    Transfer Rumour Oliver Dovin

    As someone who loved the blood and thunder football of the past when players could maim each other without getting a yellow card, I'm confused by goalies who stay on their line rather than clattering players to get the ball - but I think it's just the modern way. You rarely see keepers claim a...

    Match Thread Stoke away 10th August 12:30 - Opening day!

    Stoke look bouyant. We look very muted. But MR has always played it safe first half, then gone for it more in the second. Expect a 0-0 now, but wouldn't be surprised if we turn it on a little more in the second half.

    New players new songs?

    I sincerely apologise for this in advance, as it's awful. But to the tune of Sexbomb. Ephron, Ephron, you're our Ephron And baby you can turn it on.

    Acknowledging it was a friendly, that was a genuinely top notch performance. Exciting going forward, solid at the back, inventive in midfield, set pieces of real quality. Incredibly excited for the season now.

    Home shirt is fastest selling in CCFC History

    I got the shirt and shorts yesterday. Avoided the socks, so I can't technically be called a full kit wanker. Never bought the shorts before, but think the combination looks really good. I'm usually a large, but as per the last few seasons had to go XL for a decent fit. Only negative was that...

    Summer transfer window 2024

    He has a goatee now. Officer Crabtree, that is. Not sure about David Rennie.

    when was the darkest era for the club?

    Burge sent off, Reda missing a penalty that I still have no idea why he took. Wasn't this the infamous pissgate game too? I'll be honest, I didn't go again after this until Pressley was sacked. I hated him with a passion that was perhaps slightly irrational.

    when was the darkest era for the club?

    Jordan Turnbull jumping ship because he didn't want to play in the 4th tier was my low point. When a player who may as well have played with a blindfold on decides your club is beneath them, then you know things are rough.

    Transfer Rumour Oliver Dovin

    Good spot. Possibly Todd Kane too, but I can't recall if there was a fee.

    Starting 11

    Agreed - teams were needing to double up on Sakamoto, which left more space for the others. He was integral to our improvement, and almost unplayable at times.

    Transfer Rumour Raphael Borges Rodriguez signs for Coventry

    As people keep asking if he'll be in the U21s, here's the direct quote: Robins told CoventryLive: “Rapha is going to be part of the first team squad. He’s a young player who has come over from the other side of the world so he is someone who is an interesting person and interesting player. “He...

    Callum O'Hare

    He was a good player in L1, then stepped up to be a good player in the Championship, but he was never a great player. I'm sad he's gone, but more from a nostaligic perspective than anything else. Apart from his hot streak when he first came back from injury, he's been underwhelming when it comes...

    Why's he wearing Pat Butcher's earrings in the video? Is that just how they roll in Sheffield?
