Aw. I hope that you're getting the help that you need. And 'government' has two 'n's, by the way.

Some beans.

Tune?

Ray Woods for me, for some bizarre reason. I think it's one of the least memorable seasons for me from that time. Gallagher played in it, too, but I always think of him in the Peugeot kit.

He also scored the first live Coventry goal I saw, against Charlton. Possibly the second, too.

Both decent lower league strikers, to be fair, just not good enough for the level we were at then.

I'll never, ever forget him partnering Kyle Lightbourne up front away to Barnsley. Ever. It went about as well as you'd expect.

Don't associate David Smith with that kit at all.

I think that's the worst one, apart from the 90s checkerboard. I never liked the original purple and yellow ones either, or the Mick Quinn kit. The one EMC is in, however, is one of my favourite CCFC kits. Only beaten by the original Hummel and the Two Tone.

Anyway, Latibeaudiere. My main gripe if he goes is we missed a glorious chant opportunity with not going for Bon Jovi. But then I'm still sad about Hyam the One and Only too, so perhaps best not listen to me on this matter.

No, but that's not really the point. It was just an example (the most obvious one) of success not always being instantaneous, and it not always being due to incompetence when it's not.

If your life had have been a bit different, and you'd have been born in a slightly different time in a slightly different place, you'd have been screaming for Ferguson's head, wouldn't you. Success isn't always instantaneous. When it isn't, it doesn't necessarily mean incompetence. Have your...

Everyone wants to see progression in the league. Not every season is going to be a success, though. And, "I don’t like King cos he’s reversed the course of the club." is a silly thing to say. Reserve your judgement until such a time has passed that a statement like that has some credibility.

I know we were all gutted that Torp's goal wasn't given, but still a stretch to call last season 'shit'.

It is, because it's too short a time to make a realistic judgement on the effect that he's had is. I don't expect people who watch shit football to be happy; I'm not happy, but that doesn't mean that I don't think it's better for sufficient time to pass before judging if someone or something...

I wouldn't put money on it, but it's hardly the point. We've had one full season since King took over. And even if we finish 17th (or whatever) this season, saying that King has regressed the club after only two seasons in charge would be hyperbolic. There's no question that this season has...

Bollocks. We didn't look "likely" to go down at all; we were one of the teams that were in the scrap, as any reasonable person would have expected a club with our resources to be. You can't try to put a negative spin on a strong finish. Good form is good form whenever you get it in a season...

With their title win (which was incredible, and a great sporting story) they had a genuine chance to raise the club to the next level. They failed spectacularly.

As has been pointed out, that is with a sample size of one. And also a season where everyone expected our league position to drop due to the player churn in the summer. Going on comments at the start of the season, the finishing place was as most predicted. Also, it seems pretty obvious that...

Tbf, I think it winds all football fans up, regardless of any rivalries. Nobody wants to see systematic cheating go unpunished.
