    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    I wonder if the 5 subs thing will become a permanent fixture in the game. Hope not, but I can see some arguments that it helps the players remain fresh and reduces injuries.

    PES 2020

    Yeah, everything else was spot on. Worked out the kit issue - it didn't like the naming format of the file, so I just renamed them and they appeared. Thanks for the files - appreciate the effort.

    PES 2020

    Thank you. I'm WFH, so I'll give it a go when I get chance. Thanks for the quick reply.

    PES 2020

    Just bought PES for 4.99 on the PS store. I spent two hours last night downloading and uploading mods, and the only kit I can't get to work is the City one. I used @Alkhen's file for that (copying over Preston) and the names and ground etc. worked but not the kit. Can anyone kindly tell me what...

    Things that freak you out

    I used to look at the clock at exactly 11:11 almost every day, and I did it for years on end. I thought I was off my rocker. Then I Ask Jeevesed it (it was a long time ago) and it turns out it's quite a common phenomenon. Uri Geller even had a website about it at one point. I mean, the...

    Book Writing

    I've written the first draft of three novels, all 80,000 words or so. I set myself a target of 500 words per day and track it on a spreadsheet. Trouble I have is that I edit as I go, so it can take three or four hours to get 500 words that I'm happy with, and I find that it sucks the enjoyment...

    Fly on the wall football films/documentaries

    The four year plan was brilliant. Watched it last week for the first time, and couldn't believe the impatience and lack of knowledge on display from people who you would expect to have some. Makes Orange Ken seem like a beacon of wisdom in comparison. A shout out to what I find to be best...

    Quest EFL goal of the season.

    To be fair to the lad, that was a very good goal. Better than Puscas' effort imho.

    City Bosses Stupidly Fired - Take No Taxis

    Phil Neal always used to refer to us as 'your team' rather than 'our team / my team'. It was such an annoying habit, and always made me feel like he didn't care. IIRC, he was challenged on it once and said that it was because Liverpool was his team, not Coventry City.

    Opposition players city fans hate

    I always hated Jason McAteer, not for any CCFC related reason, just that he struck me as a whiny, whinging tosspot. Oh, Frank LeBoeuf for spitting on the City shirt after they'd had to borrow our away kit (I hope I've remembered that correctly - must have been 25 years ago, so maybe not!)

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    You would assume the FA and EFL have some kind of documented disaster recovery plan / contingency covering scenarios like this. My workplace does, regardless of how low the risk of something like this happening is (or was).

    Player of the season so far

    That's how I feel about Walsh. I thought his first few games were quite iffy, although he was without Kelly at that time. He's got better and better as the weeks have rolled by.

    Match Thread Ipswich v Coventry Match Thread

    The fluid football changed around the same time as pitches started to feel the effects of Winter. I imagine it has been a deliberate change of approach by the management team.

    Match Thread Ipswich v Coventry Match Thread

    We now have the joint best defensive record in the division, with 30 goals conceded.

    Biggest achievement, 87 Cup win or promotion ?

    Depends on your age, I guess. Cup for me, but for the young 'uns who weren't alive then, promotion would probably the pinnacle.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    One problem would be if key players were infected / quarantined. What if, say, Marosi, Dabo and Walsh had to be isolated - could the games be postponed, or would we just have to play the back-up players? Could it derail ours / other teams' seasons? Be interesting to see the stance the...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Sunderland Match Thread - Sunday 1st Mar

    Joey Barton was right - Sunderland have a horrid style of play.

    League one Friday/Saturday

    We could do with boosting our GD a little. 4-0 win on Sunday would be helpful.
