David Meyler was very open about being shut out of the picture at Reading. It’s clear he will be a real leader and from all three it seems that he’s already positively influencing the dressing room. Nice little vignette about him physically ejecting Nigel Adkins from the dressing room because...

Held tonight, inaugural meeting, very well attended. Guests David Meyler, Dom Hyam and Bakayoko. Good fun, Meyler on particularly good form. These events are great for fostering a real sense of togetherness between fans and the players whose human side we can often forget. Clive Eakin and...

Under English law there is no time limit for prosecuting sexual assault! You could be looking at 5 years for serial offending.

How do you put a figure on it? It’s not just season ticket holders. It’s not just the aggregate of all who have attended a game this year. It’s everyone who has ever supported the club. The club’s demise would affect everyone who has ever had a dad, brother, girlfriend, mate, whatever, who...

I go and watch Cov RFC occasionally with a mate, if we’re away somewhere crap. On Saturday he went to The Butts while I was at the Ricoh. Says he was running late and got to the car park at the ground about 5 minutes to 3. As he was paying the attendant his fiver a bloke with a London accent...

Hugely frustrating not to beat such a limited team and given that they had no control over whether or not we shot accurately they were lucky not to lose by at least three goals. We weren’t unlucky because missing sitters isn’t bad luck but a lack of skill or composure. Having said that we came...

Frightening to think how much they’d charge to send you a card.

Coventry RFC had a decent 15 all draw away at Nottingham today. That’s Coventry RFC, so named because they’re from Coventry. A club with a long and distinguished history who have always played here and, oddly enough, nowhere else.

“Chortle” ...if Viz created a character called smug Wasps twat that’s how they’d have him speaking. Lifelong City fan my arse.

Wasps and the other premiership rugby clubs are also trying to pull up the trapdoor behind them and abolish promotion and relegation. Thus stamping all over the chances of Cov or any other club doing an Exeter and rising. Contemptuous of sport. So long as they are ok that’s all that matters.

I firmly believe that sport is entertainment and not religion, that grown men should not get too carried away by sport, and, perhaps most importantly, that this is a free country where people can spend their leisure time and money as they see fit. I also firmly believe that anyone who professes...

Doyler came across as very self-deprecating, acknowledging that he was out of his depth at Celtic, and being pretty modest about his fitness. But his value was shown yesterday once again. Probably not his best performance granted, pretty hard work I imagine at his age in midfield against such...

Brilliant stuff. Interview after interview we get to know the players far better than we’ve ever known them before. So often players are cagey but Ol has the knack of getting them to open up and it’s as if they are having a chat in the pub with a mate. Yes the background noise can be a bit...

It does seem to depend what mood he’s in! I agree that so far this season he has looked a real handful for defences and, hopefully, there’s a lot more to come from him. I wouldn’t fancy playing against him, so good luck if and when you get to do one of your interviews.

Always a good read, always fair, always entertaining, keep it up!

I think I may have some bad news for the MPS Football Unit. Their ‘no Cov’ plan may not work!

He played some neat little dinks today as well, and a couple of decent through balls. I thought he did ok. I’m led to understand that some of the players privately prefer playing away because of the abuse they get and not hard to see why. There’s a big difference between a collective groan...

Have to say I thought it was tremendous. Lot of talk about it being a home game for Sunderland but whilst they made some noise after they scored,we made a lot of noise throughout. Before they scored and after we did they were pretty quiet. Blocks 14 and 15 usually pretty much on their own but...

Have watched all three of these interviews and two things really impress me for a lad of SkyBlueOl’s age, in fact for any interviewer doing a piece to camera. One is that the interviews have clearly been shot in one take. The other is the research into the player’s career. Unscripted he...

As with Tom Davies and Jack Grimmer I think it’s fantastic that these players give up their time like this for you. Jordan comes across as a really decent lad and it’s touching to hear how much he gets out of re-watching those special moments. Player by player the rest of us are getting a...
