This is the first season in an age that I've been able to say to people that I'm a Coventry City fan and have conversations about how good we are / have been as opposed to whether we'll be in League 2 next year. Sure, the wheels have fallen off, but it's the best few months I've had as a fan in...

According to Wiki we paid £2m for Gioacchini. Oddly, I looked him up on there last night.

Blame Jimmy for that!

For failing to live up to Champ Manager legend status, Nii Lamptey. For being a waste of money for all but his last contracted year, Julian Joachim. For being a bucket of excrement, Eddie Johnson.

The EPL is a treasure trove nowadays. Multi-millions in the coffers even for abject failure. That's the reason certain people want a football club (along with those who are rich enough to have one as a plaything or those that have a 'look at me' complex). Most of us know that running a club...

Well, you got the 35 yarder right!

Sheesh, we haven't sold the messiah. We've sold a kid - talented, but fragile - who has made a dozen first team appearances. He's hardly Maradona or Messi . He's not even a mainstay of the team. Maybe - just maybe - the money we get gives us a chance to stay in the Championship if we happen to...

Spurs snapping up the youngsters is a repeat of their plan from 10 years ago when they signed players like Dawson and Davenport and a dozen others. That didn't work out so well, iirc. But when players like Alli pop up I guess it makes people think. For too long the foreign legion have been...

Tinkering hasn't done us much harm so far. Plus he gets paid to put out a winning team, so he plays the people he thinks will achieve that. I'm all for it tbh. After all, the opposition can't plan on how to defend when they don't know who will be tearing down at them!

We could make half a team from the players yet to make a debut! Lorenzon, Ramage, Rose, Hunt (any others?). Exciting timez!* Used a z to prove I'm still down wid da kidz, innit.

Apparently Hooi is Russian slang for penis.

I think TM knows the squad needs freshening up. Like you say, every team has a wobble. We're having ours and are still picking up points which can't be bad! If we don't go up - heck, if we miss out on the playoffs - then this season has still been one of the best results-wise since the late 80s...

TM would go for someone else young and hungry. Remember he said at the end of last season about getting someone from another team's U21's to be a 20-a-season striker. He did that the first time round, that's for sure!

I'd have Leon Clarke back. Better option than Tudgay on the bench. His supposed attitude might be a problem though!

Lower league football is quite odd. Players that stand out tend to go up a level or two and struggle, although there are obvious exceptions. I remember watching Matt Tubbs on TV a few years back in an FA Cup game - for Grays, I think - and he was head and shoulders above any player on the pitch...

Comparing apples with oranges a little here. They're different players with different skills. But objectively, Baker won POtS at MK Dons and went up to the Championship. JOB is playing well (and is probably my favourite player of the last season and a third) but has less X-factor. He's...

When Lameiras signed, Mowbray said he would pick and choose the lad's games. Which he has done. I'd ask, can you really see our Tone being blackmailed by McLaren to play someone he doesn't want? Really? He doesn't seem that sort of chap to me.

Eddie Johnson. Absolute gashbucket of a player.

There's a listen again facility on their website.

Jose Perdomo. South American flair. Marsden was class, and should have been signed. Came from Huddersfield reserves IIRC. Think Cedric Roussel was originally a loan, too. He was great at first then faded badly. Modern-day, I think we have to go with McGoldrick. Maybe this season's bunch will...
