    What formation would you play?

    I don't get the obsession with formation. That, on it's own, means nothing. It's the system as a whole that counts; personnel, shape, pressing and passing styles, and so on. It's rather archaic to talk about 'formation' like it's the be-all and end-all.

    Talksport - Cov gonna be mentioned after the news

    Seconded. Talks about the game intelligently and his passion shows through. Doesn't just blindly nod when someone says something he disagrees with and doesn't tend to sit on the fence too much. Far better than most pundits.

    Striker on the way and possibly a defender

    Don't all of our loans expire in January?

    Bit harsh. It's 14 in 104.

    Goalkeeper

    If I was Murphy I'd have joined Huddersfield too. He's a good age for a keeper, playing in a higher league, with a higher pay-packet, and will possibly enhance his International prospects. The situation re: offering a contract at our end is almost irrelevant in my opinion. He may have said he...

    waggott pledge

    I had to listen to that part a few times to work out if there was something to read between the lines. His tone of voice didn't change, but he did seem to correct himself to say 'allow us to go on the pitch'. From that I assumed it meant that the 60p contributed to the footballing pot rather...

    waggott pledge

    On the Sky Blues Phone-in: Linnell: "How does FFP now affect the club, now that you're back at the Ricoh Arena, because the fans contribute to that, don't they, when they buy their tickets?" Waggott: "The most simplistic way - although, technically it's slightly different - but I...

    ...for 2 years plus a 2 year extension?

    I must have done at some point, but i can't really remember. I saw Christopher Timothy from All Creatures Great and Small eating one while waiting to cross the road in Shirley once though. Sticks in my mind for some reason. Anyway, back to the point. Just because the council are involved...

    August 21st 2014 - We need to thank the "Hill" people

    Look, at the end of the day the result is the one we all wanted. How we got there is, for the next few days at least, largely irrelevant. Let's just have a nice piss-up and make friends, eh?

    ...for 2 years plus a 2 year extension?

    To be honest I don't think we have a right to know the minutiae of the contract . Morally I kind of agree with you, but that's not how businesses work in the real world. After all, we wouldn't expect Greggs to tell us how much rent they pay for their store just because we buy a sausage roll...

    A song to our club, welcome home everyone.

    Can't have that. Willie Thorne appeared to that tune in a Walker's Crisps advert. Too Leicester related to sing at our place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvJZL2SnFBE

    Surely 'Football's Coming Home'?

    Predict the Gate

    Sell out. Everyone seems to be texting me asking about going. Assuming I'm not alone in that, then there won't be enough seating to fit everyone in!

    Barnsley match thread

    0-2. Barnsley score early doors, then pop another in the onion bag in the last ten. Pressley to say we were fantastic.

    Isn't this the Thorn diamond?

    What else do we need?

    A central midfielder in the mould of Julian Darby, if you ask me.

    Urquhart terminates contract

    Thing is, with the number of players signing 1 year deals (and the few out of contract in 12 months time) we could end up with another brand new Xi at the start of next season. Can't help but think this season is a bit all-or-nothing re: promotion. And being CCFC, chances are it'll be nothing.
