    £9.5m?

    Since Ed Balls is now the Norwich Chairman, I think we are entitled to expect at least eleventy billion.;)

    Anyone who drives down to London, but parks outside and gets a tube in?

    Stanmore, just of the M1,then tube straight into central London. Big car park at tube station, or you can often park nearby for free on a Sunday I believe.

    City Centre, what to go and what to build

    Other cities have myriad shopping outlets ie Fosse Park at Leicester.I remember seeing on the Council's own website that we didn't feature in the top 50, even though on population we are around 10/11 on population. How people can be content about that is beyond belief. In a 2013 retail visitor...

    City Centre, what to go and what to build

    Oh yes it get's people around the City Centre well, at the expense of a dead city centre. If its such a great idea you wonder why no other City has copied it. Why won't John Lewis come to Coventry because the footfall is so poor. How many who live in Coventry never shop there, but instead go to...

    City Centre, what to go and what to build

    Coventry 9/10 biggest City population wise in England and ranked about 59th in footfall suggest something is radically wrong. It's not like Coventry has an unemployment worse than most other major Cities, it shows how poorly served we have been over decades by our beloved Council. Like most...

    Sorry my bad, I thought it was Murphy that had been brought down, it was down the other end,coming in from the right I assumed it was Murphy. In which case Murphy was garbage,get rid.:p

    Player ratings please!

    RCC not been totally convinced by him, but yesterday he had a great game, and he made a crucial save at 1-0 when he came out and a brilliant block with his feet. From a possible 1-1 game within minutes it was 2-0 and virtually game over. In the 2nd half he made a couple of excellent stops and...

    Best City XI of all-time - LM/LW

    Tommy Hutchison by a country mile. Ronnie Rees was a great winger too, but he played at lower level than Hutchison.did. We have had quite a few very good left wingers since, but none really come close to Tommy Hutch who was a mercurial talent. I would imagine there would not be many if any Cov...

    Agree with most of that. RCC had a couple of dodgy 'pass-outs' in the first half, but overall was pretty steady,albeit without being troubled too much. Thought Phillips had a pretty decent game and was one of the few players especially in the first half who matched Vale's aggression and physical...

    So, Reice Charles Cooke...

    Well since Cooke has only played a mere handful of games, and has made costly mistakes in the last three games, I'm not sure how you can claim Cooke is obviously the better. Both keepers are very inexperienced, with a lot still to prove. Indeed I believe Mowbray has said that rates both keepers...

    So, Reice Charles Cooke...

    A case of selective amnesia going on here, or are we not counting the fumble for the first goal against Doncaster. Plus of course not all Cooke's mistakes have resulted in goals.Not totally convinced by either keeper, but there is a huge case of double standards here. Burge would have absolutely...

    So, Reice Charles Cooke...

    Maybe the old adage that it is better to be lucky than good holds true then. One thing is for sure is that Cooke has made 3 bad errors in the last 3 games which have cost us 5 points. The goal we conceded on Saturday was truly woeful, and these dropped points may cost us very dearly come the end...

    congratulations J Murphy

    Very well done and much deserved, he has had a cracking month. I feel he could be a very important player for us as the season builds to a climax.

    Best City XI of all-time (GK)

    Like others have said Bill Glazier was a brilliant keeper, and he was capable of some unbelievable saves. He as much anyone was responsible for our 25 match unbeaten run that led to our fantastic promotion to the promised land. Unfortunately witnessed his terrible leg break at Maine Road, from a...

    Rcc

    That doesn't surprise me, indeed I was told don't how true it is, that he had a heart murmur,and that is why he switched to being a goalkeeper. Indeed you could easily imagine him being an outfield player, unlike say Oggy who could only ever have been a goalkeeper. I imagine he will continue to...

    When Fleck received the ball with his back to goal the player was only about 4-5 yards away. On a greasy pitch with the score at 2-1, the risk was huge as proved, and the reward would have been,what? Stokes in a bit of space still 80 yards from their goal. Yes Fleck must take his share of the...

    Rcc

    Yes,the worrying thing for me with Cooke is he has always looked like a frustrated outfield player.I don't remember seeing any goalkeeper anywhere who never kicks the ball out of his hands like Cooke does, he either throws it out or drops it onto the floor. Yes he has got great feet and passes...

    tickets for Saturday

    Went to the Butts at lunchtime to buy tickets for Chesterfield and the one positive bit of news is they have sold about 500 season tickets in the past week or so. Tickets for Saturday are so far a little disappointing but hopefully they will pick up in the next 2 days, with no game the following...
