    All white. Sad, but true. Seems strange to omit Regis, Dion, McGrath, Bennett, Ndlovu and no doubt others. Many white greats missing too. Pearce, Mortimer, Curtis and others. Sorry if this turns into a racism thread. Maybe it is just a personal selection and least said, soonest mended.

    Twist and Shout

    Our fans need to stop singing that f@cking awful England dirge, "We're on our way, on our way." It makes me want to leave the ground, honestly.

    Confirmed Ins and Outs 2019/2020 Summer

    Remove the apostrophes on INs and OUTs. They add no value, on FIFA 19 (whatever that is) or for grammar purposes. :happy:

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    At my school only about 10 per cent show any interest in their union and the.main reason for being in one is for legal protection against malicious accusations. Unions have good lawyers.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    As a teacher for over 30 years I can tell you most teachers are like the general population, a mixed bag with a few lefties. Most colleagues show no interest in politics.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I think it will be very damaging, undoubtedly, and that's why MPs should apologise and offer their constituents their resignations or a public meeting with the chance to remove them. But it is the lesser of 2 evils: keep a foolish promise or save the nation from dark times and worse instability...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I think one reason is that there is a suspicion that TM (and the shadowy figures of hard Brexiteers) will just be trying to run down the clock as it is the default option. In other words they don't have to negotiate seriously. Another reason is that most of the opposition parties are genuinely...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I just wish enough MPs had the courage to do what the majority of them want to do. We keep hearing there is no majority in the house for any option, but there is, they are just too scared to say it or enact it. This is what the majority think - There is no good Brexit deal: soft medium or hard...

    January Window

    The only time I have ever had info from the horse's mouth, ahem ... The striker we are hoping to bring in now would excite the fans and give a real chance of climbing the table this season. The fly in the ointment is that it is dependent for now on Callum Wilson moving in this window. That's...

    Throwing Pints in the air to celebrate?

    This is really very simple. If you hang out with chavs expect moronic behaviour. Stay home or go to a more genteel venue, not a chav hotspot. I don't know why there is surprise at this, the country is full of numpties as described by others.

    It’s no surprise

    Attachment, my friend, not inner peace though, is it?

    Fixture clashes....

    For gawd's sake. There was no big moral statement. What a twisted perspective. I can't even figure out how you can interpret my reasonable annoyance with 1) Too many evening games ... my opinion, I am entitled to hold it. 2) selling one of our best players. ... as a big moral statement?

    Fixture clashes....

    I have already outlined my reasons for not getting a season ticket and evening matches is one factor in putting me off. On a Friday night with the M5 by Oldbury roadworks it is gridlock every week. It took a colleague 2 hours to get to Luton midweek match and he missed the whole first half...

    Fixture clashes....

    Glad I didn't get a season ticket after today. Friday night matches impossible for those of us who don't live near Coventry, in my case trying to get from Dudley in Friday rush hour traffic. Selling McNulty too is a kick in the head. This wil lose the club a few hundred fans x their £20+ for...

    2018-19 Shirt Launch and Evening with Mark Robins - 29th June

    Love it. A proper City kit. Looks one of the best. I will be buying 3 later today. On the stripes issue. Yes, we won at Wembley three times in stripes, so bring out a new stripy shirt every time we play at Wembley. Simple! To be pedantic though, we played in solid sky blue all season to make...
