    Villa after 'Cov Kid'

    Myself and my family? Do people mean myself, but think it sounds too selfish so add family even though that is just as selfish? "Me and mine" is selfish, just be honest, as selfishness is just as acceptable and understandable to most folk. Only a monster is not "me and mine" but it doesn't make...

    Conor Thomas has come back hungry

    We need a new scapegoat now that Barton has gone. We usually go for a midfielder who fails to tear around like a terrier at the beach so CT could be that man. As such he will go up in my estimation as scapegoating always hits my unfairness button and I respond by defending them.

    The Ashes

    Is this Aussie team unravelling or will they pull themselves together? Time will tell but it will be interesting to see If Clarke's back holds up. If Starc's ankle firms up. If Smith can score runs in England and look as if he belongs to a team. If Johnson can get his line and length right at...

    Half way through July

    2 midfielders and 3 strikers, for me, is the most urgent. Worrying that we are so poorly funded that we have to wait a month into the season for prem or champ cast offs. If we do get loans I would want one quality striker on full season loan, no use having to send him back in January. It looks...

    Properly attach the source of quotations in your points to avoid ambiguity. Try footnotes, the Oxford or the Harvard system of referencing will suffice. Nah, misunderstandings are the lifeblood of forums. Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with facts.

    Nuneaton Match Thread

    Spare a thought for the teachers who have to spend hours in a classroom with kids like these with no back up and "you can't touch me, speak to me like that, I won't come to your detention, my dad will batter you" etc etc

    Women's World Cup 2015

    FA in "sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot" mode shocker. Still run by knuckle draggers in Blazers having G and Ts and chatting about skirt and Top Gear. :jerkit:

    Own goal

    Having watched football for 45 years I doubt your assertion is true. Daft thing to say.

    Own goal

    Didn't say it was better or worse. Didn't make any judgment about "foreign" football so don't ascribe Little Englander views to me. Some don't read what I post. I am chiefly interested in watching football matches in which I have an attachment. Eg. Coventry, England, Wales, or any team I know...

    Own goal

    Many matches, yes, for the reasons stated. Much top class football is dull if you don't follow either team. I have no interest in Italian, Spanish, German or any other football team I don't support. I wouldn't cross the road to see any of those games unless I had a free ticket and transport...

    Own goal

    Since women were banned from playing on any FA pitches until about 1971 their game is approximately a hundred years behind the men's in development. Comparing men and women at football is like doing it for tennis, hockey etc etc. pointless. if you enjoy football you would appreciate it for what...

    Looking good for female fans. not a solitary item of clothing unless you count the pink baby stuff. shocking with so many new items they couldn't manage one for the many hundreds of female fans.

    New kit announced in the coming days

    I was delighted but didn't like the kit. The return to all sky blue the next season, in which we played the charity shield at Wembley, was a welcome return. As I said, it's a nice kit, but is not sky blue enough for me. Now if it had sky blue shorts it would be great, despite the stripes. Sorry...

    New kit announced in the coming days

    A nice kit, but not for Coventry City in my opinion. we are the sky blues and this isn't, sorry.

    New kit announced in the coming days

    Shame about the shorts. Horrible and detracts from the sky blues. Cup final season shorts were an alternative to the regular white shorts. Striped shirt is only bearable for me with sky blue or ata stretch white shorts
