Interesting to hear that story about the origins of the term “Sky Blues”, and I didn’t realise it might have been almost an accidental change initially. But I was referring to the way JH pushed that new identity and revolutionised the club, and how keen he was to break with its previous...

I guess they’d be Players No. 6 and No. 10.

Didn’t Jimmy Hill ditch a lot of the club’s history (Bantams etc.) when he launched the Sky Blues? That worked out pretty well, and effectively created an instant tradition that still defines the club today. No doubt some of the older fans at that time hated all the new-fangled ideas and the...

Well if he hasn’t got an ACL he’s really in trouble…

So on behalf of their investors Sisu prop up CCFC with minimal investment and extortionate loans, purely as a vehicle to try and get the stadium by distressing people – the Council and the charity (failed) and now Wasps (working?). It’s real estate rather than football. I don’t really get it...

It seems to be accepted on here that we need to sell a big player to make ends meet in the short term. Now O’Hare isn’t in the shop window, what happens? Genuine questions: Would it be possible for Sisu to put funds in to plug the hole, or is there some rule that would prevent it? Assuming...

We'll all happily be correct hammerman!

True, given the strategy. I guess their investors, like the fans, were happy with the downward spiral from Championship mid-table to the depths of League 2, and didn’t see anything wrong with supplementing the ever-dwindling income by disposing of vital playing assets at the first opportunity...

Pretty sure Anderson said after selling Maddison that we had ‘an investment in the remainder of his career’. But what sort of investment? How much did we get initially – about £2.5m? Many of us were angry about selling too soon, to bail out the club because Sisu wouldn’t put any more money in...

So like me you'll be watching next Tuesday night, with your pulse rate going through the roof!

You’re missing the point by miles. For all I know there are 16-y-o lads in this world who would beat the women’s Olympic champion in a sprint. Maybe that means the BBC should stop broadcasting women’s athletics because it’s second rate? Perhaps they should have relegated Steffi Graf vs Martina...

It’s fair to point out physical differences which mean you’re unlikely to see women competing directly with men at the top level of a sport like football (just as you wouldn’t expect a woman to run in the men’s 100 metres final). But you’re saying that women have inherently poorer technical...

I'm a bit too young to claim a real memory of his playing ability, but the name of Ronnie Farmer is integral to the glory years of the 60s that thrilled me as a child. RIP Ronnie, never to be forgotten.

Put him on a special diet and grow him to 6'10"?

In the online clips he’s classy and exciting, with the obvious caveat that it’s just the best 0.1% of what he’s done. But the art of management is to consistently extract the best out of people, so hopefully Robins and Viveash will do that. Let’s hope his shots are harder than Callum’s and his...

Cuthbert, Dibble, Grubb

If he scores 400 goals per minute I confidently predict we'll at least make the playoffs ;)

Probably got one or two old pics of the West End somewhere, but what exactly do you mean “Not outside the ground but as you go through the turnstiles”? Seems unlikely anyone will have pictures of the turnstiles as they go through them, or from inside the ground.

Matty's hair is sensational in the promotional pics. Fit for the window of Toni & Guy.

You pre-date the primordial soup?
