    First Ever Cov Match You Saw ?

    The first I remember was Sheff United at home. I'm pretty sure I'd been to some before and recall this game I think because I made friends with a young Blades fan and we both stood next to the steel rail on the kop. It would have been about 1970ish - Tony Currie was playing. I also remember a...

    Charlie McCann

    This seems pretty paltry for a player going to Man U - even if they are as yet unproven. The lowest potential value in 5 years time is 0 - the highest could easily be £30m +. 'Rising to £500k' implies that Man U will have most of their risk mitigated (if he doesn't progress they lose only the...

    No way - we'd win. We batter people in appeals.

    Can we win the league?

    Need to start scoring more goals before we talk of promotion.

    Video Highlights | Coventry 1-0 Port Vale

    I guess the ref saw it as obstruction - but if the Vale player hadn't shifted right they wouldn't have collided.

    Agreed. It looks like the guy runs into him.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Oooh, goody - this is my second favourite pointless argument that goes on and on repeating the same words ad infinitum. Can someone please write that SISU make a fortune out of the club now and I will be complete.

    Should drugs be legalised?

    That's a much better point. I'm going to argue that seat belts and crash helmets don't cause the criminal behaviour that drugs do. But I accept the point.

    Should drugs be legalised?

    Er no - because that harms other people doesn't it? As does criminalising drugs of course: people caught up in drug wars.

    Should drugs be legalised?

    Why are more people endangered? Anyone that wants drugs can get them already. By legalising I believe that fewer will be endangered. I'm certainly not going to buy it, even if it were legal and cost 1 penny a kilo. Same for anyone else who is educated and cares about their bodies. The...

    Should drugs be legalised?

    No. But it's happening anyway - there's no control. Legalise it and then you can see the people struggling and help them. When they are buying from a street corner they are away from all help.

    Should drugs be legalised?

    Is that John Meadows? I work for the government and we were out to get him during that time.

    Should drugs be legalised?

    I'd also legalise and tax prostitution. It's going to happen. At least provide places safe for women to work where they are protected from the nutjobs. Why force them into alleys and strangers' cars? It's madness.

    Should drugs be legalised?

    I'd legalise the lot. Nothing that is of harm only to yourself should be illegal: - If you can get the drugs easily and legally it automatically stops all the crime surrounding illegal provision - If it were legal it might not feel so glamorous to kids. - Add tax. The state can then easily...

    Turning point today.

    Can this thread title please be updated to "Turning Point Last Saturday"? I keep looking at it expecting a new, fresh turning point every day, only to be disappointed.

    Good old films

    Krzysztof Kieślowski, the Polish director who made the Three Colours trilogy, made a ten part TV series called Dekalog in the late 80s. It's absolutely brilliant.

    If You Could Do Something Else ?

    The tax changes have been numerous and make it difficult to make a profit from buy to let now. For starters there is a stamp duty surcharge if you buy a house to let. Secondly, landlords are no longer permitted to net off all interest charges on mortgages (so effectively they pay tax on the...
