    So, who do we think are the Robins type players here

    Clarke is good for 10 (own) goals a season.

    Match Thread Shrewsbury v Coventry Match Thread - Saturday 4th Mar

    We've had goal scorers and sold them. Possibly someone that can score won't fit into our salary structure.

    Was lucky enough to go to Tokyo on work several years ago. It's a fantastic place; however the expectations on working hours are obscene. I left the office around 8pm and was one of the first to go. My wife & daughter came with me and had a great time. We went to Hakone one weekend and...

    Vinyl Records

    Too bad you lost it - I had three Japanese buyers fighting over it on ebay. I was surprised they'd even heard of the Wild Boys and asked the winner - he replied that he'd heard them fron the Sent from Coventry album. 81 was the year I left Cov in the autumn - so it's possible it was that summer.

    Vinyl Records

    I sold my old punk singles several years ago. Some went for quite a lot and others not, I guess it depends on what they are. Mostly it was the early singles from popular bands such as Joy Division; Dead or Alive and the Cure and obscure bands that sold well (Menace for example). The one I got...

    Torch's Counselling Thread

    Best wishes Torch, hope it all pans out OK. My wife just the all clear after radiotherapy and chemo ending in December - the cancer has completely gone. They can do great things now.

    1994 on 6 music

    Six for me. Still play Grace often. They were playing Portishead on R6 last night - wonderful album.

    Except the Yak, who will resolutely defend 1 sq yard all match.

    After Slade

    Why would they? It's too late to save us now and if the rumour that his comp is mostly win bonuses is true he's costing very little.

    Oxford fans

    Is it true that they only sing when they're punting?

    Best performing cities

    I just took the top 20 cities population from wiki. This is a ten minute thing guys; not claiming it's perfect.

    Best performing cities

    Just because I had 30 mins I looked up the population of the 20 biggest cities on Wikipedia. I determined how many top flight clubs are in each city and then divided the current position in the league of the worst team in that area by the population per team - as some kind of calculation on...

    What needs to be done now

    1) Don't say a word about relegation. 2) Sell Harries, Stevenson, DKE... 3) Go on national radio and boast that we made a profit.

    Bobby Gould

    How about giving Faye Dunaway a shot? Would be interesting when handing in the team sheet.

    Six Nations

    That was an interesting game. Bloody awful first half until England got their heads around the 'tackle only' Italian tactics.

    I don't like Ricketts, oh no

    I got a new job once, managing a team that was under-performing (not football - but I believe there are parallels). It was an internal transfer within the company as I'd done well with another team - one I'd built myself over three or so years. The first thing I did was determine a plan to...

    Is Slade our worst manager ever?!

    SARCASM not trolling: We had had what can only be described as a terrible run of bad luck with managers. With everything else at the club perfect, it is truly shocking that we've seen manager after manager fail.

    Match Thread Coventry v Swindon Match Thread - Saturday 25th Feb

    Not my experience at all. I worked there for 4 years in the 90s and really enjoyed it - and the people were lovely. It also has fantastic sport facilities.
