    Wearing Your Clubs Colours

    I've a knitted blue and white striped Man City scarf I bought on that day in Swindon in1987. I couldn't face the tv with my mates without something. It's now my favourite tribal guesture.

    And yet stupid is as stupid does. You aren't ever going to win an argument with the stupid.

    I wish there were an irreverent forum to discuss art, music and books. These interest me far more than football now.

    And btw, I understand the entertainment value for a few weeks. But this thing has gone on for years with the same cast.

    Ok, this will probably alienate everyone. I don't understand why everyone repeats the same old well-trodden arguments on almost every thread. Regulars already know each others' positions. We are a microcosm of society; the only thing we have in common is having been born in Coventry and...

    Wearing Your Clubs Colours

    I wear a scarf when I go but the shirt thing doesn't do it for me. Even as a tubby middle-aged git who has spent his life working for the man I prefer to wear something that I believe expresses my counter-culture attitude just a little.

    Armstrong - "I'll get my Hattrick next week"

    It does make me smile, there's never any sense of perspective on here; everything is black or white; one extreme or the other. On Friday Armstrong was nowt but an 18 year old kid to many; the side was going to play Wigan as sacrificial lambs without any hope and no goalscorers. Now Armstrong is...

    Wigan Athletic (Home) Match Thread

    This attack in theory is all about one touch triangles and the killer ball over the top or through a gap. Let's hope it works.

    Plans for the match

    I'm off to the Edinburgh festival tomorrow. Will be desperately trying to get the score in between shows.

    New signing tomorrow!?

    I'm hoping for a midfielder, so we can all go into meltdown again.

    CCFC sign midfielder Bryn Morris on loan deal

    I can understand your concerns about not having strikers in place yet. But I'm sure that's not from the want of trying to get them in earlier. Just because Vincelot signed earlier, surely it doesn't follow that he's the marquee signing? If anything, the delay tells us that we are hanging on...

    CCFC sign midfielder Bryn Morris on loan deal

    Sure but it isn't either/or. The strikers will come in as soon as they are available.

    CCFC sign midfielder Bryn Morris on loan deal

    Surely you hire the people you need as they become available? If we need another midfielder and one he wants is available now, wouldn't it be mad to decline and let him go elsewhere?

    Kids Company

    It seems to me that whenever any organisation starts to grow, political, corporate or charity, it doesn't take long before everyone at the top is a twat without any thought for the company/country other than what they can get out of it with weasel words.

    Tony Mowbray's Tunes ?

    I came to the wrong conclusion about 8 years ago that I'd sell all my valuable vinyl before everyone who would be interested in rare punk rock was dead. Most valuable would be "Ideal for Living" by Joy Division & "A Factory Sampler" double single (although in truth I gave those away)

    Kids Company

    It doesn't look good. I'm hearing that there have been concerns about corruption for years and now a Police investigation. I'm bracing myself for a big exposure and arrests. RSPB is also coming in for criticism for not concentrating on bird welfare any more (youforgotthebirds.com). Other...

    Waggot: "bears shit in the woods"

    Sky Blues fans on social media are up in arms today after Steve Waggot's ill-considered comments about the toilet habits of bears. Here are some comments from Twitter... 'Who does Waggot's think he is to comment on bears? No bear ever shat in the woods before SUSU. #PUSB'. Realfan 'If...
