    CET: totally correct grammatical sentence shocker! Stokes trial.

    If you won the double......

    More like a tax on the stupid. The expected return on the jackpot alone (assuming £46mm jackpot) is 39p for every £2 ticket. I cannot be arsed to work out all the smaller prizes and add them up - but at best I assumed they sum to £1 expected return. What that means is that it is effectively a...

    If you won the double......

    The probability of matching all seven numbers is 0.00000086 % (excuse format, copied from Excel) If we assume there are 10k supporters who might invest some of their £46mm overage winnings in CCFC & each one buys 10 tickets, the probability of one of those winning in any one week is...

    As it stands

    Nobody this time thinking we'd walk Div' 2. Indeed, I'm more worried about the other end of that table.

    If you won the double......

    Yes, I'd have to win more than £20mm before I considered spending it on football. Family and friends come first.

    CET: Happy Birthday Cyrille Regis

    You were wrong, it was a tired old hack telling City fans they are illiterate and don't support Coventry well enough.

    Waggott - We Have Emerged Stronger From January Than When We Entered it

    He's wrong. In January we got 5 points from 5 games = 1 point per game. In Feb we have 1 point from 2 games = 0.5 points per game. We're upping the tempo of descent.

    I can't understand how keyboard warriors can aim such bile at a team they purport to

    Sorry to hear that - bit personal for a public forum. Have you tried viagra?

    I can't understand how keyboard warriors can aim such bile at a team they purport to

    "illiterate"? Well yes, naturally there are some under-educated fans who comment but there are also plenty who can expresses themselves perfectly in English. However Alan has the benefit of proof readers and I still occasionally cringe with the spelling and grammatical errors. Dunning Kruger...

    The Pressley Myth

    I expect a cycle now. In 12 months or so I hope we'll have seen Thomas and Madison lifting us up League 2. SISU will insist they are sold and we'll start the inevitable descent down that league.

    The Pressley Myth

    You're right - he was. Wrongly assumed that as he was Scottish SP had signed him. Dispel the myth? I think the OP has proven it's true.

    The Pressley Myth

    However, of that team, Clarke, Adams and Wilson were already at the club. Clarke and Adams must have been injured and Pressley got lucky that Wilson matured over that Summer. All he added was Fleck and Webster - and people may argue that Webster wasn't an improvement. Also, surely it wasn't...

    Is it time for "we want Pressley out " at matches ?

    I don't think she would. She's a very stubborn person and it would cost her money to do so.

    3-0. Jordan Clarke own goal hat trick. Defence plays a blinder. Webster back in on Saturday.

    Will there suddenly be more players injured as division 4 looms ?

    I would imagine on their relationship with the manager. If they support him and buy into the cause they will not. If they are alienated they will not care so much and be thinking about next season with team x in Div 1.

    CET: Happy Birthday Cyrille Regis

    Gordon Strachan was the best player I've ever seen in Sky Blue, even in his dotage he looked like a man playing against boys.

    CET: Happy Birthday Cyrille Regis

    The CET is running a story that it is Cyrille's 57th birthday today. I'm looking forward to a series of stories every day: Maurice Setter's 48th Wedding Anniversary; Mick Coop's 68th birthday; Exactly 49 years since Willie Carr bought his first car...

    Managers and Trends

    I think that there is much to support your argument. We don't know just how tied Pressley's hands are.
