    Last Penalty Given

    Ugh, this brought up PTSD from when I calculated the odds of losing 4 coin tosses in a row to be 6%. But we still lost them. Giving us, statistically, a 20% chance of winning a penalty shootout against Luton and Man United 😫😅

    Video A first day back on the grass for Oliver Dovin. 💪

    Not necessarily. 9 months is the FASTEST recovery time from an ACL including 3 months physio/strength building. As we don't need to rush him back, it will probably be closer to the more ideal 12 month recovery time, so may see him around March, assuming no setbacks. We may weigh up looking to...

    Disgrace

    That's football though, and has been since the dawn of time. Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don't. I'm not someone who thinks it balances out over a season, especially for a team like us - but it's the game we all fell in love with. VAR may improve the overall efficacy of some...

    Disgrace

    I don't care how much they get it right or not, it ruins the game for everyone in the stadium who enjoys celebrating goals. VAR is for people who watch football on TV or politely clap in the stadium after a goal.

    Atmosphere again

    The home atmosphere has been on a gradual decline for about 2 years now. The first 3 or so years after the return to the CBS it was incredible, bouncing almost all game start to finish. If anything, it got louder after we went a goal down, so the excuses about results/performances are rubbish...

    Video Frank Lampard and Ellis Simms react to Coventry City's win against Middlesbrough 🎙️

    His goal last night reminded me a little of his goal away Vs Huddersfield, similar sort of finish, opening his body up and using the inside of his foot to curl it into the top corner, albeit the angle was a lot tighter Vs Huddersfield.

    Match Thread Middlesbrough - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 25th Nov

    Ellis Simms goal per minutes ratio makes him the deadliest striker with one every 85 league mins. Next highest is Jack Clark at Ipswich with one every 116 minutes for any player with 5 goals or more

    Wrexham Away

    I'm hoping they're just adding the high categories to reduce the website traffic and risk of crashing, rather than it's an indication of how many people we have with 1900+ and 2000+ points... I'm on high 1800s points and always been in the top categories for the likes of Luton, Bournemouth and...

    Wrexham Away

    Not sure how many people have got to over 2000 and 1900! We barely miss a game and are only back up to high 1800s after the points that were taken off end of the season. Only away game we haven't done this season is the Millwall cup game, wish we'd bought one like everyone else now! Didn't think...

    Millwall tickets

    Yeah, I've booked the 11pm train back, its 20 mins from London Bridge to Euston, even if the game doesn't finish until 9:45, and there's a wait getting the Overground from South Bermondsey, there's still a good 30 mins leeway

    Match Thread Leicester City - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 20th Sep

    I agree, I think Lampard has improved our overall base level, and made us more consistent. But Robins always had us up and overperforming in the big games or games against better teams (on paper) Like the Wolves, Leeds, Leicester, Middlesbrough away playoff wins, and we all know what happened...

    That's the Way chant

    This video of Hibs fans has been going viral over the last week or so, so I'm guessing that was what inspired us to sing a version of it, too.

    Embarrassing

    I know it doesn't make them thick, I said it's more likely that they will be. Being educated isn't the be all and end all, there's some very astute people who have had little education, and some absolute wallys who have been to Oxbridge. But it is more likely to be the other way round, on the...

    Embarrassing

    You're right, 100%. I apologise. It's actually a pet peeve of mine when people use the left/right labels, especially when you consider how far the Overton Window has shifted in the UK in the last 10 years.

    Embarrassing

    You're right to be wary of statistics, they certainly can be manipulated to tell a story and push an agenda. And it's impossible to know the reasons for individual cases about why they voted a particular way, trends can be useful, but won't pick up the reasons behind protest votes, for sure...

    Embarrassing

    Well...the demographics do indicate, that on the balance of probabilities, they are more likely to be thick. I understand your point that every opinion and vote has equal weighting, regardless of how well researched they are. And I don't automatically label everyone with different political...

    Embarrassing

    It's exactly why the previous few right wing Governments have put less emphasis on people going into higher education, as it was 'spiralling out of control' and we were at risk of having an, ever increasingly, educated society (and not divided and conquered, like Britain bloody well oughta be)...
