    I'll say it

    You make that argument with yourself that they must have better info seeing them in training, but then you remember things like Andy Morrell on the right wing, Bakayoko as a lump-it-to-his-head targetman and Maguire-Drew/Josh Barrett on the pitch and think "Do they really know them?"

    Gordon Banks R.I.P

    You cease to be a knight of the realm when you die, so a posthumous knighthood isn't a thing. Should've had one 50 years ago.

    I was talking about the subject on the whole, not the particular individual.

    Socialism has many problems that the theory does not address - I agree it becomes a race to the bottom because if you can't gain more for effort/hard work the only way to gain advantage is get the same as others but do less. it doesn't take into account individual will and desire or assumes...

    It's fine as long as the music teacher acknowledges all forms of music and doesn't overly bang on about Beethoven. If they go around saying rap/hip-hop/grime etc isn't music then no because that's personal opinion. Similarly if the PHSE teacher goes on about homosexuality for an inordinate...

    Death List 2019

    If he'd have needed an autopsy you'd really hope the report was set out in an exploded diagram. Same as last year when the IKEA bloke died - part of you really wanted a report set out in a "bone A inserts into socket B" and his coffin came flat packed.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Walsall Match Thread - Saturday 16th Feb

    Shipley came on as a sub last game though didn't he? Meyler will come in for Westbrooke I reckon (possibly Wakefield but he should offer something different attacking wise) I agree about those three being the key midfielders, but how to fit them in? Play two-up top (as I think we should)...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Walsall Match Thread - Saturday 16th Feb

    Got a soft spot for Walsall cos a friend at uni was a fan. On a bad run at the mo and I'd hope we can take advantage. Any normal team playing the way we have against their form would have us down to give them an absolute hiding but with our shot conversion rate it'll end up being a close...

    England's greatest ever keeper IMO and would definitely make my all-time world cup squad. RIP

    Surprising new development

    I seem to remember there being rumours of SISU shutting the academy down because they thought it didn't add any value to the club as the youngsters kept on being released rather than sold and was a drain on resources (I remember seeing a figure of £100k being bandied about but that again wasn't...

    Surprising new development

    Talking of Willis I remember reading a Teletext match preview quite a few years back that described him as a "full black". There was also one that listed our "staring XI" This could also be good for the club in the stadium battle - Wasps are half-black so the EDL will clearly be looking for...

    Is this whole thing a Haskell Mk2?

    As owners they can do what they want with it, just like anybody else, and our owners did with Highfield Rd. Don't think its right they were ever given a chance to own it, but our owners were given many years and multiple chances to do so before the atmosphere turned so sour no-one was going to...

    Surprising new development

    Is this why we've got a load of right wingers and no-one on the left?

    Have never signed up to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or any of the other stuff like that and have no intention of doing so. Friends have my phone number/e-mail if they want to get hold of me. Only look at twitter to get the line-up for City/U23/academy because they put it on that before the...

    Is this whole thing a Haskell Mk2?

    Probably, but that figure would almost certainly be an amount no remotely sane person would even consider paying.

    Is this whole thing a Haskell Mk2?

    I think there could be a rule that a clubs owners can't split ownership of a stadium and the club itself, so they can't sell the stadium to pay off debts. If a club can't pay its debts over time it has to be put up for sale INCLUDING the stadium, and the prospective owners HAS to take it on with...

    Why Strikers Miss Goals ?

    As long as the team are under the understanding that a particular player is just in the team to score goals and the others will have to make up the slack. Then that striker (I don''t think you could put two on just to score goals - it'd leave too much for everyone else and the egos would make it...

    Why Strikers Miss Goals ?

    I agree - 5 a side really does help with a few things technique wise - passing, shooting early and on-target even if you are much closer to the goal to begin with (although the goals are smaller as well). Only thing it doesn't really help with are stamina and spatial/tactical awareness on a...

    Man suing parents for giving birth to him

    Can't believe it's serious. I suppose some lawyer, cash-up-front would take it on knowing it'll be laughed out of court (if it got that far. If it is, I really hope his mum and dad countersue him for potential loss of earnings, upkeep costs stress and emotional damage. They didn't ask for HIM...
