    I'll say it

    No. It's not saying to lump it all the time. It's saying that when the pretty football is proving ineffective in a particular match you need another option to try and break down the opposition. Doesn't have to be lump it - it's just one of the potential options available. If you just keep doing...

    Kids protesting about climate change

    I've no problem with them doing it, but it's not exactly new. You had the hippie generation of the 60's (my parents age who're now the middle aged people in charge). Even my generation were quite on-board with the eco message, but again we seem to be doing little to change things. I suspect...

    I'll say it

    The Sky Blues boss refuses to resort to it I assume it's the same as in #574 (not read all of that, but the gist sounds the same) I'm OK with MR wanting to play a particular way and even starting all games in that manner if he wants. What I take issue with is when those tactics are clearly...

    Poll: How long will Trump be President?

    After this latest "sate of emergency" to get funds for the wall, there is a growing part of me that really wants it to get built, so when it is and the immigrants and the drugs still continue to pour into America he can no longer use the excuse that it's because his wall wasn't built. Plus if...

    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.

    Venezuela

    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...

    Gordon Banks R.I.P

    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...

    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.
