But in that case you're looking at the legal sense of what is or isn't Coventry City, not the spiritual which going by what you've posted is what you care about. Aren't AFC Wimbledon now recognised as 1988 FA Cup winners?

In which case according to SBR they aren't fans anyway. And if they did fuck off because we lost our league status why would you miss them? Fair weather wankers.

Legally it's difficult to say. Maybe not. Spiritually, unequivocally yes it would be. Would it matter if from a legal sense we had or hadn't won the cup in '87? When you go to a game and we score a goal do you celebrate because we won a trophy in the past, or due to the surge of emotion at that...

Yes, it is a simple point. It's mob/gang mentality and a sporting equivalent of religious zealotry. From one point it creates a sense of belonging and community, but look slightly deeper and It's the kind of thinking that leads to wars and hatred of others because they're slightly different from...

So by this if we didn't get a deal, lost our league status and we ended up playing at the Butts or whatever it really wouldn't matter - the club would still exist because the fans would still exist. Even if we had to rebuild this club from scatch we would still care, all those emotions would...

That is a letter from Otium under the guise of CCFC. They (the owners) have tried very hard recently to create this separation between club and owners but that's not how it works. Far too many people are looking on this from being a supporter. From that standpoint I understand the responses...

--------------------Burge Sterling*----Willis----Davies---Brown Thomas----Doyle---Bayliss---Hiwula ---------------Baka------JCH I think one of the CB's won't be fit, so Hyam will probably play. Also Grimmer if Sterling isn't ready. I'm keeping Doyle in as we've had a good rest from our last...

I'm wondering how people on here feel about the Blaze, given that they're as much a 'franchise' team as Wasps? We effectively 'stole' them from Solihull because we could offer them a rink they could join the top level with? BTW I say this as someone who has attended a number of Blaze games...

I'm sure boot design/materials have a significant role to play in many injuries. As a lad I remember shin splits being a very common injury when you had boots with little to no cushioning. Then it was metatarsals with things like Predator when they made the top from lighter, more flexible...

He's an exceptional driver - extremely competitive but has the talent to back it up. I think the greatest thing about him is how teams have improved with him there. When other drivers have changed teams they've lost a bit of competitiveness or just fall off a cliff whereas Hamilton seems to drag...

She's appearing at the Albany Theatre next year I think,

After the people involved and their families, I also feel some sympathy for the driver. Having had members of the family suffer from dementia, the individuals are usually the last people to realise and the hardest part is trying to tell them in a kind way that you think they should be tested...

It seems most of his complaints are things he should be able to rectify given the size and age of the squad. If they're tired then you either need to change the line-up or alter the training plan. That's before we even start on in-game stuff like formations and subs.

So, 'streetwise' has again reared it's ugly head and he's complaining other teams have experienced strikers when he blew the best part of a mil on three WIP's at best, duds at worst.

As we've not heard from schmmeee I guess he made the right choice.

I think the 'golden boy' comment is more MR's opinion rather than fans'

You do wonder if JCH has got a bit complacent knowing Biamou is out as no-one is really going to take his place cos none of our other forwards are the same 'type' as him.

Maybe not but the difference is Thomas was brought in to mainly create chances - which he's done. Chaplin was brought in to score goals (for quite a big fee for us and with a lot of hoo-haa over the will-he-won't-he) - which he hasn't done. Dropping him now would massively dent his confidence...

But then who'd be providing the chances for him?

Very poor second half. Although quite a few of that team couldn't argue if they were dropped next game with the weekend off by the time we play again it'll have been forgotten a bit and MR will get away with picking the same lot again. Be interesting to hear MR's comments after the game - if...
