    Morning playmates

    I was finished years ago. Very, very low key Christmas for the Otis household this year, but am still looking forwards to it. Hope everyone is happy and healthy too this crisp Tuesday morning.

    Abuse of players by fans

    I'm sure any speech and language expert will be easily able to identify the difference between this guy shouting 'black' and 'Manc'. When I was looking at the footage I think I was watching the wrong bloke. Ha! I had my eyes on the middle too of the 4 and not the bloke on the end.

    Yup. It acts like a CCTV these days too. I'm not a big fan of social media, but if it helps root out people like this that can only be a good thing

    We in the Washington camp of course, knew all Cousins' frailties all too well.

    Abuse of players by fans

    And talking of perceptions, Trevor Phillips, the black writer, broadcaster and former politician, apparently turned up for a big business meeting somewhere, reported at reception and was asked 'Who have you come to pick up?'

    Abuse of players by fans

    John Barnes was saying yesterday, clubs have clamped down and on the whole fans have behaved, but it's merely just a case of switching off for 90 mins. Like he says, you have to change the general perception of people. Fans keeping schtum for an hour and a half isn't really doing anything...

    Some bad play calling. Really tight game, dominated by the defences and it was really close. At 0-6 and on something like the 4 or 5 yard line I think, the Vikes decided to go for it in 4th and goal. Crazy. Take the 3pts, make it a 3 point game. Points were at a real premium.

    Obviously one was not CC4L, otherwise he would have added the words ''f**k off you twatty racist c**t' on the plinth.

    Indeed. The Bears just swarmed all over Goff and gave him no time in the pocket at all. Looking a very interesting season and no-one is truly standing out and every team looks beatable. The Bears and the Cowboys could both be Super Bowl contenders.

    I find that rather saddening.

    Yep, a well known saying for any true Coventrian.

    ten years and 5 years for hit and run

    Should be at least double that. And I think they ONLY hand themselves in for the reason of trying to achieve a more lenient sentence and it has nothing to do with conscience. Not for everyone of course, but I'm sure the majority do so in these sorts of cases.

    Well there you go! My fact of the day! Next you'll be telling me they invented the aqueduct.

    Not sure they had concrete in ancient times to be honest.

    Abuse of players by fans

    Just had a black journalist from the Mirror on 5Live. He says there is clearly a problem, and though these incidents are sort of mentioned in the papers in a small article tucked away somewhere, nothing is done and they all just move on. He said he is really cheered by Sterling speaking out...

    CWR? Surprised we haven't ended up with a Daventry one then.

    So, two weeks before Christmas

    Yeah, would have taken that for sure.
