    Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!)

    100%. The bare minimum a striker should aim for is 15 goals in a season. We have a chronic history of shit strikers, that struggle to break into double figures. In 1998 we sold Dion Dublin who had got 18 goals that season. Following him, we had to wait 8 years to have another player hit at...

    Sounds familiar beware Blackburn

    I’m gobsmacked Mogga sounds like he wants to repeat the same path as before, that caused us to have the worst summers recruitment I can ever remember. If I was a Blackburn Rovers fan I would be very worried. I still believe Robins would of kept us up, if we hadn’t of wasted time with Venus and...

    Sounds familiar beware Blackburn

    On reflection, I still blame 85% of our relegation on Slade, he absolutely has us dead and buried by February.

    Sounds familiar beware Blackburn

    I was a fan of Mowbray for that good season we had but this is flabbergasting and in hindsight I've probably been a bit light on him. Has he not learnt from the past, where he fucked up our summer recruitment and the only loans we got in were dogshit? This whole, we've got to wait for Premier...

    Blocks 14 to 16

    I hate SISU as much as everyone else but there’s no way they can be blamed for this. They’re bothered about money not seating arrangements.

    Blocks 14 to 16

    I hope this doesn’t mean the SIB will be swamping Block 20, how can I enjoy the match if a teenage yob is chanting about Biamou in my ear??

    Wimbledon away ?

    And that’s the perfect excuse not to drive and to have a few pints!! Hopefully it will he another good season following CCFC!

    Wimbledon away ?

    Theyre good as well and worth it. I did about 9/10 Away games on the train and reckon the railcard saved me well over £200. Come the start of the season they’re one of the first things I look to buy. I’m a sucker for a saving and trying to get the travel as cheap as possible but it all adds up...

    In The Times today

    If I went home and Margot Robbie and Mollie King were both lying naked on my bed, who would I shag first? Another example of a totally implausible question that’s not worth an answer! Note: Neither, would much rather have a go on Big Brenda from the spoons at Grimsby Away!

    In The Times today

    Club vs Country is one of the most boring arguments in history. Choose what you fucking want. I like following City and England Away, end of story. Both are one of the best/most expensive hobbies in the world to me.

    Wimbledon away ?

    I bought a few weeks ago mate and £15 without a railcard. This might be useful for you or some others to save money on train travel through the season but two weeks ago I found out that I could purchase an NUS card, even though I’m no longer a student and haven’t been for 5 years. When it asks...

    Wimbledon away ?

    Already bought train tickets, will be my First game of the season. Will take it on the chin if I don’t get a ticket, happy to sit in the home end for this one.

    Bids for McNulty / McNulty to Reading

    I know hence on my original post I’ve credited Robin’s coaching which clearly gets the best out of most of our players. I will do, I’m just struggling to see how this is good business but I do recognise the club did what they could to keep him with getting promoted to L1, a new contract etc.

    Bids for McNulty / McNulty to Reading

    I agree with a chunk of this but there’s a couple of areas I don’t, but that’s the fun of forums right?! Goalscorers, I understand the point but you either score 20 goals in a season or you don’t. As much as I rated the others, McNulty, Armstrong and Wilson are the only ones that actually have...

    Bids for McNulty / McNulty to Reading

    I’m not saying he wasn’t. I’m saying we’re not going to get a like for like replacement for McNulty, ready to go and score goals, on a free transfer. Robins could well find another gem, who he can turn good like McNulty but that takes time and we all know that in football that’s in short...

    Bids for McNulty / McNulty to Reading

    Isn’t that exactly what we were told after we sold Maddison? What was that money reinvested in- Darius Henderson and Stephen Hunt? I’m not saying everything is about SISU - I’m being realistic and in the last 6/7 years next to no money from player sales has been put towards transfer funds...

    Bids for McNulty / McNulty to Reading

    Do we replace them? McNulty is only the third 20+ goal a season striker we have had since we got relegated from the Premier League 17 years ago and only the 2nd we’ve actually owned!! At Coventry City we seem to have low standards when it comes to strikers - whereby 15 goals a season is...

    Is a new Goalkeeper a priority

    Big Barry was probably a founding member of the 'McNulty is fucking shit' brigade. I'll never forget the way McNulty was vilified last season, anyone with any basic knowledge of football, even your average Bazza, could see McNulty was getting closer and closer and it was only a matter of time...

    Throwing Pints in the air to celebrate?

    So I don't bore you with a really long reply outlining all the terms and conditions. Now: I'm in the Travel Club, pay £65 every two years and then you enter the ballot for tickets. You build up points (caps) the more games you go, which gives you more chance/opportunity of getting tickets and...
