Before the shootout, I was confident about us winning if it came down to it. That quickly went away when it started and had a crisis of confidence, especially when Henderson missed. To win on penalties is massive for the psyche of the nation, we really needed this! I had a feeling that if we...

Ah, the daily reminder that football fans know nothing!

Maybe Vieri is a bit tetchy because Italy didn’t qualify...

It was hilarious, apparently he wasn’t a ‘natural goalscorer’ even though at Portsmouth he scored a goal every 2.7 games so a reasonable projection was around 17 goals. I also remember the outcry when we missed out on Collins, but, he cost a substantial amount for a L2 striker at approximately...

He also retweeted CCFC tweet in March about Hickman’s contract signing

Ironically, the BBC article that you bet directed to when clicking on ‘giant defender Abu Ogogo’ tells you he’s a midfielder on the second line. The article reeks of shoddy ‘journalism’. Few other mistakes: - our defence was the best in the league until roughly game 40 of the season, we...

Out of curiosity, how do you know this?

Signing today? I’ve just googled him, he’s an international for the USA and was on loan at Bolton last year, notching up 30 appearances. If we do sign him, we really do mean business!

I’m backing Sterling and really want him to do well after such a great season with Man City. We have such a good opportunity to change the national psyche by getting to a semi-final — the last time we did it in a World Cup, I wasn’t even born!

To sum up some Cov fans, against Stevenage at home, when McDonald’s dodgy clearance put Stevenage’s Revell through on goal, 1v1 and he scores, some idiot shouts ‘for fucks sake Burge’ when it goes in... Generally speaking, a lot of sports fans either can see no wrong in the players they like...

You say most of these managers ‘didn’t have a choice’, when they did because RCC has here. In fact, a lot of people thought Burge, not RCC, should’ve been let go. This season, Burge was far higher in the rankings than RCC. He was playing for Swindon too so hardly a massive gulf in quality...

Me too, same with Spain to beat Russia. Thought I was being a smart arse by betting on both teams thinking I couldn’t lose. Well, this is why I don’t gamble with real money!

It was suicidal getting rid of their manager that close to the tournament. There's something stale about the way Germany and Spain are playing at the minute. Especially with Spain who struggled to break down all the teams they played, if you held a deep line and stayed in your defensive...

Afterall, we all know how to win the World Cup with England after a few beers and because Southgate appears to know what he's doing, it does make me wonder if he's getting pissed on the job!

The fact we all know is that he got the most votes and that's all that matters really. With all due respect, I've already stated that by every conceivable metric, he was amongst the best GKs in the league. They've been hashed out and debated in all of the dedicated threads to Burge -- feel free...

So the people that voted him as GK of the year are clueless? But wait, I suppose the actual football people know jack diddly squat compared Barry from Radford...

Frankly, I doubt you’ve done the statisical analysis to back that statement up. By any measurable metric, he was near the top end of L2 GKs, and there were some pretty decent resumés around him. Rightly or wrongly, his peers judged him to be the best GK in the league. You don’t get accolades...

When Bayliss played out wide, he had a tendency to give away cynical fouls because he was beaten by his man -- the away leg v Notts County is a good example of this, frankly, Bayliss is not significantly better than Shipley defensively, at least in wide positions. Your points about Shipley's...

From what you’ve heard, will he be in and around the first team, or a development player?

He’s not our weak link at all. He’s on the same amount of goals as Bayliss in a similar amount of games. Yet, Shipley has double the assists Bayliss has. Considering your average Cov fan views Bayliss as the second coming Christ on Earth, backing him to go all the way, from a statistical point...
