Indeed, though ask people what you get if you take 20% off £100, and then put 20% back on the remaining amount, and you'll get some different answers. Anyway, as an aspiring professional footballer (surely it's not too late!), I always give 110%, boss. 😁

Fair enough. I apologise if I missed the joke. In fairness socialists are renowned for our lack of a sense of humour. (Also a joke, btw, I'd find it hard to pin down too, so I wouldn't necessarily label myself as a socialist. It's not about a five year plan for tractor production though, I'll...

I don't think she owns it if she stays in post though, mate. She could step down as a minister, accept she's shown a lack of judgement, and perhaps come back later.

I get you don't agree, which is fine, but if you listen to the roundabout painters, most if them seem to have either lost or never had any faith or belief in politics. So it's become almost literally black or white, with protest and anger as their only voice. I think that's my point, and things...

No mate, they really don't. That's a myth by the thick or the lazy on the right, who simply want to use the word 'socialism' as a slur. I'm sure that's not your intention though, right?

The point is about trust in politicians. What's the most common excuse the dickheads painting roundabouts are using? No one listens to us, they're all the same. Don't give them the ammunition. If you don't think a large proportion of those same people have serious issues with those of a...

Anyone who supported the last Tory government, or the current opposition, or Farage, and is on here to bang on about Labour "hypocrisy", has absolutely no self awareness and clearly doesn't watch the news. As for "socialism", give it a fucking rest. Most of those who yap on about it as a vague...

That's a very good point. I suspect we've pushed him to come back from injury far too quickly on occasion, and like the honest pro that I believe he is, I think he's always tried to accommodate the request - possibly to his detriment. At least he's gone on good terms, and to a place where I...

That's a fair analysis, I think overall I'd say underwhelmed rather than disappointed though. I suppose there is cover of a kind on the flanks, in that at a push JDS, MVE, KKH, or Brau might be able to go into a more attacking role with the alternate full back behind. We'd still lose...

In the meantime then, Coventry City Council is busy handing over half-a-million pounds to Palantir. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/aug/30/coventry-city-council-signs-ai-deal-contract-palantir-technologies If you weren't aware, Palantir are involved in directly supporting the Israeli...

Could it be that they're only "fringe weirdos" and "angry boomers" because they're complaining about something being done in their area which they dislike, but you support?

Indeed, Champions League my arse. If we wanted to play against "FC Fishing Village" on an early season Tuesday night, we could just join "The Orkneys and Faroe Islands Intermediate League Two" and be done with it.

Bah. I don't come here for measured, carefully considered opinions. Off with you, forthwith! It's 8:30am and we still haven't signed an established England international. King out! 😁

Good shout! They've probably been hoovering up all of the other clubs' most promising academy minibuses for years now. They must have a car park full. 😁

We can't sign that lot, mate, we haven't got a big enough team bus.

Moving the ball when the ref turns his back is pretty much the oldest trick in the book. I can't believe that a ref at any level falls for that one, it's piss poor. But then it's also up to the players to make a bit of noise and let the ref know rather than just take it on the chin. Poor all...

Good move for him and us. I'd be delighted to see him have a decent season. Yes, he made mistakes, but I didn't see any lack of effort - and it's the most exposed position on any team, obviously. He's still fairly young for a keeper, good luck to the bloke as far as I'm concerned.

So sorry to hear this. Yes, me and him differed on plenty of things here, but I'm sure that face to face, maybe over a pint or two, we'd have got on just fine, because, well, Coventry City. Hope you're bearing up, @stupot07 - I know it's not something that anyone can ever really prepare for...

It's inevitable I guess, I'd have to admit my performance levels haven't been where I'd want them to be. Do you think she'd be ok with me training with one of her mates until I can sort out a permanent deal elsewhere?

I'm pretty sure the wife would be delighted if she could get an upgrade on me (which in fairness, wouldn't be too difficult). In fairness to BSB, I don't think he's suggesting that we shouldn't support Simms when he's on the pitch - most (though not all) can see that booing our own players...
