    Embarrassing

    I don't think anyone is objecting to hanging flags off official buildings, or indeed people hanging them out of their windows, or on flagpoles on their own property. Or tattooed on their forehead if they so wish. However, no one has any business hanging them off lampposts or painting...

    Stadium update

    I wouldn't dispute it's what most think of as the club's first home, but actually they were at the Butts well before that. Anyway, I don't think the rugby club desperately need to move to the CBS, The Butts is a good fit and there are big plans afoot for redevelopment. Maybe if they make it...

    Fever Dream

    So I work a little bit with data and modelling (I'm more your plus size model, unfortunately), and I've got to say that I'm not convinced xG is particularly accurate. Does xG account for things like player ability, surely a key predictive variable, or is it strictly based on pitch location and...

    Transfer Rumour MVE to Wolfsburg

    Very sorry to see him go, he's been brilliant for us. I'd really like to see two outstanding players in the squad for every position on the pitch, but maybe that's a bit unlikely for us at the moment. KKH looks a good player too, but I worry what we'll do at RB if he gets injured... Anyway...

    Ellis simms

    He's got some of the attributes, but I'm not sure about his defensive positioning, which in fairness takes time and experience to learn, and his aggression, which perhaps isn't an obvious trait...

    Thomas Asante

    Perhaps technically not the best, but his appetite for the game and his work rate is epic. He's always right on it, start to finish - I get why FL keeps picking him.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Queens Park Rangers Match Thread - Saturday 23rd Aug

    This is the first version of The Matrix, right? The one that was too happy and no one believed it, so they had to reboot it. What a day. And it's only half time!

    Stadium update

    You're a better man than me, mate, always will be. I wouldn't ever set out to hurt anyone, but if I saw Maton (for example), crossing the road, I ain't braking. 😁

    Maton. Biggest gobshite on the planet. Anyway, fuck him, we won, they went bust. Cry salt tears you useless slimy traitorous c**t.

    Stadium update

    I'd just like to thank all of those who made this possible. SISU, Coventry City Council, ACL, Wasps, without your endless incompetence, chicanery, back door deals, and in some cases, downright corruption, we'd probably not have ended up here. Your willingness to throw vast amounts of money...

    Stadium update

    Incredible news. To be honest, I didn't think I'd see the stadium in the club's hands in my lifetime, so this is an absolutely staggering move by King. If he does nothing else at the club, he'll always be remembered and respected for this. Fantastic.

    Happy Birthday

    I think it was about confidence more than anger. When the fans started to get behind him (and well I remember why they didn't sometimes!), and he started to believe in himself, he looked so much better in every aspect of his game. No wish to start a row, but it's something similar with Simms...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    I could answer that for you, Pete, but given it relates to his character, I would have to use an indecorous comment. 😄

    Embarrassing

    If they fail to get re-elected it will be because they've failed to make any genuine change to the country despite having a massive majority in parliament. Of course most of the media is unfriendly, it is for every Labour government - but chopping right (almost instinctively) on so many major...

    Embarrassing

    Forgive me, but I seriously doubt that you were ever a copper. Not hard to find out though. You don't need to out yourself, but can you name what division you were in, and the rank and name of one of the custody officers who were there at the same time? You did at some point arrest at least...

    Would you swap…?

    Of course the aim is always promotion, but I kind of like where we are too. The Championship is a properly competitive division, every game is a challenge, hopefully we're regularly near the top of the pile, and there's no VAR. Lots to like there, imho.

    Embarrassing

    I'm happy to discuss this reasonably. How would you manage on £49 per week, if you had to feed yourself? Would it be the kind of lifestyle that would encourage you to risk your life and leave your friends and family thousands of miles behind? I think we both know the answer to that. Most...

    Embarrassing

    It would clearly upset you, wouldn't it, so that's your argument shot down in flames pretty quickly. It perhaps wouldn't upset as many people though, in fairness, because showing a Palestinian flag or supporting Zara Sultana isn't quite the same as backing a far right racist.

    Embarrassing

    The sticker is racist, because it openly supports Rupert Lowe, who is a racist. He espouses views that are quite clearly racist. Not political, racist, and not particularly well hidden (see link below). This stuff he shouts about goes a long, long way beyond a polite discussion on immigration...

    Embarrassing

    What gives you the idea that the people coming here now don't want to work? Can you tell me exactly how much asylum seekers get in benefit? When you've looked it up, ask yourself if you'd travel thousands of miles from your home and risk your life for it. There's undoubtedly a reasonable...
