Obviously Betamax mate, VHS is never going to catch on. It's like those idiots who bought CDs instead of minidisc players. Mugs.

And keepers without gloves! Double hard.

That is absolutely brilliant, many thanks. Given that training in those days consisted of a quick kickabout and then three hours in the bookies it's amazing how fit those players were. That pitch must have been completely knackering... If you want to see one of the things that's changed...

New V70? If it doesn't come with of these, I'm not interested...

I know exactly what you mean. I always tape MoTD, but I hardly ever watch it now. Incidentally, did you dream you ate a giant marshmallow?

Hold up a mo, if you don't like football what on earth are you doing following Coventry Cit.... ah, actually, now I come to think about it... :)

Needs to be grey, or flat blue if one of the really, really old square ones. With a dog guard and a Labrador in the back, and a holder for your hat. That's what proper Volvos look like. :)

If you're driving a Volvo Estate then the odds are that you're approaching the age when the next step in life is a hearse. :)

Just run in at 240k mate, I bet that was because you were caning it every time you borrowed it! :)

You can take a horse to water, but a pencil has to be lead.

C'mon mate, I know it's fun to wind up Italia :) but you're not really telling me that there's an equivalence between how refs are treated by players in rugby and in football on the back of that bit of research? Again, genuine question, name another sport where officials are expected to...

You could be right mate, it's not an unfair point, but even watching from the stands these days it seems like every decision is met with some kind of obvious dissent, and any big decision results in a crowd scene around the ref. And some of the diving these days just seems flat out ridiculous...

I know where you're coming from, but in reality rugby's a pretty broad church. There are plenty of working class players mixing it up out there too. I think the difference is in the culture of the game and what's accepted and expected. Disregarding rugby for a moment, name another sport where...

I agree football's certainly gone soft in terms of the wimping around, faking injuries and diving etc.. However the behaviour towards refs and linesmen is worse now than I can ever remember it. I'd be embarassed if my four-year old threw tantrums like players (and some managers) do nowadays...

No pension for me, sadly, I was merely a temp/contractor at Rover, Jaguar, and then Jaguar Land Rover. Back in the day I thought everyone in Coventry worked for one of those, or if you were unskilled, Chrysler/Talbot/Peugeot. :) I know people who worked at the same desk for four or possibly...

It's a shame your thought processes aren't as clear as your conscience. Clearly the fact that CCFC will never own the Ricoh has an absolutely massive impact on the club. With regard to CRFC they're doing pretty well and looking very good for promotion this year. I wonder how much better they...

With all due respect HH (i.e. not wanting to get laid out) ;) imho whilst they probably were underrated, there's no way a Frontera would be as good off-road as a Land Rover product of any given era. I suspect either a difference in tyres or in driver ability/confidence, possibly both! I used...

Nomadic my arse. Surely we've done all this before!

I don't think it matters what SISU say in the accounts, at least as far as the mediation process goes. You could flip this around and actually see it as good news. Any side who are seen by the judge as not doing their best to work towards some kind of solution, are likely to get short shrift...

Argh... CWR... did he score???
