It's not a proper sandwich until you put crisps in it. Just eating them on their own doesn't count.

Being around that kind of age, I know a few lads who do it. Some, like me, are still playing five-a-side as well as walking football. You need to be over 50 for most of the games I've heard of, and I'm told the standard is pretty reasonable, and it can be fairly competitive without being daft...

What a mess. The deal to sell the Ricoh to Wasps doesn't look anywhere near as good for the City if it ends up costing the council more than they got for it. Just to be clear here, regardless of how I feel about what's gone on I don't want millions of pounds of Council money ending up in...

It's an interesting thought, but I doubt it could work this way. Maybe some sort of prior, out-of-court settlement might work along those lines prior to the case, but SISU are all about the money and nothing else I suspect. I am utterly pissed-off by the council for how they handled the sale...

Bless 'em, that is a tad embarassing. It's good to see that they could get a picture of that Grealish lad standing up though, he seemed to struggle with that over the summer. ;)

SBT, I know we often differ, but that is genuinely funny.

There's something there in the quote from the original article, about retaining all of the rights and history or something like that. I read that as meaning that they were claiming Coventry City Ladies as their own, despite now being Coventry United Ladies. I could well be wrong, but it struck...

This 'end of' rubbish has to stop. FACT.

Erm... you only joined this forum in Apr 2015, according to your bio. Were you talking about this to someone else, or as someone else, perhaps?

Much as I'd like to be drunk, I've ran out of White Lightning and the missus finished off the meths when I wasn't looking. Either way, I don't remember Fisher ever saying that he'd put his own money into the club. Other than SISU, the only person I can recall who actually is listed with shares...

I'm guessing the reason that they've swapped names is because CCFC can't (or won't) offer them any support. It's pretty sad that, from a community point-of-view, but I guess we are where we are financially. My only grumble is that the new Coventry United LFC seem to also want to retain the...

Yep, that's fair enough I'd say. In truth I'm entirely ambivalent about whether he signs or not. Great player for us when he's fit, but no use when he isn't and has a very poor record in that regard. I'd be a bit more impressed if he was training with us to get fit whilst it's all sorted out...

I don't think it's the German. TM said we'd missed out to another L1 club. Nick's returned to the fatherland, iirc.

The Wasps deal wasn't there to be done with the club. I can say this with complete confidence because the Council never made the same offer to the club, or indeed even started an open bidding process for the Ricoh. In fact the council's official, public line was that they would talk about...

Reda's wee is definitely going to be the wrong colour today, I reckon. Perhaps that's why he's stayed away. A bit worrying that two of the main targets that TM has outlined don't appear to be staying - but it's early days yet, and neither Reda nor the German were universally acclaimed in...

This would be great, especially if we could sign his brother James. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_O%27Brien_%28footballer%29 "Two Jim O'Briens.... there's only two Jim O'Briens" etc. I'll get me coat. I know a Brian O'Brien from County Clare too. What his parents were thinking I'm...

Bertie Groggins is sh*t, p*ss-poor scoring record, always injured. Can't believe we've signed him. Just thought I'd get there first. ;)

I went on what was (I think) the last pre-season to Ireland. Just after relegation, and just before Hartson left... From memory we played Bray, UCD and one or two others. Always a good place to visit, if this comes off I might try to wangle a trip over. :)

She went to the hotel room with one man, Clayton. He (not the girl) invited Evans to join in via a telephone message. Evans then invited his brother and another man to flim them. The girl was so drunk that she'd already fallen over in front of Evans, and had actually lost her handbag earlier...

I'm guessing the non-footballing reasons were that TM has a limited budget and thinks he can get better value than Barton. I wish the bloke well, personally. There's a decent player in there somewhere, and maybe a new club will bring that out. However I'd trust TM's judgement on this.
