    Relocating to Coventry - advice welcome!

    Yeah, Allesley Green, thanks. Very nice there. Only about 3 miles from the city centre.

    Relocating to Coventry - advice welcome!

    And don't come in and live in my road. ;) My side is nice, but the other side of the road is the other side of the tracks. Owned our side, council housing the opposite side. One family got evicted last week. Finally! After 5 years of police cars and ambulances and fire engines and noise and...

    The Butts

    Yeah. I don't hate Wasps, but I do hate them being here. I don't hate Sisu, but do hate them for taking us to Northampton and I don't hate the council. Wish they hadn't sold to Wasps, but do understand why they did.

    It's off Parkhill Drive. If anyone knows what is called it would be a big help. Next door to Allesley Park. You come to the A45 roundabout and instead of going left to London or the right to Birmingham, it is a turning just before the Birmingham A45 turn and you go up Parkhill Drive and there...

    Relocating to Coventry - advice welcome!

    Without peeing on anyone's chips and this is generalisation, I would say maybe avoid Wood End, Willenhall, Stoke Aldermoor, Canley and some parts of Wyken (all actually in Coventry). A lot of council housing there and more impoverished. Meriden is very nice. Not sure exactly how far away that...

    Relocating to Coventry - advice welcome!

    Westwood Heath is worth looking at. Kenilworth, Earlsdon, which is in Coventry, very close to the city centre and is quite vibrant. Styvelchale, again in Coventry is a more affluent area too . Pronounced Stychall. Then there are some little nice bits, some of Allesley Village, Coundon. I'm...

    Thing is as well, shmmeee, there are so many on here only looking at the whole thing from a Coventry City supporter point of view, rather than from the point of view of the local council bing responsible for the whole city and not just a small minority of the populace.

    I just think he lacks the attributes myself. I don't believe it is just a confidence thing. I think he is a player that needs to be carried at times. Shame, but I think his future lies elsewhere.

    I am in the get rid camp I'm afraid. Some skill for sure, but shrinks out of games, knocked off the ball too easily, dispossessed too easily and gives the ball away all too often. Bench at best for me at the moment. I remember Kevin Thornton and Lee Fowler being the most skilful players at...

    Anyone watched The Path? Aaron Paul (Jesse from Breaking Bad) as a member of a religious cult who starts to have doubts about his belief. Pretty good. Quite tense and dark and very well performed. Also stars Michelle Monaghan. 10 episodes on Netflix and a second series due out this year.

    Religious intolerance

    Famine in Africa could be sorted out. Unfortunately though we have people like Roman Abramovich being able to buy £1.5b boats. Sometimes I think the the world has gone mad.

    Surely Moorish dancing is just someone enjoying dancing so much they just can't stop.

    I don't know if this will effect things or not, but Swansea play away against Liverpool in the Premier on Saturday 21st January. The following Saturday they have no game at all as it is the FA Cup, having been knocked out in the last round. Just wondered if this might change Swansea's approach...
