    Isn't this Mustapha from GMK? Anyway it doesn't matter abt Best, he's just twittered that Riquelme is coming in

    George Thomas

    There now! Good take down and lob. Goals conceded were shocking and also par for the course

    Leon Best

    Genuinely one of the most enigmatic players I've ever known at this club. Can think of 4-5 appearances that were absolutely brilliant. In fact I'd say the very best centre-forward displays I've seen by anyone in a Cov shirt since Cyrille Regis (that game against Barnsley, the Cup win at...

    Devante Cole

    Pretty certain he played against us twice last season and didn't look anything special.

    El Capaitano

    Captaincy on the pitch is meaningless in football. Do people honestly believe that a mild and meek centre half is going to transform character and start organising the defence around him just because he's got an armband? Or conversely that the taking the captaincy off such a player (John Terry...

    Can anyone lend me Cov top/hat/scarf for Paddy Power advert audition?

    hearts and bones 2 seasons on BBC one. Cast included Damian Lewis and Hugo Speer. Gratitious mentions of Magnus Hedman's jockstrap. As for the wardrobe, I think Amanda Holden walked off with most of it, a particular scene of her sleeping in a City shirt (relegation season) seemed popular on the...

    Reda not at training today

    He came in last year as club captain , and had that (and concomitant bonus) taken off him after his stupid sending off at Scunthorpe and subsequent injury issues. During an absence from the first XI he briefed the press that the (then) manager had a problem with the colour of his urine - thus...

    Dominic Samuel

    This was exactly the blueprint that saw us sign McQuoid, our hopes rely on him not being good enough for his parent club and yet not being pissed off if he's sent to us as punishment.

    Ched Evans

    Any news on Marlon King's appeal? I seem to recall that was important to many when he signed for us

    wasn't Jorgensen reclassified as Faroese?

    'Staying Up' by R.A. Gekoski

    it's a great read but Gekowski clearly thought that it would be a fascinating account of a club on the brink of relegation year after year. All good, but he was granted unprecedented access to the club in the the most sucessful season since the cup win. The failure to recast the book to reflect...

    villa after maddison?

    Quite although we shd remember that Callum Wilson did not have a choice. It was touch and go whether Pressley let go either him or Cody MacDonald, and the manager took a gamble on Wilson (the fact that he was a cheaper option might have been significant). During that breakthrough season where he...

    villa after maddison?

    Even in that was true - and I simply don't share your memory - we were in the top flight. Now we are in the third division. The parallels you should look at are Wlcott and Oxlade-Chamberlain who played 20-odd and 30-odd games respectively before leaving Southampton

    villa after maddison?

    Wallace sold to Forest for a million, Babb to Liverpool for £3m, Gillespie to Liverpool, Paddon to Norwich, Mortimer to Vile, Holmes to Spurs, Thomas to Spurs, Thompson to WBA, Blockley to Arsenal, Sealey left for Luton. The fact is NONE of these players you mention stayed with the club when...

    villa after maddison?

    But can you honestly point to a single player who has benefitted from staying with us for a season or two when they had the chance to move?
