    Stubs

    That's what we thought in 87. We did the maths and figured thousands would be left for sale to those with semi + quarter + 4 home stubs but thousands of tickets went to people before that so genuine fans like myself and 3 others who went to nearly every home+ a few away, missed out. It was one...

    WEMBERLEY!!!!!!

    I think we should all thank U2. In the Spring of 87 they released the very fine album, The Joshua Tree. This year they have announced 'The Joshua Tree 30 year anniversary tour'. It's our lucky charm. I also have tickets to their show at Twickenham.

    Sky Coverage

    They uttered the usual cliches that footballers and managers do at these times. I thought Thomas sounded genuinely chuffed but still level headed. Slade seemed chilled about it all but said he was pleased for the fans and said the fans helped get the team off to a good start.

    Do you think conquered states would have been allowed to have a free and fair referendum to leave the thousand years reich?

    I am not going and you can't make me .............. despite having a season ticket. I might go to Wembley but I think we have very little chance of getting there. Next season no season ticket for me despite having one since 1974, except for 3 seasons in late 80s (when I got married and was...

    Beware. Speculation thread.

    Is it possible that the players we have kept are in fact already "sold"? That agreements are in place for the summer? These players are now unsettled and that is why they are nowhere near the first team this week? Stevenson, Harries, Willis (suspended I know so cannot be sure) even Lameiras? If...

    Trialist with "Big Reputation"

    Transfer rumours in or out

    I, for one, would rather have the last turkey in the shop than go hungry. Looks like hungry it is, again then.

    News in the Cov Tel tomorrow morning

    The article will be a full expose of Wee GS waking up on 31st January 1998 after a horrible dream of 19 years of sh!te. Noel Whelan emerges from the shower and they both have a good laugh about it before enjoying a 5-1 win away at Bolton with Noel, Hucks 2 and Dion 2 rounding off a great night...

    Fans need to look in the mirror

    I know fans of many different clubs and they all admit they would have given up years ago and often ask me if I'm still bothering to go up the Ricoh and they laugh and shake head when I say yes. The club hasn't done anything to deserve the supporters they have in at least 30 years. We are just mugs.

    Should CCFC ever move from the Ricoh

    Yes. When our glorious leaders/owners take us back to the Premier league we will need a bigger stadium. It will need a 50,000 capacity.

    Slade eager to bolster attacking options

    I expect one striker in addition to loan, Vernam Plus one more midfielder, in addition to trialist, Samba. So definitely trying to get 3/4 more in. Vernam is an add on not the marquee signing Slade is after. Probably a beast of a centre forward.

    ins outs

    We have 4 loans left plus Slade has talked about freebies. I will be surprised if there aren't another 4 or 5 at least to come in. 2 strikers, 2 defenders, 1 midfield minimum, is what I expect.

    Religious intolerance

    For those who want a bit of intellectual rigour in their philosophy of religion I refer you to 1) The cosmological argument of Thomas Aquinas 2) The design argument of William Paley 3) The ontological argument of St. Anselm. All interesting. Wikipedia has very fine articles on these topics...
