    What's your gripe?

    En suites. It's not normal to want to sleep next to where you wash, shave, piss and shit mate. Unless you're disabled it's bloody lazy too. I would make an exception for a guest room. It's all about distance from bodily functions not proximity thank you.

    Standing

    It's an all seater stadium and you can't stand, sorry. I agree they should provide a standing area but they don't so sorry again. If you stand you force others to stand. Many of our fans are children, women, short people, semi-disabled people with bad backs etc who cannot stand for 90+ minutes...

    Blog post about CCFC from a Luton fan

    It has been pointed out many times that clubs with much smaller fan bases than ours have had occasional "success". I expect the club to lead not the fans. The club has a hundred times better support than it deserves.

    Blog post about CCFC from a Luton fan

    I have watched City since 1970. There is no doubt in my mind that the club are serious underachievers and the cup win in 87 blinded many of us to that fact. It was, in many ways, the high point from which it has been downhill ever since. Let's also say the unsayable ... The cup win was a FLUKE...

    Hopes to bring in one of two

    Placed in one, not born in one. I doubt a pregnant woman could be reported as climbing into an animal trough to give birth!

    Sad To See Them Go

    John Hartson. I knew we were doomed once he was sold and I have never believed a word the club have said since.

    Tory Monopoly

    Agree the funding was Tory-lite. They should have used direct taxation to fund it. Eg. They should have revalued council tax and added layers above the top payers now. In London people in around £6m houses pay same council tax as those in £60m houses. Land tax should also have been adopted.

    Tory Monopoly

    Minimum wage, sure start, investment in schools and the building of state of the art hospitals last time. What state do you think Walsgrave hospital would be in by now if we had had only Tories in power? A disgrace, is my bet. In 2010 the global economic crisis meant the Labour government bailed...

    Tory Monopoly

    I am voting Cooper Burnham Kendall Corbyn. Labour party has always left the country in a better state, reference public goods and infrastructure. Tories always eat away at everything ordinary and non property owning people have struggled for.

    Beard or no Beard?

    Have a full beard or clean shaven. The number of men who suit stubble is in single figures of a percentage. Blokes over 40 with stubble look like dirty old men, like Steptoe, for those who remember him. Stubble with a suit just looks so wrong, scruffy and slovenly. As it happens most women I...

    Buried or cremated?

    Cremated, then a proper funeral, none of this celebrating the life nonsense where people play flippant songs and people who barely knew you tell amusing anecdotes. Solemn, lots of weeping, committing the body in sure and certain hope stuff. Save all that looking back at the life and stories for...

    Coventry bookies favourite to be City of Culture 2021

    The heritage weekend in September is top drawer. Coventry was, of course, the capital of England several times in the past, check it out if you don't believe me. It is a jewel for anything heritage or history wise. The Godiva festival is also brilliant for a city of its size. Many people...

    Pre-season

    Am I concerned about PSF results and form? No. Am I concerned the team and squad are not coming together in time for a positive start? Yes Do I think a positive start is important? Yes Do I trust TM to get a team sorted in due course? Yes, but it may be too little too late for this season...
