    Every doorway has a tramp. Every wall, signpost, and even some vehicles has graffiti. Ridiculously expensive. Litter everywhere. As for the rest of Italy, Pisa's a bit of a dive. Trieste is a bit boring. Venice, well I'd rather spend time on the Coventry Canal. Turin's nice and worth a visit...

    What ever gave you that idea? Can not underestimate how much of a dive the place it is. Only place I've been to that's worse is Marseille. Tbf to the San Siro though you do get taken back by the size of it. Only ground I've been to that seems bigger is Croke Park. Wembley feels small in...

    Has many problems. The city it's in. The area of the city it's in. The city it's in. Depressing place to be. The city it's in. Transport links. The city it's in. Seats are crap. The city it's in. The main issue though like you said it's crumbling and the minimum requirement I expect from a...

    Best I've been to in this country is between Goodison, the Boleyn, the Cottage and Hillsborough. Worst being Whaddon Road or the Diva at Chester. Best abroad is either the Donbass (very sad how it is now) or Borrusia Park at Monchengladback. Worst by a long way is the San Siro.

    Sky Blues in the community

    They do very good work. However if you live near Rugby, Warwick, Redditch or Daventry mine are cheaper (and better obviously) :-)

    Definitely Portugese. One of three Icelandics. Incidentally it's impressive how good they are at sport at international level considering our City has a population greater than their entire country.

    World Cup 2018

    Booking.com for hotels and Skyscanner for flights which should go on sale around a year before the game. The only way to apply for tickets for away games or the England section at tournaments is to join the ESTC. If you do want to go in the England end I would advise you to sign up to the...

    Suffo must be the only Olympic Gold medalist City have had. Won the Frence double. Was once at Barcelona. Played up front with Samuel Eto'o. Got sent off in the World Cup for sticking one on Michael Ballack. Impressive but his career highlight was clearly playing for me pre season at...

    Webster Still About

    Got no issue if he does sign again on lower end wages. Adequate and committed squad player.

    World Cup 2018

    Be nice to go to Ljubljana again. Malta in June hopefully. Can only hope the Lithuanian FA see sense this time with which ground they use. Would even accept paying twice the price for it to be elsewhere. Top qualifies and second is POs. Another relatively easy group for us. Nice one for ROI...

    Isn't Phillips a dual national? Either way he's classed as Welsh by FIFA so that's how we should judge it. Same situation with Hargreaves.

    Shortland Horne?

    I'm sure Dave Phillips is German with Welsh parents.

    Jim Brown has said it is France with 15. He did say there was only 4 Jamaicans though which isn't right.

    JGW! "Only joined us so his kids could learn English for free". I seem to remember he became the favourite for the Swansea job but Laudrup took over instead. Currently managing in Africa.

    Coventry City winger Danny Swanson out to impress his Hibs hero boss

    Miller played in 13 games and scored 2. Not great until you look at minutes on the pitch. 5-10 mins sometimes, 15-20 most of the time. Total playing time was 297 minutes. Better ratio than Samuel! Not for one minute suggesting he's as good as DS but still feel he could've scored far more with a...

    2nd or Playoff Winners?

    Impressive to look at and not a bad seat in the ground but I'm starting to hate the place tbh! Would still rather go up in the play offs though.

    A tweet from Jim Brown regarding us signing our first Portuguese player (Carlita excluded as he didn't play a 1st team game) has got me thinking. If you take out England, Wales, ROI, Northern Ireland and Scotland which country have we had the most players from? Belgium, Holland and France...
