Yes, some of the villages around Stoke are lovely. Recently I was in Ipstones, a very nice location.

What has Staffordshire done to upset you?

I thnk the OP saw the name James and panicked

I assume you mean Gay Meadow.

13 games later, still only lost 3, goal difference of +18 only bettered by Rotherham, Oxford, and Peterborough.

If we ever get to the Premiership in the future and survive for 2 seasons and in the third, finish above the likes of Man U, Arsenal, Man City, Tottenham, West Ham, I'm sure that would be classed as a success. I know it would be more difficult today but it was a pretty decent feat even in those...

Anyone when compared to Allison would seem dull. I liked Cantwell and remember some really good football with him in charge

I seem to remember Malcolm Allison being offered the manager's job about that time, but he blabbed about it and we withdrew the offer, or something like that.

In that case one of the most positive turning points has to be getting Mark Robins as manager

I hope I don't look like that, besides I was born in 1940 so he copied my name

Different Steve Cooper

Strange how your avatar is a picture of you in a Coventry shirt

I only remember Bellamy having one decent game for us, can't remember who we were playing but we won 1-0 and Bellamy got the goal. Newcastle scouts were in the stands and had come to watch him IIRC.

This season there were 2 teams I thought we would finish above at the start of the season, they were Barnsley and QPR. The difference between us and Barnsley I think was only 1 or 2 players, and we took 4 points from them. QPR looked dreadful when we beat them earlier in the season and I thought...

If we could start the new season with the same team we ended with plus a couple of class signings we wouldn't be that far off challenging for playoffs IMO. We will be unlikely to get all our loan players back, but you never know, and we could find similar. We need to sign a decent keeper and...
