    Of course it is, spot on. While the media and social media obsesses about G, then the plebs will soon forget about the shit state of our country, failing NHS, highest energy prices in Europe, rising Interest rates, food prices and inflation. The Tories will be loving this.

    Exactly, Tony. It is the climate the Tories are creating, a classic 'them' and 'us' situation....'they come in their boats...which means you won't be able to get a doctors appointment....won't get housing....', etc. The language used by Braverman such as "invasion" is lapped up by...

    Apart from the frankly embarrassing "Oh, Coventry is wonderful", surely?

    Songs We No Longer Sing

    Funnily enough I was watching the Inverness- Killie game last night and the home fans sung a lot of the same songs as we do, changed to suit though, of course.

    Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na Blues! The old King song. Sang that for a while mid 80s.

    What Was Your…

    Remember an away match Mid 80s. Sure it was Easter Monday. We went to Ipswich away. On the way we stopped at a Little Chef (younger readers should Google it). There were some well-dressed blokes a couple of tables away and it turns out they were directors - they had CCFC blazers on, no idea...

    Ah apologies. Maybe, I always thought it was the Blues match. Well, it was MY first ever Sunday game.

    What Was Your…

    Yeah, I can remember some awful games. Ones that stick in the mind: - the 5-1 defeat at Filbert Street, Christmas 83 or 84. Only highlight was Bobby Gould running on the pitch for some reason. -Full Members cup game at Stoke City, around 85/86. Only 16 of us in the away end. Can't remember...

    You might be right. I've always thought it was the 4-4 Blues match. Memory could be playing tricks on me, I suppose.

    That was a brilliant game. The only match my late Mom ever went to. Such a beautiful day too. One of those days when everything was perfect.

    The classic, "Kill! Kill! Jimmy Hill!" during one of his less popular phases. Around the time of the Washington Diplomats debacle.

    Remember One Man Went To Mow being sung a lot in the mid 80s, not sure why. Also, "can you hear the <team name> sing? No, no. Can you hear the <team name> sing? I can't hear a fucking thing, woah woah woah" Any others?

    The Orange Ball

    Can remember a few times in the snow and/or fog the crowd singing, "we want an orange ball, orange ball, orange ball..." Sadly missed chant that.

    What Was Your…

    Our first ever Sunday game vs Blues at HR. What a game that was. Remember playing Chelsea at HR stood on the Kop, pissing down with rain. Stands out as it was the day the Grand National was called off. Was it the IRA? Can't remember.

    What Was Your…

    My first game was October 1972 on my 7th birthday, but the first game I actually remember is the infamous 2-2 draw vs Bristol City. Another match that sticks in the memory is the 7-1 defeat at WBA, my fist ever away game. I vividly remember the Cup Semi Final vs Leeds at Hillsborough. Was...
