    Things that annoy you

    Put Gyökeres into Google translate as Hungarian and it sounds “yurkeresh” Silent G is right.

    Things that annoy you

    Used to piss me off with George Boateng. When he played for us, seemed every commentator used to pronounce it as it was spelt. As soon as he was at villa or Middlesbrough, his name was pronounced correctly as Bwateng. Im a bit of a stickler for pronouncing names correctly as people get mine...

    Generally if it’s an ACL they hold the back of the thigh above the knee - something about not wanting the leg to bend?

    End of Hummel?

    What an absolute fucking shitshow. So presumably then when the players need new kit, which they will on a reasonably regular basis, what happens then? Presumably clubs like Cambridge and at Albans city who have Hummel kits don’t appear to use elite sports as their shops are still alright? And...

    Doug King Takeover

    Doesn’t feel right to me this. so out of the blue - who is this geezer? What the hell does he want with coventry city? Fair enough if the ‘local businessman’ was someone we’d heard of and knew was actually interested in football and/or a fan. The fact he also said about sisu did well bringing...

    Robins message to sisu

    I know we’re galaxies apart in terms of resources and revenues generated, but Man City don’t own their ground, the council do. The club operate it and own the lease. so the model can work, providing the agreements work for all parties in terms of money.

    Hypothetical changes to the CBS

    Plenty of stuff you could do if money were no object…. Replace the blue cladding on outside of ground with white. The dark blue tinted windows would still work well and hark back to our original colours. Finish the cbs arena branding on the roof. Cover any concrete bits inside the bowl with...

    Match Thread ⚽️ Coventry City vs Preston North End Match Thread - Wednesday 31st Aug

    I didn’t think it was that bad a performance. First half frustrating as it was in terms of giving the ball away we did go close a few times. second half hit woodwork, but didn’t carve out any clear cut chances that we should have scored. I think you could tell Preston have had more match time -...

    Things that annoy you

    They do it to provoke a reaction from security/police etc, show off their knowledge of the most ridiculous laws or subsections of legislation your average security guard/cop wouldn’t know, and thus the likes it gets. Best thing if you ever encounter one is to not engage at all.

    CBS issues

    I think this is a fair point to be made - if the surface was invested in properly prior to now it wouldn’t be too bad - don’t remember the pitch after the olympics being too bad and that had a lot of 90 minute football played on it in a short period, and concerts that year. some days the...

    New Kit !

    I’ve just ordered the black pre match top. Am gonna hold out and see what the third shirt looks like before I decide whether to get anything else. If the third is blackout then I’m all over it (more sports casual/fashion rather than a normal footy top, if that makes sense) and will wait til...

    The Penalty

    Thing that frustrates me about those type of penalties, is that the player has hit the ball out of play and is never going to get to it, yet because the keeper hits him, which he’s played for, it’s a foul. It’s not like he’s stopped a goal scoring opportunity. but, I guess foul is a foul no...

    BBC CWR

    I do think Bennett sounds pissed when he’s on. also, this is probably just me, but I don’t like it when he screams ‘yeah’ over Clive when Gyokeres scored… i much prefer Clive’s response to goals, especially last ditch ones, such as Tavares the other week. manc I think it’s unprofessional As...

    One of the greatest games?

    Personally I don’t think I’ve known an atmosphere at the final whistle like that game at the Ricoh. Or at least one that I can clearly remember. it could be that it’s where I’ve viewed it from - Preston JPT game I was in block 19. Notts county playoff semi in block 2, this game the family zone...

    the goals - Eakin

    I think Clive has been really good for a good few years to be honest and as he’s been here for so long is invested heavily in it - obviously knows Robins really well too now. And him and Oggy are a great team - lets Oggy speak.

    Man in the middle on the edge of D playing him on I’d say. Even then the defender next to him it’s tight. Linesman has got to be sure to give that and I don’t think he can be…..

    Away Kit??

    I think there are obviously different levels in terms of the ‘service’ that Hummel offer, and ultimately I think it’s down to cash. For example Bristol City and Everton have their kits but have a vast range of other Hummel training and lifestyle gear too. Southampton have the proper retro range...
