Have to agree. Booked a weekend in Cheltenham for my missus' birthday a few years back and ventured into Gloucester for the day. Got speaking to a local smack head, as you do, and even he asked me what the fuck I was doing there!!! The town centre was deserted and run down. Nice cathedral...

You seem to be missing the whole point that Beckham should only get picked on merit and not what he does outside of football. Pearce didn't think he was what was needed for his squad so left him out. Simple.

You honestly believe that no-one cares whether we win it or not? I want every British athlete to win a gold medal in everything they compete in. But hey that's just me.

Just because we've got a small squad should have absolutely no bearing on a players punishment.

Yeah just caught Midlands today and no way could it have gone ahead. Great shame.

As John Barnes (I think) said if you're basing it on the above then Seb Coe should be running the 800 metres. If you put Stuart Pearce in charge then you have to expect him to take it serious and want to win. Fair play to him if he thinks Beckham doesn't fit into his side and he needs other...

All to the Napton Festival next week then and the Real Stone Roses Friday and Toploader Saturday.

Mario 1st goalscorer and BTTS certainly made it a good game for me to watch. :claping hands:

Off the top of my head...... The Cathedrals, various nice churches, the Transport Museum, Herbert Art Gallery, Midland Air Museum, the place by the Cathedral that Time Team dug up, Spon Street, Lady Godiva, Peeping Tom and Sir Frank Whittle statues, Memorial Park, The Godiva Festival, Allesley...

My attempt at facetiousness failed. Sorry, bored.

There is no right or wrong answer it is all about opinions and I respect yours. However, I just feel that Cov isn't a "shithole" as was originally put and actually has a lot of positives that some people who live here either take for granted or completely ignore. Cov, for me, has bottomed...

Picked Richards as he wanted extra defensive cover supposedly. Would have loved to see Beckham there personally but Pearce hasn't bowed to public pressure and will pick a squad he thinks will win it so fair play to him.

Why did the fire engines keep going there then?

I didn't know you were Italian Otis?

Absolute bollocks and that's just the cynical outlook a lot of people have who live in this City. I've travelled a good bit and believe me Cov is no-where near the worst place to live either in the UK or abroad. In fact as opposed to what Bobby F said I found that travelling opened my eyes to...

Don't know if it was hailstones as I was inside but it just absolutely lashed it down for a good couple of minutes and then just stopped again. Randomly I'd just text my mate to see if he was playing football in the rain later and he said where he is he's grafting in what feels like 90 degree...

As you say though you were brought up in the Aldermoor so let's be honest even a Somalian slum is going to be a step up from there.

A certain Coventry Ex-Boxing promoter must be wondering the same thing.....

I was in the Stade de Luz that night. Great game, great night. Got a quality picture of Rooney through on goal, the keepers dived one way and the ball has gone the other and is just about to hit the net. Can't believe that was 8 years ago.

Bradley comes across as a top fella and supposedly was a half decent footballer in his day. Oh and I'm a bit of a Chase geek. Love it. :pointlaugh:
