Edited for you - "2-0 win in front of 8,000 adoring fans making loads of noise or 2-0 loss in front of 7,997 drunk chavs fighting each other."

There's a recognised thing called Munchausen's Syndrome by proxy, where the subject aims to gain sympathy (or other advantages) by claiming illness of close family or friends. Sometimes even making them ill in order to achieve attention.

So if I've got this right, if the team does badly it's all the manager's fault but if the team does well it's not really anything to do with the manager.

Don't forget our home game in hand - could be a much different story this evening. Mansfield have done the league a favour today.

I liked Bobby Mac and Jimmy Holmes

Obviously in their eyes it would be better if they could own it, because they would have something to better attract new investment for their hedge fund business, but I'm not so sure that it is essential for them to own the stadium as long as they can run it profitably to show good returns to...

Can't see CCC ever selling the freehold - it cost them next to nothing and will always generate some income for them

Or, as we're playing guessing games - CCFC & CRFC get on well together and support each other, making money and attracting loads of true blue Cov supporters who go to follow both clubs. Meanwhile, Wasps continue to get deeper into the financial too-doos with no income from football to prop up...

Also, would be a perfect place to live for those supporters who have followed City for the past 50/55/60 years.

But .... if you apply the law of Supply and Demand, if you can regularly sell all of your seats in a smaller stadium, the likelihood is that the prices will be increased and the revenue goes up. If you have empty seats, you have to have cut prices and special deals just to attract customers...

Not sure it's as simple as that. They are more likely to be after a return on their investment fund, even if it takes longer, and if there is the prospect of a greater return following some added investment, that could well be attractive to them.

"Put this into perspective, last season the champions elect ragged US six one at home. Coventry will win this league, of that I have no doubt, but we matched them stroke for stroke. We've just seen the two teams who will finish top two tonight.

Wonder what our top 10 would look like I can imagine Dublin, Kyle, Bellamy, Villa featuring in there! ,

If it's purely down to money, which I'm pretty sure it's not - wouldn't Villa be paying all his wages anyway, if he wasn't playing for them through sickness, injury or lack of form? If so, anything (even if it is not a lot by PL standards) would be a reduction in costs for them.

I love the taste of Monster Munches, but I wish they would take out whatever they put in them that makes them stick to your teeth?

At the slaughter of Derby County in the last game at HR

Think it may be part of publicly emphasising SISU's case that CCC failed to negotiate the best deal it could for the taxpayers.

Apologies in advance if this has already been covered - there's an awful lot to read back through to check - but as a matter of interest, will it be the same judges who have granted the appeal who will actually sit to hear the appeal after October 1st? Surely it won't go back to Hickinbottom...

Les Cartwright capped for Wales

I always liked Terry Yorath. Always gave 100%. Hard as nails and a natural leader and uncompromising tackler - not many went past him, and those that did were addressed later in the game!
