    Why I'd be sad

    According to a West Brom ST holder, the usually talkative Mowbray went silent when rumours about Celtic did the rounds. Is he being silent now?

    What are your favourite City games?

    The Huckerby one was a Tuesday evening iirc..? It was a few years ago, mind! Edit: Google says it was a Sunday. My memory is obviously shit. Down with night games, then.

    Raw Meat

    Didn't Steve Cotterill turn us down once? For that reason alone I'm out (plus he has a very punchable face). I'd go for Nigel Adkins, if only because he seems like a good fit for a club of our size - similar size to Southampton, similar youth set-up (although less successful).

    What are your favourite City games?

    The 4-3 defeat to Middlesboro, with Speedie playing like the magician he was. Hat-trick of headers iirc. Middlesboro had John Byrne score a hat-trick that day, too. Micky Quinn's debut, when he scored 2 against Man City and I spent far too long giving Keith Curle dog's abuse. And of course...

    Mowbrey and Venus

    There's a place called Mowbray Gardens in or near Rotherham. Maybe it's a simple mix up..?

    Tell me why he should keep his job?

    I think we should give the guy a break. Are we disappointed with the way the season has gone? Of course. Was the start of the season better than most of us expected? Certainly. Take a moment to cast your minds back to last season. To the continual dross of Pressley, with football that was all...

    Stephen Hunt & other mysteries

    This is the first season in an age that I've been able to say to people that I'm a Coventry City fan and have conversations about how good we are / have been as opposed to whether we'll be in League 2 next year. Sure, the wheels have fallen off, but it's the best few months I've had as a fan in...

    Players who signed but never played a game

    According to Wiki we paid £2m for Gioacchini. Oddly, I looked him up on there last night.

    Blame Jimmy for that!

    Worst CCFC Team - Strikers

    For failing to live up to Champ Manager legend status, Nii Lamptey. For being a waste of money for all but his last contracted year, Julian Joachim. For being a bucket of excrement, Eddie Johnson.

    It's amazing really.....

    The EPL is a treasure trove nowadays. Multi-millions in the coffers even for abject failure. That's the reason certain people want a football club (along with those who are rich enough to have one as a plaything or those that have a 'look at me' complex). Most of us know that running a club...

    Bury match thread

    Well, you got the 35 yarder right!

    madders gone

    Sheesh, we haven't sold the messiah. We've sold a kid - talented, but fragile - who has made a dozen first team appearances. He's hardly Maradona or Messi . He's not even a mainstay of the team. Maybe - just maybe - the money we get gives us a chance to stay in the Championship if we happen to...

    Official January transfer window for CCFC

    Spurs snapping up the youngsters is a repeat of their plan from 10 years ago when they signed players like Dawson and Davenport and a dozen others. That didn't work out so well, iirc. But when players like Alli pop up I guess it makes people think. For too long the foreign legion have been...

    The Tinkerman

    Tinkering hasn't done us much harm so far. Plus he gets paid to put out a winning team, so he plays the people he thinks will achieve that. I'm all for it tbh. After all, the opposition can't plan on how to defend when they don't know who will be tearing down at them!

    Walsall (Home) Match Thread

    We could make half a team from the players yet to make a debut! Lorenzon, Ramage, Rose, Hunt (any others?). Exciting timez!* Used a z to prove I'm still down wid da kidz, innit.

    Elson hooi in talks?

    Apparently Hooi is Russian slang for penis.

    So, it now looks like

    I think TM knows the squad needs freshening up. Like you say, every team has a wobble. We're having ours and are still picking up points which can't be bad! If we don't go up - heck, if we miss out on the playoffs - then this season has still been one of the best results-wise since the late 80s...

    Just a thought...next striker

    TM would go for someone else young and hungry. Remember he said at the end of last season about getting someone from another team's U21's to be a 20-a-season striker. He did that the first time round, that's for sure!

    City rejects??

    I'd have Leon Clarke back. Better option than Tudgay on the bench. His supposed attitude might be a problem though!
