    Clinton Morrison - Lazy or Not?

    Absolutely not lazy- Clint was easily one of the more passionate players, fighting for the cause from the first whistle to the last. I actually wish we hadn't let him go, Sheff Wed have a great striker!

    All gone abit quiet.....

    To be fair, much of the 'speculation' about Phillips, etc, comes from a certain poster on a certain forum, and is most likely bullshit. Anyway, I do prefer the stealth approach, as it means that we're not just inviting other clubs to come in with higher bids and trump us for a player that we...

    Coventry vs West Brom

    Presumably, they were in the Championship at that point? Interesting...

    Your team to face Portsmouth?

    (Subject to injuries) Westwood Cranie Wood McPake O'Halloran Bell Clingan Carsley Baker McSheffrey Eastwood I know it's not an interesting, radical formation, but Cov did play best when in that formation last season. I'd give O'Halloran a run out, to see if he can cope with the likes of...

    Lukas Jutkiewicz signs.

    I tried to post a long thought earlier, but was denied the post...oh well. Anyway, I'm not entirely sure why Everton would have sold him if they weren't willing to loan him out...something about a fool and his money but I hope that's not the case. Same with O'Donovan- I've been an avid Cov...

    Peter Reid question

    One quote, right from when we appointed him, says it all: [sic] "It's like an art gallery replacing a work by Picasso with one painted by Rolf Harris."

    Blackpool Let 5 Go...

    So basically we need an entirely new team ;) I was reading a BBC blog on the League Play-Off final which noted that Swindon striker Billy Paynter's now out of contract- anyone think he'd be worth grabbing?

    Dark horses for the WC

    Hmm, I'm sure I've heard that somewhere before, don't German fans usually sing it? :p I've got a few teams I'm keeping my eyes on: 1. If the Ivory Coast can get decent results against Brazil and Portugal, then I imagine they're gonna go quite far in the tournament, possibly quarters. 2. As...

    Rubbish

    Today's game was just the icing on the cake, in terms of performances at home. We've been dross this last month, I honestly thought it couldn't get any worse...well, I was wrong! Terrible today, thank god the season's over! Literally, there's been very little to celebrate, and if next season's...

    Coventry 0-1 Derby (Post-match discussion)

    Basically at the final whistle, Coventry players surrounded the ref and his linesmen, disputing the reasons for Hussey's goal being chalked off. Security guys came out to separate the two teams and somehow, Robbie Savage snook out, shirtless, and he got in Clint's face after that. Unedifying end...

    Coventry 0-1 Derby (Post-match discussion)

    Another very disappointing game. Like Cookie, I'm in Block 15, so couldn't actually tell whether the decisions made by the ref/linesmen were correct or not, but they just contributed to a very frustrating afternoon for City. In all honesty, after the first 15 mins, we didn't look like...

    Match report - Sheffield Wednesday [post-match discussion]

    Yeah, as others have said, both at the game and on here, the first half was diabolical...then we had the misfortune to concede the opening goal...luckily Woody was in the right place at the right time tho... It felt like 'Boo Richard Wood Day' with all those Wednesday fans! :p On the subject...

    Bristol City

    It was more of a push-down seat (which people behind me kept treading on when they wanted to get out of the stand quicker), but I guess it had a back. I was right in the middle of the stand, above the rows on the ground...it was lucky, cos the away section looked like it was in some kind of...

    Bristol City

    I actually went to today's game (sitting in the Dolman Stand, home territory :o), thanks to a friend of mine. First half, we were pretty quiet- Bristol had some decent chances... They got punished early in the second half having failed to clear a Clingan strike- Bell's goal was awesome! Had...

    barnett extends loan!

    Haven't we still got Elliott Ward as well? I guess Leon will serve well as back-up to Wood and McPake, mind you...I just personally wouldn't choose ahead of those two, cos he makes slightly too many mistakes than strictly necessary...

    Best to Boro

    Kevin Kyle? :p Can't say I'm surprised that Best's gone now, but it's ludicrous that we haven't managed to get a replacement striker in, loan, free, fee, whatever...we can't get by on Morrison and Eastwood alone (Madine isn't up to the job, and Jeffers is still a youth player- it would be...

    Blackpool!

    I saw the Gunnar incident from Block 15- he took a fair whack across the face from Omerod, in what appeared unprovoked as the corner was about to be taken; I guess there had been an amount of jostling before, but I think the Tangerine dude took it way too far... Other than that, I was very...

    Van Aanholt

    Yeah, it's disappointing that he's just gone out to a bigger Championship team (where, to be fair, he might possibly not get a proper game until the very late stages of the season) but I mean, we are adequately covered at Left Back (Hussey, Hall, and Cranie- for some reason...), so it's not like...

    Coleman's Second Half Tatics...

    Very pissed off about this... We played really well in the first half- what a fantastic goal from Leon! But it all went pear-shaped... Clingan's injury killed our momentum and also completely messed our tactical approach. As in every other City game I've seen at the Ricoh when we've been in...
