Lots and lots of reasons; cultural, geographical and historical. Where shall I start? With a joke. Northern Italians would say there are three areas of Italy; The North where you find Turin and Milan, then the Midlands, with Bologna and Firenze, and then there's Southern Italy with Rome. After...

Racism in Italy was a real eye-opener for me. Makes what goes on here seem like play school. Whenever I brought it up there'd be widespread reluctance to talk about it, most are in denial. It was inevitable that Balotelli would end up back in the uk.

About being in Wycombe ......and dying? Some are talking about this as a salvation and guaranteeing survival. Moreover, Rugger, unlike football, is not endemically tribal, or territorial, never has been. There are posters wittering on about Cov fans being "hypocritical" but they're comparing...

Yes, three years in Alba, near Turin. Also visited all the places you lived in. Loved Palermo. However, bot, living in Italy gave me direct insight into the nature and practice of hypocrisy.

But is CRFC pissed off? No Are Wasps fans pissed off at moving fro London or is it Wycombe? Not really. In no way was the move of Ccfc to Sixfields comparable to Wasps to Cov. The only difficulty I have with ACL and CCC is that they may have let personal contempt for Fisher and or...

Where did you live in Italy?

Where's the hypocrisy? Not sure if you even understand the concept.

Otis, I also get and appreciate heritage and history. But when we consider the relative merits of jousting and shin kicking we're not directly recognising the political framework that permitted these activities. There is a relationship, everything is political, but usually sport is a cultural...

It is really down to some believing that the Council should be safeguarding the football club because they both have "coventry" in their names. This is and always has been a nonsense, a fallacy perpetrated by idiocy. The council have an equal responsibility to provide certain services to...

That's an interesting observation. Caffeine is certainly a drug and there is the problem of mild withdrawal, weekend headaches, etc.

The deeper point is the sanctimonious bleating about franchising per se. Has franchising been here for decades? Yes. Has it destroyed the village shop, post office and corner cafe, even some local hospitals? Yes. Can we turn the clock back? No. But when 'our football' is messed with we come...

I remember a little cafe on the corner. The sarnies were all home made and the coffee weren't bad. It still fills me with sadness when I remember popping in there for a cuppa an a chat. Now all you get are fucking off shore, branded corporations with their bastard franchising an "have a nice...

It will be interesting to see how this pans out in respect of the Ricoh, the surrounding land and its development. The station is underway, there are swathes of land ripe for regeneration with doorstep access to M6, etc. What else do we know?

The council have performed impeccably representing the interests of average rate payer. They have a responsibility to provide services not prop up ailing Football Clubs. How on earth anyone (other than those brought up on hand outs) can think otherwise is beyond comprehension. SISU hoped to milk...

Why don't you tell Lucas how to do her job. While youre at it write to every single politico who is involved in decisions you disagree with. Should keep you off the streets.

Where in Italy?

Saw some Gaelic football recently. Absolutely brilliant games, atmosphere and by teams that give everything, no diving, etc. AND it's amateur!

Clear headed view. It is only in Cov that people (fans) expect the CCC to act in the interests of the club and not the ratepayer. "Fiduciary interests" prevail. Who'd have thunk it!? Not some of the dolts who refuse to accept that the council's first responsibility is to pay for the services...

Evidently the creep has zero "dignity". a stuffed shirt, a bag of wind whose only function is to spout bullshit. He's like that Saddam mouthpiece Comical Ali.

"Sisu just batter people in court" This just gets funnier...
