    Premier League

    I always think with the BBC that when both the left and right are accusing them of being biased the other way they are probably doing a decent job of being neutral.

    Birmingham don’t want us

    There's a 3 year deal in place. Whether the opinion at Brum is they want us there or not, there is a contract in place to say we can play there so it's a moot point what someone's opinion is. Everyone on the CCFC side, including Dave and Joy, want us to be playing at the Ricoh next season, I...

    Birmingham don’t want us

    Boddy's opinion of events seemed quite different though.

    Yeah, no way Ipswich and Bristol Rovers should be anywhere near the discussion.

    Championies, Championies

    Oh yeah. In that case we'd miss out by a point and Wycombe, Ipswich and Bristol Rovers go up. No way many are voting for that option. 2 teams that don't even remotely deserve it in Ipswich and Bristol Rovers

    Championies, Championies

    Halfway through the season would be 23 games. At 23 games the following would be the top 3: 1. Wycombe 2. Oxford 3. Coventry City Note: we didn't hit 3rd until a little later, but taking points on each team's 23rd matchday still puts us 3rd.

    He was pretty good for us, player of the season in his year here. We were about the peak of his career, always thought he'd go on to big things. Crazy how someone with so much talent can see their career peter out in that way.

    National league cancelled

    Doesn't sound like they are voiding, although not much detail given. Assuming they're waiting to see what football league do.

    CCFC puts players and staff on Furlough

    Agree it's not used much here but it's origination in this country was around the 16th century. If we want to be pedantic it's actually derived from a Dutch word, verlof, so would have originally been pronounced in a similar way. Anyway, the reason it's being used in this instance is to...

    Several EFL Clubs “days away from going bust”

    Think that's just if leagues are voided as if they didn't happen. If they finish early and crown champions, etc then I think they could still enter teams. Belgium have done it already.

    6th June Return ?

    Meetings around his charitable foundations mostly. Said some pretty stupid things about his prostitution conviction. So many prominent people are connected to Epstein in such a way it's hard to know who knew what. Can't take everyone with the same brush unless there is proof they were also...

    Coronavirus (CCFC Related)

    I'd want to watch it, but I'd be very nervous about doing it unless the situation was much better. That said, they could afford to spread us out.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    I didn't mention his skin colour. My assumption was more that you were singling him out because he was a labour politician. I'm not saying I agree with the advice at the time, but it's very difficult to lockdown quickly like they did in an authoritarian state like China. There were always other...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    It's not necessarily that the experts got it wrong, it's more that there were only 39 cases in the whole country at the time. We were also told going to work and to large events like football matches was safe. Why just pick what Sadiq Khan was saying at that time? Why not pick out what all...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    In fairness, as much as I disagree, that article is dated 3rd March when there were still very few cases in this country. The risk at that time was still probably pretty low and the advice from the government at the time was to carry on as normal.

    Assume that's just a 'tubes up the nose' job rather than the full ventilator treatment.

    How have you managed that? I'd love not to have to go out, but it's impossible to get a delivery slot anywhere (or click and collect for that matter).

    CCFC puts players and staff on Furlough

    Very much an English word, not American.

    They could've just furloughed contracted staff too. Another company to add to the coronavirus shit list.

    CCFC puts players and staff on Furlough

    Even that @salop888 guy that Grendel & Nick spend their time arguing with has called this guy out. Shows just how out of touch he is.
