    Preferred area of strength

    I think the importance of the GK position at this level is overplayed (case in point: we started Ben Wilson in goal for most of last season and still stayed up) Clearly we'd like someone better there, but it can hardly be the priority when it didn't torpedo us last season, and there are other...

    Preferred area of strength

    We stayed up comfortably with two crap keepers, why would GK be the priority in the summer? Meanwhile, Ostigard and McCallum have gone and we still don't have a CB with a working left foot. A new keeper isn't going to make much difference if he has a back three of Rose-McFadz-Hyam in front of...

    I'm sorry, I can't and won't take media lessons from anyone who apologises for Peter Rabbit 2.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    And yet I thought you were also accusing the media of burying the exact same story? Based on the fact you can mysteriously no longer find an article which you definitely, definitely read?

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    So the PM comes out and says he’s worried about the new variant and the June 21 reopening could be in question as a result, and you think the media should talk about what? Love Island?

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    The Prime Minister went on national TV and said he was concerned about it. I get that it’s news that no-one wants to hear, let alone believe, but I don’t get the narrative that the media is deliberately overplaying this. Would people rather find out about it now or next month?

    Does the dog eat your homework often, or does he just like the stuff about incoming flights?

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    There's been tons of coverage of flights between India and Australia with COVID-positive passengers on board. And as others say, the media is jumping all over this story. I think it's more likely that you're getting mixed up than there being some kind of conspiracy to cover up COVID in India.

    Callum O'Hare awarded Players' Player of the Season prize

    Little surprise given the sheer amount of running he does alone, I can imagine you wouldn't mind having him on your team.

    Liam Walsh

    My head: We already have Hamer and maybe James, who are better and play similar roles, so perhaps the money would be better spent elsewhere My heart: Liam Walsh, hell yeah

    So good! It might be years before we get a highlight reel this good for one player.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    I wonder if the vaccine supply here is too fragile to let that happen. In the US it’s basically been first come-first served with the vaccine for weeks now, and most major cities are almost back to normal as a result - but they have the luxury of a shit-ton of doses. I wonder if the worry over...

    Stadiums

    Aside from the Nou Camp, the only foreign stadiums I've done are in the US and Canada, but the Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta is the best of the lot. Great acoustics, city centre location, cheap food and drink, light and open concourses, with views of the city behind the home end. It's the...

    Loath am I to get in the way of several more pages of furious Max debating, or dredging up weirdos on FB/Twitter as if it proves some kind of point. But it's really not much of a stretch to see why a player who scored several spectacular and/or memorable goals for us, often during key moments...

    21/22 Summer transfer mega-thread

    Maxime Biamou, just got released from a mid-table Championship club. Scored a few goals this season, and should be on relatively low wages, worth a punt?

    Video VOTE | Sky Blues 2020/21 Goal of the Season

    Pretty uninspiring collection of goals, if we're honest. Certainly compared to last season's. Kelly vs Wycombe for me.

    Which players of ours would have a more entertaining highlights reel of their time with us than Biamou? I think it's a surprisingly short list, given his relative quality.
