They are doing a retro keeper kit.

Really? You went for 9 months and not a hint of malaria?! Goddamn my GP's! And they screwed up my jabs! (sorry to everyone for talking about this!)

Nearly although I'm spending as much on the damn vaccinations and malaria tablets as I did on the flights there and back!

Travelling - girlfriends been working in China for the last 3 months and finishes next week so we're going Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Malaysia but back in time for the start of the season!

Mine's just been delivered! Get in, just in time for my 2 month trip to asia - pictures on the Great Wall with my city shirt on?! I think so!

Champions League is UEFA so I don't think it would affect that. But yeah, can't see the prem teams being overly-enamoured with the idea. A good start by the FA today though asking for the elections to be postponed - it's kind of testing the water and a decent way to see how much support they do...

Good point about the IOC. How Blatter can come out and say there's no crisis is beyond delusion though. I can't wait for the day he's out of that job but like you say, hopefully when that day does finally come it's not just a like for like swap. Major overhaul and reconstruction needed at FIFA...

Not really going to solve anything either though. It would appease the likes of you and me for a while but (the alleged) corruption seems cemented within that organisation so that anybody who did take over would show the same (again, alleged) loose morals as Mr Joseph Sepp Blatter. It's unlikely...

Extra officials. The 10 yard one got scrapped because it was awful, even the refs didn't know how to work it - a good example of this was set at HR when the ref advanced a free kick to who we were playing against (can't remember) and that took it into the penalty area, which actually wasn't...

They were indeed, but we didn't need to rely on their results in the end - very un-Coventry like!

Considering we were heading towards the drop I'd say the first few matches definitely mattered under Thorn.

It's not a question of is FIFA corrupt anymore, it's a question of how far into the organisation does the corruption go. Everything points to it going right to the top. It's disgraceful. They're not only ruining the game for supporters now but for many many future generations of supporters.

Considering they've been talking about £8-12 million for about a year I'd be surprised

Olofinjana is like a poor mans Yaya Toure but still very good, especially at this level.

It was off Hull. I always rated Olifinjana though too. As for Greening, you're totally right. But he's too out of our (wages) price range. A few of those Baggies players from a few years ago would do the business in our midfield.

Yup, I agree with this also!

His movement in the cup match was unbelievable. I would love him here, like you say, just that natural goalscorer instinct. And Ashby, he lasted 90 minutes in the cup final, doesn't really have injury problems and has had his legs saved over the past couple of years a little. Didn't look...

I'd love him here. Still looked class in the cup match.

That is very true :facepalm:

True, bit of a bottler! No where near as bad as Runar Normann though - who was in the team at the same time! No wonder we didn't go up in the first 2 years after coming down!
