It's a form of self-punishment. Very cathartic. Great for the soul. Today's equivalent of self flagellation. You can tell yourself as we fall behind that the real world must be better than the hell we watch I wait till I get back home before drinking to forget the dross on the pitch. At least...

I think I want carnival is over by the seekers at my funeral. Judith durhams voice sends shivers down my spine. Kids can't stand Seekers after listening to them for years in the car. Also Cheap is how I feel by the Cowboy Junkies. Then to get everyone toe tapping Tammienorrie by Shooglenifty...

Help train sons football team in morning...home for quick bite and shower...travel from Leicester to cov with son...see mum for hour (used to pick up dad for match also)...drive to Ricoh...in ground for 2:45...excitement & expectation turns sour by h/t (but not this season lol)...back on...

I think I'm in. I hope I'm in. I will be like city....midtable Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just ought my season ticket. Now let's see those major signings come our way Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm 57 in a couple of months and had a new hip 11 months ago. I feel younger now than I did a year ago and certainly a lot fitter. Having 5 kids (oldest 29 and youngest 13) they have both kept me young and aged me prematurely. Since the hip replacement I'm helping train the youngest football...

Football has a habit of not following the script. Wigan had a warchest last year and managed somehow to get relegated not promoted. Yes before a ball is kicked they may be favourites but really not certainties. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And if they don't? Will you eat your hat? Or naked over the Ricoh pitch? Or admit football is more fickle and unpredictable? Of course if they do win by 8-10 points we will expect you to boast about your predictive skills Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Couldn't have hoped for an easier group. Certainly wouldn't have wanted France or Italy. If we don't get through then hodgson will be looking for another job Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree that the Tories are likely to be the winners in whoever labour chooses. They are an insipid bunch. In fact Corbyn is possibly the only one who believes what he is saying and if he wins the Tories will be on cloud 9. But does that mean Corbyn will still be in for the next election? Not...

Comments nothing more than you would expect. We are moving, all be it slowly at the minute, in the right direction. Whether TM wrote the words or not he would have agreed them. He has brought in three players who in my opinion add to the quality of the team. Rockets has pedigree at this level...

Absolutely right. Will have a bottle to celebrate later. Hope another signing shortly...a centre forward...and then it might be champagne. Well perhaps not Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Unfortunately agree with you. You don't need to be mystic meg to see where are shortcomings are (mainly upfront). Equally the defence hasn't yet filled with confidence although I think the potential is there. I'm sure as TM settles on a preferred starting lineup the defence and midfield will...

He did well for us before I thought. A few weeks ago before vincelot and lameries I would have argued for TM signing him. But right now we are crying out for a striker or two and a keeper (either to replace or push burge). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Like you I do not fully agree here. Yes unions were strong in cov and yes pay in cov was above national avg but in 70s and 80s manufacturing and light industry across UK and indeed Europe was decimated by a lack of vision, short sighted policy, and competition from the Far East. Sent from my...

If TM can get the best out of him I think he will be an asset....as long as we get a decent centre forward who can feed off his crosses. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes anywhere top half will be an achievement and progress. I can't see us 8th in revenue myself as we don't own the ground etc and are paying rent. But with a bit of success/good football we might increase our crowds by a thousand or two. Better atmosphere and a bit more money in the kitty...

I see there is a petition calling for the entire council to stand down. Of course it won't happen but if there are a lot of signatures it will send a message. Cov needs manufacturing and Aston Martin need to build cars....without interfering prime ministers or incompetent even if well meaning...

We have what we have. The football league hadn't got the spine to take away the golden share from owners who only really wanted assets they are still fighting in the courts for. The budget we have to build a team is too small in my opinion to get promotion. But there are pluses...a well...

Yes nice gentle walks and lots of dragonflies etc at right time of year Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
