    A Club, its Fans, a Ground and New Owner.

    Bugger, The likes of Sheffield United... As fans we hanker for the our club to have its own ground. Richardson et al had no idea how to build a financially viable club. SISU opreated the VP form of diplomcy in trying to acquire ACL/Higgs ownership, blah,blah,blah.. I know it is not...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    It is. But none of us need to buy it. bot forgetting the dress like zelensky fashion items? as far as statements go, the t shirt makes it’s point. I looked at the cost and thought the same as you. Someone is profiteering.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    It’s sad. The French, Dutch, Polish and others are guilty of that. And.….the Uk would fall well short of todays standards regarding anti semetism / racial bigotry and their colonialism. Hopefully, we are becoming a better society but people still want to harm others because they are different...

    Robins

    Totally on board with those sentiments. But I have a different take on who was our best manager. Give Robins another 5 years in chargeand we'll look at it again. Oh, and the greatest manager (s) we never had....Clough and Taylor? But, their football was boring. Which also brings into mind...

    Robins

    I think you may need to ask a few of our elder members for their opinion. I missed the rise of the Sky Blues in the 60's. The club came from nowhere. Jimmy Hill was more charismatic for starters. And as pointed out in previous posts, many managers could hold the interests of city fans...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Indeed. Which brings us to Ukraine and the resolve of their nation. France seems to talk a lot. Whenever they get involved in conflict things fall to pieces. They didn't do a very good job in Veitnam either. But I guess Colonialism was falling apart for many 'Great' nations.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Shock, horror...A country surrenders to save its citizens...That was the starK reality for other leaders before France. Without thinking of the broader picture. It is also suggested that Hitler spared Paris because he loved the architecture. Which sort of shows what kind of a mish-mash war is.

    This is why sanctions work and the wealthy also has more clout than the man on the street. Sanctioned Russian tycoon condemns 'insane' war A Russian tycoon has blasted Moscow's "massacre" in Ukraine and called on the West to end the "insane war", in a profanity-laced Instagram post. "I don't...

    Match Thread Bournemouth (H) Easter Monday

    Absolutely spot on. I am not a SISU fan and I stayed away during the exodus. But I would be very surprised if City press the panic button and invest big in a squad worthy of a challenge. But...The likes of Southampton, Bournemouth, Huddersfield, Sheffield, Norwich, West Hame et al all came...

    Match Thread Bournemouth (H) Easter Monday

    Yep....And Norwich of all clubs is sniffing around another of our players. I'm all for encouraging player's progression but it is a bit of an eye-opener when the likes of Norwich come offering good money for the likes of O'Hare....And not forgetting us gifting Maddison to them a few years back...

    Match Thread Bournemouth (H) Easter Monday

    Maybe give it a miss next time? Seems like you were unlucky. I thought the atmosphere was stifled today. I also thought that Bournemouth fans were rubbish. The team didn't look too far behind Bournemouth but they certainly knew where the net was when they got the ball. For heaven's...

    Match Thread Bournemouth (H) Easter Monday

    I'm stuck in the days when Bournemouth were being deducted 35 points, in the shit end of the league and held my interest more than they do at the moment. Pity really, Bournemouth are a 'nothing club'. What does that say about Coventry City? Bournemouth is likely to Yo-you like Norwich. This...

    The Goals vs Fulham

    The stats don't lie and the woodwork had a good day out as well. But...City looked good, the Fulham manager said we were the better team, and our play off the ball was better. We defended enough. They had a few dodgy times in the game as well. That goalmouth scramble was entertaining. That...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Very informative. For some reason, I thought of Rourke's Drift.. Not a lot of people know that The Royal Warwickshire Regiment was a big player in that battle. The second observation was that the twitter feeds further down are promoting clothing, footwear, and fashion accessories to dress...
