    How much does it cost to rent a train or two?

    Do you mean the line or the station at the Ricoh? The line has been there for decades. I remember it being re-opened when I was at school after lying un-used for a period of time. From what I've read the station at the Ricoh was delayed because of delays on the whole of the knuckle project, the...

    Deadline Day

    Because there's more than a good chance we are going to be signing players who are out of contract does the window actually effect us?

    The positive stuff...

    Last night I was sold a seat and only used the edge of it. Only missed the Wigan game at home so far as I was out the country but after 2 games for the first time ever I'm seriously considering buying a season ticket because I've enjoyed the 2 games so much I feel like i dont want to miss a game.

    Stop being positive, you're letting the forum down. We're all dooooomed I tell you! Other than that you're spot on.

    Lee Burge

    Ricketts basically said that the goal was down to the defense as they didn't move out quick enough to give Burge the room for the save. The penalty he almost saved, he read it right just couldn't get down quick enough. His problems as I see it is his kicks, they're a bit scatter gun although I...

    Glad To See Them Go

    He didn't deserve the abuse you described but he was gash from his first touch of the ball in a Coventry shirt to his last. That's how I remember it. Don't recall anyone getting on his back for being Scottish or any suggestion that he was a Strachan puppet.

    Glad To See Them Go

    Wouldn't disagree with that. I'm not the sort of fan to get on the back of our own players during the game.

    Glad To See Them Go

    Colin Hendry. Although clearly an accomplished player I can't ever remember being so disappointed by a signing. Not because we signed him but purely because he didn't deliver. I don't why it was but he seemed to have left all the attributes that made him a good player in Scotland. Perhaps he...

    Wilson scores again

    I was comparing Wilsons value when he hadn't done anything to Oxlade Chamberlain price when he'd done marginally more by being part of a team who won promotion to the championship. I still also wasn't suggesting that Wilson was worth what Oxlade Chamberlain was worth at the same level in his...

    Wilson scores again

    My point being that none of their careers are over and it's more than possible that Wilson could yet be proved to be the more accomplished of the three despite being behind them at the same age. Stuart Pearce being a perfect example of being late to the game and far surpassing what overs who had...

    Wilson scores again

    Stuart Pearce was 25 when he made his full England debut. I'm sure if I could be arsed I could probably find dozens of players who made their full England debut at a younger age than him and didn't go on to achieve what he did in his club or international career. Age of debut on it's own only...

    Money in the Championship

    Depends on what you mean by compete? Compete in the high end of the transfer market? Absolutely not. But that doesn't automatically mean that we can't compete in the league. I'm not suggesting that we can gain automatic promotion, far from it. But we have a canny manager who knows how to get...

    Wilson scores again

    Oh I see. So now you're saying Wasps did pay market value for ACL. Interesting. Any news on the statistical correlation between Wilson, Oxlade Chamberlain and Walcott? Who with the yard stick you insist is Gospel is the better player? I'm genuinely interested to know.

    Wilson scores again

    Time will tell. It's probably wise to see what they've achieved by the end of their careers before making a claim like that. Oxlade Chamberlain might have been discovered earlier in his playing career that's not an indication of what they'll achieve and what the ceiling of their potential is m...

    Wilson scores again

    Statistical correlation probably proves me to be correct on that score. Care to check with your yard stick?

    Another intellectual reply. If your phone is ringing it's probably Mensa.

    Wilson scores again

    Again you're countering your own argument. Chris Stokes was clearly undervalued or we would never have got him on trial in the first place and then signed him on a free. He is to us what Wilson is to Bournemouth. Were laughing that we picked him up as cheap as we did as I would imagine so are...

    That's why I say we have the ability to see potential.

    One name for you. Alex Oxlade Chamberlain. I guess Arsenal over paid by £9M.
