    WRIGHT and SIMMS through the middle

    Most teams in this league would give their eyeteeth to have Wright and Simms in their squads. Maybe we are finally realising the bleedin obvious: that you get the best out of them individually and collectively when you play them as a partnership through the middle. All too often oppositions...

    WRIGHT/SIMMS/SAKAMOTO

    A frighteningly good front three when we're on the front foot at the CBS. Based on last night, they're going to reach new levels as a unit this season and a lot of is due to the intelligence and energy of Rudoni pulling the strings. Add to that quality and pace of MVE and there's no denying...

    In the last couple of weeks when I attempt to reply to a post on my Samsung phone, my reply appears inside the original quote box instead of outside it. Any ideas?

    EARLY CUP EXIT NEXT SEASON PLEASE

    Ipswich's January home cup defeat by Maidstone left them free to get the maximum out of their squad in the league. With no distractions they've over performed and are now within a point of the PL. Our January home defeat last year against Wrexham worked in the same way for us. With no...

    HAMER: BEST MIDFIELDER IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP

    What a player he's developed into. His form since the world cup break has been outstanding. Match after match he gives 100% and drives the team forward almost singlehandedly with his aggression and quick accurate passing.

    REMEMBRANCE DAY 2018

    FOR THE FALLEN They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

    HURRICANE IRMA

    Awful scenes of devastation in the Caribbean, now Irma is forecast to turn north and hit Florida. Forecast is this will be the worst hurricane to ever hit the USA. It’s a monster the size of France. 5.5m people already on the move in Florida, many moving from Miami area to the Gulf Coast...

    Every Defeat

    Every defeat, every cup elimination, hard and humiliating as it is to stomach, gives these rancid owners one less reason to stay. Only when they are gone is there any hope of halting the decay and decline that they have brought to this club.

    It's not Rocket Science

    On-field success in today’s football is almost entirely dependent on one major factor. Investment by the owners in quality players. Look through the leagues from Chelsea down to Eastleigh and you will see that there’s a direct correlation between money spent on players and games won. Look...

    10 months

    13/10/13: CCFC 3 Sheff Utd 2. The last time I watched a ‘home’ game on TV. Played in Northampton. An all-time low. Sick to the core that we were playing 34 miles from home but there were some very obvious and genuine positives. A really exciting team playing fast attacking football...

    Our Club

    As a lifelong fan, I despair at our current predicament and share a common desire to see CCFC playing at the Ricoh as soon as possible. Will that ever happen? Here’s my take on where we are: Seppala has one objective; freehold ownership of the Ricoh and she will not pay anything close...

    Distress

    The practice of pressurising or distressing struggling businesses into submission, picking up the pieces for a pittance and turning a handsome profit is we hear, a familiar strategy for SISU. In a fight to the death between a vicious bloodthirsty aggressor and an injured, weakened opponent...

    Shot yourself in the foot, haven't you SISU

    If you'd accepted the £150k offer, stayed at the Ricoh, not incurred a 10 point deduction, we'd be top six by now. The way this side are playing, that would have attracted minimum 15,000 for home games. Instead you've got no income and will be forced to sell Wilson, Clarke etc in January...

    'Cutting off the nose to spite the face'

    From Wikipedia "Cutting off the nose to spite the face" is an expression used to describe a needlessly self-destructive over-reaction to a problem: "Don't cut off your nose to spite your face" is a warning against acting out of pique, or against pursuing revenge in a way that would damage...
