    Transfer Rumour Jamie Vardy

    A few quid on a small market can shift the odds a long way. Probably also becomes self perpetuating to some degree, people see the odds shift and pile in thinking someone knows something. Personally I wouldn't risk money on it either way, but it feels unlikely to me. I wouldn't be entire...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Hull City Match Thread - Saturday 9th Aug

    We've got no fucking bottle going forwards. Does my head in. Five minutes to go and we're passing the ball sideways and backwards. Like last season, we're incapable of building any tempo, it's just the same slow build up... eventually get it wide, chop back, maybe cross, maybe roll it back...

    Hiroshima

    I suggest you listen to Trump's verbal 'decimations' properly. It's incoherent word salad. Like Grandpa Simpson but without the humour. He doesn't dominate via intelligence or wit, he just shouts down, rants, and goes off on weird unrelated tangents. If anything the more he goes on, the more...

    That's a fair comment mate, as usual. I just wish I had your faith. 😁

    Good Lord. If you were any good with the ball at your feet, you'd be a fucking outfield player and earning twice the money. Focus on keeping goal and getting rid quickly, eh, and leave the football to the footballers.

    Match Thread Coventry City v St Pauli (Friendly) - Sat 2 Aug 3:30 PM

    I've spent the last few weeks thinking St. Pauli are an Italian side! D'oh. Since it seems everyone here is more clued up than me on this (a low bar, in fairness), what's the opinion of their level? (I'd just like to know so I can join in meaningfully on the "We're Doomed / We're Going Up"...

    Our strikers……

    Entirely happy to be corrected, but weren't we one of the leading teams in the division for getting crosses into the box? If so, you think it would be the perfect set up for Simms, but it's just not working for him at the moment. If this is our style, would we maybe be better with a big lump...

    Transfer Rumour Bassette to FC Utrecht

    I'm for getting him out on loan for a season, with a half decent L1 outfit, ideally. If he can't hold a place in a league one team, either because of attitude or consistency, then he needs to move elsewhere. If he can find his feet and some confidence though, I think he could still be a...

    New stadium

    Maximum weight/size limits for supporters, mate. They'd have a box you'd have to fit into at every turnstile before you were allowed in. It would be enforced by Ryanair staff. I'd be screwed, so might a few others here. 😄

    Cov Rugby 2024 - 2025

    It's bent as a nine-bob note mate, the game under the RFU. I feel sorry for Worcester, unlike the arrogant fucks at Wasps, but rules are rules. If the RFU wasn't totally beholden to the franchise Premiership idea, Worcester would be working their way back through the divisions now, and Wasps...

    New stadium

    Sorry, no, my mistake, the Les Reid saga was about the council bailing out ACL rather than Wasps directly, though obviously it was about making sure the club couldn't get its hands on the stadium. Hence indirectly supporting the council's Wasps project. Turned out well, didn't it.

    New stadium

    That's a different story. The original story about the council bailing out Wasps in secret was Les Reid. The council were trying to do a deal in secret, and Reid publicised it. Then, apparently, the council put pressure on the CET to get rid of Reid, they sacked him, he took them to a tribunal...

    Manchester Airport Incident

    Having a good few mates who are (or were) coppers, I doubt you'll find many who think that the punishments for assaulting a police officer are adequate. There were over 55,000 cases last year. I'd like to see a similar level of outrage about all of them, regardless of the offender's ethnicity...

    New stadium

    A city centre ground would be brilliant. Just out of interest, does anyone know the footprint for the Council House? Asking for a friend.

    Give it a couple of months mate. I knew that High Court Premier seat ticket deal would come good in the end, I'll be right next to the Judge for this round of fixtures, terrific view.

    Match Thread Coventry City v Real Betis (Friendly) - 30th July - 7PM

    I know the feeling. Other than my passing, shooting, first touch, heading, and tackling, I've got the everything needed to be a decent player. Except fitness and attitude, of course, but I guess I could work on that. 😁

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Personally, I'd class it as a good start, though massively overdue. What really needs to happen, imho, are very substantial economic and cultural sanctions on Israel, to the point where we neither buy nor sell to them, and we also break all artistic, academic, and sporting links. This isn't...
