    England squad

    He hasn’t missed a home or away game for years. In the past I’ve wanted him in the squad. More recently there are better/more suitable players out there.

    England squad

    We missed out on him but I’m struggling to work out who he’d play instead of. Watched their game in Vienna in November. Austria ripped them apart and 2-0 flattered Germany. As a side note Austria are grouped with France, Holland and probably Poland. It wouldn’t surprise me to see them in the top...

    England squad

    My West Ham mate said he’s been one of their worst players this season and most of his free kicks have ended up in the upper tier. From what I’ve seen of him I’d tend to agree.

    He went to our academy first.

    B’ham Senior Cup

    Ben Arthur was on the bench for Brentford on Saturday. He came through Sphinx’s youth system.

    Lati song 👎

    I would like to think everyone singing it are not intending to be racist. Waghorn and many other white players have had a similar chant. I felt similar about the Wednesday fans booing Palmer. I would like to think that that was not to do with him pointing out the cretin being racist and was due...

    Wolves tickets

    I'd like to see it introduced. 70/30 seems pretty fair. As I mentioned before there's a bit of admin involved to do it that way and I doubt there's the man power to do it. A membership scheme to access away tickets costing a tenner a season is more than enough to cover the extra staff needed for...

    Win the FA Cup or promotion for one year .

    Win the cup. If you ask fans from Swansea, Blues and Wigan I bet most will say they wouldn’t swap their cup wins for being in the Prem now despite how things have gone since.

    Wales v Ireland kits 6 nations

    It’s one of the reasons why sometimes teams wear their away kit when there appears to be no reason for it. Teams can request it. Statistically there could be two people on the pitch that are colourblind. With regards to snooker Mark Williams has the condition. He once mistook the brown for a...

    Watford tickets

    We’re in the reverse situation. We sacrificed Blackburn away and potentially QPR at home just in case we made the play offs. We land at 6am on the Sunday of the QPR weekend so hopefully that moves to the Sunday as it can’t be at 3pm on the Saturday and we only miss one game.

    Watford tickets

    The way how the FA do it is 70% of the tickets are done on caps. So if there are 1000 tickets the top 700 people in the caps table that applied for the game get guaranteed one. The remaining 30% are randomly balloted to all the others that applied. Any ticket that isn’t purchased goes into a...

    2007/08 elite supporter roll call

    Not sure where mine is but I took my Grandad’s to the Wembley games in 17, 18 and 23. Wish he could’ve been there to wear it but it was nice to have something like that there.

    Gareth southgate

    Agree. Taking on a foreign manager rarely works in international football. It’s no coincidence that no foreign manager has ever won the World Cup. There’s only been two to get to the final. As a side note one of those, George Raynor did it two years after managing City. Meanwhile only one has...

    Coventry city flag

    Can’t recommend Barmy Flags enough. Quality is unmatched and the customer service is excellent.

    Our Run In

    Should be worth noting that at this stage last season 6th place had a point more than we do now. This indicates that it could be quite a low total again that gets play offs.

    UEFA EURO 2024

    Group stage tickets so far but conditionally guaranteed the rest. Doing the Eurostar there and back on 15th-17th June. Flying home and back out there on 1st-4th. If I end up using that flight on the 4th (meaning we’ve won in the R16) I will probably stay there then until we’re out. Got a hotel...

    England Euro 2024 Kit leak

    It’s like most player issue kits at the top level now. Completely different to the replicas. I like the design. Nod to the early 80s on the sleeve. The less said about the away one the better.

    Euro qualifiers 2024

    Very pleased with the draw. If we win the group we’re in the same area for most of the tournament. If we finish 2nd it’s 7 different stadiums. Can’t get much better than that. Train is booked and looking at apartments at present. Easy and cheap to get back when needed. Like who we’ve been drawn...
