    Yep, Peter Cormack ended up at Forest, Marinello was supposed to be the next George Best when he joined Arsenal, who paid, I think, £100,000 for him. It didn’t really work out for him there, seems to have been a wasted talent.

    You’re probably right, but he picks a pass through a crowded defence better than any other English midfield player.

    Will that idiot Southgate now start to play Maddison from the start?

    Unusual Events

    Talking about playing Scottish clubs, I remember we played Hibernian in a pre season friendly in the late 60’s. It was the days when Cov fans used to defend the West End with their lives against all comers. But I seem to remember that there were about 30 Hibs fans, f****** great blokes wearing...

    USA vs Jamaica Watchalong

    Sounds like a bit of an unpleasant game. Referee stopped the game twice for homophobic chanting at Matt Turner, the USA goalkeeper. Then a hell of a fight in the stands, stewards nowhere to be seen. I suppose it’s not surprising if there’s no love lost between these two nations….

    Harry Maguire

    Just out of interest, how on earth does Southgate not start Maddison or even bring him on from the bench? The one player in that squad who can pick the pass that opens up a defence, and he leaves him out. Did Maddison have an injury niggle?

    Robins celebration

    Agree with your comment about Robins, he knows he was wrong to do it, and apologised, end of. BUT - if one of our ball boys received similar treatment for basically cheating by time wasting, I would have no sympathy with the ball boy. I don’t want our club to train young boys and girls to time...

    Semi Final Dates

    How do you get ‘neutral’ tickets? Genuine question. Think I’ll struggle to get City tickets.

    MOTM?

    Agree, he was poor, non existent at Watford (as were most of our team to be fair). I thought Robins should have started O’Hare yesterday but I was wrong, Palmer was excellent yesterday, Robins is using O’Hare like a rugby substitution, Palmer starts and makes things happen for 70 minutes, then...

    Yep, different class, they’ll lose him in the summer?

    Match Thread Watford FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 9th Mar

    Yep, think we were fortunate to win this one. They looked much sharper and dangerous than us, the most important stat is of course, which team scores the most goals. But looking at every other stat, we were second best, from shots/shots on target, through to possession, passes made and pass...

    Just a thought

    Spot on, we can’t win every game, unfortunately there’s always another team trying to stop us from winning, and very often they have good, experienced players. Look at the experienced pro’s Albion brought on last night. And it’s surely not in O’Hare’s nature to take his eye off the ball because...

    QF Draw

    Thanks for this, a great memory. Might seem strange, but that day in 1967 at least matches the FA Cup win twenty years later. Something to do with being a young boy in mid 60’s Coventry, having immense pride in where I lived, and in my football team.

    Watford tickets

    Got my Watford ticket today, in the Graham Taylor stand. Very helpful in their ticket office, would rather be in the City end, but I’m quite happy to sit on my hands when (if!) we score. First visit to Vicarage Road, looking forward to it.

    Watford tickets

    I don’t mind sitting in the home end in order to get in. Suppose it depends if it’s pay at the gate on the day? Don’t think Watford sell out, so hope to be ok.

    Something urgent needs to happen

    Yes, I’m not saying he was right, and it’s totally right that he was punished, just think the apology and acceptance of the charge gives him some credit. Some won’t agree, fair enough.

    Something urgent needs to happen

    Agree with a couple of other posters, this is a decent apology which he didn’t have to give, does him credit in my opinion. It’s not as if by apologising he was going to reduce his penalty.
