Apparently in advanced talks with a championship club as a free agent he can sign and play to be honest don’t know that much about him other than he has a bit of a reputation: Could we ? Would we ? Should we ?

Three years since the passing of our Cyrille bloody hell where does the time go ! RIP big man.

Apparently odds slashed on Chris Coleman becoming the next Sheffield Wednesday manager, surely not, but as they say footballs’ a funny old game.

Just heard Maurice Setters has died. He was the inspirational hard man of our first year in the top flights successful relegation fight. We would have certainly gone down if it was not for him. R.I.P.

Ray Clemence R.I.P. We would have won Cup-Final by 5 or 6 but for him. Good goalkeeper.

Who believes in ironies ? It was almost inevitable we would draw our landlord in one of the cups and low and behold we drew Brum, as the home team, in the FA cup, now could we be changing divisions with our landlord ? Birmingham are dropping like a stone towards division one, four games left...

Read another statement from Richard Keys reiterating this season must be cancelled mantra saying there are some clubs agree with him (bet one is a West Ham official) what is this bloke on ? or does he just enjoy the oxygen of his own voice. The FA, Prem and EFL have stated their stance quiet...

In these times of talk of new sites being found and prospect of a“new” ground (don’t laugh) I looked at the Portman Road stadium, very much like the old HR design for me a proper football ground, four sided separate stands and a surprising capacity of just over 30000. Doesn’t seem to take the...

We all moan at refs and there’s some questionable ones in our division that’s for sure but I thought overall yesterdays was very good when I first saw him he looked a bit young and I feared the worse. It was obvious from the off Rover’s manager had wound his team up to put some early meaty...

Oh dear !

Has the emergence of Max solved our striker problem ? Also a fit again Matty Godden with Bakayoko and Hiwula backing up a fit again Jodie Jones it suddenly looks we are well covered up top so should Robins still pull in a striker in January or perhaps look elsewhere, another pacey wide man...

With Godden out up to 4 months and 2 months until the January window could signing a free agent be a possibility ?

Watched a bit of the Leamington game on telly yesterday Dexter Walters played and I thought played well a real handful plays same role as Hiwula big difference is he can control the ball. Obviously a lower standard and I don’t know how long he’s on loan for but to me looks a good prospect.

Off to Portsmouth later armed with two grandsons, nearly 55 years after the last time 17th October 1964 to be precise. A big date in the JH days. This was the day City goalkeeper legend Bill Glazier signed and made his debut v Pompey. In those days if a player signed on a match day before noon...

Midweek game, has anyone got any idea what time coaches will leave Cov for match ?

The statement by Wasps Nick Eastwood, that the ball is in the sisu court to me just ain’t true. Looking at where we are now it’s 100% in his or should I say the Wasps court. We, we being sisu, are in the exact position we were this time last year when the one year deal was agreed and implemented...

....who do we want out of the way ? With the top six sorted, barring a miracle, ideally who do we want promoted and out of the way for next season. Personally I don’t particularly fear any but for me it would be the current top two and Perhaps surprisingly Charlton. I think Luton and Barnsley...

Travel all over the city and the only suitable plot of land I see for various reasons to build a stadium on taking into account no houses that near, train station on its doorstep, decent access road wise, large industrial estate nearby where parking arrangements could be made, good for away fans...

A true England great
