    Sven-Göran Eriksson

    Very sick with cancer and has a year left at most, in the worst case 'a lot less'. Seems to be keeping a proud face, but I couldn't imagine being in that situation, living and knowing what he knows about the outlook. Absolutely horrible disease. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67942943

    Rate The New Players

    Given that it is another international break, why not break down our new signings and discuss them... I have no doubts this will be overwhelmingly positive! Haji Wright - 4/10: Scored a few goals, yes. Cost a fortune, yes. Should be doing better? Undoubtedly yes. The application seems a bit...

    Attack & Defence Effectiveness

    Saw these graphs on how we fair compared to the rest of the league, and thought they were interesting. I know we have made a lot of defensive mistakes recently, so that probably occupies people's minds, but I have been saying for ages that we have a problem taking chances in attack. These...

    Ratings vs Swansea

    Difficult one to mark, as we played like Jekyll & Hyde. Wilson: 6 - Did a couple of decent saves, and cleared it well to set up one of the goals, but also seemed to flap a bit when the game turned. Burroughs: 5.5 - Played well first half, but stopped going forwards at 3-0. Was right to be taken...

    End Product - The Statistics

    I posted this on another topic, but think it probably deserves its own thread. I was looking at the stats from last night and once again we have dominated possession, set pieces, and shots. However, we lost 2-0. Result aside, it feels like you could copy and paste the same figures for about 80%...

    O'Hare is a Burden on the Team

    I'm sure this will initially attract a barrage of insults, but as much as I really want the lad to succeed, he's not offering anywhere near enough for a championship attacking midfielder that plays every game. I've heard comments that he is the best player we've had since relegation from the...

    Central America

    I'm going on a work trip to the US in a few weeks and have booked myself two weeks afterwards. Going to go away and get some sun, maybe go back packing somewhere different. Was thinking Central America. Has anyone been before? Wondering if anyone has some advice or tips. In desperate need of a...

    Recruitment This Season

    After some dialogue on the forum today, I just want to get an overall perspective about what people think of the recruitment this season. My own view is that it hasn't really been good enough in a season that is critical for the club going forwards. Of course, there has been a really...

    Book

    Hey guys, I mentioned on here a while back that I was writing a novel, well I'm glad to say it is finally finished and ready to buy on Amazon! If it does interest anyone, then please do go ahead and purchase a copy (the ebook presents much better value than the paperback due to printing...

    Sky Blues Talk FC

    Any chance we can make this happen when things are back to normal?

    Where will we finish?

    For a few weeks now I have been extremely worried about watching us play. Didn't really want to start the doom and gloom without a trigger, but maybe tonight will open some eyes. Where do you think we will finish now?

    737 Max

    It looks like the 737 Max is slowly being sneaked back into service. I fly a lot, and also know my way around a cockpit pretty well. Certainly for me I won't be going anywhere near it. Unrelated to the safety concerns. I actually find the notion that smaller planes being equipped with the...

    Sainsbury's Christmas Adverts

    I'll wait for Shmmeee to come along and tell me to get off twitter, but has anyone else seen the response to these adverts? They're absolutely disgusting. I'm the first person to come along and shout pc gone mad, but the reaction to this is well over the top and actually pretty upsetting. At a...

    The Knee

    I think I can only recall two times this season where the team haven't taken the knee before a match. QPR and Reading. Is that correct? Those games have been our only two wins. If that's the case it is spooky as hell. ***Warning Bellends*** Please do not descend this thread into the usual shit.

    Book Writing

    Hey guys, Was just talking about this in another thread but guess we will leave that one for arguments and get down to business here. I'm currently in the process of writing a book and wondered if any on here have an interest in such activity, or if anyone has written one before themselves. I...

    UFO's

    So, it seems the Pentagon has released footage of what could be some sort of 'aliens'. It seems like with Coronavirus going on that no one gives a shit. I'm totally confused. What do people think? I have always had the belief that we would be naive to think we are the only life forms to...

    Shooting Statistics

    Out of curiosity I decided to go through and take our shooting stats from the last 5 games and put them together. It's fair to say there is a bit of a problem. Coventry vs Tranmere: 19 shots, 1 shot on target, no goals. Rotherham vs Coventry: 13 shots, 2 shots on target, no goals. Coventry vs...

    ESB1 Surgery

    Hi Guys, Before I get started, this not an end of the world tale or indeed a dramatic life changing problem, but as there are a good bunch of people on here with smart brains. I'm hoping you'll be able to help me with something. I started a new job around 9 months ago. Since I've been working...
