Burnley were in Europe two years ago... admittedly not through winning anything... but isn’t our greatest achievement (apart from the cup win) getting into Europe... not to mention their history.

Leicester are currently superior to Manchester United, and for what it’s worth they seem to be going the right way about staying at the top end for a substantial period. I’ll get slated on here for it, but fair play to them. Football in this country needs a shake up, and knocking one or two of...

Most people in my club who’ve done it seem to think that it’s slower than Cov. Although I think that’s because they are not strong on the hills, and that steep little hill just knocks a little bit out of them. My pb is at Bedworth... I think it possibly quicker than Cov, but it can punish you...

will be at least a few weeks, possibly mid December, but I’ll say hello if I’m down...!

Great stuff and good luck with Northbrook. If you really want to improve then clubs are the way to go. If you get involved at the Midlands Road Relays next spring (Northbrook usually have a large contingent there), look out for the Coventry Godiva flag and ask for Pete the fellrunner...! 10...

Whilst I always want England to succeed.... I agree with some of the other comments here... given the choice, I’d take three points for City in any weekend, over an England win in any major tournament. As mentioned it’s not really a choice that has to be made, but does exemplify the far...

A few family issues mean I’ve barely raced in the last couple of months, and training has been somewhat sporadic. But we are bang into the cross-country season now. First league fixture was last weekend in the Birmingham League (arguably best league in the country, with teams like Birchfield...

I was not there, but my dad and little brother were, and said it was murder getting out of the area alive... the locals were not happy!

yes I wasn’t going up until ‘92... the worst I remember were Leeds early 90’s (a few years in a row we played them last game of the season and there always seemed to be trouble.... particularly remember 95-96 when we stayed up last game and that was possibly the worst trouble I saw on the...

Definitely Quinn gave Schmeichel the smallest of shoves in a multi-player handbags and he dived over and got Quinn sent off. Think I remember Wegerle hitting the post late on too... or that might have been a year or two before... I remember some retard from my school who was your typical...

How many times in all the years we were at the Ricoh did we actually fill it? off the top of my head... Gillingham, Chelsea, Newcastle, Blackburn?, Crewe?...... half dozen at most? Sadly (and it is a terrible shame) I doubt we’d fill it every week in the Premier League, once the first...

Whilst I very much dislike Wasps.... I think Peaches and Cream has explained the rule violation well... we can throw a lot at Wasps, but it would appear that it was a genuine error (although I stand to be corrected.... the point about the fire-sale of players last year is a good one)... and...

The Coventrian swinging for the fences last night...!

We all know the various issues (the club, the ground, Wasps, etc) are complexly linked, and all parties have a hand in all the issues... But if SISU (quite rightly) have to carry the can for our troubles, as owners... Then the council, as owners of the Ricoh, carry the can for selling to Wasps...

Statement from the Club: "As we have said from the outset, (Derby County FC) will not tolerate any of its players or staff behaving in a manner which puts themselves, their colleagues, and members of the general public at risk of injury or worse, or which brings the club into disrepute....."...

The club statement is something along the lines of “we will not accept anybody at the club breaking the law or putting the club in disrepute...” That is clearly bollocks. He may have bought the club into disrepute but he didn’t break the law. The other two broke the law and bought the club...

I think the qualifying places are skewed towards the “lesser nations” and I think the only guaranteed English place goes to the League Cup Winners. I believe any non-champions from lower ranked nations (including Scotland and Switzerland) will no longer be eligible for the Europa League, and...

Didn’t even know about this coming in. New third tier of european competition. a positive move by UEFA to redress the balance in Europe, that they totally cocked up by destroying the European/UEFA/Cup-Winners-Cup format...? or Trying to bring in a European Super League format by the back...

perhaps we could achieve those sort of crowds if we are on an upward curve... but in the championship we rarely got 25k against the likes of Leeds and Sheffield United when they were bringing 5k+ away fans... just can’t see it myself...

I’ve (unfortunately) caught bits of both Wasps matches so far, as they’ve both been on Sky. Whilst they have indeed been second best in both matches, they’ve had decent periods of pressure in both matches too. Sad to say, but I do think they are too good to go down. However, evidence shows us...
