So Zola’s “we’re really interested in buying a player who’s due to play against us in a cup game on a couple of days” statement turned out to be smoke and mirrors. Almost as if they were trying to destabilise the opposition prior to a game? Surely not.

How many times? David Smith looks good on highlights reels because all of the crosses, tricks and shots in the footage result in goals. In reality he spent 90% of his time at city failing to beat his man, sending over hopeless balls to no-one in particular and being bullied by big standard full...

That’s the point I was trying to make. Government will regret it if the club’s fans are treated in a beastly fashion by club owners nd they hope the football authorities (usu referred to as the FA - only Cunningham spoke of the EFL) will do the right thing. The government will not get involved...

The outcome quite emphatically came from the sports minister. The government won’t get involved in the governance of football. It would be nice however if the FA/EFL would do the decent thing.

So many warm words about the need for football club owners to respect local fan-bases but not a word against Rugby franchises moving about the country.

None were in the chamber on either occasion. The debates were both in Westminster Hall

Decent player. Wonder if he ever knew he was such a messageboard legend.

Newcastle fans losing 4-0 delighted the Sunderland contingent with a rendition “Saw you cry on Netflix, we saw you cry on Netflix”

It’s only half time. All to play for in the second leg

One fan “Coventry Hatter” has mentioned him. If he went to them I’d be very surprised. I’d suggest we went for Gary Rowett as a replacement but we all know we would appoint Michael Doyle

Yeah he didn’t score until his second game for us. Then was in and out of the squad in September. He next scored for us at Luton in October and he didn’t stop scoring until the end of the season. He’s not coming back and I doubt it’s sensible for either parties to consider a return but what he...

And Carl Baker while we’re at it

The short corners yesterday were a complete waste of time. Swear we ended up passing back to Burge from two of them (one might have been a free-kick on the edge of their box)

Ray Woods?

It’s not the manager’s job to negotiate contracts. Not since the mid-90s. On the other hand, Managers also have agents and if I were Willis or Burge reading of the manager’s confusion over their willingness to commit to a new contract rather than consider their options I would be tempted to...

Alright I’ll accept this, as you’ve accepted that the rules are different for different cases - and that makes sense. Will you accept that, contrary to your earlier assertion, we did not know this at the time of the signing? Or was our manager deliberately disassembling? Can new Sky Blues...

Cue @bawtryneal

Rules that didn’t apply to Millwall? And Robins clearly didn’t know the rules either as he repeatedly claimed he cd play bs Portsmouth in the league but wouldn’t be able to should we be drawn against them in the Cup.

I’m not even campaigning not to sign him but why can’t you understand that we’ve been shafted twice here by the selling club. Other clubs in their position (eg Millwall iirc) allowed their loaned players to play against them, Portsmouth and Jackett 1) refused to let him leave until the perm...

Except Portsmouth refused to let him play against them as he is officially their player. They can’t have it both ways.
