Dean Holdsworth is the worst I've ever seen by an absolute mile. 17 games and never scored a single goal for us. The worst of it was that he never even looked like scoring. He was virtually immobile.

When SISU took ownership of Coventry City, they bought 100% of the shares in CCFC Holdings Ltd. That included not only the shares owned by the existing board, but also the relatively small number of fan-owned shares, who relinquished their stake on a manifesto promising the delivery of, firstly...

Bruce has made no secret of the fact that he's third choice. Anybody remember one-man accident-waiting-to-happen Leon Barnett that we had on loan from WBA a couple of years back? Apparently he's a Premier League centre-half now. Funny old world...

I wouldn't complain if he is, provided he is fit enough to put in an hour or so. I know he had major surgery last season and he's going to be nowhere near fitness at this moment in time, but if we could get him back to fitness it'd enable Clingan to push further forward, meaning we could bench...

You're hilarious.

Bigirimana outshone them both. I'd rather see Thomas start midweek than Bell. He's been waiting for his chance, and there is a clear lack of quality in the middle. McSheffrey was much improved by comparison to the Leicester game. He at least bothered to test the goalkeeper. I don't think he...

Loved him when he was with us. I thought he was the biggest asset in our squad in 2008/09, and more consistent even than Scott Dann. He always showed a great first touch, had bags of pace, loved to get forward, and was never caught out on the counter. His free-kicks and corners were always...

I'd have thought Keogh would have been the obvious choice for captain in Clingan's absence. It's a surprise to me that Crainie was considered - he's never been much of a leading figure, and you could see him looking towards Keogh during the Leicester game for instruction on keeping the line in...

Absolutely disgraceful result.

The point is that there is more to football than 'banter' along the lines of 'so, I see you boys have travelled all the way from X-location - we'd like you to know that we deem you somehow inferior for this reason, and proclaim you (inexplicably) incestuous, completely oblivious to the irony in...

There are a few clubs in the lower leagues offering discounts to those out of work, often parallel with OAP or junior prices, but it's more of a gesture than a solution. If you're out of work, chances are you can't afford to spend £10-15 on a ticket any more than you can afford £20-25. As far as...

Because forums are a written medium, and clarity of written communication reflects clarity of thought. That being the case, it's unsurprising that your grammar falls short.

I bet you're embarrassed that your grammar is appalling. It's 'would have', not 'would of' - hence why the commonly used abbreviation is 'would've' - and don't even get me started on your punctuation and capitalisation. All that money, and still no funding for schools, it seems...

He got forward pretty well, but he was closed out of it in the final third by Peltier, who had a really solid game for Leicester. I don't think the quality of our wide play is the problem, it's what little goes through the middle that lets us down, because it means McSheffrey and Jutkiewicz have...

Dreadful turn-out, and shockingly quiet. All we managed by way of an atmosphere was a pre-pubescent squawk about Leicester fans being 'interbred' by the logic of their parents being gender-ambiguous. Absolutely humiliating.

I don't think we can have many complaints about the referee. Both red cards were justified, and Baker was absolutely stupid to go diving in when tensions were starting to boil over from the Leicester players. I fancied them to lose another player for a little while, but Baker's red turned the...

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Blairite by any stretch of the imagination, but this was entirely separate to his political career. His post-office enterprise has been relatively successful, so it's an encouraging sign for us to have an advisor to that business on board. If he can polish us up a...

Where has all this 'spin doctor' bullshit come from? He was a business consultant to Blair, not a political advisor, and certainly had no hand in press-relations during his time in office - therefore he isn't even remotely akin to a spin doctor. If we'd appointed Alistair Campbell, then that'd...

Thorn loves his clichés way too much. If he says '90 minutes under his belt' once more, I'm going to blow a fuse.

No chance.
