I see that England midfielder Jordan Nobbs has a ruptured ACL and will miss next year's World Cup in France. Really bad luck on her of course. But a golden opportunity for headline writers!

If there was, it would probably lead to the local A & E hospital.

Ha Ha! Tom English. Wasn't a bad player but some fans couldn't be doing with him as they thought him lazy. My mate had an argument with a bloke in the West Stand about him one day, my mate said, after English scored, that he'd get a hat trick that day. Other bloke said if he did, he'd bare...

It is correct that Chris Cattlin was always known as 'Spider' to the fans. I still have my Spider T-shirt somewhere, although I very much doubt that it still fits. In fairness to the CCFPA, I remember that he also had the nickname 'Cat' to the rest of the playing squad back in the day. As...

Just thought I'd mention that Saturday's referee is Trevor Kettle. So - anything could happen!

The Burnley keeper that Ernie chipped from 40+ yards was indeed Tony Waiters. It was the game on 17th April 1971 which City won 3-0. He also scored the 3rd goal in that game, which was 1-0 until very late in the game. Four days earlier Ernie had scored both goals in a 2-1 win over Manchester...

Am I right in thinking that they will be one of those at home and one away, as the U21 team we draw will automatically be at home?

That is really sad. He was a genuine Sky Blue Legend and a great bloke too. Went to his pub in Ledbury a few times in the 80s and it was always a fantastic night out if he had City fans there.

'Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now' by Starship. That was the song that seemed to inspire the whole of Coventry in May 1987.

I always believe that the best chance of promotion is the season after relegation. The only real time we looked like we were returning to the Premier League was in the first season down, although the wheels came off at the end. This is a massive opportunity for us. When we dropped into the 4th...

Nevertheless, they are always reluctant to 're-referee' games so if it has been dealt with in the opinion of the referee, it is his best chance of getting away with it. As I said though, I fear the worst.

That's right. The fact that it was a live game is not relevant, other than the fact that there may be more angles of an incident available. I did say on the ratings thread last night that Davies probably hadn't heard the last of it and it would finish his season. The only thing that would...

The pitch certainly played a part in their goal. I said at half time that I was a bit concerned that we were defending the deep end in the second half. I doubt the game would have started had it been a league game. There was standing water and the ball didn't run at all in some places. People...

It was Davies. Unfortunately for him, Sky were all over the incident and it is likely that, if the referee confirms he didn't see it, there will be retrospective action. It didn't look good, and they seemed to think he hasn't heard the last of it. May mean his season is over.

Agent Coleman - Your mission is complete. You may now return to Coventry to collect your fee.

Yes, but watching football in Germany is a very different proposition. We went to Hertha Berlin a couple of years ago and there is a complete lack of mindless morons. We drank in the fan park beforehand with home and away fans, people drink inside the stadium during the game, the atmosphere...

I really think that we would win a Wembley final if we got there, it's a one-off game and we would have 40000 fans supporting us. My concern is that I'm nowhere near as confident about winning a two leg tie against Exeter or Notts County, especially if we had the second leg away. Just a...

We've had a couple of Premier League referees this season. Mike Jones is poor anyway, but it always seems to me that when a top ref does a 4th division game, he often trots around like he can't be arsed. Unless it's on the telly, of course!

The reason there is so much gamesmanship and timewasting at this level is simply that the referees are not tough enough on it. We are in a rubbish league and one of the consequences is that we get rubbish referees, many of which are timeservers who will never reach the top level. Younger ones...

I believe that it has now been credited to Harry Kane.....
