The pitch at the Ricoh may not be condusive to good football, but if we are honest neither are our team. What is needed is to dig in, graft for the full 90 (not just 45) and grind out some scruffy 1-0 wins there. We are not capable of breaking down teams who come to defend and catch us on the...

The one that annoys me is the ridiculous and outdated 'away goals' rule in European games and some other competitions. A goal is a bloody goal! It dates back to the days before penalty shoot-outs so is no longer relevant but they still persevere with it. I would say the rule about getting...

Great post. I remember the game although I wasn't quite old enough to go, being a couple of years younger than you. I only did home games that season. I do remember Bob Sprake though, he was a regular at away games in the 70s/80s and all the regulars seemed to know each other. Didn't he have...

32 minutes. Breaks fingernail taking throw-in. Stretchered off, oxygen deployed. Out for rest of season.

If the SCG were fit for purpose and wished to be of any use at all, they would be taking Fisher to task on his obvious lie here. They won't, of course, because the chairman of the group is a puppet. Given Ward's comments, I would suggest that the first item on the agenda for the next meeting...

The whole thing is clearly just a pointless talking shop and appears to achieve absolutely nothing. It's chairman is a woeful puppet whose comments conflict with every City fan I ever speak to. Seriously - who doesn't want a change of owner? I wonder if Ward has to pay for his ticket! The...

Well done. I had the honour to meet George for the first time yesterday too. We were guests in the VIP area in the casino after the game and I had just got up to check the England Rugby score. When I came back a chap had sat down next to my wife looking exhausted and told her "I'm knackered."...

I got back to the car last night and heard Linnell & Eakin on CWR saying that Barton had been excellent, or words to that effect. I just wondered if they had been at the same game as me.

Mowbray has done a bit of tinkering at the edges, which is all he could possibly do by this point. The overriding problem is that the squad is so poor, and also unbalanced. He hasn't fallen on a successful formula yet and I feel we can only survive if he does happen to put a decent run...

You really, really cannot blame people for not wanting to go and watch the rubbish that is being served up on a regular basis at the Ricoh this season. A friend came and sat with us tonight as he was the only one of his regular group of ST holders to bother going. He said that he couldn't even...

That miss was as bad as it gets, surely. The words "cow's arse" and "banjo" were being used at that point. It was so appalling that most people around us were just in fits of laughter, presumably at the idea that this guy was actually being paid a wage to play football professionally. At...

When the 'bogof' offer was first made we asked a few friends if they would like the freebies we could get with our STs. Nobody was interested so the offer wasn't taken up. Is anyone surprised?

I don't think that it is just down to rugby being played on the pitch. When we returned to the Ricoh the pitch was appalling after that games convention where half the grass was missing. It got steadily worse and Wasps had this temporary pitch laid to try and get us all through the season. It...

I reckon Bournemouth will miss out on automatic promotion and have to settle for the lottery of the play-offs, where they will most likely miss out again. I always thought Wilson was using them as a stepping stone to a big contract the Premier League and there will be lots of interest in the...

I would presume that the astronomical costs of hiring sharp-suited lawyers to pursue unwinnable court actions will be in this year's accounts. We shall find out this time next year. Maybe.

I'm no accountant either but OSB's initial analysis tends to cast doubt on this being any sort of good news. Who are the club's accountants, I wonder. Penn & Teller?

My thoughts exactly. Mowbray looks to be a good choice but he is only here for two months to see if he can start to dig us out of a desperate situation. If we avoid relegation, that's just the start. I think some people forget just how low this club has sunk over the last few years. For some...

I have no expectations whatsoever for next season. Having followed City for so many years, you are better expecting nothing - that way you can't be disappointed.

What is more likely is that, whether we stay up or go down, Mowbray will realise what sort of people he is dealing with in Seppala, Fisher & Waggott, and we won't see his arse for dust.

I have to say that City never fail to surprise me. They say that Mowbray is 'exactly the right man for Coventry City' and then effectively appoint him as a caretaker for two months. That shows little faith in him to turn the club around. Or does Mowbray have little faith in the club's...
