    IT'S COME AROUND AGAIN...

    The FA Cup Final, I mean. But more to the point, we have another potential challenger to our title of 'Last Midland club to have won the FA Cup'. I posted a similar thread a couple of years back when a bunch of jokers from B6 tried to wrestle that title from us - didn't end very well as I...

    Footballers who share the same surname with a Prime Minister

    There's loads - and quite a few CCFC related. I'll start off. Please ignore the (unintended) Tory bias. THATCHER - Ben/Margaret MAY - Larry/Theresa JOHNSON - David/Boris

    NON FOOTBALL RELATED SONGS SUNG AT THE FOOTBALL

    I'm sure you know what I'm referring to - 'Ours' of course being 'Twist & Shout'. B'ham City supporters have long sung 'Keep Right On Till The End Of The Road'. Man City - 'Blue Moon', Forest - 'Mull Of Kintyre' (In the 80's they used to sing 'You've Lost That Loving Feeling') Stoke City have...

    Joe Hart - Yet Another Lifeline

    One of the biggest sporting falls from grace in recent times gets another gig - at another Prem club! I know he's arriving at Spurs on a free but he'll probably not only be the lowest paid keeper in the Premier League, he may well be one of the lowest paid footballers full stop. One very lucky chap.

    The Battle Cruiser, The Rub a Dub Dub.

    The Pub! And more to the point, who will be partaking tomorrow when the towels are finally removed from the taps after 15 weeks? For me, a visit to the boozer is a social event - a chance to catch up with people, usually in a group. But that's not gonna happen, is it? I totally get the need for...

    Return of the......

    After yesterday's sad news concerning Peter Bonetti's passing, I had a look to see if he was in goal the first time I saw us play Chelsea - Sept 1978. He was and as well as being surprised that Ron 'chopper' Harris also played that day I noticed Ray Wilkins in the line up and realised I'd seen...

    SONGS YOU ARE UNLIKELY TO HEAR ON THE RADIO DURING THE CURRENT CLIMATE

    Depending on which station(s) you listen to it's highly unlikely you'd hear any of these in any given climate. Nevertheless, I'll kick it off... 'Panic' - The Smiths 'Anarchy in the UK' - Sex Pistols 'Chinese Arithmetic' - Faith No More

    THE 'TREBLE'

    Whilst we while away the hours before our 'big' cup tie and spurred on by the '92 grounds' thread, I got round to thinking how many 'trebles' I'd achieved. By the term 'treble' I'm proposing having visited a ground and witnessed us play a League fixture, An FA Cup tie and a League Cup tie...

    CYCLING WORLD ROAD C'SHIP (BBC2)

    Incredible conditions they're racing in today. Irish team car just employed some hit & run tactic on another nations competitor. Scenery alone is dramatic at times.

    ALEXANDER STADIUM

    Just watching the Grand Prix athletics on TV. Apart from feeling a little joy (A bloke wearing what appeared to be a Sunderland kit just finished last in a 100m race.) Yeah, I know - drop the obsession. I was wondering if the club ever considered this stadium as a potential venue once there was...

    Broomfield Tavern

    Not sure if anyone else has posted a similar thread but anyway, the Broomfield Tavern has its annual open/fun day today with a variety of things - there's a rodeo bull, live music, kids entertainment, charity raffles and I do believe, a selection of fine alcohol. Look's like the weather's gonna...

    Coventry City players (or associated employees) with a colour in their name.

    I'll get this one rolling and avoid the obvious 'one'. Sky Blue Sam.

    Over To You...

    Never thought I'd be singing the praises of a Friday evening kick off but really looking forward to how this afternoon pans out amongst our 'nearest' and all without the stress and worry of our own participation. Cheers, everyone!

    Grimmer in the house.

    Our Jack's been included in the PFA Lg 2 team of the year, apparently. Never saw that one coming.

    WORST JOB THEY'VE EVER HAD?

    Lawro and Nathan Blake on MOTD FA cup highlights giving post match analysis of the Cardiff v Man City game, dressed as Derek and Clive.

    I'M A CELEB...

    I'm not making a statement, I'm referring to the reality prog. I can honestly say I've only ever watched about 6 or 7 episodes in its entire history but thought I'd have a peep this time round as there is some CCFC 'interest'. Anyway, it looks like 'our' Den has been paired off with Vardy's...

    Luke McCormick MOM

    Apparently, his 'heroics' today for PAFC in earning them a point landed him the award. I'm sure the nation will be standing as one to applaud his achievement. c**t.

    PAY ON THE GATE AT EMIRATES

    Not long got home after a rare stint of overtime for me. I couldn't believe the news of the Cologne supporters who have turned up en masse for tonights europa league game. I wonder if the Met will consult with the Lincolnshire constabulary on what action to take?
