    Who will be the king for a Day?

    So, in the sea of ineptitude and abject failure who is going to win the heralded crown of player of the season? A tough one for all the wrong reasons

    The Worst of the Worst

    To be honest I always laugh when someone says "that is the worst Coventry city player in that position I've ever seen" We had it the other day. Tudgay - the worst striker - oddly the poster admitted to seeing John Gayle. They cannot have seen the dying embers of Bob Latchford, the curious...

    For a laugh Burge - 2 - he is a joke. DKE - 4 - despite all the hype the harsh reality is that he never will make it. Too lightweight and too easily pulled out of position Clarke - 3 - had a nightmare Turnbull - 6 - did OK in the worst back 4 imaginable Haynes - 3 - Linnell made him MOM - LOL...

    Welcome to the shadowplay

    I have to be totally honest and say that the week end of the Wembley Final I am scheduled to be abroad. However, although the flight is booked and fully refundable I doubt i will be bothering to change my plans. To me artificial jubilation in this car crash of a season would seem entirely...

    Return to the good old days

    So yesterday we had some discussion around Slade and his style of football and how the players have too high technical ability for his style of football. Some have even suggested that we should have stuck with the great entertainer Tony Mowbray. So let's review the evidence - this makes...

    Morris Dancing Meets The Black and White Mintrels

    What are peoples views on this? Saw it on the news yesterday The dancers were naive but people were lambasting them for being racist Over sensitive and ignorant of ancient cultures I'm afraid Black face-paint Morris dancers heckled in Birmingham - BBC News

    Home is Where the Heart Is

    i observe a growing unity from certain posters on here with the fringe mentality on the CT site. Namely, there is a growing view they purchasing season tickets is a way to put money into the owners and to support the owners. We are told we need to be aware of our actions and that by taking the...

    Can the Telegraph sink much lower?

    After the sneering article that a footballer has purchased a car we now have have an article by that scumbag Gilbert lamenting Russell Slades overblown reputation. We know certain posters constantly criticise Reid and no doubt get their rocks off at this pathetic attempt at "journalism" but the...

    No Fire and no Desire

    Sorry best I can do but after another Mogadon interview by Venus that's him isn't it? The first caller after the game summed him up really. He has no empathy with fans at all and seems completely disengaged. Again his tactics are wrong he says and he had to change formation. His role in...

    Delayed departure

    Why did we wait so long before Mowbray left the club? He should have been shown the door during last season when it was clear that the clubs promotion hopes were slipping away. To retain his services so far into this season unfortunately was again ineptitude from the club. The notion no one...

    Miscasting

    Has there ever been a worse choice of actor to play a fictional character than choosing Tom Cruise to be jack reacher?

    A Rare Success Story

    There has been a few items on old pubs and shops so I thought I'd remark on one pub that seems to have undergone a remarkable transformation. The peeping Tom which I think is classed as Burton Green was a decaying dump for years. Normally when these pubs fail they just fail again. It doesn't...

    Business as Usual

    So another manager goes. I have read much guff on the subject today. I have seen many managers come and go - not too many were sublime (Sillett was the best) but many ridiculous (Gould, Coleman, Adams) and some just plain garbage (Thorn and MacKay) Where would we class Mowbray? Well in truth I...

    Back to the future

    So; We've a good team We dominate possession A win is just around the corner We have a gem of a manager who plays great football We have a manager whose hands are tied We have a great midfielder from some place I can't pronounce whose head and shoulders above everyone else It's all Timmy's...

    Mowbray and the Acadamy

    There is a lot of talk about saving the academy but I wonder if Mowbray values it. I suspect he and Venus have little faith in what it is producing and believe they are better at identified young players from other clubs and developing them. I would say they probably think the money can best...

    Dance Of Death

    There seem to be some posters on here and certain other forums that clearly believe that the NOPM approach still has validity and purpose. My view on this is it is at best hopelessly misguided and at worst detrimental to the club and its very existence is being threatened. There seems a...

    Stokes needs an operation

    That's a big problem. The only reason we stayed up two years ago was that he replaced Haynes at left back. Now letting Martin go looks really dumb. Surely we've not got Haynes in defence for the foreseeable future - trouble ahead.

    RIP Labour

    I don't think I've ever voted labour (perhaps once) but no one can deny the vital role this organisation has played in workers rights and equality issues. Tonight, however, I am now convinced that this party is at the brink of oblivion. I witnessed on channel 4 news a most disturbing interview...

    Time for a trust statement

    There are now various splinter groups around with various actions. The observer takes the most proactive stance on this. Surely the trust has to get behind the campaign. In my mind they now need to make some form of statement expressing dismay at wasps actions regarding the Higgs centre and...

    Brainstorm

    I know we've had some threads around the issue but I think we need to get some ideas out on the table and decide what actions can actually be taken. The problem is the fragmentation of the fanbase. Blame apportionment and re-writing of history is far from helpful. My belief always has been that...
