    City Kits and associated players

    Following on from the next season's kit thread, I thought it would be interesting to see what players people associate our various kits with. So I'll post some kits over the next few days and all you've got to do is discuss which player you associate it with and why! A couple of classics to...

    Saleable players

    Do we have any and what value do you think SISU would get for them if it came to a fire sale? Willis, Turnbull, Stokes, Jones?

    Stokes vs Gray: Homophobic tweets

    I'm interested to see how the FA handle the Andre Gray case and how consistent they will be with the Stokes punishment. In my opinion, Gray's tweets were far worse in that that they were directly attacking gay people and appeared to condone the killing of gay people with his hashtags BUT were...

    Cov fan bingo

    There's already been a few of the classic Cov fan lines we regularly hear used today already. Let's try and get a complete list!: The squad is too young. I'm sick of us signing past it journeymen. When was the last time we signed anyone for a fee? This team is weak. If they're any good they'll...

    Ryan Allsop

    'Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe has refused to say whether goalkeepers Artur Boruc and Adam Federici will be available to play at Stamford Bridge. If neither is fit, Ryan Allsop will make his first Premier League start' This might just kickstart Chelsea's season!! :o

    Sunday League footy memories and funny stories

    I guess many people on here have played or been involved in Sunday league footy. Got any favourite memories or funny stories to share? A good friend of mine, whose eyesight is not the sharpest, often recalls the tale of how his legs were burning all the way through the first half of a match. At...

    Shin Pads

    So the Tudgay/Stokes thread picture got me wondering about shin pads. When you played/play do you go for the 'Stokes' surfboard down your sock or 'Tudgay's' postage stamps?

    Sustainability

    Let's say SISU pack up and leave and we become fan owned and offered sustainability by living within our means. How would the supporters react to that? Would season tickets sold and attendance increase/decrease? Would the people who won't buy tickets because we've had no success/little...

    2015/2016 season 'Beard Off'

    Who's going to win then? I'm looking forward to the 2015/2016 'beard off' more than the actual football. 3 way early lead between Sir Vincelot, Reda and JOB. Can you see anyone else getting in on the act?

    A fork in the road

    We're at as wide a fork in the road as I can remember. The two directions for CCFC should Mowbray not sign up are chasms apart. In one direction, SISU can screw this up with Mowbray and it will be the final straw for many of the remaining core of supporters: record low season ticket sales...

    That tingly feeling

    Felt it return today for the first time for a long while. First win for a new manager, couple of better individual performances, team with some kind of plan, scored 3 goals for the first time since P'boro on Oct 25th.
