    Not normally one to bleat…

    … about media bias - as it’s usually eye of the beholder stuff but the BBC report of the West Brom game is a joke. Written almost exclusively about WBA with barbs about larger CBS crowds for Chelsea, Wasps and Bruce Springsteen; a very peculiar gripe about Rudoni “getting away with a foul” in...

    bbc local radio commentary?

    Can someone clarify, does the new broadcasting deal with TalkSPORT and the BBC mean the end for Oggy and Clive? It does read that way to me…. https://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/2024/june/26/news--efl-renew-talk/ https://insidersport.com/2024/06/27/efl-media-coverage-talksport-bbc-radio/

    Louis Sibley:

    Has left Derby on an O’Hare. We were “about to sign him if player x leaves in the next window” for at least three season iirc.

    Evan Ferguson

    Son of ex Cov youth defender Barry Ferguson. His mum is English. His parents met in Cov. Apparently much of the Irish media is concerned that he could still be poached by England before he plays a fourth senior international game for the Republic of Ireland.

    There’s bad takes, poor judgment and intentional trolling….

    And then there’s this… https://x.com/coventryking/status/1691555485311201329?s=46&t=Pw5TFXUT4Tm1NPB2d5Z1Gw

    Transfer Rumour Charlie Cresswell

    Football League World ( I know, I know) is reporting that he had agreed a permanent move from Leeds to us in January but changed his mind at the last minute. Stayed at Millwall on loan and was embarrassed by Vik turning him inside out for the goal on Tuesday...

    If John Harriot and Greggs

    turned out to be the same person I wouldn’t be surprised.

    Todd Kane - a simpler explanation?

    After the announcement of Saturday’s starting XI - and without discussing the merits of the individuals involved, we were discussing how far down the pecking order Todd Kane has fallen. The right back he competed with last season got injured, so did the replacement rwb and then a third was...

    News from a thousand years ago…

    The events of the past weeks have got me thinking about former captains of commerce who tried to be associated with ownership of our club. Came across this from August…. Jojar Dhinsa lies about scamming people via CashFX Group And this from January - we’ve noted this before I think but it’s...

    Swansea want Clark-Salter and Maatsen?

    Apologies if already posted (Nick please delete if so) and could be unreliable but it seems a very weird thing to just make up… https://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/swanseacity/news/56660/chelsea-defenders-inquiry-made-by-swansea-city

    Jamie Paterson

    Absolutely ran the show in the first half. He did similar for Walsall and Bristol City against us. If we really did pull out of signing him to go for Enobakhare in the summer (or go for him after we failed to sign Paterson) it does demonstrate what we missed out on.

    Ostigard - pressed to our hearts?

    Found this translation of a Norwegian article on Ostigard’s popularity - shows the fan who promised to have his name tattooed on his chest if Ostigard scored the winner on Thursday made good on the promise. Anyway some interesting comments. Money quote from Ostigard “It’s not easy to leave...

    Massive Thank you

    On Saturday morning I sent out a tweet linked to my justgiving page - I’m running the Liverpool half marathon in March and raising money for Brain Tumour Research after my eldest son was diagnosed with a tumour at Christmas. Without being asked, Nick very kindly retweeted the tweet and I’ve been...

    Loans - let’s not bother

    I’m increasingly of the opinion that loaning players from clubs in higher leagues is a waste of time - unless they are actually good enough to make the difference in getting promotion (or preventing relegation), they are counterproductive. Take last season and our recruitment of Sterling on...
