    Just had a strange phone call

    @Grendel out of interest, at the start of the season, how many points would you have expected us to have after the opening 4 games? For me, i'd have said Bristol and Bournemouth: losses Barnsley: win QPR: who knows So for me, 4 is pretty much "par" so far.

    New ricoh tenant

    The Canal Basin office is/was indeed up for lease. My understanding is all telegraph staff are currently working from home/remotely for an indefinite period due to the Covid. I did ask about the implications for losing the Canal Basin office etc, but i honestly can't remember what i was told...

    Running

    Club session tonight. 8 x half mile road reps. Managed to knock them consistently out at approx 5:40/mile pace, give or take a couple of seconds either way... Encouraging, as this time last year I'd be struggling to hold that pace on fresh legs, and did it today with relative ease on quite...

    Four years ago today...

    Whilst i don't necessarily agree with the stance that some of our fans take that "we are the most hard-done-by fans ever to grace football"... it has been a pretty bleak decade and a half. I was the guy involved in the "handbags" on top of "Jimmy's Hill" at Sixfields after the Brentford(?)...

    Next 4 Fixtures (how many points)

    To be honest, November looks equally nasty.

    Wycombe

    It does look bleak for Wycombe.... But given that we are not even 1/15th into the season we should probably hold our tongues before writing others off. We could just as likely end up adrift in the bottom three, as be in a playoff battle (admittedly both would be unlikely).

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Although they look to be in a strong position to qualify for Europe (assuming that is happening next/this season). No idea how much of a lifeline this may (or may not) be...

    Running

    Raced at Pingles again last sunday in the 3000 metres on the track. A disappointing 10:55, over 20secs slower than a fortnight ago. Although after my previous good run, i was treating this as a "free swing" and took a big gamble with the tactics. Went off hard... harder than i felt able to...

    David O Day is a top-tier clown so i wouldn't worry too much about his opinions... Barnsley has always been one of my favourite away days. Pretty easy access by car or train, ground close to the town centre, plenty of pubs. Huge away end generally with unrestricted seating. To be honest most...

    I mean that we got away with some (at times) risky passing around the back line. A handful of times the ball was very nearly pinched right on our 18 yard box. This may have been punished by a more clinical team than QPR. I accept this is our style now and if/when it costs us a couple of goals we...

    Yeah... i think calls that we are going to destroy Barnsley because we're on 3pts and they are on zero, are a little premature!

    I really don't want to be negative about friday as it was excellent overall. But we really got away with it in the first half, with some risky passing round the back. That's the way we play, and that's absolutely fine, but a top team could have been 2 or 3 up by half time. Then they wouldn't...

    QPR pressed us brilliantly in the 1st half. Perhaps they just couldn't keep up that intensity after half-time. I think teams will really do their homework on us this year.

    Without wanting to get too negative after winning so well yesterday, but i think we really need the win against Barnsley... the little run after that is tough. A win at Barnsley would boost confidence yet more, and if we can then pick up perhaps a win or couple of draws from the rest of...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs QPR

    As i said, it was in no way a criticism of the team, and indeed probably a poor choice of phrase... but the fact that QPR were bigger, stronger, etc, is the point i was making. It is a point i have seen made on here over many years... that we have been "bullied" by teams, or other teams have...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs QPR

    I think we have carried on in a similar way to last season. Last year (and i mean absolutely no disrespect to CCFC) we did sometimes seem to be boys vs men.... but we were so much technically better than the teams we played against, that our slip-ups weren't punished, and as we all know, we...

    PSG

    They were incredibly lucky last night. Another sent off, then scored in about the 94th minute to beat Metz (who really had ample chance to win it themselves in the last 5-10mins).

    I am usually far from a doom-monger, but feel a loss here. In which case we really need to stick to our principles and playing style, and not fall into a panic.

    PSG

    That doesn't make it right. It's still blatant cheating. Rivaldo was a cheat. C.Ronaldo is a cheat. That's why (in my opinion) none of them would go down in my book as the greatest ever players. (although C.Ronaldo would make my all-time 11).

    PSG

    He's a cheat and that tarnishes everything for me, regardless of his talent (which as you say is amazing).
