    No April Fools jokes

    Just seen this on TV. Apparently there will be no April Fools jokes this year out of respect for Ronnie Corbett's death.

    The two year plan

    Let's imagine that the club really did have a two year plan at the start of this season - by which I mean that the club never expected to have the team that would compete for promotion this year and everything done this year was deliberate. What would that plan be and how well are we executing...

    Vinyl

    Anyone watching this? Great music and engaging plot - a few anachronisms (there's a punk band in the early 70s) but I can let it ride.

    Housing in the UK

    This is not a party political rant, both main parties have had a go at this issue and failed. Further I am not a racist or against people migrating per se. I read yesterday that house prices went up by nearly 10% again over the past 12 months: much faster than the rate of general inflation and...

    Relapse Horror Puzzle Game

    May I put a plug in for a relative who is building a PC game? Relapse is a puzzle-horror game set in an abandoned Victorian Insane Asylum. They have started a Kick starter and there is a free demo that should give between 1 and 2 hours of game play that can be downloaded from the kick starter...

    Top 20 most mediocre team: #1 Goalkeeper

    Which of our goalkeepers was the most mediocre? Just asking for one at the moment. Will be back over the coming decades every few weeks to ask for the second most mediocre goalie and so on until we have the whole team... Also your favourite colour. For me: Les Sealy. Green.

    Song for Hunt?

    I'm struggling to think of any words that both describe him and rhyme.

    Hypothetical Premiership team 2020

    It's possible that we will be back in the Premiership for 2020. Which team would you select for our opening game? For me, it's likely that very few, if none of our current squad will still be with the club and the team will be full of chaps I've never heard of. Hence I'm going with: Hadjuk...

    Poll: Where does Ryan Kent need to improve

    Despite there being several threads discussing Ryan Kent, it wasn't clear to me where we thought he needs to improve. I've created a poll so we can do this scientifically.

    Sky Blues Star Wars

    The CET has photoshopped some pictures of CCFC staff members onto pictures from the Star Wars movies. http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/coventry-city-fc-stars-recreated-10614772 I wish they'd photoshop a real news story into their paper.

    Three novels to show Dickens

    I'm not going to claim that Dickens was 'the first modern novelist' or anything pretentious like that. Firstly because I'm not even sure what that means and secondly because I'm sure there are people on this forum who know far more about literature than I do and will dispute the claim; I'm sure...

    Mapping yahoo and hotmail accounts to Outlook

    Tried several times, using instructions found from google but they won't connect. Anyone know what the magic instructions are?

    Lameira through balls

    I love to see a side playing a ball along the floor between defenders for a striker to run onto. I've seen Lameiras do that twice now: the first a very clever delayed pass for Armstrong and the second for Tudgay yesterday which unfortunately didn't lead to a goal. He's worth his place if he...

    Would Munir el Haddadi be a good signing?

    He's only 20 but a great player. Let's face it, he's not going to be getting many games for Barca. Mowbray will sign him.

    Virtual book club

    This may bomb. Here's an idea: we choose a book, a piece of music and a piece of art. We read, listen and look and discuss. Selfishly, as I'm reading it presently, I suggest 'half a yellow sun' by Achebe as the novel - am only 100 pages in and it's excellent. First piece of music and art...

    Ffs

    Ok, this will probably alienate everyone. I don't understand why everyone repeats the same old well-trodden arguments on almost every thread. Regulars already know each others' positions. We are a microcosm of society; the only thing we have in common is having been born in Coventry and...

    Kids Company

    It doesn't look good. I'm hearing that there have been concerns about corruption for years and now a Police investigation. I'm bracing myself for a big exposure and arrests. RSPB is also coming in for criticism for not concentrating on bird welfare any more (youforgotthebirds.com). Other...
