    Strategy: FA cup

    I understand MR's strategy in recent years (playing a weakened side). He knew we weren't going to win the thing and wanted to avoid tiredness and potential injury. However I've often thought him wrong in this approach (from my position of being a know-nothing armchair supporter). It seems to...

    How are new songs adopted?

    This is something that has had me wondering for years. I don't know why I never thought to ask before. How do new songs get taken up? It's certainly not on here, as almost every suggestion is verbose, not funny and generally shit.* And in any case, the internet didn't exist when we didn't...

    Frank of Ireland

    Came across the end of this last night when flicking through. Seemed pretty decent - anyone seen a full episode? It's a new Channel 4 comedy series.

    Safe Space

    This thread is a safe space where @PVA can talk about the environmental disaster; no platforming and the witty polymath Richard Burgon without having to face an angry tirade from the fash (i.e. me).

    EFL Survey

    I've been sent a link to a survey from the EFL about the ifollow streams. From the questions: a) Looks like there may be limited crowds next season. b) They are considering continuing streaming after crowds are back. They are also considering creating an app for smart tvs so you can watch all...

    Bridge

    Anyone here play bridge? Anyone fancy making a four on Bridge Base? I play once a week with mates but my regular partner at the local club doesn't want to play online so although there is a club game I've not been joining it. If nobody's interested I guess I should try and find another partner.

    Hamer in goal option

    We wasted good money in bringing in Camp. When Marosi was injured we should have put Wilson in goal and Hamer on the bench as the back-up goalie.

    Deportivo La Coruña

    Anyone else still follow Deportivo La Coruña after we signed Hadji? I still follow them as well as the Sky Blues and Barnsley (new addition). We are 1-0 up after 70 minutes against El Ejido. Squeaky bum time!

    Match Thread Bournemouth match thread

    I cannot believe that there isn't already a busy match thread discussing Barnsley's game with Bournemouth, given that we are now a joint CCFC/BFC forum. Chaplin is playing well, as is Styles. Taxi for Woodrow. Connor has pulled the ball back in the area twice for a tap in and Woodrow wasn't...

    Maybe two more...

    Robins said that he may have two more coming in. I cannot think what else I'd do at this stage so I'm guessing they would be development signings. Indeed if anything I'm rather expecting a handful to leave. Thoughts?

    Record Store Day

    Does anyone else do this? We have an independent record shop here in Winchester and I've picked up some great stuff over the years. Was queuing at 7:30am yesterday and managed to get 'A Full Circle' by Holgar Czukay (Can), Jah Wobble (PiL) and Jaki Liebezeit (Can) which was the only release I...

    Anarchy

    I saw that someone mentioned anarchy in the footy forum. As luck would have it, I've only just finished reading a book about Spanish anarchy in the 1930s. Just my understanding, but anarchy always refers to left wing politics. The right wing equivalent (small government and little...

    How Much do you like Coventry City?

    I wrote a quiz for Jackie Magazine on how much you like Coventry City. Unfortunately, it seems that Jackie magazine no longer exists... so I tried Cosmopolitan and they told me to come back when I had something more sexy. The editor also said that my quiz was shit but I think she was joking...

    Championship Play Offs

    Watching the Fulham Cardiff game. Fulham play the same way as we do but look better at it. I fancy them to beat Brentford and suggest we'd prefer them to go up so we don't have to play them.

    Haile Selassi

    So, this is so bizarre that it's difficult to believe it's true. I'm reading a book by Evelyn Waugh called 'When the Going Was Good'. It's a collection of his travel logs from the 1930s. The second trip is to Addis Ababa for the coronation of Haile Selassi as Emperor. He doesn't refer to him...
