    Do You Remember?

    The mortal terror and crushing indignation of being pushed in the girls toilets in school? My terror and torment lasted from age 6 to 13...

    Expectations?

    Ok, let's be honest; has this season exceeded, met, or fallen short of your L2 expectations? Considering how crushing and bleak last season was, I'm pretty satisfied by thus season thus far - we've shown glimpses of a good side, battled when necessary and pulled some decent results off. So...

    Things That Don't Annoy You :-)

    A somewhat alternate reality thread of the "things that annoy you" thread, dedicated to those moments in everyday life that reassure you, amuse you and brighten your day. Example: when you unwittingly reverse into your neighbour's Mitsubishi Shogun with your wife's tiny 106, and you...

    Playing Hunt as a Left-Back

    It may not be as odd as first thought, since he's had experience playing in that position. Plus, add his general footballing experience, excellent awareness and ability to wind up opposition players, and I believe he'd make a cracking LB for us, at this level. Clearly it's a lot to ask for a...

    Crazy Japanese Invention Thread

    They're renowned for their hapless, futile inventions in the name of technological progression. There have been many, and there's many to come, but this one caught my eye on RT News: https://www.rt.com/news/329886-japanese-spider-web-gun/ Oh. My. Lord.

    Our Defence

    Ok, we know we've suffered hideous luck with defensive injuries in recent months, but where is it going wrong at the back? What can be changed? More importantly, what can be done to shore the defence up and cut out these frustrating, points-costing errors? The obvious answer is to drop...

    Odd-Looking Music Prodigy from the CET

    The lad is obviously talented, and prodigious, but methinks he comes from a very loopy Upper Class family: http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/music-prodigy-sebastian-carrington-wins-10732022#rlabs=10%20rt$sitewide%20p$4 The picture just made me howl with laughter, dunno why.

    Make-a-Slogan

    Think of a witty, apt, suitable and sarcastic 'slogan' for a company, car firm, retailers, person, anything. Easy, cheap entertainment, this. For instance, an Audi advert on tele could conclude with: "You don't have to be a wanker to drive the new Audi Kn0b5...but it helps."

    Good Article on Lorentzson

    http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/coventry-big-name-martin-lorentzson-10713916 Not a bad article, wherein he explains about his injury and thoughts on joining Coventry. Seems he tore a quad muscle, but I was under the impression it was a strain? Dunno.

    William Regal of WWE giving a brilliantly nostalgic and frank Interview

    To be honest, I don't have much time for the WWE these days, I tend to watch old matches from the broad spectrum of Wrestling territories globally from 40 years ago to about 15 years ago. I do, however, have a lot of time for Darren Matthews AKA Steven William Regal. Brilliant showman, supreme...

    Le Tissier's Finest

    Sounds like a strange French homebrew...anyway, dunno about you, but I could watch his goals on repeat. Simply astonishing shooting technique, almost peerless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVEcbvrxHQ0 Enjoy.

    Twitter & Spying Permissions

    https://www.rt.com/uk/327336-twitter-investigatory-powers-spies/ Very crafty. Basically, they must allow the government to conduct spying protocols, otherwise they'll face prosecution. Fascism, much?

    The Game of Your Life...

    ...in which you've played an absolute blinder, a 10/10 performance. Could be from a kick-about, a game at school, Sunday League, anything. Personally, mine came in '97 at the Ryton Connection - 7 a side indoor footy tournament. I was always a midfielder, from the start to the finish of my time...
