You gotta laugh. Every time we lose, there’s complaints about the opposition, or referee or some other conspiracy against us. Yet as soon as other supporters do exactly the same, they’re “entitled twats” 😂. Just imagine those 2 challenges being on Azaz & Leo in the Wrexham game, the nods would be going nuts. On the whole Coventry are a decent bunch, one eyed like 99% of supporters, but they deserve this success more than most in this league. As for the incidents THB was embarrassing, I thought Downes was trying to protect the ball, so give him the benefit of the doubt. The other one I’m not so sure, from memory, Matsuki does have a history of clumsy challenges. Their one, again probably give the bloke benefit of the doubt. Penalty, defo, Charles needs to look at himself a bit there. Needed to be careful and focused in that moment, bit too causal for me. East one to give at 2-0, might have thought twice if 1-0….

With Lego head thinking we could outplay the league we were. Tonda says he wanted experienced players in Jan, players who had played in various other leagues, he wanted Bree involved. What happened, he got them. Why didn’t lego, the bloke who praised Archer, said if he didn’t have Baz would want to sign him, do similar. The manger isn’t some innocent bystander, he’s an integral part of recruitment. Do people really believe SR suddenly decided to loan Baz out, get an experienced big man up top in, and not send Bree back to Charlton, without any prompting from Tonda, that it would of happened regardless of who was manager. The “domed before we started” line of thought has been discredited by Leeds, Sunderland & Burnley, 2 of whom may well go down. But they’ll go down fighting, not being a total embarrassment. Let’s not forget, Tonda has beaten as many Premier league teams as Lego already.

Here’s one thing this blokes done, that Lego couldn’t and it’s a massive part of the management game. He’s made players better. Because people were wrong about Martin (and Baz) they blame “recruitment “ as if coaching, setting teams up correctly & making players better has nothing to do with managing the club. Here’s another fact, had Tonda been at Rangers, he’d have done a better job than that dick.
-
Not this nonsense again. Last season was on Lego head, pure and simple. As his record in Scotland shows, he’s a shite manager who was out of his depth. A decent manager playing proper football would have given us a chance. Just as Leeds, Burnley & Sunderland are still in with a chance of staying up. There will not be a repeat of last season, unless we are managed by an arrogant cock again.
-
He’s done a really good job, intelligent young manager who has pretty much guaranteed himself another crack next season. He is not however, “great”, is not “by far the best manager in the league”, and at the moment there is no need to extend his contract.
-
Don’t be a fucking nod. The interviewer was trying to get a reaction, he didn’t say anything any manager wouldn’t have said. Had those 2 incident been on our players, you’d be the first whining about it…

Fuck me, calm down.

The Manager got his tactics spot on today. Coventry took about 25 mins to come to terms with our set up, we came out positively after half time, got our noses in front, defended properly, pinched a second and then hung on determinedly at the end. Perfect away performance. All without our best striker and our best player. Keeper, superb save, and a clam and determined presence in the side. Tough game for Bree but he played their dangerous winger extremely well. The centre halves were excellent, as was Manning. Everybody did their job, even Archer didn’t look completely useless today. Added bonus was no booking for THB, Downes or Bree. Proper performance…

I’d rather be kicked in the balls than hit over the head with a baseball bat.

The whole atmosphere seems to have changed round the club since he left. THB & Downes are digging in and looking like completely different players. Attitudes look far better since the “vice captain” was binned. Coincidence? Maybe, but this doesn’t look anything like the club Alfie House said needed to lose a few bad apples…

What a load of old pony….

Looks like Bank Notes are becoming more inclusive. The BoE had some consultation and the recommendation is animals. They are a "safe" move that avoids long-standing debates and potential backlashes over the diversity (or lack thereof) of the historical figures selected for the notes. I think a pony would be particularly fitting.

Yes, followed by you following me.

Obsessed

They’re obsessed.

If he’s called up for national service, we could always see if they’ll let Baz do it in his place. No need to worry about him returning from the front line safely, he defo won’t catch a bullet .

Thanks for all the recommendations & advice. Normally I take weeks to make my mind up, but I'm concerned the situation in the Middle East will probably drive prices up. Firstly people who would normally head that way for winter sun may look in the other direction, and secondly, the price of flights going up with fuel increases. Went with a mixture of AI & Gloucester, so booked Grenada.

Fucking miserable twats, we beat Manchester City in a home quarter final, a side which then won the treble the same season. Let’s hope the players aren’t as negative as some of our nods…
-
And the champions league. You’re going to need to beat a top side to get to the final. If you’re looking at Liverpool & Chelsea who may have fuck all else to play for by then, or Arsenal home in the one competition they’d sacrifice, I’d take Arsenal home over the others. Beat them, then Brentford West Ham or Leeds in the semi
-
Away to City, Chelsea, Arsenal or Liverpool

Proper penalty for that moment. I’m not against the stupid mincing run ups and giving the keeper the eyes, but not in the last minute. Last minute you make the keeper make a world class save to keep it out.

I thought he played well, is clearly a big character and a leader, which is exactly what we needed after The Ghost. Early on he made a routine save down to his left from a well hit shot that went through someone’s legs, exactly the type of shot Baz would have let in, or spilled at best. Excellent punch in the second half as well. Took one in the face, would Baz have spread himself like that, I doubt it. Only Baz moment was from the offside goal where he probably could have done better with the initial header. IMO, he’s not as good as Ramsdale, yet,hes getting there though. But he’s far far superior than Baz. There’s absolutely no doubt about that…
