Coventry city
The first club to have played in the premier league, the old division 1, the three other tiers of the football league and Third Division North and South

Although they played in Division 4 they just need a season in League 2 to have played in every possible league

I typed rubbish, it's just the fact they want you to comment.

I used to fill in boxes like that by saying I once won a Ford Cortina for being the best dressed pixie in Cornwall

When you enter.... Rather not say.... To a question, it won't let you continue without commenting why, the same if you say you've never visited the fanzone , you cannot continue without saying how it could be improved. Still worth 5 mins of your time. You can type anything in there. I usually type ...

I think the team with 11 players nominates a player who does not take a penalty

I believe this is done before the first penalty is taken

A great island, particularly if you hire a car and tour around for a few days

As regards resorts Correlajo is the liveliest resort followed by Jandia

If you like quieter resorts El Cotillo is great

Yup, not one for your purists, Newcastle.

I don’t tend to bet on the flat racing myself, unless I’m on a race trip with friends, certainly never more than £10 a race with my knowledge

National Hunt for me too

What about Wednesday afternoon ?

Nice one

Aw racing at Newcastle should be avoided every day of the week

Down_Rover

All weather racing at Newcastle on a Thursday afternoon is a desperate place to find winners

Poor quality horses with little or no consistency

Down_Rover

The away end at OT is worse than at the Turf

Not enough space on concourse and not enough space to sit gown unless you are a dwarf

Escape route from highest tier would be impassable

Still in front with 37%

2 hours to go

Having old Trafford to ourselves for last 10 mins in 2020

Burnley first. No contest

In the words of our Conor, ‘wtf could you not do that for Burnley?’

Get a tram from somewhere north of centre

Maybe Crumpsall

Then get tram back from Firswood

Nobody else think Bale played for that penalty. He threw himself backwards into the defender. I wants Wales to win but bale cheated

I thought he was clever. Reminds me of a penalty George Boyd won against Blackburn

Down_Rover

Or make it easier for them to see what they are doing

During Stans time I recall we were the first team to be top of the Championship at Xmas and fail to achienve promotion

Demonstrates there is a long way to go but this time we have a deep squad and are still improving

Down_Rover

Harwood-Bellis got caught out dithering when he needed to be quicker cutting out the striker when our rb vanished for their opener He's growing into a top defender but perhaps he needs to watch Tarkowski ,the master of the last ditch tackle Key point is that Vitinho vanished. As he did at Cardiff a...

I agree Zaroury is a talent, but I just wished when we crossed from either wing we had someone in the box who could capitalise on the good work. Controversial - how many would Chris wood have scored so far this season if he had been in the team. And can we recall weghorst? I have said this before. ...

The talk of north v south game is that 1 man has said "what a good idea" andf the rest of the world has said "what a load of rubbish". It means nothing. As for head cameras, I doubt they'd be of much interest. Your head moves too fast to read the picture on a TV screen, even though your own brain c...

Down_Rover

No. Stats are of little or no interest. The game is won by the team that scores most goals

Diversity takes decades to achieve and it is great to see it happening in the UK. I suspect there are more coloured players in our first team than we have ever had and they have proved their worth to the Club Long may it continue but the transformation to fully achieved diversity may take a decade o...

OK -two memorable pieces of football this season. I cant think of too many more for the whole of last season

When he was injured

I think he has done enough this season to be given a chance

Down_Rover

I dont dislike JBG, and he has had some great seasons with us. However for all his skills he looks slow and ponderous. OK last night he cut in and scored a beauty with his left foot. However how often do you see us break, give it to him on the right wing, and expect him to beat his man and cross wi...

Ashley Young and anyone who plays for Man U Harry and Son and anyone who plays for Spurs Raheem Sterling and his former teammates at Citeh Jamie Vardy and anyone who plays for Leicester Zaha and Crystal Palace I dislike divers even in our team. Why don’t they back themselves to score from open play?...

Probably the best ref I have seen so far this season

It that only puts him the best of a bad bunch

Being a yo-yo club is a slow death Each relegation means you are raped of your best players and unless you spend the parachute money wisely it will end in tears I strongly suspect the yo-yo process has already ground down Norwich and Fulham are in danger of going the same way We have 30 or so games ...

FFS we are top of the league and we still moan about the club

FWIW our bar service is better than almost all the away grounds I have been to

Down_Rover

Roberts obviously punished by upsetting the formation and having the temerity to get in the opposition box and score. Naughty boy

Barnes on the bench if todays plan A does not work

Down_Rover

Thought he played very well last night

Down_Rover

We appear to have dodged a bullet here. I know he was fav with bookies and a number on here. We have done well with a number of inexperienced managers who have shown potential and made mistakes. Coulee and Dyche come to mind. Wilder and many of the other potentials had experience and were not improv...

Down_Rover

Great job for someone. Beautiful training ground adjoining a top golf course and posh hotel, what Gibson built there is impressive. I was watching Boro train just before the season started. Good support in the transfer market too. Can’t see Dyche taking it though - too many complications given his ...

And I worry about that rush of blood? Hope that’s ok

Of course it is ok to worry about the rush of blood. He is not perfect, he is not Nick Pope, otherwise he would be a premier league goalkeeper

Still better than most, if not all, in Championship

Down_Rover

Proper defender that lad, massive fan already! Whilst we look shaky at the back, I just think it’s our shape and we will settle. It’s Muric and Robert’s I have reservations about I think you will find that Muric is one of the best keepers in Championship We have been spoiled in recent years with He...

JBG should play. He needs the minutes if he can last 90

Down_Rover

Interesting though he wants first choice for England u19s though. The young Spurs striker (forgotten his name) was the main man. Whilst I know that doesn’t reflect how well he will do (neither does his u23 scoring record) it’s just worth pointing out. I genuinely don’t know the answer to this, but ...

Cheers. Jet2 are always the best of the budget airlines.

Agreed based on my recent experience.

Flew out of Manchester to Crete, 5 minutes for bag drop, very easy. 20 Minutes thru security.

On return, touched down at 12.45, home via taxi to Didsbury, opened front door at 1.20

Down_Rover

I dont think Taylor in particular, or Roberts, to a lesser extent, really understand what is being asked of them. Their relationships with Maatsen and Vitinho seems undefined. I would not make changes here but spend time educating them on their respective roles. However, time will tell if Taylor can...

A big 6.4 central defender wouldn’t go amiss. Someone who can cause trouble in their box as I cannot see us scoring form a free kick or corner all season.

Like McNally or Thomas?

Since when has a league season had 26 away games?

Who said it was a season? It is just 26 random games spread over various seasons.

Nevertheless the return we achieved was very good

Which one let in 8 but saved a penalty?

Was that Harry Thompson or Rod Jones at WBA?
