  1. You're right, he was massive. For some reason crosses were not much of a problem for him
  2. Sorry to hyjack the thread, but I remember a finish international joining at roughly the same time - Perti Jantunan. He didn't stay long either.
  3. The Fruit Market (does it need to change name? Insert politically incorrect joke.) The Fruit Bowl. The Banana Skin Stadium. The Sour Grapes Arena
  4. We looked decent when their three best players weren't involved Saturday, didn't we. Is it too much to ask that Harry Wilson and Tom Cairney pick up injuries to keep them out for Saturday as well?
  5. Isn't sponsorship/advertising of tobacco products banned? Certainly for sporting events anyway.
  6. I would add "and can he put it through the wash first. ta."
  7. quid pro quo. Bit of land in Horfield we can let the Welshies have. It won't be as high a quality of course ...
  8. Yep. They take away the funding for community workers and then wonder why things like this get worse.
  9. What's the over/under on how long it takes for him to properly upset Big Nige? Or maybe he won't ...
  10. I hate negative chants and would rather these people just cheered our players a bit more and ignored Bryan and Reid. But really it's up to them how they want to express themselves. Me, I just lost the plot with the ref when he didn't blow up for our head injury until we won the ball, and again when he blew up for theirs straight away. The words cucking and funt might have issued forth from the middle of the Dolman. I bore no anamosity toward the ref, I consider that part of the game - others won't. I guess football affects different people in different ways, and I imagine at least some of the boo boys do respect Joe and Bobby for what they did at City. And, yes, @Carey 6, Cunningham can just get ******.
  11. Just to correct myself, I have seen the highlights and I don't think the keeper touched the ball - it was just a heavy touch by Conway.
  12. Hear, hear. That's the first time I've seen Comway play, and I'm looking forward to seeing him get more minutes. If OP cares to look, of the two good chances Conway had, the goalie has a touch on the first as he was going past. The second chance probably should have been put away or at least aimed to the side of the keeper. I've seen worse misses from Wells, Martin, Weinman. In fact Martin 'missed' a chance when through yesterday when he hit at at the keeper. These things happen.
  13. It was on his wrong foot but he had a lot of time to pick a spot anywhere in a clear third of the goal net. Not keeping the ball low is criminal.
  14. In case anyone else was buying a last minute ticket today (fools), mine took nearly 4 hours to arrive by email. Er, at least I got it right? Will I regret going more than I would have regretted not going? Probably For those on the hesgoal stream, I'm the one in the Dolman.
  15. So I decided to bite the bullet and go. Ticket added to my account, but nothing emailed. Never had a problem before (ticket emails are instant or take a minute or two), and no it is not in the junk mail folder. That was nearly an hour ago. I'll give it a couple of hours before I panic. Has anyone else had any issues today? (Unlikely I know, 'cus no-one on here is going )
  16. What about Kevin Mabbutt. Surely better than Britton upfront based on career to date. Plus he'd be able to select a decent bottle of wine for the post match wind down.
  17. Almost worth it to troll the OP https://www.ccfcstore.com/replica-kits/home-kit/adult/954_coventry-adult-2122-home-shirt.html
  18. I guess the club think the prices are pretty good compared to a walk up price, but fail to acknowledge that 80% of supporters are season card holders who won't see these prices as such a good deal. And given that U12/U19/U22/Adult prices are £1/£5/£10/£22, I don't see the average income per ticket being much over £10 anyway. Let's say they sell 4,000 adult tickets at £22 (including Fulham fans), if they set the top price to £15(£12) they'd need to attract an extra 1,870 (3,330) adults to generate the same ticket income. It goes without saying that there would be an intangible goodwill benefit from setting low prices as well. I'll decide on Friday whether I'll be attending in person. I only live around the corner so it would be less hassle than a jittery hesgoal stream for me.
  19. If Wells had been vaccinated at the pre Christmas club mass vaccination event, I'd think the Media Team would have made a point of featuring him in the event photos. On the balance of probability I'd say he was the unvaccinated player, but as you said, we won't know for sure. As for Atkinson, he could easily have picked up the virus post vaccination, and it could be a contributing factor to his performances having dropped off recently.
  20. Glad I've no idea what that fashion item is. I'll keep a look out later for Baker boy caps and Nancy Drew hats.
  21. "Play like we did against QPR". Give away a pen, get a player sent off early in second half, and let a goal in right at the end? No thanks. We have to be better than that. Millwall won't give us space to attack at will down our left in the first half. They will just sit in and try to catch us on the break. Are we going to be good enough to break them down? I think it's going to depend on Scott and Seymeno. We also need a plan B for when plan A (I assume it's a plan) doesn't work. We need to pull Semenyo off when he's flagging. I will be very concerned if we can't muster up enough guile to beat Millwall, but am not really expecting it to me anything more than a dull game, with probably more action in the Atyeo than on the pitch. Hope to eat my words later,
