You only have to look at how many teams achieved the double before 1994 to prove how competitive football was pre-Sky. Now it's not that big a deal when it was massive previously. Excellent point, I always felt the Liverpool side of 87-88, the Beardsley/Barnes one , which never won the Double, one because of Wimbledon and two because of Michael Thomas, was a much better side than the one in 85-86 that did.

I think Brummie nailed it to be honest. As well as the money men buying titles such as City and Chelsea, we have to remember that Sky were the catalyst in this. They also televise the Manchester Uniteds and Liverpools of this world way more than the Norwichs and therefore the gravy train kind of slows down after the perceived big 4 have dipped their bread in. I remember pre Sky football. It wasn't as different predictable wise in the League though it was more competitive, imo. The Cups were generally more difficult to pick a winner of. Sky and other non terrestrial channels have also saturated football, there is way too much of it. Before Sky, a live game was an event to look forward too. Now, personally I couldn't give a shite whether a game is on . So in my opinion, where GNev does raise some valid points, Sky is the elephant in the room.

I've been walking in the rain just to get wet on purpose.

Or not and.

I can see him going to 3 at the back, wing back style once Dummett / Fistypumps is fit like. And that may be the only way forward for us with this squad.

They're about as smart as Young Kenny was in Phoenix Nights when he wrote the pub quiz answers on his arm, despite not knowing the questions. [emoji38] I can imagine the conversation come May time: "You forgot to read our team out!" "Were you Stevie Mc, Lee and Mike?" "Yeah" "You came twentieth." "Out of how many?" "Twenty." That episode, man. Brilliant. "The answer was The Shroud of Turin" "What did we have?" "Lisa Stansfield" We'll shit 'em.

Club is riddled with Ashley infused poison. He needs to sack off Charnley, McClaren and Carr, and get some manager with his own team behind him, preferably a younger one than we usually get, and back him to the hilt. More chance of finding hen's teeth like

As a blame target. Or have the floodlights gone out?

Well I've returned from the Great British Bake Off and nothing has changed. Is Lee Chapman still causing us problems?

You can guarantee Waddle will come on and score the winner here. Or Paul Warhurst might decide to play as a striker

He's a real prospect that Chris Bart-Williams isn't he?

Mel Sterland likes getting forward doesn't he?

Always liked Wim Jonk, steady ship in midfield.

It's going to be tough getting past Peter Shirtliff.

Fucking hell that's a bad injury to David Hirst.

Hope Stephen Merchant turns up.

According to the Coventry Evening Telegraph, we fans are clamouring for his recall.

What channel is that on Tooj?

Agree with both of the previous two posts. Seriously thinking about going to watch Coventry Rugby every week. Could watch Wasps at the Ricoh but that's just Corporate City and I loathe all of that too.

January but we have a 24 hours recall option.

We have one striker in the squad who can be our focal point for the way we play. Unfortunately he's suspended but it's ridiculous we are so bereft of strikers who can play that role.

These have killed this very professionally. Could you imagine if by some miracle being in the same position, us doing the same. We'd fold like a pack of cards.

Not sure they kicked it out to get Janmaat treated but to get Lightbulb heed on
