I thought Coventry had 2 of the leading scorers in Lge 1 already (Leon Clarke & Callum Wilson(?) ), unless they intend selling one of them to raise much needed funds.

One expression was 'Attitude is more important than ability', I seem to recall that the horrible Graeme Westley used that phrase whilst Manager at Farnborough including changing their Stadium (I use that term loosely) name to the Aimita Stadium.

Agreed, I think we sometimes forget we have a common cause (The Daggers),Good wishes to one & all for 2014.

Despite only facing 10 men for much of the time most, if not all, of us would have taken a point before the start & it has stopped the rot.I said yesterday that we had never lost away to the Spireites & we've kept that record so credit where it's due.

On a positive note we have never lost away to Chesterfield so this could continue tomorrow - you never know!
Realistically we should lose this match 7 times out of 10 but if this is one of the other 3 then whoopee!!

Didn't we have 31 points at this stage last year and look what happened? Saying that the team have done well so far, hopefully they can continue in this vein - Portsmouth are no great shakes at home & we are unbeaten away to Chesterfield in the FL.

The whole series has been an embarrassment as we haven't scored enough runs especially in the first innings & when we do bat most of them especially The Ego (Pietersen to those who don't know) who seems to have an ambition to get caught out in every Test notably off Siddle throw their wickets aw...

I doubt the Sodjes would need to get deliberate bookings - they all seem to be dirty so & so's anyway & they got booked regularly enough anyway!!

TBH he showed little passion to play for us for much of his stay apart from 2/3 decent goals. I do remember watching him when we got stuffed at Crewe & he spent much of the game losing his rag - maybe trying to get deliberately booked?

It's not all doom & gloom as Italy are notoriously slow starters , Uruguay have 2 top class strikers & will be difficult, we need 1 win or 2 draws from the opening 2 games then beat Costa Rica. If we get through we could get Greece/Colombia but after that either Brazil/Spain/Holland, but all...

At a glance he looks fearsome but is the kind of player you want on your side, I reckon he is a good character at MFC & Is probably a huge dressing room influence.

Just like Leigh RMI brought to us then.

That was Udinese away to Fiorentina, I believe, and Udinese are among the better sides in Serie A!!

I too wanted him out years ago but fair play to him for what he has achieved for the Club & as others have said he is just as happy to stand with the fans as with Club officials & has never shied away from speaking to fans. Thanks for all the great memories Dave, now just enjoy your football...

Sorry to learn of your loss, may she rest in peace, at least she will not suffer any more. I hope you can come to terms with your loss in due course.

As I said on the BW thread if you drink & drive you should be banned for life, also with driving dangerously & causing death/injury to others exactly the same - end of....
