    Hopefully this should now close this thread once and for all 😂😂

    Grimes...

    I started this thread way back with an insightful observation by a Coventry fan on Grimes' style of football. Tbh, I think the thread has run its course now. Getting a bit tedious like a lot of his play. He's gone, he was a decent servant for us, mainly playing to the orders of Martin and...

    Grimes...

    Grimes was perfect for the system wanted by Martin and Williams in the Championship. Though I believe it's the type of role he prefers himself anyway. And is continuing at Coventry as per the perceptive observation by one of their fans in the opening post. Overall, Grimes did a good job - as...

    Grimes...

    I've long supported the Swans and my eyes tell me what's obvious, with or without facts. While Grimes has been consistent in 1. his regularity of appearances, season in season out, and 2. his high passing stats ( mainly sideways & backwards) he has most certainly been a brake on creative and...

    Grimes...

    I had a quick look at the Coventry Forum tonight after their play off loss. This comment struck a chord with me 😊 - "I know I’m in the minority here, but Grimes ain’t all that. He’s great on the ball, he just receives it way too deep and is not adventurous enough. Receiving the ball deeper...

    Offside law

    Even with this change, football will never be like basketball. Goals will still be hard to come by with defenders and attackers on virtually the same line. But just as Monmouth says, marginal calls should go to the attacker. No-one is really happy with the current system...so why not trial...

    Offside law

    The original, and obvious, reason for the offside rule was to prevent a totally unfair advantage to an attacking player eg if he stood way past the last defender. Fair enough. But where is the obvious advantage if the last defender and the attacker are in line with each other. I'm with...

    Possession Vs Territory

    Whatever the statistics are, my eyes just tell me that it's more direct and entertaining than the Martin and Williams bore-fests. Thank god !!

    Luka Modric new minority owner?

    Then just blame Laudrup for your bad memory, rather than calling the whole thing a disaster and berating marketing people. Joyous occasion for me, glad I wasn't standing next to you 😂. Though what's all this got to do with Modric, I just don't get it 🤔.

    Luka Modric new minority owner?

    A strange post this, esp. the last paragraph above. I for one loved seeing our only major trophy on display through the City. As did thousands of others. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-south-west-wales-21579285

    Goals of the Decade 2010 - 2020

    This compilation just popped up on my YouTube. For me - a mixture of pleasure/pride 😊 but also sorrow with what we've lost 😓. But at least we experienced a great ride, lots never have. Weirdly, I also enjoyed the win of another football team today - Newcastle. The Final at Wembley genuinely...

    Lewis O’Brien

    Yes, you're right of course. The Forest Forum must have been referring to his time at Huddersfield , who they beat in the play-off final. Well anyway, they rated him as an opposition player. Fingers crossed for us.

    Lewis O’Brien

    For what it's worth, I looked on the Forest Forum and many there were complimentary about O'Brien ...at least as regards his Championship quality. Some even said he was one of their best performers in the promotion season, a good box to box player. But not subsequently as a Premier League...
