He was clearly told that with his football brain and eye for a pass he was not wanted here almost straight away when the ginger twat arrived

LMAO! I'm still pzzled why we let him go. Admittedly, I didn't see him play last season but from what I have been told by my brother and cousin who went to all home games last season, he looked decent enough, confident on the ball and made forward passes.  I'd like to see him called back and start for us but t wont happen.

I had been looking forward this season to seeing a midfield of Ireland Delph Makoun and N'Zogbia, with Bannan, Albrighton and Gardner pushing for places and Petrov as the experienced back up.  Whilst not ideal I thought it would offer a nice balance.  What we are ending up with is a mess of Jenas, Herd, Heskey, Hutton, Agbonlahor etc.

With further protests being planned it will not be dull for young Gary! Over the top Police, stewarts taking away banners (well, trying to), big blokes having flash backs to 1985 and falling down stairs...

Rivalries and hatreds (existent or non existent) apart, I genuinely feel sorry for the Coventry fans, and hope they get that rabble out.

I saw a piece on the news tonight about how one of the board members has appointed himself Head of Football Operations and taken to sitting on the bench during games.

Some of that lot will be getting an early morning visit in the next couple of weeks. The stewards were totally out of order though.

Seems a bit strong, after all the copper only asked to count his fingers...

Apologies to those who maintain otherwise, but I cannot abide those inbreds one bit.  Make no mistake, the vast majority of them feel the same about us as well.  It's all about opinions after all!

Why? First of all, we don't know what that banner said. It could have been "Sisu is a ******" which might be true but would be an offensive banner and removed. Secondly, they are employees of the club and are paid on the day so would have to carry out orders by their employees.

It wouldn't be the first time a banner has been taken down somewhere. Even Brady invaded the crowd to confiscate one at the Sty. There is enough on here who moan about booing and such affecting players and we should get behind the team when in the stand, so surely removing banners is also a step towards that.

The most disturbing thing about the video footage is the bloke who took his son to the game and clearly wants to get involved in the problem, his son is continually asking him to sit down. Occurs about 3.12 and the bloke is in a grey coloured top.

Isn't that big, bold, ugly fella in the sky blue polo shirt the same chap that held up the 'We'll be back' sign at Villa Park the day we sent them down?

If the banner was slagging off a player, then yes, but if it was in protest of the board, then no, in my opinion.

Not even the slightest resemblance to him whatsoever.
It is a club in total chaos with the ex chairman now making himself head of football operations and in the dressing room before and at half timre as well as in the dug out-if thorn had any pride he would resign rather than be a puppet.
