Scrabble

Anyone want to try and put our non-scoring centre-forward to some use?

Not the Messiah, and not particularly surprising

My CCFC mole informs me that Manic Trainer is anything but, having failed to show a few weeks ago, not answering his phone, and having a morning-long nap. This coming 2 months after he was given a ‘final warning’ by Betty Boo explains Dick Wood’s presence on the left.
As to explaining Nathan Cameron’s presence anywhere near a football pitch, I cannot.

A brief potted history of the 6 weeks since the Last Post

Won at Sheff Utd (still owe them for FACQF ’98), went 4th (fourth), everyone went mad and went to Dirty Leeds at home who did us 3-2 before the annual defeat at the City Ground. The Most Ridiculous Game Ever at Selhurst Park followed where the ref beat us 2-0 despite an excellent turn-out from the crew, with unconfirmed reports of singing in a London Bridge curry house at the dénouement and the birth of SBJ’s new usual tipple, the ‘Diet Coke’ G&T.

With the season fast unravelling, Mrs Doyle scored her tri-annual goal to limp past Burnley, Scunny were dispatched by goals from Shef and not King despite Biased Dad’s pleading, and then a Tale of Two Penalties against Boro saw us go 5th (fifth) with King finally scoring and predictably revealing a pointless txtspk msg on his undershirt, but Vivienne and Jaffa McCake the real heroes. Halcyon days.

Preparations for Reading away are afoot, a ground where I remember we used to often win and Dele always score, but not for some time. Then Norwich, Cardiff and QPR to complete 2010. Eek! PUSB. Oh, and England beat Australia or something.

Where are they now - overload

From the Coventry Telegraph website -

"FOREST Green Rovers have confirmed they will stand by former Coventry City starlet Lee Fowler, who has admitted he is an alcoholic. The 27-year-old, who made 14 first team appearances for the Sky Blues between 1999 and 2003, has vowed not to drink again after spending a month at Tony Adams' Sporting Chance Clinic in Surrey. Fowler, who is currently recovering from a knee ligament injury, was called into the full Wales squad as a teenager but believes booze held back his career that has seen him play for eight different clubs"

"RICHIE PARTRIDGE has been hailed by New Saints for the impact he's made since arriving at the Welsh club. The former Coventry City and Liverpool FC winger has bagged six goals in his first seven games for the reigning Welsh champions since leaving Stockport County. And Saints boss Mike Davies has been quick to praise the 30-year-old, who is Michael Owen's brother-in-law."

"BRENTFORD boss Andy Scott has confirmed that former Coventry City captain Stephen Wright is training with the Bees this week. The former Liverpool and Sunderland right-back has been without a club since being told his contract at the Ricoh Arena was not being renewed in the summer. But the Bees have handed the veteran defender the chance to impress this week - as he seeks cover for his current right-back Michael Spillane."

"FORMER Coventry City striker Leon Best has been linked with a loan move to Crystal Palace. Best, 24, has struggled since joining Newcastle United from Coventry last season and boss Chris Hughton would like him to go out for a month for some first-team football, according to the Eastern Daily Press.The Nottingham-born Ireland international made 92 appearances for Coventry City from 2007-10 before joining Newcastle for £1m in February this year."
