To be fair they are tremendously active in the community, especially in trying to be use football as a multi cultural tool so fair play to them. As you say though, all that goes to pot come 3.00pm every Saturday when the natives turn restless

great win for Fulham.

Even better result for the Terriers, very late snatch but much needed as they've been very hot & cold of late and needed that bit of distance from the chasing pack.

Could Newcastle steal the title on goal difference?

I'll settle for 3rd :thup:

Coventry relegated, the city really sold its soul when it left Highfield Road and went to the new Ricoh under a rubbish deal with the council renting a stadium it could never fill and had no income from nothing other than gate revenue!

The protests will really be staged now against Sizu who don't spend or invest a penny on the club/team and now the Adademy site has also be transferred to the Wasps,

Coventry have no assets at all, little or no income and are sailing blind into the darkness.

A city without a football team playing at the Coventry Rugby Union ground is looking like the future.

Shame on all those directors (Robinson MP, Elliott etc) who raped the club of everything.

It really does need an enquiry into what happened as it was business suicide but some obviously came out of it very well!

How on earth can Coventry City be allowed to fall so far, I knew Peter Sillett the brother of the former assistant manager and F A cup finalists John. It's a Travesty!!

great win for Fulham.

It was indeed, but then I can't think of a team better equipped to play away from home with 10 men. We're still clinging on to Wednesday's coat tails, the last game of the season could be huge. That said, we have Leeds and Reading in our sights now as well.

If it's down to the last day I'm going! However given our run in before that against sides all in the top half I think we may come up short. I hope not and if we can play like that with 10 men for 45 minutes to a side that demolished Reading last week then we have the potential to beat anyone

Terrible defending yet again by the Toon. Defending was diabolical against Sheffield Wednesday. They should still get promoted, but I think they'll stumble for second place.

Don't forget their home gubbing by Fulham recently too. I think Newcastle will go up but as you say, not as Champs. I guess ultimately they just want PL footie. Huddersfield a game in hand and would only be five points behind so it may put the jitters up them a bit and make the run in for Newcastle a bit more nervy.

One of our best performances of the season, following on from our worse one. Great bounce back, and we could, should have had six.

Loved Villa Park. Proper stadium, great view, and fantastic away support. Bring on Roverum.

Morning all.

An interloper from the 'other' thread here (wouldn't dare post there, obvs, but my team clings on to prem status).

I'm thinking of taking my son to a game on Monday and have the option of Fulham or QPR. Casting aside all bias, which is likely to be the most enjoyable experience? I've never been to either ground, so don't know what to expect. As to the teams/likely quality of football, l know nothing...

Thanks

I vote Fulham. In a good run at the moment, looking to get into the playoffs so atmosphere should be good. Fulham are playing decent stuff whereas QPR are managed by Mr Holloway... :)
