    Dawkins was decent on a low fee/wage. 
    Crazy to put him on a list with Josefzoon, Anya and Blackman.

    I absolutely refuse to accept that Dawkins was a bad signing.  He was very, very good at doing the actual job he was in the team for (keeping the ball, moving it quickly, linking play) while maybe not great at doing the job people in the stands wanted him doing (bombing up the wing and crossing the ball).  He absolutely suited the way we played and he cost us relatively little. He's a textbook good signing.  (And I'm putting aside the fact he wasn't signed while Mel was sole owner...)
    Far worse for me are the likes of Malone, Butterfield, Johnson, Vydra, Anya, Blackman, Waghorn, Shackell.  All signed for stupid fees, on stupid wages, and all incapable of doing the job they were signed for.  We got lucky with a few of them (like Vydra), and ended up with them benefitting from completely changing the way we played, but they were all still bad signings IMO.

    Probably get hate off those who drink beer that tastes like soil but...
    When you buy a crate of Beck's and realise it's no longer made in Germany and has been reduced to 4% watery piss. 
    What was once a drinkable lager (to my taste buds anyway) has now been ruined. Into the back of the cupboard the rest go to be unleashed on unsuspecting BBQ attendees in the summer.

    mask mandate - cases fall. relaxation of mask mandate - cases rise mask mandate - cases fall relaxation of mask mandate - cases rise I don't know about you, but I'm absolutely baffled why cases should be rising. Must be witchcraft or ley lines or something.

    People can choose to go to pubs. 
    People can't easily avoid shops and public transport. 
    It wasn't affecting the economy, just the opinion polls.

    It could be thought deemed inadvertently racist. Not sure what other 2 syllable word fits though

    Stay in the ground after the game and sing loud and proud to rooney and lads. Film the singing, the chanting, the togetherness, the fight for the clubs survival.
    Tweet anyone and everyone in the media who has been vocal about the situation with the footage. "Look at the fans staying behind and cheering, backing their club" hopefully this footage will then be accompanied by articles and tweets to bring attention to our situation.
    Positive backing, when in a shocking situation will get attention. Will get column inches. Will get retweets.
    We can do this our way. Not how others have done. Don't stop the game. Don't get on the players. Don't give a toxic atmosphere for Coventry to take advantage off.
    We can do this.
