    I know they are not everyone's favourite but I do think Coventry City deserve a mention.Deducted ten points and playing all their home games forty miles away in Northampton in front of crowds of 2000.No money for players and starting the season amongst the favourites for League 2.

    Fourteen games in they are five points off the play offs and have scored 31 goals,next highest after leaders Orient,who they beat last week.How long will Steve Pressley last?Is he the new Lambert?

    It get's a lot of coverage in the local press, they're not happy about playing at Sixfields I don't blame them either, Cobblers fans are absolutely fuming about having to share the ground with Coventry too, if it was down road in Milton Keynes they'd no doubt be trying to snake their way around into owning the rights to Coventry though.

    The whole saga makes you realise how fortunate we are as a club to own Carrow Road, a lot of these privatised companies and councils which own grounds don't know how to run these properties as business and they fail realise the community service a club provides, the part which scares me the most is all it takes is a owner to leave or someone getting fed up and selling up and a decade down the line your sharing a ground.

    It's an impressive run of results they have had, and I can see them finishing in at least a play off place.

    As usual in these cases. I feel for the fans, but clubs who have been well run are more worthy of my support.

    We (NCFC) are acknowledged to be currently an excellently run club with the right sort of owners. Doesn't seem to matter that much to a lot of the support. I sometimes wonder why the likes of Delia and Michael, Bowkett and McNally bother when their commitment to the club is taken for granted and abused by many. <ok>

    Could you just be a little clearer as to who the aforementioned 'U's are? and indeed who you are.

    I do vaguely remember some sort of spat when we were in League One.

    Are you, perchance, Paolo?

    Well, intellectually, we are poles apart, yes.

    Who knows, Mike could be an idiot savant.

    Well, he's halfway there.
