MOTD (13 Viewers)

[Greer]

Found this MOTD montage from when we got relegated. Quite poignant.



No other club has been what we’ve been through.

Other clubs fans moaning about shit managers or wanker players, yet still winning trophies.

We’ve played home games in Burton, Northampton and Birmingham.

Gone down all the divisions.

Gone into admin and nearly died.

We’re so fucking close to being back!

I haven't watched a MoTD for 25 years, its going to be quite novel next season. Are Alan Hansen and Trevor Brooking still on it?

 

[Nick]

Can't wait to be annoyed we are on last.

Although with the internet, don't really need to watch it now.

It's not like the old days with a big match (Motson or Davies) then a second one (whichever of the big two didn't do the first one) and a third (Gubba, Sinstadt or Jon Champion) and then just the goals from the other games. Where we were often the last one of that group!

Not sure, but I do hope David Coleman is still presenting it.

 

[Sick Boy]

Urgh that day at Villa Park was awful and was carnage outside.

 

[Bad Boy]

Its got me wondering have the BBC broadcast a live City match from the CBS?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Its got me wondering have the BBC broadcast a live City match from the CBS?

FA Cup against Chelsea, unless that was ITV

 

[TomRad85]

I haven't watched it for years, I probably will when we're on it, at least until i get over it. Is it any good? I don't even know who presents it now.

 

[clint van damme]

I don't even know who presents it now.

Jeremy Vine and Joey Barton

 

[TomRad85]

Used to sit down and watch it with my old man, even after we were relegated up until i left for London about 15 years ago really. Makes me a bit sad he won't be around to see it tbh but there you go.

I was literally thinking about this the other day!
..and quite strange for one club to get a montage to itself really.

 

[Joe King]

I thought Jimmy Hill still presented it!

Yeah, not seen it happen before or since.

Oh do they have more of each game now? I haven't watched it in years.

 

[Liquicon]

Yeah, not seen it happen before or since.

I think you have to go back to the late 70s to find another team relegated after 34 or more seasons consecutively in the top flight. Which ironically was Tottenham who could very easily be relegated again this season!

 

[AOM]

I haven't watched it for years, I probably will when we're on it, at least until i get over it. Is it any good? I don't even know who presents it now.

It's not too dissimilar from previous years really, and I quite like the main trio now of Mark Chapman, Gabby Logan and Kelly Cates.
The punditry analysing the games is still pretty boring so I usually watch it back on iplayer and skip to the next game.
Can't be doing with Wayne Rooney or Danny Murphy either

 

[AOM]

Yeah Match of the Day and the Premiership were cool and all, but can't beat being last on The Championship on a Sunday morning -

 

[Viktor17]

Urgh that day at Villa Park was awful and was carnage outside.

Horrible, left in tears, to go to airport to pick up the mrs (now wife!) who had been away travelling. Funny leaving also, thought be back soon, never been back, will now likely be with my kids!

 

[Rodders1]

Was like a war zone!

Does anyone know who the guy is at the end of the vid who held up the “We’ll be back sign”? I often think of that sign and that day.

@Skybluefaz knows him I believe. Lives in Australia now.

 

[xcraigx]

Was like a war zone!

It was certainly interesting. I remember the police shoving as many City fans as possible onto the next train, myself included. As the Brum skyline disappeared into the distance and the train headed for Coventry I remembered that I lived in Mid Wales and needed to get to New Street. A fitting end to a crap afternoon.

 

[Bernie Rhodes Nose]

@Skybluefaz knows him I believe. Lives in Australia now.

Blimey, will he be back?

 

[Ccfc1979]

I am on that video near the end with my curtains and Nokia Was devastated that day

 

[robbiethemole]

Need signs saying 'big ears, we're back' held up on the first game!!!!

 

[SomersetSB]

Was like a war zone!

I think a window went through at the witton arms iirc, yes running battles with them and the OB before and after!!

 

[fernandopartridge]

Oh do they have more of each game now? I haven't watched it in years.

Yeah pretty much every game is at least the equivalent of the third game

 

[Covkid1968#]

And finally...Coventry City lost 3-0 to Arsenal. And its good night from us and we look forward to seeing you next week for more action from the Premier league.

 

[SonofErnie]

Would love to see tha

Oh do they have more of each game now? I haven't watched it in years.

1 major difference is the number of games scheduled on a Saturday which means proportionately more coverage. That said, it tends to be filled with more punditry (hot air).

 

[Para1140]

Jeremy Vine and Joey Barton

isnt joey Barton currently on remand ?

 

[Liquid Gold]

I might do an old school avoid all results and settle in for match f the day evening one time.

Seeing us on early and realise we've ever pulled off a shock or been battered.

 

[clint van damme]

isnt joey Barton currently on remand ?

It's not on demand mate, it's on the BBC!

Yeah, he is, don't think he'll be getting out for a while
