    Championship thread 25/26!

    All week I've been seeing Boro fans saying it would be a cricket score against Oxford, all forgetting how Oxford did the exact same to us a few weeks ago. Fair play to them. Wrexham destroying Ipswich too, it's been a really good day.

    Ref watch

    I listened to radio tees on the way home after CWR (long trip back and wanted to hear what they said), surprisingly they were pretty fair and their oggy said we were the better team. They had one texter in who agreed the ref was terrible, said even he couldn't understand the Saka booking as it...

    9 Years Ago Today...

    Same, came along in 88 so never saw the FA cup victory. Felt like we'd never appear at Wembley & were on the downslide into non-league. If you'd have told me how many times we'd appear since and how close to the PL we are, I'd have asked what you were drinking. --- The season we were relegated...

    8th Worst Stadium in the Country

    Exactly, we moved in when we were on the decline and our fan base was never going to hit 25k+ a week, after 17? at highfield road, coupled with a terrible 10 or so years on pitch and thats why it felt lifeless. The last three or four seasons have really changed that, especially with the fan zone...

    Scumberland or Shitefield ?

    Putting aside the 'banter'. I actually rathered Sunderland went up. I can't stand Chris Wilder and feel Sheff Utd are a horrible club. Soon as Hamer went off, I put a fiver on Sunderland to win as we've all seen that story before. I think they'll struggle to keep him over the summer as he's far...

    Tavares to Burton Completed

    He never really was given a chance with us, sat on the bench when he should have been on loan. I hope this can kick start his career as he always seemed a nice guy in the videos and that picture of him looking at Lampard will always make me smile.

    Match Thread Sunderland - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 13th May

    Pretty sure he was only left on the pitch to take a pen. He was pretty useless tonight, every time he went to trap a ball, he'd miss it or give it away. Agreed that ever since Sunderland in the season he's kinda been on the beach. He's the type of player that 15 or so years ago we'd be fuming...

    Greetings from New US Supporter

    Welcome to being a Cov fan, there's alot of downs but the ups are so much sweeter because of it. As for aging you, be prepared, just look at Mark Robins when he took over vs when he was sacked. For podcasts you can't go wrong with the BBC CWR fancast/post match phone ins. Personally I watch...

    Match Thread Home game atmosphere

    Could be the sleep deprivation after driving home back to Yorkshire, but pretty sure some of the boro fans were clapping along to WLADITT too (seemed to be in time to the beat rather than just clapping their players), which if that was the case, was pretty great to see as it's a fairly catchy...

    20 years on

    Is that the one that you had to go down some steps inside and had a terrible carpet? Used to stay with my auntie who lived on Cathrine Street, so would often walk to the shop just across from the ground during games before I caught the bug (family would 'drag' me to the away games every week)...

    wrexham

    I enjoyed the first season of the documentary, the second I found fairly hard to watch, mostly because the newer fans have massive egos and believe their going to walk the championship and be in prem after a season in the championship. But fair play to R&R for looking like they actually care...

    Ref again

    Part of me is starting to wonder if the refs are being so bad on purpose this season to ease into the idea of bringing VAR to the championship, claiming it will help them etc.

    Worst ever referee?

    I sit in block 21 so like to think I had a decent view of it and to me it looked like an elbow into Sakamoto's face, he looked behind him, saw him coming and just lifted his arm and stopped. Could be mistaken, could have been a shoulder but it was clearly a yellow at the very least, possibly a...

    Eight Years Ago

    I very much made a full recovery. I wish your son all the best, it's a really horrible thing to catch and really felt like rock bottom for me. It probably took a good four or so months for me to feel like myself again, but I know it can take a lot longer and as you said, not everyone sadly...

    Eight Years Ago

    Stopped going to home games a few seasons before the Northampton trips started, but would follow on ifollow (or whatever it was back then). Did a few games here and there but for the most part was just the radio. Moved to East Yorkshire in the Feb of that year and started a new job. I 'caught'...
