    20 years on

    Wonderful to see this again. Originally used to go in West End then moved to Kop but ended up as season ticket holder in West stand. Actually was looking for me in video but must have arrived a bit later than this. Gosh those were much simpler times. Going to 'Brew and Baker' and not having...

    Match Thread Coventry City v Manchester United - FA Cup Semi-Final

    A referee who runs a physio in Manchester told me analysed this on the day what happened. When I visited him for physio and he saw my Coventry shorts shouted "Robbed, Robbed". They blacked out Man United player boots and rotated the angle of the lines across pitch to make it appear offside...

    Six minutes plus injury time to go. Wolves picking up not just the one point to condemn relegation to Leicester but three.

    Video EXTENDED HIGHLIGHTS ▶️ | Coventry City v West Bromwich Albion | Sky Bet Championship 2024/25

    Yes strange editing. City were totally dominate with just a few attempts late on from visitors. Left out entirely the periods of our incessant pressure.

    I agree with this. I do think a win at Plymouth is more achievable than at the very cramped Kenilworth road. There are quite a few factors to consider and as someone pointed out a huge one on how Sheffield Wednesday manager and players react to the behind scenes at that club. I'm one of the...

    3 games to go

    Need five or seven or nine points to guarantee to make playoffs. Stranglely six points does not guarantee it. Five points guarantees not losing to Middlesbrough. We would finish on 71. Middlesbrough maximum would be 70. This is my calculation after a long day.

    Match Thread Hull City - Coventry City Match Thread - Monday 14th Apr

    I thought the effort shown was very good. I disagree with this. We should really have won. Too much dithering in front of goal in second half even though plenty of shots on goal.Superb performance by goalkeeper for Hull stopped us getting a win. Best performances by Milan, Jack, Liam and Jay...

    Player Ratings v Hull

    Overall classier team and certainly put in the effort. Obviously disappointing to drop two vital points. Thought beforehand a game must not lose rather than must win. If we had the goalkeeper from Hull based on tonight's performance, play off's would have been secured ages ago.

    Completely agree with this. Right in front of me. Get on with game and 'face up'.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Portsmouth FC Match Thread - Wednesday 9th Apr

    That game personified the sheer arrogance of Gordon Strachen. Fans were chanting to make the change of goalkeeper because of injury. That almost got us relegated in I think was 96/97. Strachan was a very good footballer, is intelligent however his arrogance was certainly a factor in us getting...

    Worst ever referee?

    Happened more than twice. No attempt to disguise it by initially hobbling. It was as though they were either 'enjoying taking the mickey' or perhaps alternatively 'maximising there effectiveness by sprinting to be back in position' I've never seen any team as well drilled by a coach in...
