    MOTD - The good old days

    I love the way we play but I would say the game was more exciting 40 years ago.

    BBC Sounds Replay - Coventry vs Spurs FA CUP Final

    Couldn’t work out who the pundit was, someone with a pronounced brummie accent. Spoiled the commentary for the goal and also looked a bit of a fool as Bennett on the right crossed for Houchen to head in.

    David Icke Again

    I think his career ended because of some sort of debilitating illness. He is an odd person to say the least.

    Most Enjoyable away wins

    Stoke also had a penalty in the last few minutes. Stoke were an awful team that season and to be honest, on the night we weren't much better. Ian Painter, who later joined us, took the penalty. If he had scored, we were down. Fortunately his penalty was as bad as his team's performance (I think...

    Video CLASSIC HIGHLIGHTS | Coventry City 3-2 Manchester City, 14th October 1972

    A few nice pieces of play from Mick Coop in those clips. He was an underrated player I think. That game was the start of a great run which ended when we were knocked out of the cup by Wolves in the quarter finals. I was convinced that this was going to be our year. I was in my final year at...

    Sunderland Til' I Die

    That guy Methven seems like a character from the office. Really full of himself and an oily personality. Is he still there?

    CET - Click bait titles

    I had forgotten all about Matthew Pennington. He was a good player when he was here. I just looked him up on Wikipedia. He is now 25 and has played less than 120 first team games at various clubs on loan. Only 7 of those appearances have been for his parent club Everton. No doubt he has earned a...

    Sunderland Til' I Die

    There was an earlier documentary on Sunderland (Why always Sunderland?) which I think was on the BBC. It was when they were managed by Peter Reid and they were having quite a successful time. The thing that stood out for me was an episode where they showed Reid in the dressing room at half time...

    Favourite XI you’ve seen live

    Oggy - Just keeps out Bill Glazier Oakey- Love watching him play,such a shame his career was so brief Peake Gillespie - Ball playing centre halves McDonald - Such a skilful player. Carr Mortimer- Attacking midfield, both ball carriers who could score goals Bennett - Best right winger I have seen...

    Sunderland Til' I Die

    I watched the first series and really enjoyed it. It does give an insight into the running of a football club, also the amount of money that they have had sloshing around. I loved the song that went with the first series too. Not written specifically for the programme but was written by a...

    City’s Most Religious XI - Take No Parishioners

    I always felt that there was a bit of extra 'dig' in Cyrille's challenges after he announced he was a Christian. It was as if he was saying 'I may be Christian, but I'm not soft'.

    Best Performance by an Opposition Player

    That was such an underhand thing to do, sack him when he was ill. Employing Butcher was always going to be risky. Why should a great player be a great manager? If they really wanted him to come in, surely he could have been Sillett’s assistant to the end of the season when I think John intended...

    Who is our most successful penalty taker of all time?

    I think it would depend what you mean by modern. I think Ron Farmer is the best, certainly since the war. I think Gary MacAlister also only missed one for us?
