    I can't say too much ..

    I actually quite enjoyed Leicester's Premier League win (although I was praying for it fall apart in the last couple of games of the season), and have to say that I was positively chuffed about them outshining the 'big' premier league teams in the champions league. But then again I grew up in...

    cov fans away compared to at home

    To be fair that's a terrible song and pretty embarrassing, and not even funny. Nor does it even make sense... Perhaps the atmosphere from the West Terrsce didn't deafen the whole of Highfield Road, but to say it couldn't be heard is pretty inaccurate. As someone who stood in the "singing area"...

    Fantastic website. Sorry to say so on this forum, but it was far far superior, in the peak rivals days I lost weeks on end at work, laughing my head off. Sadly became renowned (somewhat unjustly) as a haven of "sisu apologists" which I think killed it off in a bigger way than any admin issues...

    Coventry city centre

    How the hell have they managed to make the road situation around the railway station even worse than before...? They had a blank canvas to redo it in any manner they liked, and it's a monumental fuck-up... To get to the ring road you need to turn across the incoming traffic, onto a middle...

    Attendance against Exeter

    I reckon 8500. The casual/fair weather supporter doesn't really care that we put in a good performance last weekend (for 45 minutes anyway). All they see if we lost to "fucking Cambridge". And as mentioned above, Exeter for the same reason will not be a draw to those fans, top of the league or not.

    Which areas of Cov or out of town?

    Longford/Foleshill/Holbrooks Tile Hill/Canley/Earlsdon Wyken/Binley Bedworth/Nuneaton In my considered opinion, based on absolutely no facts or statistics...

    First Ever Cov Match You Saw ?

    Home to Ipswich in 1992, sat in the family stand. Chris Kiwomya opened the scoring I think, possibly a rebound after a save. We went 2-1 up and it finished 2-2. Peter Ndlovu ran riot down the left wing for most of the game. First away game was Villa in the mid 90's on a weeknight. Absolutely...

    Match Thread Cambridge United - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 16th Sep

    My thoughts... First half we were very lacklustre, after a good first 7 or 8 minutes. Jones looked the liveliest but his full back didn't help out by basically standing behind him, leaving him to come all the way off the touch line with two players to beat every time. We were bullied by their...

    Tim Fisher

    All the "heroes" who confronted and abused Tim Fisher today have done is spite themselves. Made themselves look like buffoons, whilst Tim Fisher walks calmly away as the better man.

    Tim Fisher

    It's just common decency in public though, don't you think? Or perhaps you think going up to complete strangers and giving them a load of abuse is acceptable behaviour.

    Tim Fisher

    Some absolute bullshit being written on here. The guy may be unpopular, but if city fans can't keep hold of themselves that they have to attack the guy (physically or verbally) when he's going home to his family then they need to re-evaluate their lives. Funny how the city fans are always in a...

    World Athletics Championship

    We did 10 x 800m reps with 60 secs rest between each one, this week. Up there with the hardest track sessions I've done. That is a big amount of hard work, and that distance off only 60secs is incredibly tough to maintain. Great session. I need to get up to a Parkrun or something and see how...

    McGregor vs Mayweather

    I know very little about him really. I've got his book "Tao of Jeet Kun Do" and it's a beautiful book, and interesting to see how he picked what he thought were the best bits from various styles (such as Muay Thai, Western Boxing, Kali, Wing Chun, etc" My honest opinion is that whilst he was...

    McGregor vs Mayweather

    I'm not against cross-discipline fights as a rule... they are a bit more common in Asia, for example Muay Thai fighters against Chinese Kung Fu fighters, or the whole K1 series (although with slightly diluted rules to prevent the Thai guys destroying everyone in the clinch with knees and...

    Sporting Contests Past Or Present ?

    I think that to an extent, class would outshine brute strength and fitness in most cases. But it's a close run thing. Example I'd give is Pirlo (my fave player of all time) who several times made Gerrard look like a bumbling Sunday player. And Pirlo fairly strolled round most of the time...

    World Athletics Championship

    Our session was 5 reps, with decreasing recovery between each rep. The recoveries between each rep were 2mins30, 2 mins, 1:30, 45secs... If you're very fit then getting through the first 3 reps and maintaining your pace should be fairly straightforward. But the final couple of reps are...

    World Athletics Championship

    Sounds like you're a decent enough runner... Are you in a club? I'm at Godiva Harriers but short distance races like that are not a speciality of mine. I consider 3 hours a short race! But Godiva is the best training in the local area, and they concentrate on track/field/cross country, so they...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Newport County Match Thread - Saturday 19th Aug

    Mr Newport... I'll try and communicate to you why people don't seem to understand the comment on the Newport forum, without resorting to insults or any "top banter".... Someone on your forum mentioned your coaches going to Nuneaton (fair enough), and mentioned that putting that on our forum...
