    Why Coventry?

    Yep, since 1952 -- I'm now 70 approaching 71. (also used to sneak in !). Eddie Brown was my hero !!!!

    Get real !

    Note I said SOME of our supporters are doom and gloom ! Most now are realistic and accept that it is going to take more than this season to sort out the sh*t from previous bad management. This doesn't mean to say we shouldn't aim to get as high as possible up the table... MR is doing a...

    Coventry City Mad

    I've stopped visting Coventry City Mad cos I'm pi***ed off with being bombarded with adverts, some of which cover some of the contents. Sorry Kev, but it's a pain ! Anyone else think the same ?

    Get real !

    Some supporters get all doom and gloom after a defeat or a draw at home against a worse team than us. FACT -- we are not going to win every match we play -- name one team that does. The important thing is that we win, or draw, more than we lose. This is happening now -- live in the NOW... the...

    Pompey match predictions

    1 - 1 draw... don't get too carried away or it will all be doom and gloom again Saturday night !

    Maybe an exciting season after all ?

    Not getting carried away by any means, but carry on like this under MR we could be close to the play offs come March next year. Just imagine the last day of the season and a "must win" game to get into the plays offs. It's going to be much harder to get nearer to the top than it is to rise away...

    Where will we finish???

    Thanks for doing this -- it's 3 steps forward, 2 steps back -- but is steady progress. I think we could make the play-offs if this trend continues. MR is doing a fine job/

    Highfield Road stand question?

    The old Sky Blue stand was fab ! Benches to sit on and cushions they handed out ! Mostly timber, but so much atmosphere !

    Iain Jamieson

    I can remember him playing when I used to up to Highfield Road in the mid - 50's ! A brilliant wing-half, formed a mid field of 3 - Iain Jamieson, Martin McDonald and Noel Simpson. Times have changed, as a young lad (12 years old) I used to love my Saturdays watching CCFC in the 1950's. No...

    Robins Rating.......Fans View ?

    Yes, very pleased with him so far... he doesn't bull-shit, tells us, and the players, how it is. Tells us it is a huge task to turn it round and asks us to be patient. Playing crap, but this is a results business and so far, results have been OK, not brilliant, but as much as we could expect...

    last nine games

    Some people don't appreciate there is no "quick fix" to the shit we are in... it's going to a long hard slog.. there will be no overnight miracles. We are not playing well, but MR (unlike AT) knows this and doesn't bull-shit.

    The worst since I started supporting CCFC in 1952

    I can remember our mid-field from 60 years ago as if it was yesterday -- Iain Jamieson, Martin McDonald, Noel Simpson -- how many of you will remember today's mid-field in 60 years time ? (Not to mention Gordon Nutt - as good as Ronnie Rees, Reg Matthews - the best goalkeeper ever to play for...

    The worst since I started supporting CCFC in 1952

    "We'll Fight Till The Game Is Won" -- what a joke ! Fight ? They don't know the meaning of the word. Yep, George Curtis, Mick Kearns, Lol Harvey -- all fighters. Colin Stein in latter years was a fighter !

    The worst since I started supporting CCFC in 1952

    Even when we got relegated to Div 4 (Now Div 3) it was because we finished in the bottom half of Div 3 (South) not because we finsished in the bottom 4. Having said that, I really enjoyed watching CCFC play in Div 3 (South)... we were "The Bants" (Banthams) or "The Old 5" in those days and...

    Robins Interview?

    I'll give 100% support when the players give 100% effort.... until then.... why expect the supporters to give 100% committment when the players are not ? Works both ways !

    Never thought I would do it

    I live nearer to Cheltenham (and Forest Green) than Coventry. Cheltenham, a winning team built on a shoe string with gates of around 3,000. Old fashioned small ground, lots of ambience -- challenging for promotion to Div 1. Would give our toss pot of a team a run for it's money! God, I'm...

    Mark Robins asks City Fans to be patient

    Exactly what I was saying in my post yesterday -- "Realism at last" (why is it that one thread topic can completely change into another topic so quickly!)

    Realism at last !

    At last I feel that we are are accepting that there is no "quick fix" to the damage that has been done over the past few years and we now have a Manager who tells us the truth - and it's so refreshing. Whilst winning games and getting promoted should always be a priority, Mark Robbins correctly...
