    Well, You been giving it all the talk

    I've been in the Butchers Arms. Bewilderingly small place that was ground zero for the micropub revolution. 20 customers would probably be 2 or 3 more than comfortable. Wasn't that keen on the landlord but his beer was kept well. The butchers blocks for tables was something not likely to be seen...

    Happy 31st Anniversary!

    I must have missed that day. Did you never question why it was nicknamed Spew XI ?

    Happy 31st Anniversary!

    Even with winning the FA cup, how could you bring yourself to drink 'many, many pints of Brew XI ??? That was the biggest load of hoss piss produced in the Midlands then having the utter cheek to call it beer....

    parallel universe

    Yes. Peter Bodaks opening goal was an absolute screamer from way out on the right. Flight of the ball totally bamboozled the Watford keeper (Sherwood ?) as it corkscrewed through the air.

    Purity Bar

    For the 2nd consecutive week, my son and I had a beer in Dhillons brewery. Definitely a strange but enjoyable place to drink a pre-match beer. However, their prices are sky high so wont be making it a place of choice in future. Ist time, a pint of their own label stout & a bottle of coke was...

    1963, 55 years

    I certainly remember a top division 1-5 home defeat against them. I was in the West Stand and people were throwing their season tickets over the edge & onto the pitch at the end. Mind you, they had firstly removed the vouchers they needed for the rest of the season.... The likes of John Chidozi...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs Notts County Match Thread - Saturday 12th May

    For clarity, offside can still be called when the ball is played backwards if the player receiving the pass has moved from an offside position to get involved in the move. This wasnt the case with Forte last night.

    Penalty Decision Replay

    Everybody round me in block 20 couldn't believe the penalty being given but I haven't seen a replay yet. If the pubdits on Sky said it was nailed on then so be it. At least we're still in the tie although we need a better game plan next Friday.

    All this talk of crowds

    Charlton had 2 days less than us to sell tickets so it must have been a logistical nightmare. I dread to think howw CCFC would have coped with trying to sell out a whole stadium from scratch in 5 days flat.

    Our Record Over 2 Legs

    Not that any previous semi finals or two legged matches has the slightest bearing on this game coming up on Saturday. To quote John Motson in something he probably never said...' And Team B hasnt won at Team A for over 50 seasons. That must be on the minds of the players of team B....'

    That sounds spookily like ''me duck'' as spoken in the area North of Coventry.

    Cringe

    So a 7.30 k.o. next Saturday evening.... If we have an acute behaviour problem now based on a 3 o/c k.o., God knows what its going to be like with an additional good few hours pissing it up in the sun. Throw a poor result into the mix & the Ricoh area at around 9.30 will be rather worth avoiding...
