    Wimbledon away ?

    Already bought train tickets, will be my First game of the season. Will take it on the chin if I don’t get a ticket, happy to sit in the home end for this one.

    Bids for McNulty / McNulty to Reading

    I know hence on my original post I’ve credited Robin’s coaching which clearly gets the best out of most of our players. I will do, I’m just struggling to see how this is good business but I do recognise the club did what they could to keep him with getting promoted to L1, a new contract etc.

    Bids for McNulty / McNulty to Reading

    I agree with a chunk of this but there’s a couple of areas I don’t, but that’s the fun of forums right?! Goalscorers, I understand the point but you either score 20 goals in a season or you don’t. As much as I rated the others, McNulty, Armstrong and Wilson are the only ones that actually have...

    Bids for McNulty / McNulty to Reading

    I’m not saying he wasn’t. I’m saying we’re not going to get a like for like replacement for McNulty, ready to go and score goals, on a free transfer. Robins could well find another gem, who he can turn good like McNulty but that takes time and we all know that in football that’s in short...

    Bids for McNulty / McNulty to Reading

    Isn’t that exactly what we were told after we sold Maddison? What was that money reinvested in- Darius Henderson and Stephen Hunt? I’m not saying everything is about SISU - I’m being realistic and in the last 6/7 years next to no money from player sales has been put towards transfer funds...

    Bids for McNulty / McNulty to Reading

    Do we replace them? McNulty is only the third 20+ goal a season striker we have had since we got relegated from the Premier League 17 years ago and only the 2nd we’ve actually owned!! At Coventry City we seem to have low standards when it comes to strikers - whereby 15 goals a season is...

    Is a new Goalkeeper a priority

    Big Barry was probably a founding member of the 'McNulty is fucking shit' brigade. I'll never forget the way McNulty was vilified last season, anyone with any basic knowledge of football, even your average Bazza, could see McNulty was getting closer and closer and it was only a matter of time...

    Throwing Pints in the air to celebrate?

    So I don't bore you with a really long reply outlining all the terms and conditions. Now: I'm in the Travel Club, pay £65 every two years and then you enter the ballot for tickets. You build up points (caps) the more games you go, which gives you more chance/opportunity of getting tickets and...

    Is this the most exciting pre-season EVER?

    You need to take the half glass full outlook!!!! Relegation back to League 2 might be on the cards! Promotion to the Championship might be on the cards! We might be kicked out of The Ricoh by Wasps! We might move in at Wembley now that's free! Mark Robins Might decide to have a second crack at...

    Throwing Pints in the air to celebrate?

    I was in Lens in the Stadium for the Wales game - the beer in the ground was 0.5% UEFA Approved Carlsberg, so was well worth chucking in the air!!

    Throwing Pints in the air to celebrate?

    At England, the stag do brigade came in just before Euro 2016! Have you noticed some of this being copied over at City away games? Wish I was going to Kaliningrad but was priced out of it, which is a shame after I managed Dortmund, Glasgow and Amsterdam.

    Armstrong, Murphy, Maddison, Kent

    Oggy has to take the blame for that (again)....

    Maddison

    I don't get the Social Media outrage to Maddison going to Leicester. He's no longer a Coventry City player and hasn't been for 2 and a half years. Like I said earlier on this thread, it's not like he will ever play for us again, unless it's when he's 37 looking for a last pay day. A Norwich...

    How many England fans ?

    This 2000 reported is purely sales to Travel club members, of which there’s only 6k-7k anyway. The 2000 figure doesn’t include those who bought tickets directly from UEFA. This happens all the time at tournaments, like at Euro 2016 most stadiums were 60-70% England fans, despite there only being...

    Maddison

    I'm not bothered if he goes to Leicester - I want him to go to the biggest bidder so we get as big a cut as possible. The outrage on the Cov Fans Forum on him going to Leicester is bizarre - Maddison is never going to play for us again...unless it's when he's 37 and looking for one last payday.

    New Signing about to be announced - Jonson Clarke-Harris

    Met him in the colly on that famous Monday, he said he was hoping to be signed up in the next few weeks and he had enjoyed his time with the team! Got a picture with him and all! I think he’s brought something else to us since he’s joined and he’s still young and has lots that Robins can...

    Under the Radar

    Agreed. Compare this strategy to that of Mogga’s where he decided we would wait until the Premier League teams had decided their 25 man squad by Mid-July in the hope for some loans....
