    Complete this video

    I can't tell you how much I love this video - literally sends shivers down my spine. Which memorable moments from the last 3 seasons would you now add to this video? I'd go for: -FA Cup away at MK; crowd celebrations after Max's goal -Notts County second leg; Max's goal that put us clear after...

    Video CLASSIC GAME | Coventry City v Arsenal, 26th December 1999

    I hear that Fernando. As you say the defence was not up to Premier elite standard and Strachan over 5 years did not fix that. Limited players like Telfer should also have been replaced; now if only we'd had someone like Robins during that era and not Strachan...we'd have been going places...

    First ever CCFC memories ?

    I wish I could help with that Sam; but way before my time. You make an interesting point on reserve games. In the early 80s as a season ticket holder, you could go and watch the reserves for free. I'd play junior football on Saturday mornings, and then dependent on the week-end go and watch...

    Fly on the wall football films/documentaries

    Daz - I couldn't agree more. Bleasdale looked out of his depth but bringing in Big Ron completely undermined his position and he lost it. Didn't Bleasdale walk out at half-time; it was like watching a drama that was way beyond all imagination except that it was real. Add Barry Fry into the...

    Fly on the wall football films/documentaries

    Some great suggestions above that I will watch. Big Ron Manager. In my opinion a terrible appointment for us. But the Big Ron Manager series is an absolute classic.

    That was me Travs! I did qualify that by saying that with specialised endurance training (i.e. over a period of time) and with the right race conditions on a flat course..... that 1.05 could be possible. So the suggestion was not that it was achievable tomorrow but that the potential was there.

    What a goal that was Brylowes and at a key moment. One of my top 2 goals of the season, only matched by Max's fantastic goal away - one of those perfect moments with Max coming back from a long term injury - and what a strike.

    I'd have to look at his other runs on strava and see if there's consistency - it's a good question Robbie.

    That's totally insane. Equivalent to a 1 hour 12 minute half marathon. As a footballer who has his training based on sharp sprints and quick recoveries and not endurance. Imagine what he could do with specialised endurance training and with race day conditions - he'd have to be looking at...

    Exactly where I found it - sorry for the late response lads - I was offline.

    Sunderland Til' I Die

    I was glued to the QPR documentary’The 4 Year Plan’ with the billionaire owners. There was incredible access and total chaos. Really worth watching for those who haven’t seen it.

    Brew XI - take the p*ss

    My best guess is that Telfs woke up and thought it was Strachan licking his bollocks as per the usual.

    Most Enjoyable away wins

    That Bodak goal was brilliant. I often think that Bodak would have been better suited to football today compared to his era. He was very skilful and technical and would be far better protected by refs today and benefit from better quality pitches. Not to mention the change in tactics to a...

    Most Enjoyable away wins

    MK Dons FA Cup - great shout that Fred. There's an iconic photo of the goal celebrations - anyone have it?

    Brew XI - take the p*ss

    Ian Wallace - had some real battles with the booze after he stopped playing but thankfully ok now Peter Reid - famously enjoyed drinks during working hours with his old mate "Inchy" Chris Coleman - we seem to hire managers who like the booze or perhaps we drive them to it Killer - lived on the...

    Favourite XI you’ve seen live

    Good shout to include Bennett in there. Very under rated in my view, even by City fans. He had everything, skill, pace, great delivery and a scorer of spectacular goals. I was invited to a match with my family back in the 1980s by a Luton player who had big Coventry connections (Luton vs. Cov...

    Favourite XI you’ve seen live

    Very nearly exactly my team - we must be a similar age! I would probably have Gordon Strachan in there (you could tell he was a very special player even at the age of 38) and switch Stewart Robson to he bench. Or go 3-5-2? Blyth Borrows Gillespie Peake Thomas Pearce Strachan Boateng Hunt...

    Comeback XI - take no returns

    I hear you Ring of Steel. But if we evaluated those players strictly on their contribution in their second spell with the club - Gillespie, Turner (hardly played due to injury), McAllister (should not have played but kept picking himself), Bigi (would be nowhere near our current midfield)...
