    My Coventry player quiz

    Surprisingly not. I thought the same as you, and remember always thinking that we never did well in front of the cameras. Anyhow 25 wins, 18 draws and 18 losses. Pretty good considering we were a lower half team for the majority of that time period.

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

    It was around the same time, not sure if it was the next game though. Your memory is shocking though as we beat Villa. That game was probably Keane and Roussel's best performance together.

    My Coventry player quiz

    Here's another random question - Before the introduction of the Premier League (1966 - 1991) we featured in Match of the Day highlights on 61 occasions. Did we have more wins, losses or draws in those games?

    My Coventry player quiz

    Also not sure Murphy had a fight with Kenny Burns as such, rather than Murphy just kicked him in the balls and laid him flat out :)

    Having a sort out

    Was that posted by Nick? I'm pretty sure I remember him being a fan of McBean (not so sure about Sterry and Burge though).

    Coronavirus (CCFC Related)

    So to do this and avoid points penalties they would need 75% of members to agree to it. Is that 75% of Championship Clubs or 75% of all EFL teams? Either way I don't see how they could get it agreed. If just 7 teams in the Championship vote against Group Administration it fails - Any teams...

    A picture says a thousand words

    .......... but that's the whole point. You want some random person chosen by the EFL to decide our fate. That person might take a contrary view to ourselves, see some arbitrary factor like goal difference, where a few other teams are ahead of us, and think that we had a flukey season so far and...

    RIP Norman Hunter

    Was Bobby Moore World Class? I know he was our World Cup winning captain, but he played most of his career at West Ham as part of a fairly porous defence. Not sure I actually ever saw him live, if I did it would have been at the end of his career anyway, but interested to know what the old...

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

    Agreed. His fall out with Strachan was definitely a factor in our relegation from the Prem.

    Fly on the wall football films/documentaries

    Watched 'Graham Taylor: An Impossible Job', the other day. Saw it when it first came out, but was good to watch again. I then watched 'Mike Bassett England Manager' which is obviously a parody of the former, which I again hadn't watched for years, but was good to watch again.

    A picture says a thousand words

    No, I want to see this season finished with matters decided on the pitch, where they should be decided, not off them, and regardless of how long that might take. In your scenario, would you accept the EFL/ Premier led pools panel decision, if it resulted in other teams finishing above us and us...

    A picture says a thousand words

    Because it's completely random! You're as well having a computer simulated game if you want to do this (which is also ridiculous). All ex Pro's decisions would be subject to their bias towards their old teams and against their rivals. How would we feel with a panel including ex Sunderland or...

    RIP Norman Hunter

    During this lockdown I've started watching a lot of old football clips on youtube. From 1970 onwards there are all the goals from each season captured by ITV. Each season is covered in about 90 minutes, and I've just got to the end of 1973/74 season. It includes the Star Soccer Midlands games...

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

    The loss of Keane and McAllister had a huge impact on the team the following season unfortunately

    A picture says a thousand words

    I've seen a few others mention this type of thing, but surely you're on the wind up Houch? Of all the ideas of how to sort this out, this is up there with the most ridiculous.

    Several EFL Clubs “days away from going bust”

    How does cancelling the season help clubs in financial trouble? Surely these clubs would rather restart the season, so as to bring some much needed income in.

    First ever CCFC memories ?

    Lee Dixon's own goal at Highbury was a bit special :)

    Match Thread Blackpool vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 18th Apr

    So many of our greatest memories of following City are not only connected to the football, but to the sharing of those days with our support. If you think of the Wolves promotion game, the last gasp relegation escapes, 1987 and our trips to Wembley, the play off game at Notts County etc, all...

    Chants of old...And new

    Covkid - no the film is recent, from last year. It colourized old WW1 footage and used lip readers to translate the Tommy's words captured on film ,which they then dubbed over it. Absolutely brilliant film making, and makes it really come to life. I watched it in Warsaw last Summer, and the...

    Gael Bigirimana on the Nii Lamptey Show

    I really don't get the unbridled hatred some of our fans have towards him. He isn't good enough to play for us right now, but he isn't playing for us, so what's the problem? He was a promising player when he first came into our team in the Championship as a 17 year old, which is why Newcastle...
