    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Yep. They won few games and their season completely disintegrated after they were knocked out of the FA cup in the quarter finals. Should we expect their right back to primarily help them win matches or stop them losing them?

    Preston lost fewer games than we did last season

    Kit WC FINAL 75-81 v 87-89

    Swear that’s Graham Oakey. Donal Murphy had a side parting and was not so easy on the eye. @oakey could no doubt confirm.

    Item 25/26 Coventry Kit

    Villa’s kit for the season just finished was a very different shade of claret than they’ve ever had before. Liverpool’s shade of red changed completely during the New Balance era.

    Loyalty Points Issue

    I’ve gone down by 100 to 1710; one of my cohorts has lost 400 points.

    Transfer Rumour Tyrhys Dolan

    Up to a point. There is another major difference between Gyökeres or Maddison and McNulty or Thomas - talent. I loved McNulty for the effort he put in during our league 2 season but he got a move to Championship wages for three years and while on loan at his childhood club got to play for...

    Kit WC QF Game 3

    Both of these kits are inferior versions of their type anyway. The original Hummel kit was too washed out (and just a template of Denmark’86 anyway), the 20-21 version is better. Meanwhile, everything about the 97-98 kit from sponsor, to white lines separating the stripes, to the club crest on...

    Transfer Rumour Tyrhys Dolan

    So now we’ve decided that there was nothing in the Dolan and Doyle rumours, can we call out the Toffolo nonsense too?

    Seven international minutes more than Norman. 😉

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    The goalkeeper ought to have done better with all three Sunderland goals.

    Kit WC QF Game 4

    The Ribero birdshit kit seemed awful at the time. Affection for it seems to have grown over time. I’ve voted for last years kit despite the white shorts! That’s how bad this QF is.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    To be fair that same individual was seen photographed walking around the Houses of Parliament carrying a Coventry shirt two weeks before he was confirmed as manager (curiously in exactly the same clothes that were used for his “welcome to Coventry” appointment photos where he was holding a shirt...

    Former Cov captain Sam Allardyce has the best record of all time as England manager.

    He might not need to leave us first

    Video Coventry City players arrive for FIRST DAY of pre-season 2025! 💯

    Yep you’re right: he’s 27 in most of the other scenes. And at the end Brad Collins is with him without the #40 on his kit too.

    MvE’s training kit doesn’t have a squad number!!!! 👀

    What was your mothers maiden name & the name of your first pet when you first started supporting Coventry?

    Huge chance that 1987 is a common pin. Actually that’s a plot in an Irvine Welsh novel I think, Rangers fans have their bank cards nicked and the robbers assume the pins are all set to 1207

    Yep. Stephen Froggat was going to be capped by Keegan but Summerbee intervened.

    Players who played for England after leaving CCFC. Go!

    Joe Mercer left us to become England (caretaker) manager. Dave Sexton and (god forbid) Aidy Boothroyd became U21 managers after being sacked by us. Lee Carsley was a Rep of Ireland player while with us but went on to coach the England u21s and full internationals.
