    Ex-Cov Fantasy Team

    I presume Armstrong is still a Newcastle player.

    Who could/should you have supported?

    Notts County for me too. My Dad is from Nottingham & grew up watching Tommy Lawton play for them. Lived in Nottingham for a bit & did go & watch them a few times too. This also explains why I dislike Forest more than Villa/ Leicester etc.

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    You really are a sanctimonious moron. You are also a hypocrite who gladly followed our football club to another town, but is outraged when others do the same elsewhere. Shame you weren't so vocal when your beloved SISU sent 'our' club over the cliff to the all time low we find ourselves in now...

    How much would promotion cost?

    Sign John Akinde & I see us getting promoted. Yes he would cost a transfer fee, but his salary at Barnet is hardly likely to break the bank. It means speculating a little, but the bigger crowds we would get if we knock in a few more goals & challenge at the business end of the season would...

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    I'm no fan of Wasps, have never been to watch them & can't imagine I ever will. However, rugby and its followers are completely different to football supporters and should not be judged by our own standards of partisan loyalty to our club. I get the impression their followers are more interested...

    Match Thread Port Vale - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 26th Dec

    We got caught into playing the game Port Vale wanted. The pitch didn't help matters & neither did the ref who let a lot of pushing & shoving go, particularly their central defenders on McNulty & Biamou who as a result just couldn't get in the game. Watching the game I thought it was Beavon who...

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    I agree with your sentiment but plenty of Cov people (majority probably) that are into football choose other teams over CCFC. Why would rugby be any different?

    McWankty

    Kevin Drinkell failed to score in his last 22 games for us. What was worse was that we paid £1 million for him!!

    Hypothetical January Transfer Thread

    I notice John Akinde is fit again and playing for Barnet, and quickly getting amongst the goals. He always scores goals at this level despite playing for a mid/ low level team & while I know it would involve a transfer fee of some kind, I really think it would make a big statement to both our...

    Fa Cup Draw Thread

    Football fans have long memories!! It was 1980 according to this. The 10 worst examples of footballers behaving badly | Sport | The Observer, which ties in with how I remember it. Half my family are from Nottingham & my first away game was last game of the season at Forest in 1981. Shilton got...

    Fa Cup Draw Thread

    No that was in his Forest time. I'll be surprised if our match is picked for TV, & I reckon the crowd could be 15,000+, but I don't think they are a big enough draw for a 25,000 crowd.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Boreham Wood Match Thread - Sunday 3rd Dec

    I first had a season ticket in 1978. No recollection of cup games ever being free as part of it.

    Having seen how you put the blinkers on when posters disagree with you I know I am wasting my time arguing but I'll give it one go. Most of those that don't go blame SISU either for the Northampton fiasco, letting Wasps get the Ricoh or overseeing our fall into this god awful league. None are...

    Crowd today

    I probably know about 100 people that would regard themselves as Cov fans, but I can count on one hand those that go to games at the moment. While many of those that don't go will quote SISU's mismanagement as a reason not to go I've never heard any of them actually say they are part of a NOPM...

    Beavon

    Anyone remember Kevin Drinkell? I'm sure he went his 2nd season with us without scoring a single goal despite having players around him like Regis, Speedie, Gallacher & Smith who set up plenty of goals between them. Ironic thing was he scored loads of goals everywhere else he played.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Crawley Town Match Thread - Saturday 25th Nov

    You are joking? Time wasting is chronic, particularly so in this league and is the biggest driver in making games so dull. It has a much bigger impact on the game as a spectacle than diving or poor refs. Yes you want your team to win, but sport is supposed to be about entertainment, which can...

    Crowd today

    The quality of football has to be a big effect on our crowds. I didn't think there would be much of a gap between League 1 & League 2 but I was wrong. Luton seem the only team that aren't negatively set up. The time wasting tactics employed by the likes of Crawley right from the kick off just...
