    RIP OldSkyBlue58

    Thats shocking. Easily one of the most informative members of the forum. We may bicker but in some ways we are a family and this feels like a loss for us all. Very sad.

    Grimsby Town

    Well the night we beat Man City 4-3 with a David Thompson screamer just about everybody thought we’d be the two teams to go up automatically!

    Grimsby Town

    I wondered at the time if that was true then why didn’t he use that fiendish tactic away at Liverpool or Chelsea and only field 9 players.

    A cat could have done a better job than Thorn and Slade.

    Mark Robins 300 games

    Well I go back as far as Noel Cantwell. He took us to 6th in the top flight and Europe. Gordon Milne 7th, George and John won the FA Cup. Jimmy Hill so far has to be our greatest ever manager but if Mark Robins takes us to the Premier League given what he started with and what he’s had to...

    Home v Sunderland 12.30, Sky, £33 a ticket

    I think their issue with Jimmy Hill is not so much the late kick off but the fact that when their game at Everton ended we all knew that if our result stayed at 2-2 then both Bristol City and ourselves were safe. So a truce was called and neither side tried until the final whistle. They blame...

    1980/81 - Coventry v West Ham (League Cup Semi 1st Leg - 27.1.81

    The Watford game was unreal. 5-0 wasn’t it? Forget which goal it was but I was swept from the middle of the West End to somewhere near the corner flag!

    Wasn't just bondholders they shafted though, was it?

    Wasps signs have actually gone!!

    They are still deluding themselves that it was only a tiny minority of locals that detested them. Maybe a tiny minority of the whole population but a very healthy majority of fans of the City or Cov.

    1980/81 - Coventry v West Ham (League Cup Semi 1st Leg - 27.1.81

    That away game was well moody! God knows what it would have been like if we’d won.

    Was Strachen a Pointless Manager?

    We had some bad luck to be fair. First Inter came in for Robbie Keane. Then Bellamy should have been prolific but wasn’t. Then his replacement Lee Hughes should have been prolific but wasn’t (as well as being a scumbag). Then Celtic came for Hartson. Then the ITV deal went sour.

    Was Strachen a Pointless Manager?

    You had to be at that Middlesbrough game to believe it. The most arrogant refusal to do the bleeding obvious I think I will ever see!

    Was Strachen a Pointless Manager?

    Joe Mercer, unsurprisingly perhaps. Very good but short lived spell before Milne took over. Roland Nillson, Gary McAllister? Worst would be Slade, Thorn and Venus. Strachan was far too stubborn.

    Brilliant player from the days when Cov ruled English rugby.

    Match Thread Wrexham FA Cup match

    Well I have often said that in a cup competition Coventry City are capable of losing to the Southam and District Girls Under 13s 3rd team. And when we are subject to a giant killing we don’t just lose narrowly or unluckily, like everyone else does, we tend to get outclassed. So the prospect of...

    I know, its about the same as mine. They probably don’t have a 23 year old stepson who spends 26 hours a day on the Xbox with every light in his room blazing.
