It's not Leon Best, it's not Leon Clarke, and it's not Leon of Sparta. Post by: SkyBlueRuffian, Yesterday at 5:55 PM in forum: Coventry City General Chat

Don't agree. It's been one of the most entertaining threads here for a while. Not quite up to GMK standards - well, not yet ....

No, may still be possible mathematically to finish 18th.

The valid comparison for Burge and RCC is Reg Matthews. Made 111 appearances for City from 1950 to 1956 and is one of only five post-war players to be capped while playing for a Third Division club. I think he was still only 22 when he left to play for Chelsea. George Curtis made his debut as...

1934-5 we finished 3rd. 1935-6 we finished 1st. 1966-67 we finished 1st. So whats the betting that this year we'll match our finish in 1979-80 ....... which was 15th http://www.coventrycity-mad.co.uk/league_history/coventry_city/index.shtml

According to BBC City have had 61% possession and four shots (three on target) compared with Millwall's 39% possession and three shots (none on target). On that basis, we may be worse than Millwall today, but we've been way the better team in all the other games we've played this season.

On GMK I was Bantsvet. I always thought Hackney was a very decent sort. Unlike lesser varieties of Foxes, he seldom gloated. Now he doesn't need to. Just by coming on SBT, he ensures we feel humiliated still further. Just by being here. He doesn't need to say anything. But in fairness, my...

Did Chris Anderson fail to turn up for a meeting that he had agreed to attend? If he hadn't agreed to attend in the first place, why make anything of the fact that he didn't attend? And even if he had said he would attend - and is there actually any proof he did say he would? - he would still...

Eating?

Why shouldn't Wasps love Coventry? They've been gifted everything they could ever need!

Fleetwood's manager seems a bit of gem - he's won his last two games against top of the table sides and only lost 3 times in his last 15 league games. Why do we never get a manager like that?

Wow! - hope its a CB. A Reda Turner Mk2 ?

Oldham 1 Gillingham 1

That's right. But so is Samo right in saying that if two out of the three teams above us get the maximum points they can out of their remaining games, automatic promotion isn't in our hands. And after the first three games of the season, when we were top of the table, you might equally well...

We could win all of our games. Both Walsall and Burton couldn't. Simple!

Based on your figures, that's 1.63 points per game with Cole; 1.89 points without. Equivalent over the course of a season to 75 points (play-offs) instead of 87 points (possible top two). On the other hand, since Cole joined us in October, we've only lost one game - and that was the travesty...

No new signings today. :confused: It's just like the bad old days :(

Ian Gibson and Terry Yorath 50's

Doesn't really matter what one team's supporters think. Unless both sets of supporters agree there's a top rivalry, you can't really call it a proper rivalry. And out of 92 leagues, the supporters can only agree on 24 top rivalries. And two of those are Accrington - Morecombe and Reading -...

Still it's a bit like a see-saw. The quality of SBT has risen as GMK has sunk. Quite a few half-drowned rats - including me - have crawled aboard SBT hoping it would serve as a temporary CCFC lifeboat until GMK was raised and repaired. And now it feels like home. BTW I have it on good...
