It's just turning the phrase on its head and making it something positive though.
I think it really fits well. It's a well-known phrase and we are just claiming it as our own. Sent to Coventry to do a job for us and boy has he done it.
It's not quite "We are Millwall, no-one likes us", but it...
We have stopped entirely talking about George Floyd though and hardly a single mention of BLM. It's seemingly turning into a Labour /Tory /party thing again.
They are obviously connected, but we have gone way, way off track.
Another thread hijacked.
Supposed to be a thread about George Floyd, but has now descended into party politics yet again and the difference between communism, Marxism and socialism.
Not so keen on the Specials one. Has no relevance to Robins. If you use it in terms of Robins then "The Specials One" makes no sense to my mind. Two tone flag and Specials and everyone is just gong to think "Specials"
Sent to Coventry is the best one in my opinion .
That's the point though isn't it.
A reversal of the saying. The fact we would be passing the flag around shows that it is through our own volition. It works perfectly.
Sent to Coventry and he turned the negative into a success and therefore the saying, on its head.
I can't see many people mentioning Jamie Allen. Lots of talk of Walsh and Hamer, but very little on Allen.
Does he look like he might be okay at Championship level?
My tenpence worth
I like "Sent to Coventry." Well known phrase up and down the country. It does have some negative connotation though, so why not a simple play on words.
"Heaven sent to Coventry"
And give him a halo.
