Hmm, I didn't read it that way. Happy to be proved wrong, but that struck me as a dig, as in, why all the fuss when just 400 died. Not comparable to Hamburg's loss.

Middle comment. Only 400 died. Oh, that's alright then.

Typically they are indeed having another bash at Jimmy Hill and of course we HAD to have cheated. Sad, pathetic little bunch aren't they.

Any chance of a cheeky little wild card selection for Phil Foden for the England World Cup squad? I see he played in the Champions League last night. If he can get some game time and impress a bit it might be worth taking him along. He seems supremely confident.

Exactly my argument, BBR. Have traveled far and wide through England and so many of the criticisms labelled against Coventry are clearly in evidence elsewhere.

Or on his verandah in Kenilworth, sipping Pimm's and wondering whether he should move or not.

Yeah, but to be fair to Sisu, they are not pretending to care about this city, or that of being a part of this city.

Thing is, we all know Coventry has been shit, but it has been trying to pull itself up by the bootstraps and obtain a positive image. We have the new water park, restaurants popping up everywhere. There are two more hotels being built and another cinema and now we also have a climbing wall and...

CT are saying we might get up to £30m from the government and the lottery. I love the arts. I love music and museums and theatre and film. This is going to be right up my street. Literally!

Can we merge the two threads, Nick. I notice one is in Off Topic and one is in Coventry City General Chat. I am posting in two threads and keep flicking between the two.

Live: UK City of Culture 2021 decision - IT IS COVENTRY!!!! First time I think I have ever heard chants of 'Coventry, Coventry' apart from at a football match. Apparently at the train station the announcer came on the tannoy and said 'Coventry have beaten Paisley, Stoke, Sunderland and...

Lovely to see the joy on people's faces.

I just walked the dog. Good job it was dark, cos I was grinning the whole way like a Cheshire cat. My mum is absolutely thrilled.

Lovely to hear someone in a position of prominence saying nice things about our city.

Just tell them we knew the result at 7.15, Houch.

Yep and we can expect many free events and concerts etc. I really cannot wait.

Well apparently, the result was announced at half past 7, but Coventry already knew the outcome at 7:15.
