    Female Rock Singers

    I read about this the other day. To borrow a phrase from one of my old uni lectuters "a loaf of tosh". A lot of bands I'm in to are female fronted. For example, a band called Delain. They're from Holland and their live show is immense. The last time they played Birmingham the place was so...

    Love snow

    Well, turns out he did deliver it! Poor chap had 19 to do around here and out towards Ross . We were his first. He said he'll be out till after midnight making drops. Then he has a long drive back to Bristol to look forward to....

    Love snow

    The Gigs Thread

    Went to see Maiden at the NIA last summer. Was a bit confused because the card I purchased the tickets on had expired and been cut up. This confusion escalated more when I actually received a paper ticket, despite it being ticketless. Nobody we spoke to seemed to know eexactly what was supposed...

    Jones Injury

    Our luck with injuries is absolutely ridiculous. A couple of seasons ago we couldn't keep a centre back pairing together because they always seem to get injured. We lost Andreu early this season, now we've lost Jones for the season. We always get luck, virtually all of it bad.

    Chris Coleman

    I'd counter with it was Gary Speed who laid the foundations for Wales success. Coleman inherited that squad. Coleman is without doubt high up on the list of the worst managers I've seen at City. Dour, boring football that got nowhere near the best out of the squad he had. If it hadn't been for...

    20 years ago today since....

    Dublin was such a talisman. I don't think it's an overstatement to say without him, we'd have gone down sooner. When you look at it, we had a lot of good attacking options over those last few top flight seasons. Dublin, Huckerby, Whelan, Keane. If only we'd had a better defence to match our...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Maidenhead United Match Thread - Sunday 5th Nov

    The kind of question that we see week in week out on places like Sky Sports News, in the post match interviews. If they have mastered being able to ask it, it can't be hard for our lot to do.

    Photography thread

    Wish I could get a picture of any kind of animal that good! I gave up trying in the end. No matter how quiet, how slowly I moved, the minute I pointed the bloody lens at them, they were off! I can only think the animals out here in the Forest of Dean are of the camera shy variety......

    Match Thread Luton Town - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 28th Oct

    Yes! Get in! Another team up at the top seen off! Now if only we can start beating the likes of Forest Green we might get something out of this season! Got to be more consistent now.

    Dale Evans .......

    I'd love to see it happen. I'd be absolutely overjoyed to get new owners. BUT, there's something that's holding me back from being able to. Maybe it's the experience of what's happened before with rumoured takeovers. We hear a lot from people, but nothing ever happens. I'd absolutely love to see...

    Coventry Airport

    Interesting fact (or not...) 84 was my cadet squadron too. In fact, I took part in the parade when it was renamed 84 (Coventry Airport) Squadron. All day we were told to watch out for officers and salute. I got put on duty guiding people to the car park. As I was doing just that, bloody wing...

    What an embarrassment!!

    That's what worries me, Otis. I worry this might end up being our only chance to go up before we get into the usual downward spiral. And with Christmas drawing closer, we simply cannot afford our usual second half of the season slump.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Forest Green Rovers Match Thread - Tuesday 17th Oct

    Here's what I can't get. Year after year, we'll go and beat the apparently better teams of whatever league we play in. Then we go and blow it against the absolute no mark teams. The ones we SHOULD be able to beat. It's literally been that way as long as I can remember being a fan. And no matter...

    First Ever Cov Match You Saw ?

    Home game against Southampton in the 1994/95 season. I was probably 4. It can't have been a very good game, because the only things I remember are we lost and I cheered when both teams scored. Actually, describing that one game sums up being a City fan for most of my life!

    Injuries

    I know injuries are part and parcel of the game, but we always seem to have such rotten luck with them. Wasn't it a couple of seasons ago where it seemed every CB we had was out injured at some point? I don't know, it just seems like our record with injuries is pretty rotten.

    Match Thread Grimsby Town - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 12th Aug

    That's how it looked to me. Telling the keeper it was coming back to him for an upfield punt, stay put. He just made a complete balls up of it then kicked up a fuss to hide his blushes.

    Match Thread Grimsby Town - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 12th Aug

    I caught the video of the goal earlier in this thread. What a bizarre turn of events! Clearly he'd taken it, and it was one of the worst attempts at a pass back I think I've ever seen! Good win again, seems we were the better team again today overall. Glad to get a win against Slade, we always...

    Kit Launch Q and A Match Thread

    I have to say the home kit is a massive improvenent on last years effort. Having seen it in person I like it even more. I'm glad to see us back in a predominantly sky blue kit. That's who we're meant to be, after all! The away kit however is not for me. Just not a fan at all. I don't like grey...
