I vaguely remember is being Championship (Div 2) teams, but it must have at one time been lower down or something because It's the biggest trophy Sutton Utd have ever won and they've never escaped non-league football.

I cannot believe this if it is only on the Transfer Rumours website. But if there were anything in it, the family could afford to redevelop the whole area as they are loaded: http://www.arabianbusiness.com/saudi-rich-list-2011-406534.html?view=profile&itemid=406477

Did you know that in the last 33 years Cov are the joint eighth best team at progressing to the last 32 or further of the FA Cup? We have progressed to the fourth round or later 22 times since 1980-81, a figure which is matched by Man City and Villa. Only Tottenham, Man United, Chelsea...

It could be a tad embarrassing if we sell out the Ricoh for a game against Crewe then get kicked out for non-payment of rent. Hopefully this happy atmosphere will contribute to a deal getting done.

I agree that Newcastle - Hereford game is the king of cup upsets. I was just comparing the two games being discussed, not the entire history of giant killings. The Newcastle - Hereford game demonstrates that the very biggest upsets (like Sutton) don't depart quickly from the public's memory, but...

Goals conceded is a bigger problem than goals scored. We've scored in 91 per cent of our league games since Robins took over, but conceded in 78 per cent. So more clean sheets should see us record more wins. Having said that, the only games where we haven't scored in the league since Robins...

The record has gone, but I think Sutton will still be considered the bigger upset sadly. Sutton were a real non-league side with a ground that was just a metal bar around most of the pitch. Luton should be at least a League 1 club, but are languishing beneath their station. Luton have been FA...

I hope we put in a good performance to encourage people to keep coming back.

Fair play, at least a few of their fans are able to laugh at themselves. Here's a few of the jokes they've posted on their own forum: I bought a claret and blue sledge today, never seen anything go down hill so fast! "Master!" cries the genie, "I can grant you any wish you want, Tell...

It gave me a giggle. I don't care two hoots if it's real or not. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I can see this becoming our Poznan: 20,000+ fans at the Crewe game waving imaginary lassoes/ real scarves and singing Hey Edjenguele if he scores. Not sure how I'd feel about that (the song I mean, not Edge scoring as that would obviously be ace).

I dunno Houch, that Portsmouth thread is as slippery as an eel. It wouldn't be a total shock though - the field is open and at the current rate this thread does seem to have the power to generate many more responses.

Andy Blair "duped" by "by a lad he had treated like his own son," CT reports. http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/2013/01/25/coventry-city-hero-andy-blair-duped-of-thousands-by-lad-he-treated-like-son-92746-32676915/ (Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere, but I don't...

People who moan about everything... ;)

One of their fans says the ticket offices are saying Crewe get 6,000 and they can buy walk up. It sounds like they might find that number slashed if they don't start buying soon. No wonder their ticket office thinks everyone calling up for tickets is from Cov...

Probably needs a bit of work, but to the tune of la Marseillaise (like Ooh aah Cantona) something along the lines of: Ooh Edj-enguele, Ooh Edj-enguele, il est un homme, géant français!

And if you'd gone back one earlier you get Eric Black, who was a striker. I think his reign was the last time I felt this optimistic as a Cov fan.

Haing seen Covstu's post about Pompey possibly being kicked out of the league if they don't exit administration by the end of the season, I was searching for any news articles on that and came across this Sun story from a couple of weeks back...
