Yeehaa! Made up for my poor performance in the last round with a Roy of the Rovers showing this time! Come on team Sky Blues Talk!

Given the blatant transparency of the bluff, I'm left wondering why they bothered. What did it achieve?

I'd imagine so. Hope they find the idiots who did it and recharge the bill to them. Many of the comments on this thread are referring to our club owners' rent dispute with the Ricoh Arena's landlords.

So the first Vuvuzela was blown in Coventry, not South Africa?! :guitar2: :laugh:

I see The Mirror put us down for a 3-0 defeat. I accept a win is a tough ask, but I do fancy us to score at least one...

Might as well get this started with some early team news: Friedel, Bale, Parker, Dempsey, Caulker and Assou-Ekotto will start, according to Sky Sports journalist Michael Bridge on Twitter. Bale. That'll be easy then... :whistle:

I was gutted for Borrows that he couldn't play that day. A legend of the '87 side who now, sadly, gets left out of articles like this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2256741/Coventry-City-wear-1987-FA-Cup-final-kit-v-Tottenham.html Wouldn't it be ace if our fans sang that...

Maybe you can spot yourself in this video someone on here posted a link to a while back! :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JRl_4X5G5E

For some reason I read that as Kilcline. :whistle:

There's a first time for everything! :p Any draws? At least if we can get you up to the Ricoh... :D (I had a quick look at your website but can't tell at a glance which teams were lower than you and when.) Thanks for the history on your kits by the way, I learned something there that I did...

Thanks for the goals McG. Good luck with the rest of your career. :wave:

According to the article "City had just more than 5,021 tickets". So 5,022 tickets?

Rovers now get the benefit of the car boot sale there (about £160,000 a year). The other sports clubs pay to use the ground, but the council noted they aren't "paying anything like the true cost of their usage" - i.e. the income doesn't meet the costs. Costs which Rovers have now taken on...

Market value? The market rate requires a market, with buyers and sellers. Simplified, the amount of supply from the sellers and the amount of demand from the buyers determines the price. The City of Coventry has effectively one seller of football stadiums capable of taking 10,000+ Sky Blues...

Ah, got you now. Funny how your team expressed itself back in the early days by looking up to other teams. Maybe one day Spurs will wear white and sky blue stripes in homage to a good team they played one day in May 1987! ;) :D

Oi! Don't go face palming me. Didn't you read my next line? I was thinking aloud and as I typed I remembered that Spurs had a dark creation a few years back which I acknowledged that I thought was brown. Still not as tasteful as our brown kit though, with its lovely wide white stripes and a...

We don't know for sure, but Sisu's end game might have nothing to do with a rent deal and might be about distressing ACL to pick up ownership of the stadium on the cheap. If they do get hold of it, do you trust Sisu completely to reunite the ground with the club and to not mortgage it, place a...

Nowt wrong with chocolate! :D I used to think it was daggy, but now I'm kinda proud of the fact that we're the only team I can think of that have dared to be so bold as to wear brown... Though come to think of it didn't you guys had a brown kit recently? See, we've long been at the forefront of...

Thanks. I was wondering whether Bale would get a start having only played in 3 of your last 6, whether Abebayor may start ahead of Defoe to give the latter a break before the former possibly heads off to the ACON and whether BAE might get some match time in to aid his return from injury?

Question for you Spurs fans. Who do you think will be in your starting 11 against us? Do you think AVB might rest a few regular first teamers?
