25 years of hurt over (7 Viewers)

Crying because that Bobby goal was pure tension and you can see all the players seem to have a weight lifted off their shoulders.

Crying because Lampard is human and you can see what this means to him and he’s like a proud dad to these players.

Thank you Mark Robins, the players that dragged us from L2 back to the Champ. Some iconic moments. Promotions, Wembley, play offs. You’re in the Coventry history books forever.

Thank you Doug for transforming the club off the field, bringing the standards back and getting our home back. Then the balls to appoint Lampard.

Thank you Frank for taking this group to the next level. This group could have gone the other way after the play off hurt against Sunderland. But your passion and class has guided us back to the Premier League!

25 fucking years of hurt!

WE ARE BACK

Like many others I was at Villa Park in 2001 and never thought it would take a quarter of a century to get back. Remember Richardson ‘we’ll enjoy next season’, ‘tour of league one’ etc and I think it started so well after signing Lee Hughes and beating Stockport 2-0

So proud to be a Sky Blue 🩵

From the absolute brink of not being a football club anymore to where we are today is just a dream .
I'm unashamedly in bits , never thought in those days on a hill in Northampton that we would be anywhere near where we are now .

It was meant to be ‘easy’ … but we’ve come back more united as a club than every before.

I'd love to see Fankaty Dabo at the CBS for the first home game.

I very rarely post anymore, but read the BS some people post, what an emotional RoletCoaster this has been, so proud to be a SkyBlue right now

Phenomenal achievement that really can't be underestimated.

We've been through so much to get here. For those of us who remember the PL first time around to a whole new generation experiencing it for the first time & to many others lost along the way.

So proud 🩵

25 years of hurt? I've enjoyed it. Had some great days out. Enjoy London

Some of it has been fun but there were some very dark days.

Lets be honest its been an amazing decade supporting this club , people see the hurt and it was hard but the last 10 years have frankly been tremendous on the pitch and along the way ive visited so many great football clubs with great fans all hoping to one day achieve what we just have , all with my dad and my kids .

Whatever happens next season im grateful for the last 10 years .. its been incredible

I love this football club

I was there too and genuinely believed that we’d bounce straight back. Then I had a realisation when we lost to Birmingham at highfield road that first season that this was going to be a long road. Never thought it would be this long though, or the downhill section would be so long and so deep. What a ride.

My dad died last year, he used to be a season ticket holder and was at the wolves game with the record breaking crowd. He would have loved to have seen this season.

We deserve this after Luton, Manchester Utd and Sunderland in three successive seasons

Dunno the last 10 years were fun… the 15 years prior to that were pure dross

I think when we lost at home to Wolves we may not find as easy as we thought.

This year’s squad and coaching staff have been beyond brilliant. But they’ve been able to build on the foundations laid by some legends from tougher years.

Some were better than others, but they all played their part. I’m thinking of you:

Mark Robins
Adi Viveash
Dennis Lawrence
Dave Boddy
Michael Doyle
Liam Kelly
Kyle McFadzean
Matty Godden
Max Biamou
Ben Wilson (still with us)
Jake Bidwell (ditto)
Jamie Allen (ditto)
Fankaty Dabo
Ben Sheaf
Carl Baker
Jordan Shipley
Tom Bayliss
Jack Grimmer
Jordan Willis
Marko Marosi
Michael Rose
Simon Moore
Dom Hyam
Jodi Jones
Callum O’Hare (yes, I know)
Gustavo Hamer (ditto)
Victor Gyokeres (ditto)

Telfer85 · 2026-04-18T01:32:05+0100

Just incredible feels so surreal even though we’ve been up there the whole season. It’s some achievement when you take a step back and analyse it. Still trying to take it all in that we are back in the big time. Quite the journey from watching us lose 6-2 to Yeovil and wondering if the club will survive. If anyone would have said to me that day we would be where we are tonight I would never have believed it.

Thank you to every player and every member of staff that has contributed to the rise of the last 8 years you all played your part big or small.

As fans that have been through every emotion possible…we deserve this. That sky blue song will be sung loud and proud next year against the teams we name in it once again…well maybe not Tottenham but we’ll see. PUSB
