Dirtiest Coventry City Team (6 Viewers)

[jto123]

So striking how much better other teams are at the dark arts. Another reason why I think Ipswich and Boro will go up and not us, although this has been the case every season.

This could be my rose coloured tinted fan spectacles on, but I can’t think of any Coventry team who have ever nailed game management and dark arts (I’ve been supporting them since 98/99).

Can anybody think of a Cov team who have done it well? Honestly none spring to mind.

Just not in our DNA (Do Not Aggravate)

I remember us kicking the shit out of a very young Sunderland side a couple of seasons ago.

Don’t think we’ve had a manager who’s ever really instilled it

I guess more as a consistent style rather than a one off game

I reckon our cup winning side knew what they were doing.

Doug, we need to salvage the season - Get this on DVD in the club shop!

Lampard played under the master of the dark arts, and has learned absolutely f all from him.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Would have thought something nugget would have rubbed off. Instead he’s produced the most gutless team going.

We were pretty dirty at Norwich (who incidentally have been the emperors of shithousery for 15 years). Not that it did us much good though.

Different type of dirt …. But if Liam Daish was still playing he’d do a job CB for us now!

 

[Legia Sky Blue]

From what I've read we managed games well when we were promoted in the 60's. With George Curtis as captain I guess that's not surprising. That was a long time ago though!

 

[Bad Boy]

Always been too nice

Wilson is good at the shithousery. Always makes me laugh when he does it.

Must have had some pretty dirty sides in the 70s after playing at places like the Baseball Ground.
