I was very torn between them and Norwich in the Cup this month-very tough call for me (the ex is a Norwich fan)
We might have to 'God bless them across the M69.'
Looking at their fixtures they have to play Doncaster, Forest, Bristol, Millwall, Peterborough and Ipswich.
Any City fan ever prayed for a Leshtur victory in any match ever?
I don't hate them.
Do want them to lose every match though.

Apart from these ones?
If Svennis had stuck around to spunk more millions on dross like Matt Mills, you may have got your wish.Well yes, there's the dilemma. :thinking about:
:thinking about:
Maybe they can win all these games and then go into administration.

Matt Mills was a top player at Reading.
I'm struggling to believe this to be honest. Their fans who came here when they easily turned us over seemed to be under the impression he was... now, what was that song? Oh yes, 'f***ing useless'. He's been complete and utter dogshite from minute one of his time here. As I've previously said on an LCFC forum (not Foxestalk; the good one) he can't pass, either cannot or will not communicate, can't read the game, doesn't look where he's putting the ball, and is a petulant, arrogant, dirty player who fails to learn from his mistakes. He's no more or less than a competent, basic professional footballer, the standard of which can be found in the starting line up of any League Two club. Certainly not four million quid's worth of defender and absolutely not a captain. He will never, ever play in the Premier League unless by extraordinary good fortune. In short, he is shit.Matt Mills was a top player at Reading.
There are few certainties in life:
1. Death
2. Taxes
3. In the lead up to to Cov-Leicester game a load dullards will feel the need to tell everyone they don't care and that it isn't a proper rivalry.
Two large one-team cities just 20 odd miles from each other - of course it will matter to some people because they will work with and live next door to fans of the other club. Not everyone will care, fine. But why not just let those of us who do give a toss have a bit banter without all the whining about what constitutes a proper football rivalry?

Does this really deserve 8 pages? You can tell the mental age of both sets of fans who laughingly refer to this game as a rivalry.
Can we not just rid ourselves of this sky sports style M69 Derby and go back to hating the teams we hated before we were relegated. This is just fecking embarrassing.
I suspect the difference is the capacity to learn and improve. Barnett evidently has it, Mills has shown he patently does not. He's all but admitted it. Even if Mills does go out on loan, the club he goes to will cotton on immediately and he'll be back with us at the end of the season, and we'll be stuck with him until his £55 million a week contract runs out in June 2059.Yeah we thought the same about Leon Barnett.......
Honestly, I'll be astonished if he's even in the stadium on Saturday. What is clear is he and Pearson have had a falling out and Mills is in the cold. NP has, hopefully, worked out how depressingly crap he is. Morgan and St Ledger again please Nige.And from what blue maniac says.... PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE let Matt Mills be playing!

He's been in Africa. Came off the bench at D**by last week for a cameo at right back. Did his usual trick of steaming up the pitch with the ball, leaving a massive hole at the back, before losing possession.What's happened to Bamba?
Shame about Mills, we could really do with catching a break!
Much, much better than MillsWait, Wes Morgan's going to be playing?He was awful when we played Forest
How has he been for you boys?
Just goes to show that this pathetic line can come from a Cov fan as much as a Leicester fan.
Just because you don't see it as a rivalry, doesn't mean anyone else who dares to see it differently is Laughable.
Very childish view.
As said before, a city about 20miles from Cov who have a football team playing in the same league as ours and it's not a rival ?
For me that is a rival, but if you don't then fine, but if others do then let it be and grow up FFS.

Much, much better than Millsstrong, sensible, composed. Knows his limits. He's built like a tank and he eats opposition forwards. I wasn't that excited when we'd signed him, but he's settled pretty well.

Totally agreeLocal points scoring aside for a moment and I've no axe to find with Leicester. As already discussed both City's are of similar size, yet traditionally Leicester do tend to get larger attendances. I don't think this is any reflection on Leicester fans being *better* in any way or Cov's being worse. I can only think that this is more a reflection of the relative movement of the 2 sides up and down the leagues. Leicester for example have experienced a more *turbulent* recent history with plenty of movement. Although this means relegation it also means they have spent time at the top of some divisions. Perhaps generating excitement that attracts fans in the possibility of more to come . Coventry on the other hand have been more consistent, but have not had any league success in the past 40 or so yrs, and are currently the Leagues (all 92) worst performers in terms of relative league position for the last 40 yrs.
The words *long* and *suffering* are not over used here. I think given a similar history I would defy and group of supporters to react any differently to ours. In fact I'm amazed anyone still turns up at all.
was leicester a big game when we were in prem? no
is it a big name now? yes
its a rivalry,simple as,people on both sides think they are cool to mock it,but i am glad i hate a team enough to follow their results after ours lol,it makes them games extra special
there bigger rivals than villa thats for sure.
