Getting beat 3-0 by the mighty Tranmere as they knocked the ball around, showboated did plenty of tricks crowd were cheering did the odd ole city were chasing shadows, when webster & clarke would win the ball back only to give it straight back to them. Tranmere fans were laughing at our players.
We were a premier league team then in the season we were called the entertainers in the PL this follows defeats to the mighty Notts county and carlisle, give me October 99 position over this any time
How can it be worse than losing 5-1 as a Premier League Team to them?
hahaha even by your standards that ranks as a seriously mug question.
Does it? So you basically believe in a strategy of spending well over 100% of income in wages as a strategy for success especially when with a squad paid millions we lost 5-1 that night and the following year were relegated with debts that were irreparable? You're right we were living the dream.
lots of clubs have overspent and are not being punished like we are as fans, the low point is not just our current position it was during a match against relatively poor opposition we looked so poor bereft of ideas, drive and passion. One of their players ran past about 4 of our players unchallenged, I think the Tranmere player was so surprised at the lack of effort he didn't know what to do.
Every club relegated from the premiership and not promoted back in the parachute window have I believe relegated again / gone to administration or both. That was a fact up to the point we were relegated so yes they have all suffered. Newcastle may be the only one who didn't. Look at the 1992 premier league and see where they are now - one is in the conference.
It was 3-1. . .
Are you Dan?
Talking a couple of seasons ago with other City fans about where are we heading ?I said we could be another Luton Town drop down and out of the League.I said it with a heavy heart but I see Luton are heading back up while we are falling lower and lower.I hope my prediction is wrong though !When we get Calum back fit (and injury free) and have Upchuck (Ben 10 fans) up front with him, I think we'll just about have enough in the tank to get over the line. But this Summer, post JR is likely to prove key to our direction of travel. Feels a bit cheap saying a prayer for your football club, but if you're watching up there we could do with the odd hand of God intervention:wave:
Luton never made it to the Premier League. With the exception of Pompey who massively overspent we are doing the worse of any ex PL side. Huge debts no assets play 35 miles from Cov its bad and going only one way.
Oldham, Sheffield united arent doing better and Wimbledon certainly aren't. I believed nick Owen about Luton. Bradford also have been in the premier league. Of the founder members half have experienced league one or worse.

Oh, get a grip. When the going gets tough get behind your team and stop crying like a 16 year old who's been dumped by his girlfriend. It's easy to moan and whinge and say "everyone is laughing at us", they will be if they read some of the shit posted on this forum. It was 3-1.
We have no God given right to be in the Premier League. We may have been the "entertainers" but behind the scenes we were certainly paying for what we were seeing on the pitch.
You can twist and turn and create an argument out of nothing again all day Grendel. Now is a lower point than when you are saying.

you just keep handing your money too sisu torch like the lemming you are..
That's the issue though isn't it.
Now the club has nothing to do with Coventry and completely ignores the wishes of 99.9% of its fanbase its difficult to see them as "our team".
Of course the team has something to do with Coventry. It says Coventry on the shirts, they are the same players, wearing the same colour wherever they play. It may be far, far from an ideal situation at the moment, but the fans won't and can't change that - so let's not have another argument about Sixfields - the only people who can change it are those at SISU and the Council. In the meantime, I've decided to support the players I've always supported, those wearing Sky Blue. I really don't give a flying fuck if you or others disagree with my stance or not. One day, we'll be back at the Ricoh, I'm sure. I certainly won't feel guilty for my "crimes" when that day comes.
I support them and I always will, I'm not going to give up on them and start crying like a six-year-old on a forum or on a phone-in. Me and my boy will cheer them on.
