It's a Midlands' accent, how's an accent like the Leicester accent any less distinctive? If anything the Birmingham accent is more distinctive than either.
Maybe the same bog I was hiding in hoping to be the last one out (Turn off the light) but I was found about 40 mins after the whistle and removed.Tiptoe through the west end, get your hat nicked, get your head kicked in.....
They just don't write them like they used to......
Although I confess...I've never tiptoed at that particular end of the ground...unless you include the last game of Highfield road when I stole a sign off the mens toilets as a momento!!!
Also born and bred Cov but it is a fallacy that we have a neutral accent and I'm with the flying dinosaur we definitely do have a Brummie twang sadly.I was born and raised in Cov to Coventrian folks and I've always assumed we have a very neutral accent just because that's what I tend to be told when I meet new people. Should probably be thankful that "idiots" as @Terry_dactyl called them can't hear a brummie twang!
They were still magic though!'You're going home in an ambulance!'
'You're going home in a taxi.'
Merely suggestions surely, with no prior knowledge or insight into the actual situation of the transportation of choice.
'We all agree Coventry City are magic!'
I've seen some deft touches from the likes of Nuddy and Hutch and Ernie Hunt etc.in my time, but these can all be explained with pure logic I would have thought and no actual supernatural effort has been involved.
Never really understood why Gary Breen. Not the best centre half we ever had. I suppose Breen rhymes with dream better than Hutch does.'We all dream of a team of Gary Breens'
Despite singing it, I have never actually had a dream where all of our players from 1 - 11 were Gary Breen. And I've had many bizarre, and lucid dreams in my life, and sometimes about the City too, but never about this G. Breen line up scenario.
I mean, a couple in defence would have been pretty useful, even a couple more as back up for when we have our usual defensive injury crisis would be handy too...but a Gary Breen on each wing, or as a false 9 would actually be pretty undesirable, and far from dreamlike.
I think Coventry folk sound more akin to Leicester than Birmingham. When I left Coventry to live in London for many years I never realised I had an accent until I came back and then the vowel sounds were very noticeable. Been back here since 1988 and still hear it. We don't have that up and down intonation iwhen we talk , unlike Brummies.Also born and bred Cov but it is a fallacy that we have a neutral accent and I'm with the flying dinosaur we definitely do have a Brummie twang sadly.
I remember being with some Luton lads following England and said "warmed up" and they were like what the fuck is "warm dup". However, it is what it is.
Does this mean strangers have been lying to me?? What a world we live in.Also born and bred Cov but it is a fallacy that we have a neutral accent and I'm with the flying dinosaur we definitely do have a Brummie twang sadly.

Of course not but surely you have to define neutral? Just because they cannot place you as a Brummie, Geordie, Scouser etc. doesn't mean you have a neutral accent.Does this mean strangers have been lying to me?? What a world we live in.
They probably thought I had it hard enough being a City fan without finding out I had a brummie twang as well. Ignorance is bliss and all that!
Give the ball to Gary Breen?If we had 11 Gary Breens what the hell would we do if we got a penalty?
Give the ball to Gary Breen?
Wow, thats really deep.
"Your support is Fckuing sh1t"
That's as low as it gets.
May have to mention some Rolling Stones hits later ?
Oh you kid meWell surprise surprise
The Rolling Stones are coming to the Ricoh on June 2nd
'Do do do, da, da ,da.'
Definitely no relationship to reality, but then did Sting ever anyway?
Leave my Sting alone! !B-)I think anything by Sting does bear relationship to our position. Our painfully tantric demise has his grubby finger prints all over it...STING OUT!

Even though he was only here for the 1 season I never understood why we didn't change it to a team of Robbie Keanes.Never really understood why Gary Breen. Not the best centre half we ever had. I suppose Breen rhymes with dream better than Hutch does.
If we did an up to date version now it would be about the fans and a 'bunch of drama queens.'Even though he was only here for the 1 season I never understood why we didn't change it to a team of Robbie Keanes.
