Every time we’ve played at Wembley against a team beginning wit E we’ve lost.
We’re doomed.

I haven’t washed my underwear since I last saw us win at Wembley

No we don’t, but we are an excellent counter attacking team. I will be genuinely fascinated with how this match plays out - two bright, relatively young, British managers with young teams who try to play the right way. I think we’ll win but can understand your confidence - that’s why it will be a good game.

No one can back the opposition in a game of this magnitude.

What made the playoffs interesting this year was that every team hat a 1-0-1 record against one another. Any team of us, Lincoln, Notts County and yourselves could win against one another on a given day.

For me, it’s too close to call but we should be a really really confident coming off a 4-1 win against a team who’d lost only twice at home all season. Exeter, however, were equally impressive, particularly your central midfielders.

Good luck for next season, regardless of the result next week. Hopefully that’ll be you guys preparing for another L2 campaign, no hard feelings. I like Exeter because I have massive soft spot for Exeter Chiefs, if you’re a supporter, I actually have some of Carl Rimmer’s old training stash haha.

The Coventry newspaper the Evening Telegraph used to have a football reporter who went by the pen name Nemo.
Reverse those letters and you get Omen.
The very first game he reported on (in 1958) was a Div 3 game against Exeter.
Exeter won that game 1-0.

Ah, but our current Telegraph reporter is Andy Turner and an anagram of Andy Turner is 'Nae Dry Runt' and that's exactly what I would say to Mr. Binney when he suggests Exeter are going to win.

And besides, we have never, ever lost at Wembley on a bank holiday Monday.

Close enough. What’s the thinking behind the unicorns on your badge?

They’re pegasuses, not unicorns - please concentrate. They represent “poetic genius and inspiration”, which I take to refer to Paul Tisdale’s programme notes.

It’s Mr Head, not Mr Binney. And the last person who said Nae Dry Runt to me ended up in hospital for 3 weeks, so I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s like telling the Incredible Hulk you’ve just slept with his wife.

But I did and I didn't keep my pants on like him.

Bet he'll be green with envy when he finds out.

You need to find a hobby.

I have a new hobby. Only took it up just over a year ago. I like going to Wembley with over 40,000 other Coventry City supporters to watch us win. It is fun.

Can we actually take much pleasure though from beating up the little guy?

Sounds good - I’m doing the same thing this Monday.

Tell you what, we can make a pact.

If you can let us win this Monday, we will let you win the following Monday.

Deal?

fred binneys head · May 23, 2018

Sounds fair.

We’ve never lost at Wembley when our manager has had a full head of hair - further to this, we’ve never lost to a bald manager at Wembley

We have won every game we have played at Wembley in spring.
Teams wearing blue are winning trophies this year. It is not a red year, sorry.

We have won every game we've played at Wembley that had a meaningful result. Yes, we lost the Charity Shield but that oversized plaque was only ever about bragging rights and another day out at Wembley

Okay, I will let you have Fred and even, Binney too, but there's no way I am giving you Head.

L2 Playoff Winners last few years..

Hopefully the winners 2018 will begin with a (C)

JimmyHillsbeard · May 23, 2018

I’m sat in the lobby of a hotel outside Chester. 20 secs ago, Dion Dublin just walked past me (with a camera crew). When he was a City player I went to Wembley to see England play Saudi Arabia in the hope he would play (he didn’t). Figuring this close to Wembley it’s got to be an omen of something

I think if Fred spends any longer here he'll be wearing Sky Blue and supporting us on Monday

Nobody in L2 beginning with D for next season though, so perhaps that can be Exeter's turn to save them waiting a season.

Yeah, but it could be those c**ts from down Devon way.

Not a prayer, if you cut me open my blood cells are red and white.

I like this forum, you are a decent bunch of fans and I hope Coventry do well, starting next season, but come 3pm on Monday I’ll be screaming vile abuse at you all and singing until my throat throbs - on Tuesday I’ll sound like Barry White gargling on gravel.

smileycov · May 23, 2018

The Referee is David Webb, he has referred us both just once each...we won you didn't!!

skybluesam66 · May 23, 2018

I see from your history that you were the 1st club side to play a team from Brazil
Well it's gone full circle, as it will be just like watching Brazil on Monday

No abuse from me. I will be too busy shouting and singing all the way to Division three :smuggrin:

skybluesam66 · May 23, 2018

People usually support the underdog - but i dont think so in this case
So many people telling me they were looking for our score and watching the highlights last Friday - but not knowing why

I really think football wants us to win (Notts county don't but then they are nothing to do with football)
