Well, can’t really add much more to what’s been said already. We were absolutely immense. There were a few Cov around us in the Wolves end and we nearly gave the game away when Sims equalised. We went down for a Johnny Cash 20 seconds later and heard a roar from the Gents! Thought it was only the Cov fans celebrating that we had taken it to extra time. Realised then that we had scored as it was like a fire drill with the masses leaving in their droves. Probably a good job we missed Wrights goal as we may have not been able to contain ourselves and may have got lamped!
Don’t really care who we get in the Semi-final-for me we won the final today.

Must say looking around at social media stuff Wolves fans have showed quite a lot of class and honesty.
Then there’s their manager….

 

[Nick]

You'd have been sent off within a minute

Crowd would go wild though.

This is a belter

'That wasn't the real quiz.'

Gary O'Neil, 2024.

And btw Tavares deserves some credit for today and for the last few games.
He’s only had a few bits and pieces but has always given 100% and has made some impact.
I wish the lad well.

Wolves fans are a great lot, very passionate and loyal, alot like us really. Proper club are Wolves. So much history.

The only sour note for me was McCoist giving
Ait-Nouri MOTM.

 

[Blind-Faith]

Incredible! His Voice sounds fucked

Exactly that - I've not read anything but compliments from them to us.

 

[MalcSB]

How is Mark Robin's celebration of the winner the story now

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

He has apparently apologised for doing it now

 

[scubasteve]

Only just walked in from that today.
what a roller coaster in the last 15mins. Its why we love football and what makes up for all the years of pain, for these moments, sharing them with my dad, my son. Love it.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

One thing that impressed me today was how crisp our passing was. Quality.

 

[standupforcity]

At home!

It's at Wembley

 

[SeshMouseSkyBlue]

Hate that “their cup final” talk.

I’ve heard all week about how important this game is to wolves fans and a real chance to win something/trip to Wembley. Sometimes you just have to give a team credit, we played out of our skins today and refused to give up, and it got us over the line.

Talking like we’re plucky little Maidstone town.

The way their GK celebrated at 2-1 shows it meant something to them.

Just got on the plane at Geneva wearing a Cov training top. An old guy stops me and says: 'Is that the City badge?'. I said yes and I'm going back for the Wolves game. I asked him if he's a Cov fan and he replied: 'I played for Cov under Jimmy Hill, Bobby Smith.' I said I'd have a chat with him during the flight. Lovely moment.

To bookend this, I just went through passport control at Geneva airport and the guy said (in French): ‘Coventry City, good win today.’ Was loving it. What a fucking day - absolutely epic.

One thing I noticed was how the game was less physical than the Championship.
Sure there were a few tussles but on the whole Simms and Wright weren’t knocked over so much and the likes of Palmer could run with the ball more.
It suited us.

AKA 'Home'.

Yes, very true. Never thought about it at the time, but there was a lot less of there being outmuscled and physically bullied out of the game.

 

[MikeyMoo]

Wolves forum pointing out that our xG of 4.24 was their worst of the season, but even worse than that, our xG vs maidestone was 2.47

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

I think Wolves showed us we ain't that bad. Expansive game which pretty much played into our hands. Nothing to worry about prem wise. Having said that , their second goal was quality and let's face it, Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal are different gravy.
I'm so proud of our performance today . We're a better team than last season...never thought I'd say that

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Too emotional, good night

 

[shmmeee]

Interesting commentary on this one.

'Bueno scores the winning goal, the winning goal to break Coventry's hearts'

What Wolves fan put that highlights package together? Didn’t show any of our chances, all of Wolves half chances. Seemed to happy when Wolves went ahead. When we pulled it back it was “they’re level for now”. Bunch of pricks.

 

[mmttww]

He's a dapper dan man, he doesn't want fop goddamnit!

 

[Martin180]

Just watching some extended highlights again and we were so good today . Some of the passing moves , some of the link ups and some of the bottle and conviction was just incredible .

 

[Hiraeth]

Going to see Skindred in Brum tonight, will def be having a few beers to celebrate

Amazing day, great night, drank way too many pints and far too many shots, still buzzing and can't sleep. Today was up there with Boro away in the playoffs. Fitting send off for Dennis Lawrence

 

[alexccfc99]

Honestly I am so fucking proud of that performance!

Was only a Portuguese international goalkeeper stopping that from being a cricket score, there will be people round the world watching that with no clue who the Premier League side was on that showing

110% pisses all over Notts and Middlesbrough away for me, what an amazing game and performance

 

[Liquid Gold]

Still partying. A little bit of Bristol is sky blue tonight.

What a win.

 

[alexccfc99]

I listened to TalkSport on the way to the match yesterday, they had some bloke from one of the bookies on giving the odds for all the cup ties

What an absolute C-Unit he was

"I don't see how Wolves don't win"

"I would struggle to name any of Coventry's players"

"I'd offer decent odds on Coventry even scoring a goal"

Suck on that you prick

A lot of people would have you believe even mediocre Premier League players are in some way superhuman. Nice to put that bullshit to bed.

yeah I drove to yesterdays game and heard him. He said all that and the bit that stuck with me was 8/13 are brilliant odds. I don’t see how you don’t win. Maybe he was trying to get everyone to lose their money on wolves really.

Probably supports one of 'the big 6'. Absolute football cancer those guys are.

As for the game. It got very emotional at the end. To be 1-0 up with 10 minutes to go to losing the game 2-1 in the last minute. To winning the game in the 100th minute is what football is all about. We’ve been through so much and to see everyone so happy and even crying like a few blokes by us was just magical. What a team we have. Wolves have injuries but they still have quality all over the pitch. Ait nouri and kilmann are probaly worth 60m for the pair alone. Lemina. Etc

it was one of those days that makes it all worth while.
