Roy's View From... Pre-Match View From Coventry

[fifty shades of blade]

The English language seems to have yet to reach some areas of Coventry

 

[Karaoke Blade]

"their cup final"

 

[PUSBCCFC]

"singers corner" dear lord

Yes, named after the original name of the football club.

 

[diode_blade]

Remember a bank holiday Monday night game there at the highfield road ground 89-90ish. Myself, ex girlfriend and young daughter, her brother and girlfriend went to skeggy for the day, then decided to go to the game as we drove home, so we went straight to coventry.
Sat in the stand when from behind one goal end stand smoke and flames shot up into the air, burger van had gone up.

Cheers Roy.

Cheers Panchero!

Where has all this talk of "rivalry" come from?

 

[Cappy]

“shithoused their way to a lot of narrow wins”

[S74Blade]

Eyes on Coventry's central midfielder.

 

[ben1987]

I seem to recall that Coventry fans got majorly pissy at United for wanting to play on and go for the win during their protest.

We obviously went on and won the game and celebrated.

They called us disrespectful for disrupting their protests.

Before the game I seem to recall quite a bit of sympathy toward their situation which quickly evaporated afterwards.

It was pretty glorious watching them teach Wednesday some manners on the pitch last season after the Kasey Palmer incident though.

 

[Boxer Blade]

Coventry, I mean Coventry FFS , they don't have a rivalry with anybody.

 

[mattbianco1]

 

[mattbianco1]

“Have we created a rivalry with them? I dont ever think about the Blunts"

I never think about them. But i'll call them "Blunts" to show how unbothered by them I am

 

[TJB.]

Coventry. Fucking Coventry.

The beige paint of football clubs. Lemon-pepper seasoning. Half a Carling. England 0-0 Switzerland. Cheap orange squash. A 2009 Ford KA. Hollyoaks. 13° days in July.

Anything you can think of which you'd describe as mainly mediocre but borderline shit, you can associate with Coventry City Football Club.

Pointless wankers.

I once had to go to Coventry with work and no fucker talked to me.

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

Just here to be insecure and express my bi-annual existential crisis when we play our massive midland rivals Coventry City FC.

I need my meds.

 

[HillmortonBlade]

Some (one) of them prefer The Pigs? Fair enough, I prefer Coventry Copsewood.

 

[Shadota]

"following the defeat in their cup final"

This is my favourite quote. Our cup final? Really?

Poor soul needs telling that on the scale of FA Cup progression, they to us are the equivalent of a game played before the new year has struck. Maybe 1st round at best. Certainly not anywhere near a final.

"Reckon we have forced a rivalry with them when let’s be honest , most of us couldn’t give a rats arse about them."

Love this one too. Only Coventry-related memories I have retained, are the FA Cup tie in 98. Reg Holdsworth's overhead kick for 1-1 is cemented in my brain for life. Outside of that, they're just a club who we happen to share a league with on occasion.

They remind me of a closed down pub that had a flicker of something about it when it was open but ultimately surrounded by cunts who’d rather buy their beer for a fiver in Aldi. Weed strewn, dilapidated, outdated, never went with the times, don’t do food.

They blew their whistles and were disruptive when we had the ball and were attacking,they seemed to stop when they had the ball

 

[S40BLADE]

Cumlogged? Cheers roy

 

[ben1987]

How I remember it too.

As the pressure was growing at the end of the game they were trying desperately to get it called off or stop United attacking.

So billy obviously went nuts when he scored

That took an interestingly welcome turn at the mid point.

They may dislike us, but no way near as much as the Derby losers up the road.

We will be without Arblaster and may even be without Moore so then missing Wright is a good leveller.

I also see that Sunderland will be kissing Alan Browne and the lad Romaine Mundle they has played every game. Hello Bellingham missed a recent game. We’re not the only team losing key players.

 

[itsinyerblood]

Given their eagerness to see their players at the first rattle of coin think they'd struggle to resist an offer of £7.50 for any of their players.

And that gents is a clear sign of a stagnant mentality.
