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

[Rodley]

The club who gave us the battle of Bramall lane and the club who nearly ended Iain Hume’s life crying over a few whistles and pitch invaders nearly 9 years ago

Do me a favour

No one gives a fuck about Coventry on here pal, we’re not here to be your rivals and after tomorrow we won’t think about you again.

You’re filed with Hull, Barnsley and a few others who sadly don’t have a real rival and consequently seem to wander the club forums of the internet trying to be provocative. No one cares.

 

[Karaoke Blade]

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

Wankers.

And I still maintain that Santos won the ball...

BTW, if you watch Andy Johnson's elbow on Santos (which fractured his eye socket), it is very similar to Hulme running into Morgs. Hulme had form in the game and it was Barnsley's medical team who couldn't recognise a head injury. Not sure you've quite spotted a smoking gun there. Maybe try again?

This behaviour is not restricted to United FYI.

Always someone else’s fault, the wilder effect rubbing off on you

Too right

We took shit for years when we were in the doldrums and people don’t like it back up them

We aren’t the sort of lick your ring piece, ‘good luck for the rest of the season type’

Who from?

You lot

I remember walking out of Bramall lane in April 2017 after losing which all but promoted you and being told - ‘you won’t see a ground like this for years’

 

[PUSBCCFC]

So, why were the whistles only blown and stuff chucked on the pitch, when we attacked?

I think you are in danger of re-writing history here.

No idea but I'm certain you'd do the same, if not far worse if your club was dying.

Whistles and pitch invasions were tame considering what happen, what was happening and what happens in the years after.

Opposition fans do this sort of thing week in, week out. I respect the grudge though. Makes for great content

Yeah they took the piss that day which is what football is about. Lots of 'We'll never play you again'.

A few years later we were 4-1 up.

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

Cause I think your fanbase are a bunch of wankers and your manager is to boot and I want you to know it

Nothing football club, 100 years without winning a jot and have the ego of Real Madrid

And here you are. The type of fan others aspire to be. Knowledgeable with wit and wisdom. A credit to your club and football.

Yet here you are, spending your time on our forum with us ‘bunch of wankers’.

Ego of Real Madrid? You’re mixing us up with our rivals (you know, our actual rivals not some manufactured ones)

But we've still won more than you. 4 more to be exact. Our fans have never deserted us either, unlike yours.

 

[alcoblade]

Fair enough. At least in your time you've seen us win the FA Cup!

And that was fabulous, to be fair.

 

[alcoblade]

From a Coventry fan. Genuinely, comedy Gold.

Did they not desert you literally earlier in the season when you got a 6000 gate in the FA Cup

No. It was a one off poor attendance. When you were at your lowest ebb your fans deserted you. Ours didn't. Look it up.

Only one quick google shows me that in a 2013 League One PLAY OFF game against Yeovil you managed at meagre attendance of 13,000

What’s your excuse there?

You’ve not even sold out for tomorrow and it’s cheap tickets

Embarrassing, should have given us an extra allocation

For a club that's averaged just over 2,300 as recently as 2014 your ridicule is misplaced. At our lowest ebb we averaged 14,500 in the fourth division. Which was more than 1st division Coventry at the time.

You go and play your home games in York or something and see how many you lot average

More than your pitiful following that's for sure. You abandoned them. It's a fact. I'm glad you are back, it was horrendous what happened to your club but your vitriol isn't warranted.

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

Usual knobhead comments from a load of knobhead supporters.

Is that pasty Belgian piece of sh1t likely to be playing for them up front?

Could be a good game this. We will prevail.

[Houston_Blade]

How did I know this thread would be full of comments from the 3 sad bastards from the City of Beige? No other fans come on here and do this.

Bassette won't be playing. Most of our injured players are back. Wright was injured before our last game but has just come back. Hopefully Rudoni will make the bench then come on near the end. He had your number last game.

And I do admire your first and second sentences
