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

[Houston_Blade]

I've never met a single Blade who has anything against Coventry City whatsoever. Every season I read their View From, and end up baffled at why they hate us so much. Proper peculiar fan base.

I don’t like them, but it’s just because they’re a set of weirdos who seem obsessed with making rivalries where they don’t exist.

 

[Balham]

Where is anybody trying to muster up a rivalry?

I refer you to the OP and his comment-gathering

Pre-Match View From Coventry — The View From

"Sheff U awayThe one away fixture above all others I'd love us to win." "would be happy with a point against a team who look the have turned a corner and making a late push for the playoffs.Would love to beat these though as both a manager and fan base I cant stand.their fans are

“Sheff U away. The one away fixture above all others I’d love us to win.”
"Would love to beat these though as both a manager and fan base I cant stand."
“I would just like to reiterate how much I hate Sheffield United as a club , fanbase and the spud face that manages them”
"Would love nothing more than to beat em"
“One of those clubs that in my lifetime have always seemed to have an XL sized chip on their shoulder when it comes to us”

I suppose we may not be alone in generating these feelings in the Coventry fanbase but it is a little weird. Maybe it's also because despite them seeing themselves as a bigger club they tend to lose at Bramall Lane (and to be fair, we usually lose when we play on the outskirts of Coventry/Northampton/wherever they're playing their home matches too)*. They've not done the double over us since their first season in the Championship back in 01/02.

This century:
In Coventry: P18 W5 D3 L10
In Sheffield: P17 W11 D4 L3
Overall: P35 W16 D7 L13

Last United win in Coventry: 2016/17
Last Coventry win at United: 2012/13

Most of it is lingering on from the night of the protests. We played each other many times in the years before and I can't remember any comments from either side.

 

[Bartleby]

I think they just amp it up cos they know it will make it's way onto a thread on our forum and get everybody going.

 

[elgoog44]

Went to Coventry once, that was enough to know never to make the mistake twice.

They are so self entitled i thought it was written by some of those from S6, such a strange bunch both of them.

 

[Blade58]

They hate us with a passion

Nowt new there then
They can fk right off

 

[Bradfordblade]

Wow! They really don't lke us do they?

[Kenilworth]

20 or so quotes of how much they hate us before the last quote says "They have a chip on their shoulder about us"

My favoutite fanbase I think. I'd love to know if they're just like this online or if they walk around in a permanent fume.

Just read it. What a set of utter melts with zero self awareness!
Cov fan are only just a couple of ml of deludamol below the pigs.

 

[Kenilworth]

Having given that a good read and taken some time to reflect on what they've said, I've come to the conclusion that they probably just need a BIG HUG.

I wouldn’t go near the brain infected tossers.

Quite difficult when you live in Warwickshire, near the Cotswolds

 

[Covkid19]

It's that time of the year again , when fat Roy starts his little shit stirring mischief game against the sky blues.
Oh dear he must be a very bored little queer sort of chap .

Still I'm struggling to see how cov could possibly get a win at brammel lane after they're world club championship cup win on Sunday, wow what a team you have.
I can only hope we don't get we don't get battered.

 

[Kenilworth]

Not sure where our chip is but it's certainly not on the shoulder - we're completely ambivalent towards them.
Why do they hate us so much? Because we won the "tennis ball" game and overshadowed their protest?

It’s in us butties, obvs

 

[Kenilworth]

They hate us so much, they scream abuse at a bronze statue...

Watch Sunderland fan ABUSE Jimmy Hill statue

Rant follows four decades of outrage

Jimmy was a long chinned twat of a cunt - to be totally fair.

"One of those clubs that in my lifetime have always seemed to have an XL sized chip on their shoulder when it comes to us"

It's like he's entered into some weird parallel universe and nicked a large helping of S6 deludamol.
Where do these cretins get these 'opinions' from, or are they just made up, SWFC style, so that they can all bash the straw man.

Our main two gripes are probably their stupid whistle blowing protest, (but only when we were in possession of the ball), and the number of their fans who come on here trying to create a rivalry.
They fail everytime, because no-one gives a toss about them.
Beige City, indeed!

When it comes to Coventry, I have no potato related items, anywhere on my upper body.

 

[Sky Blues]

Rivals? I'm sorry to say you're not our rivals this season because of what happened after getting rid of Wilder. I don't see a rival as where you are from but where you are in the table. Some people seem to be getting mixed up with rivals and local rivals.

But saying that it will be a difficult game for us and a good challenge. Should be a good game.

Coming onto another club’s forum to explain that they’ve misunderstood the noise generated by fans of your own club is certainly… a choice.

I wouldn’t recommend it, but it is a thing someone could do.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Wendy’s never gave us that much vitriol…Bless ‘em, they’re obviously lacking a rival.

 

[FATTYFOULKE]

Ooooh, now we’ve relegated our real rival we need a stand in.

My vote goes for these wet wipes.

Shit stirring = relaying actual comments from your fans.

If you're embarrassed by them then take your own fans to task.

The fact you think this page and idea is specific to Coventry explains why so many fanbases find the whole social media act so many SISUs put on so bizarre

You tell him Roy! And those derogatory comments about you aren’t even close to the truth except maybe the queer bit.

 

[metalblade]

These are the weirdest set of fans outside S6. As for Coventry City nobody really gives a fuck about them, the best thing to happen in that place happened in 1940.

I am a stone overweight too. In fairness, he's pretty much spot on. I also like the alias of Fat Bored Queer Roy
