First!
Thanks Roy.
Some serious vitriol there. I guess living in Coventry will do that to you.

 

[Trigger Blade]

Next to first!

 

[Wards]

So do they like us then?

So do they like us then?

That's the impression I got

 

[Roygbiv]

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.

What a weird take they have on us, I think it all stems from their Sisu demonstration where, for 90 minutes they were using whistles, and worse throwing tennis balls onto the pitch, but this part of the "demonstration" only happened when we were attacking, all the while we was going for promotion, and they had the gall to say we weren't behind them in their time of need, if it weren't for their antics that night we would've been and we wouldn't have chanted Sisu's name, and how would they react if we did the same to them now they are going for promotion.
Also they say our team and fans are thugs while advocating kicking hamer, ohare, and Campbell up in the air.

That's not strictly true. I was cheering these guys on like I supported them on Saturday!

Cheers Roy. All really angry, banging away at their fist sized keyboards about how much they hate us.

 

[Hallamboy87]

Don't have a problem with them. It's only like other clubs having an opinion on us, and ourselves having an opinion on others. Its football!

[Greasy Chap Butty]

Meh.
Still to trying to be relevant. Literally nobody gives a shit one way or the other about Coventry.

 

[wizadry]

Cheers Roy, I really love Coventry too, that’s such a shame!

We must be a set of cunts though if we are worse than the Burslem lot, that’s one hell of a take that one, I mean come on ffs.

 

[SRBlade]

I have not worked out whether they single us out for hate or try to hate everyone.

They have a strange obsession with Sunderland too.

Perhaps the 500 Coventry fans on this forum can help me out.

My current assumption is that they're a club with no set rivals and they're just scatter gunning hate in the hope it sticks with someone and they get a Brighton v Palace type rivalry.

Can’t wait for Fat Frank and his band of midland nonces to get found out in the prem. calling us a nasty little club?! Nothing screams conference league like the rioch arena. Soulless shithole. But it’s nice they are passionate about us. Guess that’s what happens to feeder clubs

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.

 

[Blademan89]

Still trying their best to make us into a rivalry, the more we ignore them the more it hurts them . Strange old club, place & people.

Completely irrelevant to anyone, well actually them being top this season is only attention they have got from anyone & even that no one is that bothered.

Think I said this when we last had a view from. I know 100% fuck all about them apart from that for some reason they hate us.

I think they're developing a Wednesday sized god complex over recent years but they're just a fixture in the calender for us as far as I'm concerned.

 

[SUFC Guy]

Would love Cov to drop into the play offs

Fact checking:

Hamer needs to get a retrospective 3 match for him starting ASAP before our visit after his challenge on Sunday”

“Hamer should just be picked up. Its right there on the TV cameras. He doesn’t play for Coventry City though so I doubt anything will get done.”

Narrator: this is referring to the retrospective ban picked up by Brandon Thomas-Asante for elbowing a Norwich player. I have no idea what they're whinging about, he should have been sent off straight away

“Campbell is a shitehawk, he knew exactly what he was doing when he caused Dovin’s ACL injury last season”

This is partly true. Campbell deliberately tried to tackle a goalkeeper who was trying to be too clever. It was Dovin's decision to try a Cruyff turn which resulted in his ACL injury, not Campbell's tackle.

“They have always had this attitude of them being some sort of massive club when in reality when they last won a major trophy Queen Elizabeth II hadn’t even been born – Fans of a particular age have lived to see us win a major trophy but not them”

Coventry City might have won the FA Cup in 1987 but that remains their only ever major trophy. If either set of fans has unrealistic views of themselves I'd suggest it's the ones who have seen their team promoted to the top flight once in its history.

They rival Hull in the delusional "we hate United for reasons no-one is entirely clear about" stakes. As a result, I would love it if they bottle promotion, let's hope we can chip away at the foundations a little bit more tomorrow.

Those Coventry fans

 

[Tommy_P]

What a strange bunch of comments. It's like they're a wounded animal, and perhaps previous games encountered have scarred them a little.

We haven't been that big thuggish, rough and ready team for a long time now! I mean I'd love it if we were a bit tougher, if anything!! It's hilarious how the Blades setup from the 90's/00's sticks around with all these clubs though!

One thing I will say is I always enjoy playing Coventry now matter how irrelevant they have been at times, I mean that QF Cup replay game was one of the best ever witnessed at BDTBL!!
