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

[Piffle and Tosh]

Can you get a Facebook ban for wishing misery and plague on Coventry fans? Fuck it, I'm not even on Facebook. Wallow in the shit of hades for eternity you fucking no-mark wankers. I hope all your knobs fall off and knobs grow on all your women! On their foreheads!!!

I am in complete agreement

 

[NuddysGloves]

I've genuinely never knowingly met a Coventry fan now that I think of it.

You probably have but they just weren't prepared to admit it. Can hardly blame them.......

 

[Flumps]

However route 1 aerial tennis with a football and taekwondo without it is not what Coventry fans are used to seeing even in our darkest of days

which sheffield team were they watching as not us,

I dunno. Paddy Kenny had a few high flying kicks in his time

 

[BladesOnToast]

Think he got booked but it was one of the clearest red cards I've ever seen.

I think the ref decided it would be more of a punishment for us keeping McEverley on the pitch

 

[dn5 shaun]

Ok

 

[Blend-it-like-Harris]

After reading all that shite, now I can fully understand the meaning of the term "Send 'em to Coventry" - I never realised though that it was actually carried out. I missed it when it happened, so if anyone knows how or when all the idiots were sent there I'd love to know!

To send someone to Coventry is an idiom used in England meaning to deliberately ostracise someone. Typically, this is done by not talking to them, avoiding their company, and acting as if they no longer exist. Victims are treated as though they are completely invisible and inaudible. Coventry is a cathedral city historically in Warwickshire.

 

[FredZeppelin]

I actually feel sorry for Coventry fans.
Can't be easy for them when they know they know they aren't even the biggest club playing at their own home stadium.
They must be thoroughly bored by even their own existence by now and travelling to Northampton must have seemed like a visit to a theme park in comparison to life in Coventry. Throwing a tennis ball onto the pitch will have been talked about at work for years afterwards, with all those listening thinking 'Wow, I wish I could have done that'!
Count your blessings.

Coventry City are the football equivalent of the all-grey John Major Spitting Image puppet eating peas off a paper plate.

Or a furry dog shit.

 

[Balham]

I thought I'd have a quick look at the difference in disciplinary record under Heckingbottom and Jokanovic. Turns out that we got 33 yellows in Jokanovic's 19 games in charge and have 35 in Heckingbottom's 16 games - a jump of around 1 yellow every two games. Put that across the whole season and we'd be roughly level with Boro in the disciplinary tables with 77 yellows and two reds. I have no issue with this. We are willing to put the boot in where necessary to either stop a break or to rattle the opposition's better players. Norrington-Davis is a key proponent of this.

FWIW - extrapolating Heckingbottom's results would also see us two points behind Fulham. Data below extracted from fbref

Cheers Roy

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

I won’t be satisfied unless at least 7 Coventry players break their legs tomorrow. In true Blades fashion, let’s try and go into every tackle with the intention on breaking their player’s legs, cos that’s what we do.

Wankers.

 

[Houston_Blade]

I’m glad we’re getting a reputation for being nasty, we’ve been missing that for years. It’s bollocks though, everything we do is pure and good, everything the oppo does is bad and wrong.

 

[Speedracer]

Thanks Roy.

Fucking Coventry, I don't know who they think they are, but them again they don't seem to know who they are either, so they have no chance of knowing who & what we actually are, the irrevelant fuck wits.

“We are not interested in their style of football even though they have stayed true to it and it has served them well. However route 1 aerial tennis with a football and taekwondo without it is not what Coventry fans are used to seeing even in our darkest of days. We are particularly interested in their specialist module entitled how to get results when outclassed. Following our that will teach them sequence of results against Preston, Swansea and Luton, teams we owed a good old fashioned hammering we should also register on Sheffield Utd’s payback course featuring their demolition of former boss Chis Wilder’s high flying Middlesbrough team.
Sheffield Utd in my opinion are masters of playing referees. They seem to have this aura whereby their clogging is regarded as hard man football and part of the game by referees and when the opposition try to match fire with fire it is foul play and they suffer a sending off or a penalty. There was a time when B Sharp ( pen) on the score sheet against us on our annual visits to Bramall Lane was as traditional as Halloween.”


Those rumours of Coventry City Council accidentally putting LSD in the water supply instead of Fluoride must be true then

If you read that in the voice of Stephen Hawking it is hilarious.

 

[Karaoke Blade]

Can anyone remember when Coventry was relevant to anything? No, neither can I.

 

[Micky Narker]

Love SISU, Hate Coventry.

 

[sufcboy95]

Hahahaha some whoppers in there. Are they still stuck in the 90s or what

 

[Brewster Cost £70 million]

Whilst looking at their forum I noticed they only got allocated 2500 for derby and they hadn't sold out the reasons being its a dinner time ko and 28 quid I think that's not a bad price

Good mix there. Nice work Roy

 

[YouFUMS]

That’s a great stat about Billy scoring in every minute except the 5th. I’m gonna put a couple of quid on him to complete the full set every game until he undoubtedly does.
Oh..and what a set of whiny mardy arses.

 

[BLADES1988]

Scruffy SISU Scrubbers

 

[Caveblade]

“Lazy nonsense, can’t have watched them recently. Their fourth goal on Tuesday was brilliant

One voice of reason amongst a set of deluded wankers. Hope we absolutely smash them. Set of small time tennis ball throwing, whistle blowing idiots.

The Barcelona of the Midlands according to those comments.

 

[Bennyand the Blades]

Looks like their getting their excuses in before the game even starts........

 

[Steelcitysenior]

Just shows the difference between fans, a really balanced view from the Boro fans to a total load of shite from this lot.
Might be the Bassett match at Highfield road, where the Coventry fan's came on the pitch in front of the Blades fans who obliged them by chasing em out of the ground.

 

[PUSBCCFC]

Evening lads.

Thought I'd pop back on here as we are playing each other again.

Remember a similar thread from our game earlier in the season. Made me chuckle.

Cov fans only think you are dirty because of that tackle of Lamerias about 7 years ago. Still to this day baffles me. We tore you to shreds that day and you still managed to beat us with a late Sharp goal. Our team that day included Fleck, Jacob Murphy, Ryan Kent, Joe Cole and Adam Armstrong. James Maddison missed up with injury. Still ridiculous that we didn't go up that season.

Game earlier in the season was a bore fest. Little to separate the sides.

We've fallen away recently despite playing well. We tend to dominate games, miss 4/5 clear chances and then concede to any chance against us.

The pitch at the Ricoh has turned into a bobbly mess thanks to the London Rugby team playing there. Our passing style of play has unfortunately had to be changed because of this. I'm interested to see how you perform on it tomorrow if you try playing a similar style.

In regards to the yellow cards, we are where we are because Gustavo Hamer has about 37 yellow cards this season.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Empty seat wankers

 

[alcoblade]

…..

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Always love the atmosphere at the Ricoh. Just a seas sky blue...seats.

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

Shithousing??? They're masters at it. I was there when they tried to derail our promotion chance with tennis balls and whistles. Hope it's different tomorrow.

Billy Sharp (5) - nailed on.

Hope so.

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

The main time where I thought we'd hit absolute rock bottom under Slav was when Coventry were playing well and looking like play off contenders, and I had to accept that we might actually finish below this beige team in the table.

It must be hard being a Coventry City fan as it is such a meh club. After a long stint in the top flight fighting relegation nearly every season and awarding their player of the year award to their goalkeeper or a defender, they finally did the decent thing and got relegated. Back in the Championship they seemed to continue being a meh team by finishing midtable, never really pushing for the play offs or getting into a relegation fight. They finally did the decent thing and got relegated to League One.

I don't want to sound elitist, but it must be so dull supporting them knowing that each season will naturally peter out to nothing. Maybe last seasons whistle blowing was the highlight moment of their last 30 years.

They are the dullest most nothing team I can think of. Just bland and boring with nothing going for them.

Reading their comments on Roy's View they also seem to be the most bitter, and more deluded than Forest fans!

I hope Billy scores in the 5th minute after we "foul" one of their players to win the ball before hoofing it up the pitch, where he elbows a defender on the way to heading it in. Then we surround the ref with shithousery antics to convince him that it wasn't a foul and the referee agrees. I mean, that's what they're expecting isn't it?
