Haha! What on Earth was he doing for that first one?! Even more so, what was the keeper doing? Gyökeres did his best to pass it to him.

I’ll go with the “bad day at the office” excuse. Next time we play you if you appoint Chris Wilder as manager we might turn up.

View From Coventry — The View From

"Beating two of the relegated teams 4-1 at home, isn’t bad" "Am I exaggerating when I say it could have been 8 or 9 ? We've a great chance midweek to close the gap before a daunting run In" "“4-1 flattered them” would be a massive understatement." "We reslly should have scored 8 today….yes really!"

Thanks for effort Roygbiv but can't even bring myself to read sorry.

Sent packing with tails between our legs well and truly.
 
All adults in cov touch their own kids whilst blowing whistles, hoping it'll get them a refuge in Birmingham, and some hope of a future career outside of licking rats for sustenance and burning £10 bags with their proceeds from breaking into charity shops. And that's in the posh areas. Fact!
 
Our ‘big day out’, in Coventry?? They honestly are the quintessential ‘who gives a fuck FC’.

Piss poor excuse for a football club who’s attendances somehow went down when they got a beautiful new stadium built for them. Wouldn’t bat an eyelid if they went out of existence

That's bollocks. Homeless and trudging off to Northampton and Birmingham deserves a modicum of respect. I agree they're a bit of a beige club but they've won the fa cup and spent plenty of time in the top flight in relatively recent times. Usually good travelling numbers as well. We got royally fucked yesterday but cut the bullshit.

I think they’re wank and over 30 years in the top flight couldn’t build an even respectable fan base. I don’t have to respect every football club

You're right you don't but your reasons are dubious. Coventry isn't a massive place.
 
Let them enjoy their moment of glory and be happy that we don’t live in Coventry!
 
Funny tweet here where they claim to have as many fans as us by posting a picture






I think Coventry not having a genuine rival is why they lash out so much. They try to goad Sunderland into hating them too. Its very similar to Hull. Its not their fault they don't have a rival obviously but for all those who want Wednesday to go bust this is what could happen!
 
Thanks Roy.

I had to put my big boy pants on to read that to be honest, but gotta take the rough with the smooth. Of all the teams to put in a crap performance, they will really think they are something now.

Sunderland hate Coventry a lot more than we hate them.

Leicester should be our rivals because Forest and Derby focus on each other. Look at Leicester fans trying to hype up the rivalry last month. Forest hardly cared.

Why. ???

That's it, because they think we relegated them. It was forgotten about in the 90s and then 6 years ago Sunderland fans kicked off about the Jimmy Hill statue and then subsequently started abusing his family after his death.

The two fixtures 4 years ago were toxic. Most trouble I've seen at games for a good 15 years.

Coventry population 350k and one team there, Sheffield 500k and two teams. They get nowhere near our crowds and by rights they should get substantially more. Even when we were in the fourth division we averaged nearly 15k to there 13k in the top tier!

I can't agree. Both clubs have had ups and downs with regards attendances. Late 70s to mid 80s their attendances blinded ours. Its as though some fans think we've always had 25,000+ attendances. You were wrong on the population figures as well. Slagging Birmingham's support would've been a better example.

Doesn't Sheffield Metro include the likes of Rotherham though?
 
I stand corrected on the population of Sheffield, but wow where have they found an extra 200k+, they've got to have started including outlining areas that they haven't in the past?? Up til fairly recently our population has always been reported at around the 500-550k mark.

Even at the 750k mark their crowds should at least be on a par with ours, using population as the marker.

I'll give you those first 7 years from late 60s to mid 70s when they were in the top flight for the first time in their history they had decent crowds. I think they've been pretty average since. The four seasons we were in the top flight under DB, our attendances easily out strip there's and same again whenever we've been in the same division this century.

On a more positive note they did beat Leeds in the FA cup semi in 87, I'll always raise a glass to that!
