"Coventry's Ian Bell.." FFS Eakin, you trying to jinx him?! Get yer facts right, he's from Dunchurch, which is near Rugby. Not even in the same county as Coventry..

[The Penguin]

You know what? I'm not even bothered by this result at all. And that for me is the worst thing about it.

You're not the only one. The second goal went in and I felt no disappointment, no anger....just a feeling of resignation about it all.

 

[1nilandwe...]

I felt the same about the first goal to be fair. I just shrugged.

 

[dilligaf]

Right thats it...im buying the club!

can anyone lend me a fiver?

a fiver i'll lend you a quid but i want the change

 

[scroobiustom]

a fiver i'll lend you a quid but i want the change

..well I need £4.80 for an "admin fee"

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

Every Saturday I look at who we are playing and every time i say its only 'so and so' surely we can beat them..And every saturday its the same old fucking story...:jerkit:

Ever get the feeling players do the same thing? I hate that "only" word!

 

[Sky Blues]

One thing for sure.....Fisher won't be getting paid if his wage depends on the team performing well!

Really cannot see how anything positive can come of this season. It will take a hell of a lot of luck for us to even reach the play offs, let alone win promotion at this rate!

I think you listed one positive in that first sentence!

 

[RichieGunns]

You know what? I'm not even bothered by this result at all. And that for me is the worst thing about it.

I've never said this before...I've never considered it...but do you think I'd have been better off if my mum had taken me to West Ham games or my Dad had taken me to West Brom games because they're the teams my parents supported when they were little...

Sometimes I wish they had :/

Warwickshire? What county are Cov in then?

 

[Gray]

Warwickshire? What county are Cov in then?

west midlands, not a county i suppose but we are not in warwickshire

 

[coundonskyblue]

Without distracting from what the thread is about the West Midlands county hasnt existed since the 80's.

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

Even the first poster in the "There must be a reason..." thread is implying we have a championship standard squad.....

We clearly don't. You don't get a Championship squad out of signing only free transfers! And yeah, I know we paid a fee for Barton, but we swapped shite for shite in that the Deegan fee paid for him.

 

[skybluesteve76]

west midlands, not a county i suppose but we are not in warwickshire

Of course we are in Warwickshire! Have a look at a map!

 

[Gray]

Without distracting from what the thread is about the West Midlands county hasnt existed since the 80's.

we'll we certainly are not in Warwickshire (not distracting from the the thread) so i don't know which county we are in

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

Without distracting from what the thread is about the West Midlands county hasnt existed since the 80's.

We need a distraction! So what is Coventry in these days, then? The County of Coventry, or did it return to Warwickshire?

Either way, Bell isn't from Cov.


And now he's out :facepalm:

 

[1nilandwe...]

West Midlands is indeed a county.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Midlands_(county)

 

[skybluesteve76]

The five districts of North Warwickshire, Nuneaton & Bedworth, Rugby, Warwick and Stratford-on-Avon together form the Warwickshire County Council area, and are within the 1974 boundaries. The shape of the administrative area of Warwickshire differs considerably from that of the historic county, which also includes the now autonomous unitary authorities of Coventry and Solihull, as well as a small area around central and northeast Birmingham.

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

Distractions are good...

 

[1nilandwe...]

And what's more, Coventry is in it.

 

[dilligaf]

Warwickshire? What county are Cov in then?

Coventry is in the West Midlands a county created to make sure our democracy is ensured to seem fair
I always put warwickshire as my county as that is where i was born

 

[skybluesteve76]

West Midlands is a region. Warwickshire is a county of which Coventry are part of.
This is alot better than talking about football anyway

 

[Gray]

Of course we are in Warwickshire! Have a look at a map!

yeah there is a big whole in Warwickshire where Coventry is...

if we are i Warwickshire how come we don't have Warwickshire police force or are run by Warwickshire county council?

i will also add this to my argument http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Midlands_(county)

 

[coundonskyblue]

West Midlands is indeed a county.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Midlands_(county)

The West Midlands County Council was abolished on 31 March 1986, and so its districts (the metropolitan boroughs) are now effectively unitary authorities

Heres a challange then:

I will accept Coventry is in the West Midlands if someone can post a link to the West Midlands County website.

 

[skybluesteve76]

This is all too much for me. I'm one of those people that puts England as my country of birth instead of great Britain

Post number 227 should clear it up?

 

[dilligaf]

Down to the last over in the cricket

Because we have our own City council, as do alot of cities!
Doesn't mean we are not in that county tho.

 

[Gray]

look at a map of Warickshire, people!! Coventry is not in it...We used to be as did Birmingham but now we are not ok!? thank you

 

[stupot07]

West Midlands is a region and a county. Warwickshire is in the west midlands region but is a county in its own right. Coventry is in both the West Midlands County and region - e.g. west Midlands Police, West Midlands Fire Service. Coventry isn't in Warwickshire.

Why do the Welcome to Warwickshire signs appear when you leave the city of Coventry?

 

[coundonskyblue]

Why do the Welcome to Warwickshire signs appear when you leave the city of Coventry?

Why do they not say Welcome to West Midlands when you enter it?

 

[skybluesteve76]

Haha! I've just posted the wiki answer on post 227 mate. It says in black and white that Cov are in Warwickshire!

I lived there for 3 years and never saw him, does he?

 

[Gray]

Haha! I've just posted the wiki answer on post 227 mate. It says in black and white that Cov are in Warwickshire!

it says Coventry is in the Historical County ie the one that doesn't exist anymore...


what did Richard Shaw say in the post match interview today?
