Match Thread Sunderland - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 23rd Dec (6 Viewers)

[Johhny Blue]

Finding this hard to call, slightly less difficult than the last 2 but a different challenge. Not sure Beale has been there long enough to get a bounce but I think he's already said he's not going to try and change too much. We're definitely capable of winning, just can't try and be too expansive in the 433 or it'll end up being another 5-4 job. Wouldn't be totally surprised to see Dasilva on the left again so we can double up on Roberts/Clarke

Can see another draw but I'll be positive and go 2-1 City.

Collins
MvE Thomas Kitching Bidwell
Saka Eccles Sheaf Dasilva
O'Hare
Simms

Wilson, Fadz, Lati, Binks, Allen, Ayari, Palmer, Wright, Godden

Why do I keep reading “DaSilva” but keep thinking “Dacosta”?

Google 25 things you didn’t know about Coventry. That’s why we are proud to be Coventrians

Why on earth would I want to do that? It’s a pathetic argument.

Maybe because you are pathetic and need educating. Why always put our City down it’s an amazing place with great history. There’s not many City’s or Town that can say that

Baffles me why there is a lack of pride…our City has been the lead in so much over the years and yet still we feel the need to defend it… and that’s against people who should have such an affinity with the city.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

He must walk around Coventry with a blindfold on. Sunderland has a fantastic coastline, and we're improving things in the city centre right now

Bizzare thing to say

And Cov has more History than Sunderland will ever have.

I'm so embarrassed for you. In all seriousness, you need a therapist.

Would you mock me if I admited to therapy? Par for the course for you, you horrible excuse.

I'll send you my number if you want?

 

[shmmeee]

I’d just like to say therapist is very triggering language.

Is therapist one word or two?

Paris is far worse. Brussels is rubbish. Thought Tirana was a depressing place despite recent popularity. A lot of the French and Italian cities are places you wouldn't step foot out of the tourist areas.

In regards to the second, that's sort of my point. It's easy to say how nice Ibiza is but I went in Feb for a half marathon and the place looked worse than a standard British town.
Places like Coventry look great and vibrant in the sunshine, but very miserable and depressing in January.

Berlin and Athens for starters

Athens is much nicer than London. It's like Barcelona vs Accrington Stanley in that sense. To compare it is laughable.

Brussels and Paris are complete shit holes, the bottom of the barrel, but on the same level as London. Out of 30+ countries in Europe, the fact you are comparing those capital cities in their own mini league once again proves my point.

Berlin I'm not a massive fan of, but it is probably one up from the above. As for the 'shit' cities in France and Italy, there are some, but again, a handful not on a scale of the UK, or even close. Marseille, Naples, Palermo... shit, a few others in another mini league. The UK though? You could say of the top 20 cities, 18 are godawful. To try and say otherwise is just delusion.

Also, Ibiza in February? What did you expect? Still better than most of UK, but it just gets more and more funny you would even bring that into the debate. Most local inhabitants of the balearic Islands don't even work between November and March it is that shutdown. Own goals galore here.

this is all rather silly but Shakespeare is nothing to do with Coventry. Lady Godiva is born from Urban Myth - as this is a football forum Sunderland gave us Brian Clough

Godiva's horseback protest developed from a story penned 100 years after her death, the actual woman was not.

Who was Lady Godiva? | HISTORY

You might associate the name “Godiva” with a brand of Belgian chocolates, but it was first popularized as part of a 900‑year‑old English legend. The original Lady Godiva was an 11th century noblewoman married to Leofric, the powerful Earl of Mercia and Lord of Coventry. As the story goes, Godiva...

Considering what you were saying, I'm not surprised. I'd be banned from here if I said the ridiculous things you said

 

[Irish Sky Blue]

I think Brian Clough, while a Sunderland player for a couple of years, was actually born in and played for Middlesbrough.

So old hat I raise you the development of the LED?
Developed by the Americans of course.

And what a goal-scorer!

 

[Calista]

To be fair, the legendary history and status of Roker Park is something that Highfield Road (which holds a place in my heart) could never really match.
