    Sisu - My message to you

    Up to a point. But didn’t see much respect or humility with the way they treated Ranieri or Shakespeare. Both were publicly briefed against and then sacked with v little compassion or understanding for what they’d actually achieved.

    Work in Liverpool. Don’t suppose either of you are the bloke I met when running the Liverpool half marathon last March?

    FA Cup Draw tonight - who do you want ?

    Hmm got to raise an eyebrow at all these folk who claim “an easy lower league team at home”. Have they not seen our record vs Worcester, Northampton etc.? Macclesfield or Stockport away for me but we’ll probably be away to Portsmouth

    Match Thread Southend United vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 20th Oct

    Yep. Plus this is exactly what Accrington did last season. Steady but not spectacular start and a consistent run for the whole season and suddenly they were in the autos, then top of the league.

    Chaplin vs pompey

    Yes as we had bizarrely signed a “gentleman’s agreement” not to play him. I suspect if we’d pushed it there’s nothing Norwich could have done about it.

    Loaning our players restriction ?

    Except the basic- Prem wages a club like Chelsea can offer a 16,17,18 year old mean that their development with the parent club paying the bulk of their wages makes sense for all involved. If (and it’s a big if) the rumoured wage of Sterling at Chelsea is correct (£18k a week was mentioned) 1)...

    Listening to CWR matchday commentary when not in local area

    It’s nothing to do with the BBC it’s the football league who own the rights and won’t let them licence the commentary online. iFollow for the match commentary is relatively decent price too.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Arsenal U21 Match Thread - Wednesday 12th Sep

    It was the first leg final of the FA Youth Cup in 1999. We were schooled by a young joe Cole and beaten over two legs 9-0! The crowd at HR was excellent (but exceptional in the literal sense) it was only our second appearance in the youth club final (the first was in 1987 when we beat...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Arsenal U21 Match Thread - Wednesday 12th Sep

    I’ll concede the point abt a buzz around the club during the Skyblue revolution era - but we quickly became the least well supported club in the region after the late 1960s. Really good crowds were occasional but 10k for reserve games is fantasy. Attendances were never published for reserve...

    Yep course they did. In fact that’s just the number who were in the WesternTerrace. And we never lost HR and there were no restricted views caused by steel girders. And the Bovril was worthy of a Michelin star. And all the local kids supported the City rather than Liverpool or Man Utd or Leeds...

    Bolton

    All true but it’s the money spent on David Wheater, Jay Spearing and Nigel Reo-Coker that’s probably more pertinent to their current plight.
