He's got a point to be fair. They did out sing us. We were arrogant about Crewe as a football club. They do seem to have the voodoo over us in recent seasons
You deserved that. I'm sorry, but you really did. Like I kept telling you all, we wouldn't be overawed. Arrogance is not a good quality.
See you at Gresty Road.
Haha and you are all still at it. We turned up, we counter attacked the feck out of you, and our 'tinpot' fans sang the feck out of you. We are a proper club. You underestimated us.

I'm looking forward to Crewe away in a few weeks, I want to see if they're so brave face to face because they seem so brave on the internet and i've never met one in real life.
Listen, Coventry are a big club (too big to be getting quite so excited about the Jpt?) with a great history but there were a lot of crass comments about our club in the build-up to the game and you did get the feeling you were setting yourselves up for a fall. Especially when there was no appetite for this one among Alex fans. We are no mugs - we have sold two young players to the pl in the last year for a combined total of 8 million quid. Thanks to the footballing god that is Dario Gradi we have one of the best academies in the country and have developed the likes of David Platt, Neil Lennon, Rob Jones, Danny Murphy, Dean Ashton and Nick Powell to name just a few. The club has consistently over-achieved for the past 20 years and is flourishing in both football and financial terms and, I believe, we are deserving of some more respect. So I think the cocky articles in the Cov telegraph and daft youtube video released by the club carrying on like you'd already won were ill-advised.

The newspaper article is done for every game. The YT video struck me as a little cringeworthy but didn't seem presumptive of a result.
Let's be fair to the guy. Yesterday's result was the greatest night in the history of Crewe Alexandra, he's going to be more than a little happy.
Absolutely right, their giant killing of a top flight club will go down in their history books, it's just something we'll have to live with.

Keep telling yourself that. Twice this season now. Don't think you have beat us in about ten years.
People get arrogance and confidence confused. We were confident we were the better team. Last night we proved it. It didn't win us the game; but the stats bear out the one-sided nature of the game.
It was a freak result, with the score not bearing witness to the game. It won't happen twice and this is a two-leg affair lest people forget
Kind of reinforces the point we're making this comment doesn't it?
No, it confirms that Coventry fans have a sense of humour I very much doubt he had a straight face when typing it !
Sour grapes from a bitter Bertie more like.
It was meant to be a satirical comment about this whole arrogance thread. Didn't think for one second some dullard would take it seriously. :facepalm:
Talking of arrogance, see the post from Crewe fan Simon, to see the irnony of you calling us arrogant.
Oh and if we havent beaten you much in the past ten years its because more often than not we have been in a league above. Nob!
Easy to make post-hoc, unverifiable claims of satire - these were exactly the types of comments from Coventry fans before the game 'tiny club, lucky to be playing at a ground like ours snore...'
also, I believe last time we beat them, we hammered them 4-1 and relegated them? don't really remember shitty teams like Crewe tbh, now thats arrogance
The last time you beat us was in the FA Cup. You have never relegated us.

See you at Gresty Road.
WE definitely beat you in the championship, and it either confirmed your relagation, pretty much confirmed. I seem to remember a swindon fan saying poor Crewe, and I replied saying yeahh we relegated them :wave:
