Oh if you are talking our failed strikers we should be able to keep going until the new stadium is built!
But Graham Withey could wrong foot a complete defence with a miss kick and the only player who could score with a volley off the knee. I don't think he ever expected to be playing for a team like Coventry. You couldn't fault his enthusiasm or effort. I think I'd pick him any day over Freddie Eastwood who was just bone idle.

But that could be said of any over aged player at any club, doesn't make them shit just past there best. So would you say Pele and Maradonna were shit if they had played here at the end of their careers?
Just a stupid statement based on the last couple of seasons of a successful career

I'm saying most people would use an alias of a player that they remember fondly at Highfield road. Kevin McDonald once was a fine player at Leicester and Liverpool but here was a disaster.
The point isn't hard. What's hard I suspect for you is I can reel these players off very easily and you haven't a clue who I'm talking about.

I disagree with about 99.9% of G's posts on our current situation, but I'd support his knowledge of CCFC absolutely.

One we let get away...Chris Marsden 8 games on loan from Wolves coming back from injury. Didn't look fast but could pass a ball, had worked out where he was going to pass it while it was still on the way to him.
The sort of ball player we were crying out for and was always looking for the ball. We bulked at a fee of 50-100,000 for him. Would have been a bargain went on to play over 100 games for Southampton and became a fans favourite.

What was worse was that while he was with us, we spent £200k on Sandy bloody Robertson........

He had a reputation as injury prone. I remember after going to Wolves Linnell justifying it by screeching into the radio that Marsden had broken down with injury AND THAT's WHY we didn't sign him. However it turned out unrelated - it was a broken leg. He played well over 300 games afterwards and was definately one we should have signed. I think he was on loan from Huddersfield and Wolves signed him after we got rid. Sandy Roberstson? Well nothing to say there is there!!

You don't know anything about me. Don't make out you do.
Unlike you I know who I liked and who I didn't, but have never slagged off players or managers at Coventry,I would fight anyone who had a bad word for my team.
I am now older and the present owners have taken that pride away by making my beloved CCFC a laughing stock of the Football world. For that alone I will never forgive them or the people that have backed them.
So trot off and look for some more facts on the internet you troll.
Funny how you never comment on any football game related thread? :thinking about:

He only remembers the bad players and things he can slag off. We struggled most seasons in the Prem but for me they were good times.
Why would you just keep up dragging the bad points?
That's what pisses me off, I understand opposition fans doing it but not a so called Coventry fan.

There certainly was good times, many of them. I think it was a magnificent achievement to stay the top league of English football so long. I think there was only Liverpool, Everton and Arsenal who were there when we arrived and not been relegated during our stay.

Watching Madagascar with the little one. If a giraffe and a rhino can walk the tightrope, lions and donkeys can get up a hill.
Back OT: Isn't the real issue here that Fisher has seen the trust as adversaries ever since they refuse to condone the groundshare.
If he'd made efforts to engage fans rather than seeing everyone who didn't agree with him as an enemy we might have more than 2k turning up right now.

That Nick, would be funny as anything and would get massive media exposure, however, shouldn't the fans be wearing lion masks and the trust donkey masks, with the donkeys leading the lions in?
