Incognito

Nice use of the word "here" when it should be "hear". Illiterate kernts.

The very same. Yes.

I wouldn't play Obertan if we were playing Stoke Mandeville.

He he, so its a grudge held against Jimmy Hill, since 1977?? Got a new found respect for Chinny after that! I was actually at the Bristol City game with my Dad, it did kick off late and Coventry were cruising at 2-0 up when the scoreboard at the Kop end of Highfield Road and the P.A. both announced the Everton- Mackems result. At that point Bristol City were relegated but they were managed by ex Coventry stalwart Alan Dicks, one of Chinny's players indeed.They soon scored twice to level which was good enough to keep both sides up. Indeed they spent the last 10 minutes passing the ball to each other and I remember Tommy Hutchison and Gerry Gow sitting in the centre circle chatting whilst the game was still on. Whether Jimmy Hill had got messages down to the pitch from the Director's box is another story, but Gordon Milne was the Coventry manager at the time, whilst Hill was Chairman.

Coventry narrowly avoided relegation at the expense of Sunderland during the 96-97 season. Obviously rather than this just being a simple twist of fate the residents of Mackemland have taken this personally and now hold a grudge against them. Basically, imagine us despising Hull for daring to finish one place above us when we went down because that's more or less their problem. I posted the bit below, are you sure it was 96-97? It goes back to May 1977, I think. The Mackems were relegated basically becaue Coventry and Bristol could have also got relegated so Coventry managed to get the game delayed for 15 minutes or so. Coventry and Bristol only needed a draw once the mackem result was known and they both p*ssed about for the last 15 minutes knowing that they didn't have to win the game. Coventry should have been shafted for that because it was almost certainly a fix, it was funny though at the time. Edit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Hill Despite his surprise departure as manager in 1967, Hill returned to Coventry City as managing director in April 1975 before becoming the chairman. As chairman, at a crucial relegation match at home to Bristol City at the end of the 1976–77 season, Hill delayed the kick off by 10 minutes for fans still outside caught in the heavy traffic. Relegation rivals Sunderland, playing at Everton kicked off on time. Sunderland eventually lost the game 2–0. Knowing that all Coventry needed to stay up was a draw, the Sunderland result was flashed up on the scoreboard. Hill made his players pass the ball around in their own half for the last 10 minutes of the game, saving Coventry from relegation at the expense of Sunderland, Tottenham Hotspur and Stoke City. Hill was never forgiven by Sunderland fans. Both are indeed correct, Coventry had a reputation of escaping relegation by the skin of their teeth, and Sunderland suffered twice. One season they loaned Mick Ferguson from Birmingham City who in his 5 games or so scored 3 goals including one on the final day, which helped Coventry stay up on the last day of the season at the expense of ...........Birmingham City, they then sent him back without buying him. Another season, they had to win their last 3 games, one of which were the champions Everton, for some reason, I think it was to do with the European Cup Winners Cup final, the game with Everton was put back until a week after the season had finished. Knowing they had to win to stop up, they did 4-1, mind the team Everton fielded was nothing like the team which won the League the week before. They also had the Speedie/Bennett fight in the late 80's in a 0-0 draw at Joker in the League Cup quarters before Coventry put 5 past them in the replay.

To be fair, just yesterday they were saying he was one of the world's best strikers. He must have had a complete loss of form in 24 hours because now they are saying he's akin to Kevin Kyle.

Coventry City, desperate at the bottom of the Championship, have signed eternal good luck charm, Herman Hreidarsson.

Nondescript game but great 3 points.

I thought Dean Gaffney had won it.

Bonus Gutierrez.

Yep, agree with Yorkie , there are tons of players who dramatically improve in the last year of their contract.

Did Yakubu's Samba go funny there?

Day Two- Owner took me for a walk but he can't spell . See Day One.

Tidied.

We'll be after Willie Whitelaw next.

Jammy cunts.

Posh fans singing North East top dogs, you're having a laugh, to the Mackems.

I reckon Whisky nose would keel over if City pull this back.

It's all good Randy, I was only jesting. I'm all for mature debate with rivals tbh.

When and why did they fuck Bazza Venison off ?

Hey Randy, what are you like at jaw wiring?

Middlesbrough will be putting bids in for them 2 then.

we've scored 2 today and created chances. I'd be more concerned if we weren't creating cos where Ba might score with his only chance, the likes of Best and Shola probably need 3 chances to get one goal. Pardew says Best is the best finisher at the club. He never leaves a morsel on his plate.

Pisses me off that Blackburn frequently do well at S J P when they are frequently shite.

Hoilett will go to Spurs I reckon.
