Cajun Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Just a question, why do they seem to hate Coventry so much? Were probably BFF, even got the flag printed up only for Coventry to tell them they didn't really like them. Basically Sunderland are a pathetic non-entity that try and make 'friends' with every club they come across because they aren't significant enough on their own.

David Icke - Son of God Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Just a question, why do they seem to hate Coventry so much? 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After they've been relegated and are in a different league probably for keeps... Nope, that level of self-pity is completely beyond my imagination. If they weren't so despicable I'd try to advise them to seek professional help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Mick is right. Didn't twig at first, but I do remember a mackem mate of mine once telling me that they all despise Jimmy Hill over there. I seem to recall him telling that story too.

It was made worse for them knowing that we'd finished 5th and had qualified for Europe, 8 points behind Liverpool who won the league. It went tits up for us a year later when we followed them down.
