Coventry City

[jaycee]

After us and the arse, coventry had the longest unbroken spell in the top division.

In this respect they're a bigger club than the rs.

(I know the media like to ignore history at the moment, so many people might not know this)

At least the likes of Sunderland only stunk the league out for 10 years,8th is the highest Coventry have finished,grey club from a grey city,havent missed them in the slightest

Seems to be some animosity towards Cov!

Great to see them on the up. Big support potentially.

Who can forget that brown strip they wore in days of yore?!

Arguably the worst kit ever seen in any league, anywhere in the world!
Once seen, never forgotten

All I know is they buggered up a perfectly good Monty Python sketch when they won the FA Cup in 1987.

Spent a week in Coventry once, a mate studied there. It felt like a fortnight.

Also never stank out a CL final against Real so another reason why they're bigger than the rs.

They were a cracking side from 1967 to about 1979 !!

Just to rub salt into the wound the goalscorer was Ernie hunt was ex Everton, his real name was Roger but he had to use 'Ernie' to avoid confusion with he of the RS

 

[Baines' left foot]

I absolutely hate them. Joke of a club. Hope they go straight back down.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

No
Went to see them when they had to beat millwall at the ricoh arena to stay up
Miserable crowd spaces everywhere
Got beat 1_0 and ended up relegated
