Conte should be taking notes.

An old friend of mine (*friend* used in the loosest sense - a horrible bastard I knew is closer to the truth) used to play for Accy Stanley under Coleman back when they where still in the Unibond. He had a story that they beat some scary side of scouse drug-dealers and gangsters and had flee to the coach before getting beaten up. It seemed funny at the time, and strange that Coleman is still in the game and on the way to league 1 "household name" status!

actually for the 2nd time I think. they did us under him in the FA cup when we were L2 and some big P/T fatman called Gouk did a Ronaldinho on us.

WATCH: Coventry have snatched a late equaliser against Notts County at the Ricoh Arena from the penalty spot.

But should the penalty have been awarded? 🤔

that fucking dive by Kamamra!

calzino, Monday, 14 May 2018 20:20 (six years ago) link

Kamara, even. Once you've totally bottled this last year, the nerves are bound to kick in.

calzino, Monday, 14 May 2018 20:21 (six years ago) link

oh these ppl crying on tv already. And Nugent on the pitch. Go on Fulham!

calzino, Monday, 14 May 2018 20:35 (six years ago) link

these crying on the tv wankers are the fucking worst.

bingo

look I'm sorry it was only a joke (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 15 May 2018 02:23 (six years ago) link

I'd blissfully forgotten John fucking Terry was still playing football for a year or so! The serenity has been life affirming etc. Like he was dead and gosh I quite liked that, but it seems he's still hobbling about. Am I supposed to root for Fulham now?

mission stop Cardiff was a fail, they should be more motivated to stop JT at this last bite of the cherry juncture, the fuckers.

I just hope Christopher Schindler doesn't find out that clodhopping cunt is probably on 3 times his wage.

nxd, Friday, 18 May 2018 20:16 (six years ago) link

I would pay money for a KevinNolancam for the next half hour. He might actually explode.

Tim, Friday, 18 May 2018 20:20 (six years ago) link

Knight both assistant reffs imo

nxd, Friday, 18 May 2018 20:28 (six years ago) link

calzino, Friday, 18 May 2018 20:38 (six years ago) link

before I went out for a walk the commentary was saying Notts Co were in the ascendant, lol RIP Steadinho.

calzino, Friday, 18 May 2018 20:44 (six years ago) link

other than minutes 45 to 55 we smashed it, probs best performance since Exeter last autumn!

nxd, Friday, 18 May 2018 20:49 (six years ago) link

gl Tim for the final, if we had to lose it to anyone ill settle for exeter

nxd, Friday, 18 May 2018 20:50 (six years ago) link

Likewise.

When we were booking our holiday I checked the playoff dates and made sure we wouldn’t be away for the playoff final.

However I am a dumbass and now I hope to be watching the game from my mother-in-Law’s front room in Illinois.

Tim, Friday, 18 May 2018 20:53 (six years ago) link

It’ll be a little piece of easy devin in the Midwest.

Tim, Friday, 18 May 2018 20:54 (six years ago) link

Former Norwich City forward Grant Holt has signed a multi-show contract with World Association of Wrestling (WAW).

The 37-year-old, who played for Barrow in the National League last season, starts his wrestling training on Thursday and will initially combine it with his football commitments.

Holt is scheduled to team up with Rory and Zak Knight, known as the UK Hooligans, at Fightmare 3 in 2019.

How are you feeling about Monday's fun, nxd? It's weird for us, there's definitely less excitement around this Wembley trip than there has been for previous ones - that's partly because I think we're still smarting from last year (when I - and plenty of other City fans - think we had a team who were better than Blackpool's and froze on the day), partly because we've done a lot of unconvincing winning this year rather than looking awesome. Also partly because of the odd position with our manager (which I'll talk about if anyone's interested). Also also it seems likely that we'll be outnumbered four to one in terms of fans!

Tim, Wednesday, 23 May 2018 09:48 (five years ago) link

haha - i'm excited! hope the game's fun, coventry at least play well, tisdale wears a hat and if we do falter, we at least can keep hold of mcnulty and jodi jones for next year

it's really my main gripe, promotion meaning we lose three or four of the best we have, i'd throw bayliss and grimmer in there
otherwise, i've much more enjoyed this season to the previous five or six, so if we exeter do go up, pls pls cov have a similar or better year next season

can't make it to wembley unfortunately, but three of my best friends are brackley fans who went last weekend and had a great time, told them to leave some luck behind for us

think exeter are the better team, but we've been so inconsistent this season between amazing and awful it could easily be 4-0 to either ha

nxd, Wednesday, 23 May 2018 09:57 (five years ago) link

So Sunderland end up with the guy Rangers should have gone for - if only he'd been a big enough name for them - put your money on Sunderland winning League One in a cakewalk...
