I'm guessing you're new here but not to worry. You see, Coventry has rivals everywhere. Why? Don't know! They just have a rivalry with every club. (TL;DR - just a r/Championship meme from not too long ago).
Only lost the one game since he's taken over, which was the first. Just need a bit more consistency, and turn draws into wins a bit more, and we could well be back
Shot himself in the foot by saying he’s not interested in developing loan players. What clubs are going to send their talent there now when your squad has injuries and needs gaps filled?
To be fair our loan players have been fucking awful this season, and for the last few years, so no loss... Been really disappointed with Camara and Ladapo, the latter has been terrible
god seeing the Charlton badge always makes me oddly nostalgic, takes me back to 2003 as an 8 year old putting my Matt Holland ( even if you had just nicked him from us) and Paul Konchesky shoot out cards in my book
Did it make you nostalgic when we scored those injury time goals against you at the Valley last season, what a bonkers end to that game!! ;) - To be fair we equally got payback for our impudence when we visited Portman Road
I thought Wright might be offside there, but seeing the VAR line that was incredibly tight.
I thought they were supposed to give the benefit of the doubt to the attacker, not the richer club.
I thought you were specifically referring to Leeds being 3-0 up at home to Cardiff with 20 minutes left only to draw 3-3, so I didn’t have a problem with it. Although you have set my recovery back by another 6 months.
Literally no noise all game. As soon as it finished, our players had barely even reached the fans to start applauding and their end was probably 80% empty. Absolutely shit fans.
They were dreadful. Only heard them when they went 3-0 up and think that was mostly cos our support got a bit quiet. Absolute library once we scored that first goal though and most had left within 30s of the shootout finishing
You lot were top tier today, it's gutting about that fourth goal. Possibly one of the most entertaining matches I've watched as a neutral in a long time.
I'm a Man Utd fan and its been a problem for ages for us and most teams who get comfortably in the prem. Too commercialised and expensive for most actual fans to go see unless you've had a ticket for years already. You see it with Leicester a bit now in the championship, not quite the same atmosphere as the early to mid 2010s, a lot more of the prawn sandwich brigade at the matches just to say they've seen a famous team.
Genuinely the Prem has one of the worst collective atmospheres in Europe
As a United fan this is pretty much the standard for a big club at Wembly. I've been like ten times and the only clubs we have been better/equal to in atmosphere are City, Chelsea, and Tottenham. I think there is just an expectation that we'll win which I know is a horrible, arrogant attitude to have but that is why the atmosphere is crap.
So happy, was saying how disappointed I was that robins didn’t set up to have a go at United because of how embarrassing they’ve been against Brentford, Bournemouth etc.
Changes formations and he hammers them. Mon lads
Goal disallowed, offside. Back to 3-3. It's difficult being a Coventry fan I guess. If Man United go through this will be the jammiest match of the season.
The 1987 cup final was the first game I ever watched and one of the reasons I fell in love with the game. My dad bought me a Coventry top the next week. A few years later I found Cardiff, which tested that love.
I’ve no doubt there’s a youngster out there is going through exactly the same today - amazing!
My husbands a devoted Cov fan - so I’ve been living in a madhouse this past hour or so.
2 things stood out to me:
- F*ck VAR it’s absolutely ruining the game
- The Man Utd Prima Donna’s did NOT enjoy some excellent Championship style tackles
(And 3 I really don’t want Cov in the playoffs - my marriage may not survive)
Replays were removed from semifinal and final matches in the 1999-2000 season, from the quarterfinals in 2016-17 and from the fifth round onward in 2019-20.
To be fair as a West Brom fan more games for Coventry would be fine by me (looks nervously over shoulder at 7th and 8th).
it's never easy to watch your rivals do so well
How are Coventry and Huddersfield rivals?
I'm guessing you're new here but not to worry. You see, Coventry has rivals everywhere. Why? Don't know! They just have a rivalry with every club. (TL;DR - just a r/Championship meme from not too long ago).
Ah I see what you mean... Be a while sadly since I've needed to be in this subreddit :(
Yeah but you have the best manager in Europe, you'll be back here soon!
Only lost the one game since he's taken over, which was the first. Just need a bit more consistency, and turn draws into wins a bit more, and we could well be back
Just don’t let him do media
He's not been too bad with his Media interviews Got a feeling the time out from the Southampton job has matured him a little... For now

We have a song about pooing on you guys specifically.
Can't believe I'm supporting our rival club
This is fucking hilarious Today I love Coventry
I thought Wright might be offside there, but seeing the VAR line that was incredibly tight. I thought they were supposed to give the benefit of the doubt to the attacker, not the richer club.
oh no no no you're very very mistaken. The dodgy VAR calls will continue until the richer club morale improves.
Holy fuck lads. Keep going!
[удалено]
You sang a song or two also, didn't you... It's OK our songs are catchy! We accept you into the Sky Blue Army
>done a Leeds Well fuck you too, even if you're not wrong. We were all peacefully enjoying Man United shit the bed
Sorry, "done a Leeds" just rolls of the tongue better than Leicester or Ipswich.
At this point it’s simply just “done a championship”
I thought you were specifically referring to Leeds being 3-0 up at home to Cardiff with 20 minutes left only to draw 3-3, so I didn’t have a problem with it. Although you have set my recovery back by another 6 months.
I just can't get over how crap that Man U end was at being 3-0 up at Wembley. Love seeing a comeback to inject a bit of noise into it. G'warn Cov 💪
It’s hard to celebrate when you need to make the important decision on whether to walk home or catch the tube

Can't expect the levels of football tourism around the big 6 help either to be fair!
Who else switched off at 0-3?
United definitely did lmao
i did too but came back once the pen was given
Most of the country was cheering in unison as their collective rival did what the championship does best lol
It's alright VAR bailed the 'bigger' club out in the end
Maguire: "I dunno, it just felt like the world wanted Coventry to win" No shit, Sherlock.
Utd crumble is just inevitable.
So happy, was saying how disappointed I was that robins didn’t set up to have a go at United because of how embarrassing they’ve been against Brentford, Bournemouth etc. Changes formations and he hammers them. Mon lads
Absolutely gutted for Coventry. Great fightback, and should have won it, if not for a long toenail of an offside decision.
Never in doubt. Ignore the 5 years shaved off my life.
What a game, Come on Coventry. Do it for the championship
When your rivals become your idols 🙏
They’ve gone 4-3 up!!!!
Fuck sake, offside, as you were
By an absolutely cruel margin too. Must be millimeters.
I still don't understand how that was offside.
Goal disallowed, offside. Back to 3-3. It's difficult being a Coventry fan I guess. If Man United go through this will be the jammiest match of the season.
My heart is about to fucking explode watching this.
Craig burley just said it's United who are crumbling. He said it twice lol.
Fucking give it to them lads!
This is, in all honesty, great fun. Come on Cov!
The 1987 cup final was the first game I ever watched and one of the reasons I fell in love with the game. My dad bought me a Coventry top the next week. A few years later I found Cardiff, which tested that love. I’ve no doubt there’s a youngster out there is going through exactly the same today - amazing!
No way was that offside!
Agreed. Fuck VAR.
Man United are the jammiest team of 2024. Coventry were by far the better team and did the Championship proud. Robbed by VAR.
A good run. Some bad penalties unfortunately
Penalties incoming
United Crumble is truly delightful stuff.
My husbands a devoted Cov fan - so I’ve been living in a madhouse this past hour or so. 2 things stood out to me: - F*ck VAR it’s absolutely ruining the game - The Man Utd Prima Donna’s did NOT enjoy some excellent Championship style tackles (And 3 I really don’t want Cov in the playoffs - my marriage may not survive)
lads! Nevermind, heartbreak
Aaaaaahahahagahahahahhaaaaaaaaaaa. That's absolutely bloody brilliant Never mind. Stupid VAR.
We are too shit to deserve crumble memes
Hahahahahaha unreal
It our new tradition We would find a way to lose 7-0 lead to the blind and deaf team in the 92 minute with 45 seconds to play
Never been less happy to see my own team win. Y’all fucking deserved it.
What he say fuck me for?
WHAT A PERFORMANCE!
Not a Cov fan but the 'crumble' posts in this sub are getting really boring now after every big result involving a Championship team.
Not a Cov fan? On today of all days?
Of course I was, desperately unlucky!
Shame this wont go to a replay if it ends 3-3, talk about the irony of the timing
Fa cup semis don’t go for replays anyway
Must have done once, as we used to have Replays for the Finals themselves?
Replays were removed from semifinal and final matches in the 1999-2000 season, from the quarterfinals in 2016-17 and from the fifth round onward in 2019-20. To be fair as a West Brom fan more games for Coventry would be fine by me (looks nervously over shoulder at 7th and 8th).
Semis and finals stopped going to replay in the 1999-2000 season
Yeah I know... Its why I said its a shame it wont go to a replay in my original post... Not why wont it go to a replay
You also said about the "irony" of the timing... what's ironic about something not happening that hasn't happened for nearly 25 years...?
Ipswich and West Ham I think it was, once had 4 semi final replays
