we offered everyone a reciprocal deal and no one took us up on it, blame their own clubs for being greedy bastards

1. That's not correct.

2. That means we suffer too when we go to their place. Not exactly like us fans are having the last laugh when our respective clubs can't agree.

You believe that because the club said it yeah? Like they said it was mandatory to collect European away tickets in the host city and that it was mandatory to travel to the FA Cup final on club chartered coaches?

How does Coventry City's trophy cabinet compare to Leicester City?

FLW compares the silverware that both the Sky Blues and the Foxes have won

Collage Maker-10-Oct-2023-08-03-PM-519
The M69 motorway in the Midlands is best known for one thing - keeping apart two bitter rivals in the form of Coventry City and Leicester City.

The two cities find themselves 24 miles apart and when their clubs face each other, it normally gets a bit tasty.


Both outfits have won plenty of silverware in their existence - but who has won more? Let's take a look.

How many times have Coventry City and Leicester City won the top flight of English football?

There was a world before the Premier League in 1992 where the First Division was the top division in England - but Coventry haven't managed to win that.

Their best-placed finish has been sixth in the 1969-70 season, but Leicester have had more success.

Having been runners-up in 1929, Leicester shocked the world in 2016 when they defied all the odds to win the Premier League title, pipping all the juggernauts of English football in the process.

It is something that the Foxes hold over many English clubs, and it's an achievement that Coventry fans resent.

 

How many second, third and fourth tier titles have Coventry City and Leicester City won?
Further down the Football League pyramid, both clubs have had plenty of success over the years.

When it comes to the second tier or the Championship, Coventry have won that once in the 1966–67 season, but Leicester have won it a mammoth seven different times, as well as winning the play-offs twice too.

Cov have also won the third tier on three separate occasions, whilst Leicester have won it just the once in 2009, owing to their time mainly spent in the top two leagues in their history.

And whilst Coventry have never won the fourth tier of English football, they were runners-up in 1959 and won the play-offs in 2018.

 

How many FA Cup and EFL Cup's have Coventry City and Leicester City won?
When it comes to the major domestic trophies in England, Leicester also have one over Coventry too.

They are still equal in FA Cup's however, with the Sky Blues winning their one and only in 1987 under John Sillett's management after defeating Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 at Wembley.

Leicester equalled that achievement in 2021 when five years after lifting the Premier League title, Youri Tielemans' screamer saw the Foxes win 1-0 at Wembley in the final against Chelsea.

They were runners-up on four separate occasions before they finally lifted the famous trophy, with the most recent second-placed finish being in 1969.

As for the EFL Cup, Leicester have been three-time winners of that, including winning it twice in the space of four years in 1997 and 2000 under the management of Martin O'Neill.

 

It all means that Leicester's trophy cabinet is more full than that of Coventry's, and they can add two Charity Shield's to that as well from 1971 and 2021.

Coventry did appear in the Charity Shield final of 1987 of course following their FA Cup win, but they were defeated 1-0 by Everton to make sure they did not lift that trophy.

 

 


Pretty sure that's not what the M69 is best know for, but I guess a student writer needs to come up with some kind of an intro...

It’s obviously an article designed to wind Cov fans up, but fails to mention that we’ve won the third tier in 100% of the seasons we’ve been there and never dropped to the 4th tier. Must try harder.

Entire pricing system across the league is absolutely awful. Football is overpriced now. 

 

The account seems to go at whatever club ticket prices they stumble across, rather than a thread of all the ones they've found, and spend too long defending themselves in replies

I can't actually imagine this being written by a human being. In one sentence, you could say that "in terms of the trophies available to top flight clubs, they have both won the FA Cup, but Leicester have also won the Premier League, the League cup 3 times, and the Charity shield twice". And yet this splurge that didn't need to be written either took a couple of hours or was simply put into an AI program.

 

Sod it... I've gone and googled him...Apparently he's a real person and  has published 1,182 articles in the last 162 days. Allowing for weekends etc, that's 10 a day. Not even sure its physically possible to write that many articles - they certainly won't have been reviewed and edited - just churned out thoughtlessly. 

 

Someone must be making money out of this nonsense - is it just as simple as advertising revenue from number of clicks? God it makes me feel old and grumpy...

Yeh but the Bees are good at Speedway…

and Cantwell led to a great 60s-70s football Christmas Hymne

They did. beat Spurs in a top FA cup final

And the whole of Britain,loves to send a large amount of people there.

Neither side recognises the M69,we both prefer to come in from the back way,

so our friends believe we went shopping with the wife.

They had more strikes,than they they tuned on the ignition through any given year…

This is the worst ****ing thing ive ever seen and I've never even heard of the prat in the video.

 

Claims he's a Liverpool fan, so has absolutely nothing to do with the club or the area. Sounds like the person behind it is leaving the club anyway so hopefully they don't produce anymore of this shite.

Who is the person behind it?

I tell you what, I don't find the guy funny or particularly entertaining based on this one video I've seen of him. He apparently seems to be friendly with the Sidemen and their mates, but I stopped watching their videos quite a while ago. I think I'm a bit too old for that kind of content.

 

But I did enjoy getting to see the training ground behind the scenes. And the willingness of the club to engage with YouTubers, including a player, the manager, the physio and the trainer, was actually really brilliant to see. Reaching that audience is actually quite important.

 

Also the physio in the video is one of life's good guys, really good to see he's still working for the club.
