Coventry’s Obsession With Us

[Lineker's Left Foot]

Just popped into the Sky Blues forum and they have a whole thread dedicated to our predicament at the minute.. bless saying we’ve cheated etc

 

To you is this a genuine rivalry or they equivalent to Forest’s Opinion of us how we couldn’t care less about them?

 

Looking at the fixtures hopefully they’ll be doing us a few favours soon 🙏

Anyone who was there in January would tell you its a genuine rivalry. That we had fans leaving the ground that day saying it didn't matter isn't half ironic now.

They arent wrong to be fair to them...

 

being from Hinckely myself i see them as a rival and i really have never liked them but it comes down to where you are from in Leicestershire. 

 

I have said it before but they could end up doing us some massive favours but knowing them they probably wont.

We would laugh at their demise too and I'm sure we did when they fell from grace and didnt even have a ground.

Let's not be too precious about our own shower of sh2t situation.

Completely agreed.
Plus we had a thread of here with Leicester fans calling for us to sue Man City and Everton for half a billion quid, they’ve stolen our future etc etc. This forum provides enough comic delusion (amen) without having to go to other teams’ to get your fill

A man whose logged onto another teams Forum but claims theyre the one who are obsessed?

We have threads on here with our fans saying we've cheated so hardly anything extraordinary about it.

Poor Cov, having to live with the curse of the Ricoh (now CBS) Arena. That hidden Leicester City shirt will haunt them forever!

Life is mainly toil and trouble

Two things get you through

Laughing when it hits your neighbour

Whingeing when it's you.

Same. Also from Hinckley and never really cared about Forest/Derby rivalry. All about Cov for me. 

 

Felt sorry for them in previous seasons but at current moment hope they bottle it completely. Fed up of Cov fans in my ear all day thinking they're billy big because they had a few good results. They'd kill for our successes in recent years.

Fans can talk all they want but it’s the team that does the talking that matters on the pitch. I doubt Coventry players are thinking about doing us a favor. They are focused on making the play offs so they need to win their games. Just so happens that it’s in our interest too.

**** cov

[Nolucklcfc]

They are absolutely obsessed but it’s because they don’t have any other rivals and want a rivalry with a big club … it’s the same with us and forest 

[StanSP]

Obsessed in the same way we'd laugh at them, Forest or Derby whenever they lose .

 

Every fan of each club is like 'we don't care about them' but will happily spend time caring whenever one of them fails, gets relegated, loses etc. 

 

Will gladly see Coventry make the playoffs (and lose) because it may mean they've beaten one or two of our title rivals on the way...

I have been winding them up for years, I should probably go and have a look at the thread at some point.

Id rather be us than them. Even our "demise" isn't as bad as their best moments in 30 years. Plus they have to wake up knowing they're from Coventry.

Coventry is a shithole. That’s why it got the City of Culture award. It’s an effort to stimulate investment to make where they live a little less shitty. And a lot of them are closely related to each other. Don’t be surprised by a six fingered handshake if you’re over that way.

That’s what they accuse people from Leicester of, incest and extra fingers.

I know a few cov fans & they all live permanently in 1987

Classic example of it depends where abouts in Leicestershire you live as seen from some of the responses. 

 

Some of us are happy to admit there is a rivalry for those in Hinckley etc.

 

The difference with that and Forest with us is that they go so far out of their way to claim they don't care about us rather than, you know, simply just not caring about us.

 

Derby seem to be fixated on their own recent issues to be fair.

Bloody hell ! That means they must think we have at least seven on each hand

Let's get this straight......

 

You go on another clubs forum to see what they are saying about us......

 

Who's obsessed about who again? 

 

[Brizzle Fox]

There are threads on several clubs forums about our predicament.

 

Our spectacular fall from grace is genuinely of interest to most fans.
