of course, prior to the Blitz it was one of the  most beautiful medieval city's in Europe and sadly, never recovered it's reputation architecturally from a 'build in haste, repent at leisure' regeneration policy after the war, but let's not let Hitler get in the way of some cheap jibes at the city's expense. For those wishing to obtain a more balanced view, Coventry has a fine record in job creation over the last few years and is still home to one of the world's greatest  automotive brands - an industry the city was central in creating.

Two shit cups though, they have fallen since the Fergusson era.

Winning the UEFA Cup is now a direct route into the Champions League, so it has suddenly gained a lot more prestige.

The only time i've looked for the Coventry score in recent years is if i've had their game on a coupon. They hate us more than we even slightly dislike them.

ive just watched a game, on sky, that wouldn't have been out of place in the parks league, and we got relegated from this league.

I've seen teams come to VP this season every bit as good as teams in the middle/lower reaches of the PL.

Come on Chelsea get it together. The mere thought of  Spurs winning the title would be unbearable with the media bias towards them.

Getting close but Chelsea have four home games left.....Sunderland, Boro, Southampton and Watford.

Think Spurs will have to win all their games left to even have a chance and we all saw how good they were at that when it come to the crunch at the end of last season.

The only thing I can think of that would be more nauseating than Spurs winning the League would be Liverpool winning it again.

Spurs winning it would be annoying, especially as it's the last year at WHL so would be a media wankathon, but I dislike Chelsea far more than I do Spurs. Pretty much anything that shits on EBJT and their wanky plastic fans is ok with me.

Tut, tut, tut! You know the rules of Mockney sports journalism. It must only be referred to as The Lane - just as all of sudden this time last year, West Ham only ever played at The Boleyn.
