Coventry

Sigh, One relegation place, three clubs, Sunderland, Coventry and Bristol city. Coventry play Bristol city last game. Jimmy hill has the game delayed 15 minutes, when news came through we got beat, both the teams 'stop playing' to relegate us.

Oh I see, similar to what happened in a WC with West Germany and (i think) Austria?

Fair enough fella, those sorts of things tend to stay with you for years <ok> <laugh>
 
I was at Everton that night, when the cheating chinny bastard did his bit to make sure that we were relegated instead of the Coventry bastards or the Robin bastards, and yes, the memory is still as fresh now as it was then.

I've hated Coventry and The cheating bastard Chin ever since and that won't ever change . . . . I, too, wish that the **** was still alive to witness this fantastic day as far as that ****ty club is concerned :emoticon-0105-wink:
 
It's weird.
Although I hate Coventry I have no animosity towards Bristol City.
Infact, tbh, I have a soft spot for them.
Why, I have no idea, I just do.

Ultimately it was Coventry who got the delay and Coventry who got the message to the players of our result. Bristol City are guilty of being opportunists and that's it really. But the corruption came from the FA's dead bent chin dildo.

Aye, that's how it happened Brian.
I was in the forces with a lad from Bristol, big City fan.
One of the nicest blokes I have ever met.
He told me one time that back in the old days when it was divisions 1,2,3 & 4 that they had to apply for re-election to the league more times than any other club.
Maybe that's why I have some affection for them.
