    Something for you older City fans......................

    19 May 1977
    Last match of the season
    Coventry City v Bristol City
    A draw will keep both teams in (the old) Division 1.
    Guess what?
    2-2.
    Sunderland, Stoke and Tottenham go down.
    Coventry City and Bristol City both survive by one point!

    Might be a little different this year!!

    Your football history cannot be faulted, but how the **** is your thread connected with this season?

    I was actually trying to start a thread which would evoke
    memories from the older fans.
    I remember that at the time there was a 'bit of a fuss' about
    both teams playing out time.
    The link is that here we have both teams playing an important match
    towards the end of a season, but this time I bet there will be no
    playing out time.
    Oh......I'll get back to making up 5 word sentences and reminiscing about
    great records from my misspent youth!

    Amazing thing about that year is that Tottenham got relegated - could Villa go this year?

    I'd laugh if they did. What were they thinking of getting McGleish in?

    I Rated N'Zogbia was a very good player at newcastle and wigan, but both teams were rather shocking at this point

    plus when villa was appointing didnt they want martinez?? they were clearly desperate and cheap

    We and coventry will both stay up with millwall going down. They are the only other team with form as bad as us. 4 points behind them

    Unfortunately 3 points from 4 games played isn't good enough to stay up Shiny. Also 7 points from thirteen games is relegation form. big time. The saving grace is that all four teams in the immediate danger area have been playing as badly as each other. Each one has had a bit of a spurt but only florest have put any real form together.

    i think coventry might have hit form to early, unbeaten in 6 games, i can see that ending soon
