THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

Pissing people off since 2004

Have you ever seen such a dejected set of fans than the Coventry lot on BBC2?

Yes.
December 10th 2016.
And I made no attempt to cheer them up.

Agree BUT they had to do the emotions in public, we just went "bo**ocks" in private

Coventry has been perpetually miserable for decades, my Uncle lived there, he was a miserable bastard as well

I have always regarded Coventry as simply a "dull" team....ever since I started getting into football in 1980. They always have been that to me, never been a fashionable club with any outstanding players. And to be honest, Coventry "the place" is pretty much a dull city too !

At least we cannot be accused of being "dull", whatever anyone says about us !

Let's be honest though....an underwhelming draw....for both clubs. They wanted a Man United or a Liverpool as much as we did. But as good a chance as at for us to progress to the 5th Round.

Carl Baker was a bit exciting.

We're still on for my prediction of Spurs in the 6th round

Well surely after 'getting a big team' comes 'getting a winnable draw' which for both of us it is.
I'd like some revenge.
There's was one of the few away games I've attended in recent years.
Dreadful afternoon - even if I did win big in the casino before the game.
I'm frenzied.....(ish)

I am absolutely flabbergasted you’ve just referred Coventry as a “dull” place and said we can’t be considered dull:lol: we are from Milton Keynes

Coventry 3rd in league two mk dons 19th in league one. I don't think it is a cut and dried as you all think. I know cov are playing the best football they have in a while. Where as we are bang average at best. I do obviously say this before the tie is played (we have two fucking huge games between now and then) but we can't hand oh heart say we are dead certs for this. In fairness this is one of the worst draws we could have. Team playing well. Big away following. Its the kind of game if we don't get it right mentally we are fucked

I don’t think it’s cut and dried, Will be tougher than QPR imo. Mark Robins is a good manager and will have them well up for it. We will certainly need to be at our best that’s for sure.
