Dame to Blame 95 Posted April 19, 2009 Ironic to think that Coventry could yet again have a big say in our destiny ,like they did when they surrended to Everton 4-0 to send us down on the last game of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mutley 74 Posted April 19, 2009 You mean when Everton gave Coventry the win so that they stayed up in 1985! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barry Brockes 147 Posted April 19, 2009 Yep, too right. It was so late in the season, or maybe even after the official end of the season, Everton had had their end of season party the night before. The story going the rounds at the time was that some of their players hadn''t even been to bed, or at least not to their own bed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Time to go Delia 0 Posted April 19, 2009 The year Coventry were allowed to play 3 matches after the season had finished with the final game being againt the Champions Everton , they needed 9 points and duly got them . Unforgettable really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Time to go Delia 0 Posted April 19, 2009 Actually it was probably 2 points for a win all those years ago , so make that 6 they needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K Lo 224 Posted April 19, 2009 Still bitter about that. Still hate Coventry (although not really their fault).Even now, Cov turned us over but rolled over to forest and will probabaly let Barnsley beat them too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jerzy Krukowski 5 Posted April 19, 2009 I still hate both of them. Coventry for being a sh*thole and sending us down in ''85 and Everton for everything else, though especially for beating us in the FA cup semi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
