Aston Villa 3-2 Coventry (2000-01)

[@toph8298]

Remarkable how some of the mainstays in the PL went down in the year or so around this era and never returned. Coventry, Wednesday, Wimbledon, Forest.

Maybe get into the play off this year

[@raideryka]

😂😂😂 Fucking savage😂😂😂 But TBH after all those years Coventry spended in the lower leagues, I would like it if they return to the premier league. But with their current team they wouldnt survive more then a season, so IF they promote they will def need some better players to stay up.

I still wear that shirt. No.8 Angel on the back. What a day that was.

[@xennialnick]

My late father was a huge Coventry City fan. We live in Australia and I always asked him who was CC's biggest rivals. He always said Birmingham. He said the rivalry with AV was there, being closer, but the Sky Blue fans hated City more. I dunno. I always loved Aston Villa. Maybe that's why he said that.😅 Would love to see CC back though. They were up for...what was it 34 years?

Doubt it bellend, you won’t even get promotion. Ha you haven’t even got a home of your own 😂

[@paulmersonvillalegend4859]

MR A Since when’s in the last 20 years have Coventry been a premier league club you tube....? Coventry were promoted by default, it’s not like they actually won the league is it (fact)

[@paulmersonvillalegend4859]

MR A So are Coventry City in the premier league ? Because next season we could be as the gaps only a point, you won’t be that’s for sure for the 2nd decade running. If the worst comes to worst & we do get relegated it’ll be the 6 easiest points we’ll ever get home & Awa........ Oh sorry i forget Coventry City don’t have a home do they, oh well I suppose St Andrews is just off the Coventry Road isn’t it.......

[@paulmersonvillalegend4859]

MR A But you’re not even in the same league as us (literally), 4 points is 4 points there’s 15 to play for last time I checked mathematically we wasn’t down. So what if we go down we go down with our owners the 5 wealthiest in British football we’ll have a bucket loads of cash to throw at players & like I said it’ll be the easiest 6 points we’ll ever get, we’ll go straight back up & you’ll go straight back down for another 2 decades, 3 seasons It took us to get back you’ve ran out of fingers & toes to count how long it’s taken you guys.
