Settle an argument: did you call them shinies or foils?

Foils....
And a common one at my school was:

"You dont even need John Barnes, you cunt!!!"

And it was the only time in history Mr Peter Billing would've been worth more than the entire Liverpool team.

(I should know, I endured enough of him at Highfield Road... that fella needed someone to put a bell in the ball so he knew where he should run)...

Of course he was wank...

If he displayed any talent whatsoever we would have sold him quicker than shit through a goose...

*mourns loss of Jay Tabb...and every other player who knew how to kick a ball...and so were promptly flogged for next-to-fuck all whilst we languish in the mire of fucking mid-table obscurity...only to survive fucking relegation on the LAST.FUCKING.DAY.OF.EVERY.CUNTING.SEASON*

annnnnnnnd....breathe.

Its a bitch...
...you want to try living within the shadows of Arsenal's ground...

When I tell people I support the Sky Blues, they look at me with a look of pity... One time someone even squeezed my shoulder and said:

"Oh, well - nevermind..."

Similar...
I was actually born and brought up in Birmingham, it being my dad's pernicious influence which led to me supporting the Sky Blues.

On the up side, I used to get all the spare Coventry City Panini stickers that the lads didn't want, cos they felt sorry for me (I was only allowed to buy one pack a week, or something, and I was a girl).

On the down side, much mickey taking took place, ranging from the usual, 'your team are shit' taunts, to cleverer stuff which I can't remember at this time of night.

Another thing - you're not alone down there - my sister supports the mighty Cov and lives in the shadow of Arsenal's ground too.
