The Nii Lamptey Show

A thumping 6-1 has put City on the brink of those lovely play-offs.  Dom joins the Niis for the full whack this week to talk us through the goals, lax stewarding and inflatables from the weekend's all round enjoyable romp against Cheltenham. The Niis also mentally prepare for the BIG FIXTURE this weekend, and ponder just how "nil-nil" it might potentially be.

Two big games. One pleasing win against St Evenage. One swine of a defeat against a tough old Lincoln team. But the play-offs are still within our gift. The Niis dissect a confusing few days in the the race for 7th place in League Two. PS. Thanks to your votes we've been named as finalist in this season's Football Blogging Awards podcast category - Thank you! Please now vote for us to win the bloo...

The Niis are joined by Laurie to discuss how Cov managed to beat Crawley. Robins genius, or a total accident? You decide. Either way, the play-offs are looking dangerously close now. Lamptey be cautious.

The Niis ponder consecutive defeats and whether Robins fiddling and guessing is a good idea at such a crucial stage of the season. Spoiler: It's not.

The Niis are joined by Laurie to balance their time equally across the Easter fixtures, but naturally focus the majority of their attention on that bad thing that happened on Monday.

#standard  Neil is off the grid this week so Dom steps up to provide some positivity to balance Paul's comfortingly curmudgeonly take on a joyful 4-0 win against a desperate Gary McSheffrey toting Grimsby side. That's a very long sentence but I don't have the energy to cut it down 

The Niis discuss wind, Jonson's temper, Bayliss's brilliance, and everything else that contributed to a gosh darn effective performance against Crewe.  

Two very different games generate four useful points, but it could have been more. So there's a tinge of disappointment. However, Carl Baker is back, we're back in the play-offs, and Ryan Haynes treated us to his own mini Nike advert audition. That's all OK.

The Niis salute a mighty fine point in the face of adversity, an absolutely mental tackle by Michael Doyle, and the wondrous stride of Tom Bayliss. PS. All is forgiven Michael, you absolute lunatic.

The Niis spend time figuring out what went on against Brighton, and even more time figuring out what's going to happen for the rest of this season. Please note: You are NOT maniacs.

Like a glove you've had for ages that smells awful A duvet that the corpse was found draped inside The comfort food that ruins your intestines Coventry lose three games on the bounce again

Mainly carvery and Keanu Reeves chat this week.

We're back in the game. Again.

We spend most of the podcast paying tribute to the Coventry City legend who sadly passed this week before moving on to the reviewing the Exeter game, previewing the Swindon game and attempting to break the record for the amount of times a person has said 'Beavon' in a row

Slash, Wedgwood... Your boys took one hell of a beating.

Match alert. Matches have been going on.

It's the usual biz for the Lamptey boyz.  Talk about a game that's happened.  Talk about the game to come.  Whinge a bit.  Try and flog t shirts ( HERE since you asked )  

Cov fan, author, and all round top fella Steve Phelps joined us this week to complete a Sky Blue book double feature. In his second Pod appearance Steve regaled us with the magic of Peter Bodak and what it took to tell a tale that, whilst less well known than the '87 cup win, is still an incredible story of a remarkably talented young Cov team. Steve and last week's guest Jim Brown will be at Wate...

The Lamptey Boyz are joined by club statistician and historian Jim Brown to talk about his latest book, 'Play Up Sky Blues - Coventry's Rise to the Top' which charts the club's title winning 1966/67 season

Cheap as chips and spun from pure gold.  Wearing a Nii Lamptey Show T Shirt will make members of your preferred gender of sexual partner drop to their knees and worship at your feet, not to mention that it's a smart business investment too. For realsies though, it's a nice way to support us doing 6 years of free podcasts and the tiny amount of money that we'd get just goes towards the cost we incu...

We're back and ready to rock your world with some updated Cov City chat.

The match was boring. So the Niis bring back some quiztastic entertainment.
