The Nii Lamptey Show

*sound of a whoopee cushion being slowly deflated*

The Niis talk Scunthorpe, correct shirt number distribution, life, love and Lee Burge's Karmic Football.

Nii 4 Bigi + Stevenson i.d.s.t

It's sad how regular this has become.  Just over 18 months passes, another manager leaves.  After a disastrous start to the season Mowbray walks and in Neil's absence the remaining Niis are joined by Laurie ' @thelonelyseason ' Kilpatrick to dissect the games against Gillingham and MK Dons, err, I mean Wimbledon. (shit)

***New Cov Zero!!!*** Zero Goals Zero Excitement Zero Enjoyment whatsoever!!!

The Niis dissect a frustratingly familiar defeat to Bradford https://sidewayssammy.wordpress.com/ http://thelonelyseason.club/ Take a second to review us if you get the chance - cheers y'all  

It's their Quasquicentennial and the Niis are fired up after no goals in two games.  As usual they still manage to bleed an hour of jibber jabber out of it. Check out  Sideways Sammy  and  The Lonely Season  to supplement your Cov fan multimedia experience

Hold onto your hats boys and girls, it's the first Nii Lamptey Show of the 2016/17 season!!! Have we got a show for you as we sum up Swindon with Laurie 'The Lonely Season' Kilpatrick, pick apart Portsmouth with Neil 'Nutmeg' Allison and broadcast the EFL cup draw LIVE!!!  The Niis treat you to top quality content as they predict the draw outcomes for a number of teams ahead of the big prediction...

The Niis are joined for the final time by  the outgoing head of Comms at Cov, Kieran Crowley . Paul talks about the Oldham game and and a positive end to an overall frustrating season. The Niis and Kieran then talk about the retained list and reminisce over times gone by and a  particular goal of the month competition  

God bless you all, you hardy souls.  That you're stilllistening given our relentless misery over the last few months isnothing short of heroic. We soldier on this week after another (sorry) short gap andbriefly cover our recent home successes and Doncaster trauma. We then move on to the first part of the season dissection. It's quite long

The Nii's didn't do a pod last week and it was through a sense of nominal obligation that they do one this week. Paul tries to help Joey remember what happened in the Wigan game and Neil tells us about his gastroenterological anomaly  They're actually still talking now and Joey has hit record without them knowing it.  Let's see how this goes...

  Shit Sandwich

In a desperate attempt to spice up their relationship the Niis invite another man to join in on their pod shenanigans.  Coventry City comms guru and all round nice guy Kieran Crowley joins us for his annual visit like a Brummy Father Christmas; depositing cold, hard insight into your filthy stockings. We talk Jim O'Brien, Joe Cole, Rice Pudding, Ben Stevenson, Reda's injury, atmosphere on the trai...

The Niis are here to talk about the Blackpool game for some reason.  It was a game that vanished from memory before the spectators had left the ground and yet Joey still manages to drone on about it for 40 minutes without actually saying anything (and watching the utterly riveting Bayern vs. Juve) game. We also announce the end of the interminable Art of Football t shirt competition, (sort of) ans...

Last week's extended audio suicide note was so enjoyable that we thought we'd do it again. Neil is back in hizouse talking Rochdale but he can't lift the gloom as he bemoans the inexorable decline of the last few months. With  Laurie  presumably having thrown himself off a cliff, under a bus and into a bath tub (while holding a plugged in toaster) we drafted in friend of the pod and the only non o...

a 74 minute existential howl at the moon

This week:  The Niis reflect on a job well done in the 6-0 pummeling of Bury and ponder how Reece Brown is still employed as a professional footballer.  Time is given to Jim O'Brien's departure, Joe Cole's delivery people called Reice/Reece being hit in the face with a football.  There's even an opportunity speculate about the shape of Joe Cole's privates.  Ooh err

Hey hey,  After a technology enforced absence the Niis are finally back.  It's late enough as it is so I won't keep you long here. Joining us this week to talk about the Port Vale game is Laurie Kilpatrick who you may know better as the man behind 'The Lonely Season' blog  http://thelonelyseason.club/  - if you've not already done so then get over and give it a whirl cos it's bloody excellent We h...

Hi,  Sorry for the delay.  We recorded this last week before we'd signed the class of 2007 so there's no talk of Hunt, Ramage etc.   Bye

Hey suckaz! A tired trio of Lampteyz soldier on to talk about a game that everyone saw and no one needed us to talk about.  The general mood is one of grrr as we hold court on the usual topics.  You know what the crack is by now.   Love you x p.s. #ChatFlipGetBopped (© @SkyBluesBlog)

A wet and windy 2-2 draw causes some friction at Lamptey Towers despite us staying top of the league (well, for a couple of days) and the boys come to blows over the impact of missed chances, (ours against them) gifted chances (theirs by us) and the acceptable use of the word 'issues' 

Howdy y'all Sorry we left you for so long but we're back.  The Nii's should be well rested but Joey is noticeably tired and brain dead this week and this has resulted in this entry being short and the pod going out unedited.  That potentially sounds exciting like you'll get to see behind the curtain but instead you'll just hear Joey fucking up links more than usual and a live discussion about movi...
