Coventry City's promotion to the Premier League is the culmination of 25 years of graft and unrequited love. Doing it as champions mattered.

I think Clinton Morrison might just be the best co-commentator I've heard for years. Positive, enthusiastic and relevant all the way. #CRYWHU
It's free with every monk haircut and robes.

It's no less than they De Zerb.
It's fair to say the BBC website got a bit caught out by West Ham there.

Just saying.
I FEEL OLD.
Makes England in the 70s look like a load of fuss about nothing.
I feel like my memory's been wiped...
Much has happened in the intervening years...
I don't remember that!
I have to say, this is one of my favourite episodes of TSoF. You did a wonderful job of telling the story in an engaging way. Lots of pictures painted in the mind. ๐
FROM THE ARCHIVE: 10 years ago we marked 50th anniversary of the theft of the Jules Rimet trophy in London by conducting our own investigation into the crime. We found a story that went way beyond an opportunistic theft, including spies, geopolitics and gangsters www.sofpodcast.com/2016/03/soun...

I was watching him in The Sweeney only the other night. Very good he was too.
An ideal opportunity to reuse some of our old material from 2009. ๐
Bolivia beat Suriname 2-1.
12 minutes of additional time at the end. Not quite up to Morocco v Senegal standards, but you can't have everything.

Trying to imagine a World Cup featuring Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo. #mindblown

Oh muddilng on, much as before, thanks... ๐
Happy Birthday, Rich! Hope it was a good one...
I was just recalling you saying that on a previous podcast. Hand goes to chin... ๐ค
Jeez, the bottom SEVEN in the Premier League all drew this week. To say it's getting tight is an understatement. โฝ
Lennon wore it properly.
You can go off some people, you know...
