The whole things a fucking circus. Why does the bird have to keep waffling on about “they beat x on Sat” etc. 

Showing your bias here, the person presenting the draw ALWAYS gives little details like that when the team's come out.

He knew that but it's a good way of getting a bite or two... ;)

I mean the tie is good for us but overall pretty shit in the grand scheme of things.

Other than Spurs vs Brighton / [Arsenal] vs Leicester, a fair number of PL clubs will fancy themselves to go through

I was hoping for Man City/Liverpool/Chelsea/Utd/Everton etc to have to face each other

Have felt an affinity with Coventry for years, and the feeling seems to be mutual...

Me too my lad went to Uni there had many a good night out in Coventry.

Saw Catfish&Bottlemen first time at the Ricoh.

As a club they have had rough times playing in Birmingham etc but they have a few good players but about same as Swansea but better up front. 
Robins has done wonders there

Great draw, perfectly  winnable but they are better than Swansea and Robins is a good manager. Will be a tough game.

l always loved Coventry. Mainly for two tone. Easy ground to get to and usually a good game. 

For years they were an equal status to us. Scandelous  the way they have been treated, boy did we dodge a bullet there. 

My favourite comment, years ago, from a Coventry fan was that 'Southampton had gone all lah di dah .... page 1 of Ceefax'. A rare event for either club in the 90s, sums up that period.

Lots of PL draws as well. Bring it on.

Coventry will being loads, hope we make it cheap tickets to try and fill the stadium.

They will mate, Cov fan I know who lives down here reckons they'd bring over 5000 (whole Northam) if we give it to them like Ipswich had a few years back,  make tickets cheap and try to fill the whole ground.

I have very fond memories of the last time we played Coventry. My wife said she has never seen me show so much emotion as I did watching the scenes at the end of that game.

Same here was in tears at end blubbering like a baby. Great day!

Always had an affinity with Coventry, my first ever game aged 9 was Saints v Coventry in 1983. One of my friends at work is a big Coventry fan, so really looking forward to this one. 

I've always felt that they're very similar to us in terms of size and support.
