The Nii Lamptey Show

Hello good people. We recorded a podcast last week. It was a day or two after the rawness of the Sunderland defeat, and that is reflected in the variety of thoughts that you will hear in this episode. It's hard to know quite what emotion to feel when you miss out on the playoff final in that fashion, so the Niis had a go at feeling most of them. It's been an absolute pleasure to serve you for a 13th consecutive season, and we shall be back again next year for more Cov chit chat.

Joey has done something different and has got together with Graham from the What The Fauk Sunderland Podcast to talk specifically about the big fixture: Coventry vs Sunderland. So if you want to hear a little bit more about the upcoming playoffs but in conversation with somebody who has a different accent to what you're used to, this is the podcast episode for you. All the best.

We are Coventry City - Championship playoff contenders. Again. What were you worried about?  Joey, Neil and Dom saw us beat Boro and make the playoffs. In this podcast episode they discuss very specific elements of that match, and maybe, if you're lucky, the upcoming game against Sunderland. GO FOOTBALL!

We have completed the Easter period and remain, somewhat inexplicably, in as strong a position as we started. 6th place, 3 points clear, with our destiny very much in our own hands. This merry bunch of sods will talk you through things, and also the general contempt towards the quality of the league this season. Sure, there's some questioning about "how good are we?" but also some "please just get us to the play-offs, we want another adventure". It's Joey, Neil, Dom and Gav for this one. We asked Paul but he blamed a crossbar for impairing his view at Plymouth, and thus, was unavailable to talk about it.

They told us these three games would be three big games. Haji Wright Sunderlanded Sunderland; Gus Hamer Sheffield Uniteded us; and then Liam Kitching and Brad Collins encouraged Burnley to do a Burnley. Joey, Neil, Dom and Imogen have a go at Lampteyfying those fixtures. Have a great time with it.

Hallo. Neil here. I'm not on this week's podcast and yet I demand full responsible for uploading it. I'm currently swigging a Friday afternoon pint in a place that's too noisy, so have no idea what the episode is about, but all I know is that it's going to be a national sensation. That's the vibe I get. The good news is we just lost a game for the first time in ages so that always makes for thoughtful discussion. You go ahead and enjoy. I dare ya.

Welcome back to our podcast. Cov just can't stop winning and your Niis just can't stop acknowledging it (except for the last 3 weeks when we haven't podcasted). This week we talk about all the good things that have happened, and all of the good haircuts in the current squad. We also explore the complexities of disagreeing with others around you at football, and not losing your shit when somebody tells you to stop being so loud. If that's not enough, we also talk about Coventry City IN FULL. Please note: We have strong love feelings for all the Cov players and many humans in general. While we make a few jokes about haircuts and such like, there's often nothing vicious about it.

It's been a good couple of weeks, so feel free to shove that "reality check" up your jacksy. Leeds are a good team. What a surprise. Your favourite fortnightly podcast returns to talk about the stuff you don't want to. And as an extra special treat, Joey, Neil and Dom are joined this time around by the Football League's anytime goalscorer savant, Mr Gavin Horsfall.  You simply must listen.

Cov have rattled through January and are now engaging in something closely resembling "form". The Niis remain coy, though. Join Joey, Neil and Dom as they discuss what it's like to win two (or three) games in a row. All the best to yer.

The last time you heard from us they'd just sacked lovely Mark. Much has been said and done since that episode, so it's high time the Niis got back together to discuss. Joey is joined this week by Dom and Laurie, and special guest Lew. Enjoy yourselves.

In the immortal words of Didier Drogba: it's a disgrace. It's a flipping disgrace. Even though we podded two days ago, it was absolutely essential for the Nii Lamptey Show to get together and discuss the sacking of the greatest man in history, Coventry City saviour Mark Robins. Join us for our thoughts and emotions. All the emotions, all the memories. Thank you Mark. You'll always be our king.

He lost to Sheffield Wednesday, lost to Preston, couldn't beat QPR. They were going, "Well he's definitely sacked now." He beat Luton 3-2, then Middlesbrough 3-0, pulled over and said "What were you worried about?"

Oooh, look at the Nii Lamptey Show, taking a relaxed, light-hearted approach to things and going a bit existential. Just trying to be popular as the oldest Cov podcast around. Pathetic.

Leeds = bad. Blackburn = loads better. It's been a wonky old fortnight. We lost some games and a few people started to worry. Unfortunately, some of those worriers were also the current set of players and that included a dreadful performance against Leeds. However, at the point when everyone thought we were bound for the Championship rubbish bin, we turned up again and beat one of the only unbeaten teams in the league, and did so fairly convincingly. The Niis investigate how this could possible happen.

Fiddlesticks. We're getting used to giving Premier League teams a game. Unfortunately we're also getting used to being the plucky losers. Joey, Neil, Imogen and Dom relive another memorable performance against another team full of rich footballers. Contains acceptable levels of optimism, because apparently that's all you want nowadays.

Relax... Yeah we lost to Norwich, and yeah some things haven't gone perfectly so far this season. But let's not go absolutely mad.  Joey, Neil, Imogen and Dom attempt to bring some sanity following the indignity of losing a game of football.

3 games into the season. One bad, one better, and one brilliant. We're probably due a chat. Joey, Neil, Dom and Imogen discuss Haji Wright, why watching something in person and TV are not the same, and some breaking transfer news involving a photo of a chair. Enjoy!

13 seasons. 13 whole seasons of the Nii Lamptey Show, and no matter how much the world tells us to stay away, we keep on coming back! The 2024/25 season is upon us and things are very different in the world of Coventry City, but not in the house of Lamptey. Joey, Neil, Imogen and Dom deliver the same standard of insight and nonsense as always. Let's preview this thing!

It's a little late, but the Niis return for the final episode of a crazy 2023/24 season. This is the one where we start with good intentions to review the season as a whole, but in reality just end up talking at length about all the best bits. Spoiler alert: We mention some players more than others. This is in no way reflective of their relative importance.

Christ. That happened. The greatest football match in history and we were there. Ultimately they pinched it from us, but let's pretend they didn't. Because that winner was a good football goal. Come join the Niis as we chat about another epic Wembley adventure.

It's here you guys. FA Cup fever has well and truly landed at Lamptey towers. We discuss what shirt to wear, Mark Robins masks and avoiding tube carriages with opposition fans. Joey, Neil and Imogen once again bring joy and Cov related happiness into your life. Warning: There's a couple of mentions of willies.

We went mad and beat Wolves in the best way possible, so the Niis felt it only right to continue the madness and record a podcast that focuses almost exclusively on that brilliant FA Cup win. Joey, Neil, Dom and Imogen (with a special appearance from Laurie) bring the joy.

Saturday was an experience like no other. It's difficult to describe how it felt to endure everything the Play-Off Final had to throw at us, and for it to all come down to one kick, but the Niis have convened for the final podcast/group therapy session of the season and will attempt to explain their emotions having gone through all that. Thanks to ALL the players and the staff for an amazing effort over the last ten months.  Play Up Sky Blues. Correction from Neil: In this episode I laugh because people seem to be reading too much into Jonathan Panzo's latest IG post. I retract this. You should all be laughing at me as it seems that something might actually be going on there.

Coventry City have made the Championship playoff final! This journey just keeps getting better and better.  It's a bumper pre-Wembley podcast this week as Joey, Paul, Neil, Imogen and Dom marvel over the effort needed to get there.. while engaging in some cathartic group therapy thanks to that second half at the Riverside.

Coventry City have made the playoffs. This is not a drill. This is real world and we have no idea how to navigate it. Incredible stuff. Joey, Neil, Imogen and Dom acknowledge what lovely thing has just happened, and to a lesser extent, how.

March was full of unbeatenness... then the international break came along and made Stoke loads better than us. What a mildly confusing turn of events. With a month to go and a mighty big Easter weekend looming, Joey, Neil and Imogen offer a loose assessment (and specific percentage prediction) of what the final games might bring us.

Recorded ahead of the Huddersfield game, your favourite podcast people chat about what was a terrific set of results throughout February, particularly a sweet victory over Sunderland. That's always funny. Fair warning, entering this podcast we'd just lost all our attacking midfielders so there's a little waffle on that, and unfortunately zero mention of Ryan Howley AKA The Option. There's also a brand new game and format. What a treat. Joey, Neil and Dom are your Lampteys for this one. Enjoy.

It's a new year and after some false starts, the Lampteys are determined to bring regularity back to their podcasting adventures rather than the recent three-a-year average. The Douglas era is upon us, which is new and mildly inexplicable, while the January transfer window gave us no indication of what the future holds. Joey, Neil, Paul and Imogen discuss the previous month and where it leaves us in the short, medium and extra-medium term.

Full-blown takeover alert! Sometimes when you're preparing to do a podcast your football club gets taken over 15 minutes beforehand so you have to talk about that even though you are not qualified or do not have the information to talk about it in any sort of detail, but you do so and then put it on the internet for judgement and posterity. We also chat about how great we are at football right now. All the good chats, as per!

We can't really get going, can we? It's a mildly gloomy podcast this time around as the Niis head into yet another break of fixtures, safe in the knowledge that Coventry City still haven't won a game this season. In the words of Mark - it's embarrassing.

August was broadly rubbish. The Niis are aware of this. However, we now have some flat grass to play on and the transfer window has finally SLAMMED SHUT... and we didn't lose any of the fancy players we thought we might. Although we did lose lovely Dominic Hyam, who actually was one of the fancy players (even if he and many other people didn't realise it). That is ever such a shame. Stupid energy bills. So, after a few games and an equal amount of losses, things aren't quite perfect. Let's break things down for you.

Here we are now, all the people. Season 11 of The Nii Lamptey Show is upon us. Bet you thought you'd never hear from us again? Well, you are incorrect. We are back for another season of very excellent Coventry City Football Club action and look forward to having you along for the ride. Getting us going for 22/23, Joey, Paul, Neil and Dom focus their attentions on the crucial things: how things are shaping up for the squad with the new campaign just days away, and who has the most supporter points.

Balls to this! One week ago we were about to embark upon a flurry of potential play-off excitement... a week later it all feels pretty impossible again. Not to worry. Joey, Neil and Dom are here to get you through, with all the great chats about two very different Easter games against Birmingham and Bournemouth.

Wooooooo. Check us right now. Battering the best in the league again. Nobody really predicted it, but we're going to enjoy it. What a performance. Joey, Paul, Neil and Dom revel away in this latest episode of The Nii Lamptey Show, the greatest Lamptey Show of all time.

A lot of games have happened. A lot of games that we should/could have won. The chaps are playing very well, and are once again the "best team" everyone seems to have faced. Joey, Neil, Imogen and Dom dissect the Middlesbrough, Southampton and Blackpool matches and try to figure out why we're not battering everyone a million nil at the moment.

It wasn't too hot watching us fail to beat QPR, so it was very welcome to see us fail to not win against Stoke. The points are starting to tally up again. Joey, Dom and Imogen discuss.

Happy New Year, kids and adults, etc. Did you see us the other day, duffing somebody up? Been a while, but that was excellent to see. Specifically because we'd largely forgotten what 3 points (or playing league football) felt like. Joey, Neil and Dom discuss this feeling alongside some rather eyebrow-raising decisions by Mark, which ultimately worked out wonderfully. All the best.

So, he meant it... Really? Yes. We're still talking about Toddy's goal. We also talk about all those draws, but mainly, we talk about about how to re-establish ourselves in the play-offs, which is a nice little indicator of where we've come. Also featuring Adi Viveash's bodyslam. Listen. Twitter: @niilampteyshow Facebook: niilampteyshow Instagram: niilampteyshow Email: niilampteyshow@gmail.com Website: www.niilampteyshow.com

That's a joke. Paul's back baby! So pleasing. This week the Niis work their way through three similar feeling games. Some ups, some less ups. But we're still 4th and can go and watch football games again. That's all we need and absolutely enough to fill 80 minutes of podcast chat. Get those headphones on.

A fresh looking Lamptey line up this week with Joey being joined by Imogen and Neil "the new Neil" Beasley. The kids have been out there watching Cov and have some thoughts on a couple of defeats for you. You may also know Neil from his smashing authoring of the book: "Football's Coming Out: Life as a Gay Fan". He's kind enough to give us a little insight into the experiences that led to him writing the book, and life since. Make sure you grab yourself a copy.

We're celebrating our 250th episode in authentic Lamptey fashion... by not mentioning it at all for the entire show! And who needs to, eh? When the football and a return to real-life stadiums offers such wonderful results and atmosphere. Joey, Neil and Dom are your chaps talking you through a very successful Coventry return as City came back to beat Forest in the 1034th minute*  *Social media estimate.  Twitter: @niilampteyshow Facebook: niilampteyshow Instagram: niilampteyshow Email: niilampteyshow@gmail.com Website: www.niilampteyshow.com

How very lovely it is to be back with a brand new episode of The Nii Lamptey Show for you fine humans. In this one, Joey, Neil and Dom delve into what's been happening on the pitch just lately.
