Worst Midlands football team

[COYBL25]

I used to work with quite a few folk from Rugby. They all harboured ambitions of moving to Kenilworth or Leamington. But never Coventry.

Make of that what you will.

Leamington is the dullest place I’ve ever had the misfortune of trying to have a night out in.

The hotel bar was more lively.

Never get when people come out and say stuff like "he was a great dad" and a "loving person". Obviously wasn't.

'He was an absolute bellend' doesn't sit well in an obituary.

It's not really that sort of town. It's where all the very posh Warwick University students live (once they've realised their choice of University is actually in Coventry ) as well as the local poshoes. So it's all red trousers and blazers, sloan rangers, aspiring Tories and tourists gawping at the buildings / pump rooms.

Before Jimbo starts, Coventry is pretty poor for a night out too. Jump on the train to Bham (from either) is the better bet. You might even encounter the likes of that lad who got locked in the Birmingham City bogs

There should be more instances of people's headstones bearing the legend 'They were a tragic twunt'

Honesty would be a nice change.
Here lies Henry Brown, father, brother and a weapons grade Arsehole

It doesn‘t actually have a proper pub, just crap bars.

A gang of us stayed for a race weekend at the nearby Strafford race course and me and my mate didn’t even bother leaving the hotel on the second night.

Lol.

One of my runs takes me around Allerton cemetery and there’s some of the tackiest gravestones you’ll ever see in there.

It would appear that some peoples aim in life, was to have the biggest, most tacky gravestone on the planet, resplendent with photos of the occupier doing wheelies on a stolen motocross bike, smoking a massive spliff, and adorned with verses from Biggie and Tupac and engravings of cannabis leaves lol

Warwick is a better bet, there's a few decent pubs there. Still got the posho element but better than Leamington imho.

They could say "he was a real character". That's usually code for a bad tit.

I think you could just write Tories over certain parts of the map.

Mainly corrupt Labour councils , mostly related and plenty of brown envelopes

I’d like message on my grave to be ‘he was alright. Nowt to write home about mind’

'He was partial to a swan pasty, could handle a harpoon and enjoyed defecting down chimneys"

I love the pottery from Stoke, the intricate lace work of Northampton and the grand Villas of Aston. I admire the forests of Nottinghamshire and the baltis of west Brom and who could disagree with crisps of Leicester.

I also admire whatever Wolverhampton's famous for.

Up the Midlands!

As an ex-pat Northamptonian now living in the South West, I feel the need to point out that Northampton is famous for shoes, not lace.
Nottingham is lace.
