An Emirates Reality Check

Welcome to this week’s episode! Dean is back for his first appearance in a few weeks, joining Ross Cooper to look back at a controversial Friday night defeat at Everton. The Sky Blues were unlucky to come away with nothing, after Yann Gboho’s first goal for the club gave them an early second-half lead, only for Thierno Barry’s two goals to turn it around in a 3-1 loss. They go through the key moments, including those three VAR calls that all went against City and the continued chat around Carl Rushworth’s start to the season.This podcast is sponsored by the Sky Blue Tavern.

Welcome to this week’s episode! Dean and Ross Cooper look back at a memorable Monday night at the CBS Arena, as Coventry beat Newcastle 4-1 for their first home win of the season, and the club’s first Premier League home win in 25 years.

We also get into the potential unrest in the squad, and have our say on the reaction from Newcastle fans and journalists after the game, which was pretty disrespectful towards the Sky Blues.
