The Nii Lamptey Show

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.

Hello.
 This is the Nii Lamptey Show. It's an honour and a privilege to podcast about this week's 0-0 draw for you. We hope you enjoy.
  

The last minute is probably the best minute. It certainly seems that way. City remain unbeaten in the league thanks to Baka doing what he does best: unexpected goal.
 The Lamptey chaps work through th...

2-0 down against a decent side, and we fixed it. This is exciting.
 Joey, Knowl and Neil are reunited for this week's pod and discuss being unbeaten in mid-September and the pronunciation of Dabo.

Yes, that's right - as a special treat we are delighted to bring you a Nii Lamptey Show exclusive podcast, as young superstar Tom Bayliss joins the boys in the "studio" to reminisce about all the love...

Having played 19 games in a fortnight, it's been tricky to keep up. So the Niis bin off some of the less interesting games for this podcast and get stuck into that madness from the weekend and yet ano...

The unbeaten start continues for this new City side, and because this game was against full-blown adults, things are more positive this week.
 Joey, Neil and Dom work through the 2-0 victory against B...

This week there is no Neil so this description is telling you that it's going to be Paul and Joey and Laurie discussing how we were unable to beat a bunch of children.

The season got underway at an unfamiliar home location on Saturday, but despite the difficulties of that situation, City grabbed the win and everyone was basically happy about that.
 Dom was there and...

So, we support a football club that plays at St Andrews. It's weird, right?
 The Niis are back for an eighth season. Joey is joined by Neil and Dom as they chat daft groundshare, beautiful kits, and f...

So, we didn't make the play-offs. Obviously last season was more fun because of that, but on the plus side, we all get a slightly longer summer break this time around.
 The Niis run through an 8th pla...

This week the Niis discuss the Easter matches and Cov's dwindling play-off challenge (that Neil still thinks is a little bit on).

Ha'way man. 5-4. What a game it was. Let's get right into it.

This is a Coventry City podcast that discusses drawing against Barnsley.
  
 Feel free to enjoy it.

This is a really good one. The Niis tackle some really important issues. And the new series of Partridge.

City go back-to-back and bring the play-offs into the equation.
 The Niis don't mention promotion or the Championship. Not once.

Bumper pod this week as the guys chat Accrington, Burton, Bright, Burge and the fact that we missed a big opportunity to close the gap over the weekend, and yet still, got away with it. Kind of.
  

The Niis chitchat about a solid draw on the tele against top of the league. 

This week the Niis deliver superb analysis of Amadou Bakayoko sticking it up the Walsall fans.
  

It's opinions central at Lamptey Towers this week as the boys chat about the Rochdale victory in what can only be described as a Valentine's Day special podcast.
 PS. Laurie and Tom Davies sitting in ...

Cov drew and nobody ain't got no clue what's going on with them at the moment but it's all getting well tiresome.
 Joey, Paul and Neil flex their brain muscles trying to figure it out.

Hello pod fans. It's been a while.
 Since the last time we spoke, we've dominated more matches but that don't mean nothing when you ain't scoring the football goals.
 Lampteys give it some woopy aroun...

All of the very best Lamptey boys return for the opening show of 2019.
 The festive period brought three wins and that was mega. Let's chat.

Some big talk this week as the Niis attempt to explain why things looked so poor against Luton, as well as hazarding some guesses as to Mark Gordon Robins' ideal tactical approach.

There's no FA Cup game to speak of but the Niis instead find time to pick up what happened in the league over the last couple of weeks.

While the Niis are away, the Coventry will play (fairly averagely but still win all the time).
 Great to be on this winning run. Let's chat about it.

Here at the Lamptey show we love last minute winners. We love them even more when they're scored by sweet, smiley people like Amadou Bakayoko, in football games that we have no business winning.
 That...

Sunderland and Portsmouth reviewed with Paul and Ed and Charlton previewed with Dom.  Now there's lovely for you isn't it?

This week, Dom and Laurie join JC to talk about the sopping wet lunacy that occurred in Bristol at the weekend.

This week the Niis celebrate back-to-back league wins and the fact that Lee Burge saved some football shots.
 Also - Paul's Question makes its debut.

This week Cov won, Conor Chaplin scored, Shipley fouled loads, and JCH gave a strong performance in the not unfamiliar role of "Mega Bastard".
 Pleasing.

We haven't coughed up the money for him just yet, but Conor Chaplin has entered the building with a large wad of cash potentially associated with him.
 That is noteworthy and the Niis note it as such....

The last week has been bad, then good, then bad but OK, then Blackpool.
 The Niis work through a bumper week of football and come to some pretty MAJOR conclusions about what the fupp is going on.

The Sky Blues bored people against Wimbledon. The Niis try to liven that up, as per.
 Contains a moment of the week that is actually a thought process.

"OK, it's brilliant that we lost!"
 Clearly it's not, but it's only the first game so the Niis dig into the game fully aware that it's only the first game.
