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, w…

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. Twitter: @ni…

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. Twitter: @niilampteyshow Facebook: niilampteyshow Instagram: niilampteyshow Email: niilampteyshow@gmail.com W…

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! Twitter: @niilampteyshow Facebook: niilampteyshow Instagram: niilampteyshow Email: …

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'…

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 im…

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. Twitter: @niilampteyshow Facebook: niilampteyshow Instagram: niilampteyshow Email: niila…

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. Twitter: @niilampteyshow Facebook: nii…

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. Twitter: @niilampteyshow Facebook: niilampteyshow Instagram: niilampteyshow …

**Note, if you're only seeing a 17-second version of this episode, please check back later. The first upload went slightly awry but should be gradually updating itself across the various platforms** A new episode of the Nii Lamptey Show podcast, as I live and breathe. Joey, Neil and Dom bring you an assessment of the season thus far. Expect pronunc…

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 …

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. Twitter: @niilampteyshow F…

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. Twitter: @niilampteyshow Facebook: niilampteyshow Instagram: niilampteyshow Email: niilampteyshow@gmail.com W…

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. Twitter: @niila…

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 menti…

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 …

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…

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. Twitter: @niilampteyshow Facebook: niilampteyshow Instagram: niilampteyshow Email: niilampteysh…

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 real…

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 thei…

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. Twitter: @niilampteyshow Facebook: n…

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. Twitter: @niilampteyshow Facebook: niilampteyshow Instagram: niilampteyshow Emai…

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. Twit…

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 work…

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: …

Laurie's got a golden ticket. We also did some ruddy good winning with ten men. Enjoy your international break with a little bit of Lamptey. 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. Twitter: @niilampteyshow Facebook: niilampt…

Smashing Peterborough followed by The Big Blip followed by smashing Fulham. It was quite a week for Cov. Let's discuss. Twitter: @niilampteyshow Facebook: niilampteyshow Instagram: niilampteyshow Email: niilampteyshow@gmail.com Website: www.niilampteyshow.com

A draw against Millwall didn't feel too bad. The Niis explain why, and then go on to tackle some of the key issues of today. Twitter: @niilampteyshow Facebook: niilampteyshow Instagram: niilampteyshow Email: niilampteyshow@gmail.com Website: www.niilampteyshow.com

Boro came to the old Ricoh and we calmly dispatched of them. We're all feeling nice and relaxed about the team right now, given their tidy start. Joey, Neil and Dom explain why supporting Cov is the best (at this specific moment in time).

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 …

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 bea…

Season ten is upon us. How did that happen?? Welcome back to the Lamptey Zone. Joey, Paul and Dom bring you the very best thoughts and views on Coventry City as they head into the new season, back at the Ricoh Coventry Building Society Arena.

And just like that, the season was complete. Far calmer than any of us predicted, thankfully. The Niis convene to discuss our ultimately favourable return season to the Championship, featuring the views of Joey, Paul, Dom and Imogen.

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. Classic Cov podcasting. You know that McFadzean chap? He's mentioned. As is Josh Eccles. And Sam McCallum. Basically the whole crew. Twitter: @niilampteysho…

Happy New Year, Sky Blue babes. Let's get hot and heavy with the first podcast of 2021. Joey, Neil and Dom talk Millwall, and quite how we didn't smash them by loads of goals, given how rubbish they were.

Hello again. We're the Nii Lamptey Show. You may remember us from such podcasts as "The one where Paul moaned" and "Neil isn't entirely sure". After a mini break, we're back just in time to ruin your Christmas. Enjoy!

It's been an interesting week. We've put in some good performances and still lost two games. That's a shame. But there's plenty to talk about. Joey, Neil and Dom with the words.

Picked up from the decks after a rotten little period, the Niis enjoyed beating top of the league Reading and watching Gustavo Hamer raise all of the menace. Twitter: @niilampteyshow Facebook: niilampteyshow Instagram: niilampteyshow Email: niilampteyshow@gmail.com Website: www.niilampteyshow.com

Bit of a bumper chatfest this week as the Niis do their darnedest to understand what's happened in the last three games against Brentford, Swansea and Blackburn. This is how you do football podcasting. Twitter: @niilampteyshow Facebook: niilampteyshow Instagram: niilampteyshow Email: niilampteyshow@gmail.com Website: www.niilampteyshow.com…

It's the classic line up. Joey, Paul and Neil chow down on a couple of games against some B teams - Barnsley and Bournemouth. Twitter: @niilampteyshow Facebook: niilampteyshow Instagram: niilampteyshow Email: niilampteyshow@gmail.com Website: www.niilampteyshow.com

We got that precious first league win under our belts and it was tasty. Joey, Paul and Imogen have a chit and a chat about how at all came about. Twitter: @niilampteyshow Facebook: niilampteyshow Instagram: niilampteyshow Email: niilampteyshow@gmail.com Website: www.niilampteyshow.com

League football returns. It's great to be back playing in the almost big time, with the deafening roar of generic sound effects. Joey, Laurie and Imogen are on hand to talk about it all. Do your listening, pod fans. Twitter: @niilampteyshow Facebook: niilampteyshow Instagram: niilampteyshow Email: niilampteyshow@gmail.com Website: www.niilampteysho…

Some real-life actual "competitive" football for the Niis to consider, as the Sky Blues get the season underway with a low-key Carabao Cup victory over MK Dons. Join us for some chit-chat, won't you?

Well, well, well. A brand new Championship season is soon to be upon us, and Coventry City are involved, meaning your trusty Niis have returned from hibernation to give you their thoughts on the forthcoming weirdness. May be a tad robot-y in places as the podcast machine gets back up to speed. Twitter: @niilampteyshow Facebook: niilampteyshow Insta…

Well, after a lot of waiting and a lot of mulling things over, everyone decided what we already knew: Coventry City were the best team in League One this season and were going to win the league anyway... so they might as well just make us bloody champions. Good call. It wasn't how we'd have liked, but by gosh, we are going to mark the occasion with…

Hello team. After a little lockdown interval, we're back with another really special interview. This week the lovely Chris Kirkland has entered Lamptey's virtual house to share his story - from his first stand-in keeper appearance as a kid, to playing for Cov in the Prem, big money moves, and an England debut. We hope you enjoy. Twitter: @niilampte…

It's the one you've been waiting for. Bigi's in the house this week and we couldn't be happier to listen to him open up about his life, career at Cov and beyond, and hopes for the future. We had an amazing hour or so chatting, and we're delighted to share the unabridged conversation here. It was a pleasure to talk to him. We hope you enjoy it as mu…
