The Lamptey Boyz are joined by club statistician and historian Jim Brown to talk about his latest book, 'Play Up Sky Blues - Coventry's Rise to the Top' which charts the club's title winning 1966/67 season | |||
| 25 Nov 2019 | Episode 225 - A Netflick Original podcast | 01:17:15 | |
A real good podcast this week. Goal of the season, miss of the season, last minute goals (for and against). Dream content. Joey, Paul, Neil and Dom are your panel. Twitter: @niilampteyshow | |||
| 24 Sep 2021 | Episode 253 - The Good Den | 01:06:43 | |
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 | |||
| 02 Oct 2019 | Episode 223 - Amadoing a Bakayoko | 00:57:57 | |
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 the enjoyable Doncaster game and have a think about how things are looking for us after ten games. | |||
| 09 May 2016 | Episode 123 - KC and the Sunshine Band | 01:31:09 | |
The Niis are joined for the final time by the outgoing head of Comms at Cov, Kieran Crowley. Paul talks about the Oldham game and and a positive end to an overall frustrating season. The Niis and Kieran then talk about the retained list and reminisce over times gone by and a particular goal of the month competition | |||
| 02 Sep 2022 | Episode 264 - Dom Bye-am | 01:03:44 | |
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. Twitter: @niilampteyshow | |||
| 29 Sep 2016 | Episode 130 - Mow Bitter Blues | 01:09:00 | |
It's sad how regular this has become. Just over 18 months passes, another manager leaves. After a disastrous start to the season Mowbray walks and in Neil's absence the remaining Niis are joined by Laurie '@thelonelyseason' Kilpatrick to dissect the games against Gillingham and MK Dons, err, I mean Wimbledon. (shit) | |||
| 27 Mar 2019 | Episode 212 - Short pod (long pod) | 01:12:30 | |
This is a really good one. The Niis tackle some really important issues. And the new series of Partridge. | |||
| 07 Mar 2014 | Episode 62 - Volleying Joe Murphy's Face Off | 01:09:43 | |
This week: The Niis spend time recognising a swift resurgence in confidence and results by the team, whilst also enjoying Joe Murphy's arms, legs, face and gob. Contains some confusion over a spider baby. | |||
| 24 Apr 2014 | Episode 66 - It's a shame for us | 01:07:37 | |
This week: It's the final stretch and the Niis summon their powers of keenness to bring you another episode of Coventry City chatter. Includes some thoughts as to just how much of a git Leon Clarke's going to be this weekend. | |||
| 16 Dec 2014 | Episode 83 - Kick Mark Marshall up the arse | 01:15:40 | |
This week: Another solid away victory. The Niis are back. Nice. Contains some words on immediately obsolete player names on shirts, and immediately empty club shops. | |||
| 23 Sep 2013 | Episode 44 - The Urquhart Conspiracy | 00:45:22 | |
This week: The Niis are re-adjusting to life as supporters of a team that can lose. Turns out it's not that difficult. The team is still good, and the guys make sure to acknowledge that point following the weekend's defeat to Pork Vale. Contains Franck the Tank love. | |||
| 11 May 2021 | Episode 248 - End of season Lamptey | 01:43:55 | |
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. Twitter: @niilampteyshow | |||
| 29 Jan 2015 | Episode 87 - Jordan Belfort for Mayor | 01:30:16 | |
This week: Professional game goer CJ Joiner gets involved and has the uneviable task of finding positivity from the Yeovil game. Contains four people - ergo more words, and more Only Covect. | |||
| 26 Feb 2018 | Episode 176 - Thou shalt not besmirch Mark Robins | 01:09:27 | |
The Niis salute a mighty fine point in the face of adversity, an absolutely mental tackle by Michael Doyle, and the wondrous stride of Tom Bayliss. PS. All is forgiven Michael, you absolute lunatic. | |||
| 27 Oct 2020 | Episode 242 - The Kastanaissance | 01:29:29 | |
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 | |||
| 19 Apr 2024 | Episode 275 - The super FA Cup semi-final vs Man Utd chat show | 01:15:42 | |
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 | |||
| 09 Aug 2024 | Episode 278 - Back once again for the low-grade podcasters | 01:15:15 | |
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! Twitter: @niilampteyshow | |||
| 05 Dec 2013 | Episode 52 - Careless Whispers | 00:50:49 | |
This week: Fresh from a reinvigorating victory over MK Dons, the Niis reconvene to celebrate this return to winning ways. Contains tongue-in-cheek tellings off and off-stage whispering. Take some of it seriously. Not all of it. Why would you? | |||
| 07 Feb 2013 | Episode 24: The Ricoh horror show | 01:00:19 | |
This week: It's the day after the night before, and the Niis aren't feeling too good. Can they find a way of rationalising what happened? Is the JPT dream completely over? Will Ed ruin Going for Gould again? There's only one way to find out - by treating yourself to another little slice of Lamptey goodness. It'll make you feel better, honest. Contains straw clutching. | |||
| 29 Nov 2013 | Episode 51 - Spitfire Maguire | 00:56:40 | |
This week: The goal difference has been obliterated and it's time for the Niis to investigate. Were we really that bad this week? Is it always Jordan Clarke's fault by default? Is Baker living up to his billing? Will the new guys stroll right into the team and fix it? Contains old-fashioned haircut discussion. And a reference to everyone's favourite ginger idiot. | |||
| 23 Nov 2016 | Episode 134 - Bol/Ox | 01:13:54 | |
*sound of a whoopee cushion being slowly deflated* | |||
| 22 Feb 2013 | Episode 26 - Zeman4Cov | 00:59:15 | |
This week: Joey's a poorly pup and the Wembley dream is over (for now), but there ain't no stopping these Niis. The show must go on. Let the JPT dissection commence. Contains completely made up rumours about Czech managers. and some Dan. | |||
| 14 Feb 2018 | Episode 174 - That Train's Never Late | 01:02:37 | |
Like a glove you've had for ages that smells awful A duvet that the corpse was found draped inside The comfort food that ruins your intestines Coventry lose three games on the bounce again | |||
| 16 Oct 2013 | Episode 46 - T-Shirt Wars | 00:50:38 | |
This week: The Niis are feeling refreshed following a short break to bask in the success of the previous episode. In an unprecedented twist, each member of the panel was actually able to watch the Sheffield Utd game (in some fashion), so the focus takes a welcome detour back to the world of football. Turns out, that can be quite fun. Contains an unexplained disappearing act. | |||
| 09 Apr 2018 | Episode 181 - Notts very good | 01:10:37 | |
The Niis ponder consecutive defeats and whether Robins fiddling and guessing is a good idea at such a crucial stage of the season. Spoiler: It's not. | |||
| 21 Aug 2017 | Episode 154 - Must... Resist... Urge... To be... Negative | 01:06:57 | |
Normal service is resumed as the Nii's get their teeth into the first league defeat of the season and an incredibly frustrating 90 minutes They try not to judge players too quickly (but do) try not to bang on about the Duck too much (but do) and try not to want to Carl Baker back (but do) but despite these failures the pod (as usual) is a massive bloody success Plugs: skybluesblog.co.uk niilampteyshow.co.uk sidewayssammy.wordpress.com thelonelyseason.club
| |||
| 18 Feb 2020 | Episode 233 - Wonder goal adjudication panel: Denied | 01:01:46 | |
You know the drill by now. We won and we're ruddy well going to talk about it. Twitter: @niilampteyshow | |||
| 08 Feb 2017 | Episode 140 - Real life, actual, no jokes... WEMBLEY!!! | 00:53:43 | |
This is what football is all about It's not about awful owners or stadium woes. It's about matches and the prospect of playing at Wembley and winning a trophy. The Niis couldn't be happier (which is still a pretty low level of relative happiness - they are miserable curmudgeons bear in mind.) They briefly cover the Millwall game then go on to talk about Wycombe and officially declare the Oldham game and Yakubu 'big'. If you fancy being bloody lovely then could you pop over to iTunes and give us a decent review please? I think it helps us reach more people - thanks | |||
| 22 Apr 2022 | Episode 262 - Bournemingham | 01:00:22 | |
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 | |||
| 10 Mar 2016 | Episode 117 - Kind of (sky) Blue | 01:07:41 | |
Last week's extended audio suicide note was so enjoyable that we thought we'd do it again. Neil is back in hizouse talking Rochdale but he can't lift the gloom as he bemoans the inexorable decline of the last few months. With Laurie presumably having thrown himself off a cliff, under a bus and into a bath tub (while holding a plugged in toaster) we drafted in friend of the pod and the only non original Nii to have appeared in all four seasons of the pod (probably) CJ Joiner to talk about the Shrewsbury game. Off the field James Maddison's tweet is given the short amount of air time such a non entity of a story deserves and the Niis talk about the reasons for our current malaise, what (if anything can be done) and fan reactions. None of it makes for happy listening Finally there's one more week to enter the Art of Football t shirt competition. To enter, send an email to niilampteyshow@gmail.com detailing your saddest tale of Coventry supporting woe. The best will be read out next week and the bestest will win the T Shirt. Don't forget to head to Art of Football to check out the awesome Houchen design available as a t shirt or a print. They're proper bo | |||
| 19 Oct 2017 | Episode 161 - Forcing the 'Forcing the Issue' Issue | 00:56:39 | |
Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows | |||
| 21 Aug 2014 | Episode 71 - EMERGENCY PLANNED PODCAST - We're back! | 01:43:20 | |
This week: You know exactly what. We're home! The excitement is definitely too much for the Niis as they attempt to cram a weekly podcast and all the hoopla about the Ricoh return into a single episode. This is bumper. So maybe break it up with a cup of tea, trip to the loo, or a jigsaw puzzle. Contains DELIGHT. | |||
| 26 Aug 2012 | Emergency podcast - The sacking of Thorn | 00:38:15 | |
It's just about Thorn getting sacked. | |||
| 22 Mar 2024 | Episode 274 - Back by the mildest demand | 01:41:56 | |
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 | |||
| 13 Sep 2017 | Episode 157 - Lampteython 2017 | 00:58:57 | |
The Bloody Lads bring you some sunshine in the form of their analysis of the last two games | |||
| 19 Nov 2018 | Episode 201 - A league defeat, you say | 00:57:16 | |
This week the Niis ruminate about losing a league game for the first time in weeks. Burton were better which made it slightly easier to assess. Features some Laurie, on account of Laurie being on this week. | |||
| 07 Mar 2017 | Episode 144 - Fossil Slayed (The Semi-Emergency Podcast) | 00:42:47 | |
We should have been recording a podcast anyway but we weren't going to after an unusually consistent run of them (well, in terms of frequency of output at least) but then a curious Sunday forced our hand. We share our feelings on Robins coming back (mixed) and Slade leaving (unequivocally positive)
| |||
| 30 Jul 2019 | Episode 217 - The Trillion Trophy Podcast | 01:04:54 | |
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 funky wingers. Let's do this. | |||
| 15 Aug 2018 | Episode 191 - Footballing Aesthetes and Anabolic Juggernauts | 01:06:23 | |
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. | |||
| 13 Sep 2012 | Episode 5 - Four men and a baby | 00:57:16 | |
This week: It's a full quota of Lamptey boys to discuss the impending managerial appointment, David McGoldrick's World Player of the Year odds and Adam Barton's inherent softness. Contains the hardest ever Going for Gould. | |||
| 20 Feb 2018 | Episode 175 - Not Maniacs | 01:18:36 | |
The Niis spend time figuring out what went on against Brighton, and even more time figuring out what's going to happen for the rest of this season. Please note: You are NOT maniacs. | |||
| 02 May 2016 | Episode 122 - Mouth/Trousers Ratio | 01:39:17 | |
God bless you all, you hardy souls. That you're stilllistening given our relentless misery over the last few months isnothing short of heroic. We soldier on this week after another (sorry) short gap andbriefly cover our recent home successes and Doncaster trauma. We then move on to the first part of the season dissection. It's quite long | |||
| 24 Sep 2015 | Episode 105 - Glory | 00:57:21 | |
Another week, another win. Being awful is so 1988 to May 2015... In between speculating about the pronunciation of Tom Soares' surname and Paul's chances of taking over from Brendan Rogers we take the time to celebrate a decent performance and bemoan some questionable decision making in our victory over Chesterfield. As usual time is spent fawning over Romain Vincelot and (despite his injury, nothing can stop us) James Maddison whilst Marc Antoine Fortune inspires what no-one is calling a 'Classic Knowlian Rant' Warning: Contains more begging for votes. Speaking of which, please head to www.footballbloggingawards.co.uk to vote for us as best football Podcast at the 2015 FBas and for Neil's www.skybluesblog.co.uk as best club blog in the very same awards. If you're a twitterer then head to @niilampteyshow and @skybluesblog for details of how to vote on there too. (we've made it really easy for you) Thanks to those of you who have voted already, it really means a lot to us | |||
| 06 Jan 2015 | Episode 84 - Over The Moon (River) | 00:56:44 | |
Happy New Year! Sorry we've not been around much lately but any fondness your heart may have accrued will dissipate pretty quickly upon listening. Paul loosely describes a website he doesn't know the name of, Joey makes AWFUL puns about a singer he doesn't know in lieu of any real analysis and special guest Liam Sutcliffe (@LiamDSutty) attempts to make some sense of a surprise win at Walsall Contains 100% less Neil than normal | |||
| 23 Aug 2012 | Episode 2 - Welcome to League One | 00:59:35 | |
This week: Following an unbeaten (yet frustrating) start to the campaign, the Nii Lamptey crew are back to run the rule over the three opening games of the season. (Contains copious amounts of Kevin Malaga.) | |||
| 16 Aug 2012 | Episode 1 - The Nii Lamptey Show (pilot) | 01:14:47 | |
This week: The boys discuss the Championship relegation, hopes for the new season, and desperately struggle to answer the question - just who is the club's figurehead? | |||
| 29 Nov 2012 | Episode 15 - The Bean Identity | 00:57:59 | |
This week: Things return to regularity as the four Niis discuss the frustration of not beating Portsmouth, the importance of the upcoming cup games, and scary Ernie Wise. Contains an all-too-detailed description of that back-pass. | |||
| 03 Jan 2013 | Episode 19 - ...and a Happy Nii Year! | 00:55:58 | |
This week: The Niis are all Quality Streeted out and return to ponder the work of the team over Christmas. They also try tremendously hard to get excited about the forthcoming trip to Spurs. Contains nuts. | |||
| 21 Feb 2019 | Episode 208 - Sky Blue Sam/Knowl | 01:05:57 | |
This week the Niis deliver superb analysis of Amadou Bakayoko sticking it up the Walsall fans.
| |||
| 05 Jan 2021 | Episode 246 - Should have been a million nil | 00:36:08 | |
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. Twitter: @niilampteyshow | |||
| 16 Oct 2014 | Episode 78 - Nomination | 01:12:07 | |
This week: The Niis are joyous because they've been nominated for an award, but cross because Coventry City are still shit. Contains the first mention of Adam Barton since 'Nam.
| |||
| 14 Apr 2016 | Episode 121 - Wind bags | 01:11:09 | |
The Nii's didn't do a pod last week and it was through a sense of nominal obligation that they do one this week. Paul tries to help Joey remember what happened in the Wigan game and Neil tells us about his gastroenterological anomaly They're actually still talking now and Joey has hit record without them knowing it. Let's see how this goes... | |||
| 10 May 2023 | Episode 270 - Making the playoffs is not for the faint hearted | 01:10:40 | |
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 | |||
| 24 Oct 2012 | Episode 10 - You won't like Nii when he's angry | 01:00:13 | |
This week: The Lamptey boys are upset. Things aren't going quite to plan with the Robins revolution, and while David McGoldrick continues to keep Ed aroused, the Sky Blues have fallen back into their losing ways and are playing atrociously. Contains crossness. | |||
| 14 Feb 2013 | Emergency podcast - The departure of Robins | 00:40:42 | |
It's pretty much about Mark Robins buggering off and what the Niis think about it. Contains dramatic music. | |||
| 30 Apr 2018 | Episode 184 - Ain't Nobody | 01:00:20 | |
A thumping 6-1 has put City on the brink of those lovely play-offs. Dom joins the Niis for the full whack this week to talk us through the goals, lax stewarding and inflatables from the weekend's all round enjoyable romp against Cheltenham. The Niis also mentally prepare for the BIG FIXTURE this weekend, and ponder just how "nil-nil" it might potentially be. | |||
| 03 Apr 2018 | Episode 180 - WTF | 01:29:03 | |
The Niis are joined by Laurie to balance their time equally across the Easter fixtures, but naturally focus the majority of their attention on that bad thing that happened on Monday. | |||
| 18 Apr 2017 | Episode 149 - Our Lowest Ebb | 00:58:08 | |
Relegation is confirmed as Coventry bow out of League One with a whimper. The boys talk Charlton and ticket prices and look down to another miserable season, this time in a League we've not seen in over 60 years. What a farce | |||
| 09 May 2019 | Episode 216 - A review of a very regular season | 01:12:38 | |
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 place finish and talk through the highs, lows, and controversy from a reasonably OK, if often uneventful, League One campaign. Thank you for all your listens and questions and general engagement this year. It's much appreciated. If you like what we do, as a special gift please bung us a rating or review before you head off to Benidorm. We look forward to seeing you all again next season. One love. | |||
| 24 Oct 2017 | Episode 162 - Interviewed By Mist | 00:56:32 | |
| 30 Jan 2020 | Episode 231 - Windy Nil-Niller | 00:59:23 | |
It's been a busy few days for City with the big old match against Birmingham in the FA Cup followed swiftly by a cold and blowy midweeker against Fleetwood. There were no goals, but the Niis'll talk you through the best bits. Twitter: @niilampteyshow | |||
| 10 Aug 2016 | Episode 124 - CUP DRAW LIVE!!! | 01:07:49 | |
Hold onto your hats boys and girls, it's the first Nii Lamptey Show of the 2016/17 season!!! Have we got a show for you as we sum up Swindon with Laurie 'The Lonely Season' Kilpatrick, pick apart Portsmouth with Neil 'Nutmeg' Allison and broadcast the EFL cup draw LIVE!!! The Niis treat you to top quality content as they predict the draw outcomes for a number of teams ahead of the big prediction of who Cov will get. The grand finale is the big reveal itself and the only way you can find out who we're playing on 23rd August is to listen in!

| 16 Apr 2018 | Episode 182 - Blame it on the bobble | 01:11:39 | |
The Niis are joined by Laurie to discuss how Cov managed to beat Crawley. Robins genius, or a total accident? You decide. Either way, the play-offs are looking dangerously close now. Lamptey be cautious. | |||
| 04 Oct 2024 | Episode 282 - Return of the Participators | 01:06:04 | |
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. Twitter: @niilampteyshow | |||
| 09 Aug 2017 | Episode 152 - How Many Ducks would a Nazon Duck if a Nazon could Duck Wood? | 01:00:27 | |
Welcome to the Nii Lamptey Show, the only weekly podcast exclusively dedicated to the Haitian Sensation - Duckens Nazon. Amongst all of the Nazon Gazing, Neil takes the time to talk about our comprehensive victory over Notts County and Paul leads the way on a mixed performance against a superior Blackburn side. Finally Joey dialled up Dominic who walks us through what we should expect against Grimsby (the clue's in the name) It's like we've never been away... | |||
| 04 Sep 2024 | Episode 280 - The Head Loss Rehabilitation Programme | 01:12:36 | |
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 | |||
| 10 Oct 2017 | Episode 160 - The Triumphant Return of Only Covvect! | 00:56:43 | |
The match was boring. So the Niis bring back some quiztastic entertainment. | |||
| 11 Sep 2019 | Episode 222 - The O'Hare Flair Bunch | 00:31:51 | |
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. | |||
| 30 Sep 2013 | Episode 45 - The Joy Division | 01:32:57 | |
This week: It's the one you've been waiting for - Joey's only gone and met with Joy Seppala and Tim Fisher. Here he gives a full and frank round up of those meetings, as well as providing some crucial insight into the personalities behind the decisions. Let's not beat around the bush - there's a lot to discuss, so prepare yourself for a sitting or two as the Nii Lamptey Show continues its attempts to navigate such a frustratingly complex and emotive issue. Don't worry, contains post-Brentford waffle, Going for Gould and all the other fun stuff too. | |||
| 13 Feb 2017 | Episode 141 - "this question is virtually unanswerable; so I'll ask it" | 00:54:32 | |
You're listening to the Nii Lamptey Show! All you need to Know about Us is that we Bloody love U (see if you can spot the secret hidden message) | |||
| 11 Aug 2014 | Episode 70 - The Gary Sparrow Cup Final | 01:05:58 | |
This week: There's been a game, a new formation and another stunning edition of Only Covect. Go on, treat yourselves. Contains no mid-pod pen acquisition. | |||
| 28 Mar 2018 | Episode 179 - A run of the mill 4-0 victory | 00:50:46 | |
#standard Neil is off the grid this week so Dom steps up to provide some positivity to balance Paul's comfortingly curmudgeonly take on a joyful 4-0 win against a desperate Gary McSheffrey toting Grimsby side. That's a very long sentence but I don't have the energy to cut it down | |||
| 01 Oct 2015 | Episode 106 - Burry | 00:51:32 | |
Two of the three Niis (of orient are...) made the short journey home from Bury and are now talking about it in your ears. There's a mixture of frustration and analysis as usual as they rue a game where the team failed to learn from the mistakes of their most recent victory. In other news there's a gettable Only Covvect question for once and Neil explains what he thinks is excellent about Shrewsbury's manager.

| 17 Oct 2012 | Episode 9 - The Paolo denunciation | 01:12:18 | |
This week: It's the triumphant return of Little Eddie W, and the Niis have ever such a lot to catch up on. Richard Shaw's been given the boot, Chris Hussey's actually scored a goal, and Joey's been told off on local radio. Contains the numbers 7, 8 and 9. | |||
| 12 May 2020 | A special Nii Lamptey Show interview with Chris Kirkland | 01:46:24 | |
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: @niilampteyshow | |||
| 18 Jan 2022 | Episode 258 - Beating Peterborough | 00:52:50 | |
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. Twitter: @niilampteyshow | |||
| 31 Jan 2018 | Episode 172 - Dom and Neil's Excellent Adventure | 01:07:18 | |
Mainly carvery and Keanu Reeves chat this week. | |||
| 03 Nov 2016 | Episode 132 - Footballing Neanderthals | 00:43:28 | |
Blurb | |||
| 22 Jan 2013 | Episode 22 - Fleck's education | 01:01:25 | |
This week: There are two wins for the podders to swoon over, as well as a timely re-assessment of our centre back pairing, and the function of John Fleck in the squad. Contains confectionery snobbery. | |||
| 08 Aug 2013 | Episode 38 - Sides of the fence | 01:04:09 | |
This week: The Lamptey team for 2013/14 are back. Joey, Neil and Paul look over the opening week's football, Carl Baker's fan control, and once again discuss the burning issue of Northampton. Contains balance and fairness. It really does. | |||
| 24 Apr 2019 | Episode 215 - Play-offs off and on | 01:03:06 | |
This week the Niis discuss the Easter matches and Cov's dwindling play-off challenge (that Neil still thinks is a little bit on). | |||
| 07 Sep 2012 | Episode 4 - We love pelanty shootouts | 00:49:14 | |
This week: Knowler's otherwise engaged, but being the consummate pros they are, the three other Niis truck on regardless, desperately plucking out moments of note from the abominable Burton game. Contains colourful language and impromptu jingles. | |||
| 02 Apr 2019 | Episode 213 - The good bad good draw | 00:59:55 | |
This is a Coventry City podcast that discusses drawing against Barnsley.
Feel free to enjoy it. | |||
| 13 Feb 2020 | Episode 232 - A damn good football side | 00:51:42 | |
The Niis are up for this. A great run of form continues, and for the first time in the Lamptey Boy's lifetime, a title is there to win. All aboard the brilliant bus. Twitter: @niilampteyshow | |||
| 19 Aug 2013 | Episode 40 - Pressley's little black book | 00:52:38 | |
This week: The Niis are delighted to have the resurgent Trampbeater on the show to share his feelings about a wonderfully rampant victory over Carlisle. For the purposes of the tape, we will be calling him Shaun. There's loads of talk about these brilliant kids of ours, a little bit about Andy Thorn's search for a job, and a short period of obligatory swooning over Mr Pressley. Contains a potentially ruinous use of statistics. | |||
| 21 Sep 2022 | Episode 265 - Birminghameredcard | 01:01:21 | |
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 | |||
| 08 May 2014 | Episode 68 - Lamptey Awards Bash | 01:33:25 | |
This week: The Lampteys close the season with an obligatory round up of everything that's gone on. Contains a final farewell to Franck Moussa. | |||
| 18 Aug 2015 | Episode 100 - Mille-wall | 01:08:10 | |
First off, I know 'mille' means 1000 rather than 100 but it would be such a good title if this was our one thousandth epsiode that I'm using it anyway. I can't believe we've done 1000 episodes. Where has the time gone? We didn't prepare anything special but fortunately the team did. We talk about a positive display against a strong Rochdale team and a mind-meltingly terrific performance against Millwall Warning: Contains occasional use of ye olde English | |||
| 10 Jun 2020 | Episode 236 - Champions | 01:33:49 | |
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 a celebratory pod. Wacky circumstances call for wacky responses, so the Niis have gone with a mad five-man line up to wrap up the campaign. Joey, Paul, Neil, Laurie and Dom all join the panel to give one big hip-hip hooray for the League One champs, and run through some awards for the season. Thanks for all your loveliness this year. We hope you enjoy this farewell to League One as much as we did! | |||
| 21 Jan 2020 | Episode 230 - Someone get him out of the pantry | 01:11:55 | |
This week the Niis are joined by Laurie from out of space, so apologies about some occasional sound issues. But he's still brilliant. That aside there's still lots to talk about from the away win at Donny, while Shippers' plane celebration and Runar Normann's apparently questionable demeanour also draw comment. There's also another Godden disagreement for no real reason except Neil's unnecessarily protective nature towards his reputation. You can skip past that because nobody is actually slagging him off. Twitter: @niilampteyshow | |||
| 09 Sep 2014 | Episode 73 - The Homecoming Experience | 01:00:31 | |
This week: It's been a huge week for City fans. We're home, and the Niis are delirious. Joey is off being married, but fear not - podcast regular Andy Powell not only joins the crew, but anchors the good ship Lamptey in marvellous fashion. Contains some very tricky Only Covect questions. Good luck. | |||
| 06 Oct 2015 | Episode 107 - Radio Controlled Car | 00:51:56 | |
First off... THANK YOU!!! Your kind voting has got us to the finals of the Football Blogging Awards in the 'best podcast' category (we narrowly missed out on 'massive-ist legends' and 'naughtiest banter' but we've demanded a re-count of the votes). You might think that's it but you'd be WRONG!!! We need your votes again people. You can click this link to vote via Twitter (it creates a tweet for you and takes roughly two seconds) OR you can head to www.footballbloggingawards.co.uk We're delighted to have made it to the final (especially as it's in Manchester and for two of us we can roll out of bed and into the venue), but also because it's nice to get recognised, innit? Anyway, enough of that, there's another home win to dissect and on the whole we were pretty pleased. We over-analyse the culture of over-analysing the specific locations of strikers, give our weekly show of love to big Réda, and big up Aaron Martin. Looking ahead we do a wee bit of Yeovil and Fleetwood preview that is somehow marginalised by extended discussion about Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool, and we open up Paul's brain in another addition of Paul's hit game 'listen to these stats I've researched this week'. WARNING: Contains talk of a certain manager taking over at Fleetwood who has since been confirmed as their manager. Although it was time for us to part SP, there's not a day goes by where I don't think about your cardigan/brown shoe combo xxx | |||
| 23 May 2024 | Episode 277 - The second best end of season review podcast | 01:40:49 | |
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. Twitter: @niilampteyshow | |||
| 23 Oct 2014 | Episode 79 - The Rabona of Podcasts | 01:13:22 | |
This week: Lamptey cross. Lamptey sad. Lamptey don't know how things got so bad. Contains another attempt to debunk football. It's not for debunking. | |||
| 11 Jun 2018 | Episode 188 - Lovely Wembley | 01:33:40 | |
Well, we did it! Hopefully you've not calmed down in the slightest. The Niis are here to celebrate promotion in style with a bumper final pod of the season. It's a biggy, so get it downloaded and settle down for the final and loveliest pod of the season, because being happy and winning the play-offs is lovely. | |||
| 29 Aug 2012 | Episode 3 - Tales of the rogue poznan | 00:56:51 | |
This week: Still high from Billy Edge's debut against Birmingham, the boys are left to bask in the glory of the League Cup without Knowler. Expect plenty of Carl Baker and even more inane word play. | |||
| 05 Sep 2016 | Episode 127 - Vote for Nii!!! | 01:23:00 | |

| 07 Feb 2018 | Episode 173 - Go to Bed! | 00:44:41 | |
