Episode 303 - Let's Start With A Goal
Ah flip. A battering by Brighton, followed by a limp league cup exit to (supposed) rivals Aston Villa. But are we actually as bad as losing all our games and not being able to score in the league for love-nor-money suggests? The Lampteys interrogate the current situation. It may be the end of the...
-
Episode 302 - I'll Crisis You In A Minute
Two league games in and people have already got stuff to say. Can't even trust our favourite national podcasts anymore because they're sticking their noses in. Curse this enhanced exposure. Nevertheless, the Lampteys give sane analysis a go, and try not to form fundamental conclusions about stuff...
-
Episode 301 - Go Get The Motor City Jacket
Not long now guys... it's PREMIER LEAGUE time. A couple of weeks ago some people were going through THE ROUGHEST TRANSFER WINDOW EVER because we'd only spent £80m. Fortunately we've now spent over £100m, so hopefully that's helped. The Niis are back for a 15th season to discuss this new influx of...
-
Episode 300 - The Party Animals
Hello you lovely winners! This is a bit of alright isn't it? Cov won everything they needed to win, we got to have an endless stream of celebrations, and now we've been able to spend the last month relaxed while everyone else gets their knickers in a twist about binoculars and stuff. We'll look...
-
Episode 299 - We're Back Baybayyy
That's right, we ruddy well did it. We're back! Not the podcast btw. We were never away. Don't know what you're talking about. But Cov! We're back in the big time. Promotion winners. Campeones! Premier Leaguers for the first time in 25 years (I'm led to believe). The Lampteys revel in this moment...
-
Episode 298 - The Confidence Club
Oh lovely. What a difference a month makes. On 31 January some of the Lampteys were a little bit frit shit. Turns out, February had other ideas. Lots of wins, lots of points, and lots of confidence in our collective pockets. We return to ruminate on this. Twitter: @niilampteyshow Facebook:...
-
Episode 297 - We're Top But Are A Little Bit Scared
Hey there sports fans. This lot are back. Cov are top. That much is wicked. But we're all friends here. We can talk about our fears right? And some of the Lampteys have those fears. Not all of them. But we should be free to mention them. Because that's what friends do. You may listen to us do so....
-
Episode 296 - Goal-Town Population: Cov, Bro!
Deary me, what a whirlwind of a fortnight. Not content with scoring a million away at Derby, we've only gone and scored a million against QPR, as well as buying a bloody stadium. Yes, we have since lost to Millwall, but the Carabao Cup was not made for us, so we shan't dwell on that. Settle back...
-
Episode 295 - New Season Lamptey, Baby
Season 14 of the Nii Lamptey Show... COME ON DOWN! Yes. Ain't no stopping us. Joey, Neil, Imogen and Dom have returned to ease you into the new Championship season and figure out whether the team that made the playoffs last season remains a good team, 3 months on. Time to relax and enjoy the chit...
-
Episode 294 - The mixed emotions end of season podcast
Hello good people. We recorded a podcast last week. It was a day or two after the rawness of the Sunderland defeat, and that is reflected in the variety of thoughts that you will hear in this episode. It's hard to know quite what emotion to feel when you miss out on the playoff final in that...
-
Bonus Episode: Playoff chat with the WTF Sunderland Podcast
Joey has done something different and has got together with Graham from the What The Fauk Sunderland Podcast to talk specifically about the big fixture: Coventry vs Sunderland. So if you want to hear a little bit more about the upcoming playoffs but in conversation with somebody who has a…

Episode 293 - The nominal playoff podcast discussion
We are Coventry City - Championship playoff contenders. Again. What were you worried about? Joey, Neil and Dom saw us beat Boro and make the playoffs. In this podcast episode they discuss very specific elements of that match, and maybe, if you're lucky, the upcoming game against Sunderland. GO...
-
Episode 292 - The Easter Monday Misfire
We have completed the Easter period and remain, somewhat inexplicably, in as strong a position as we started. 6th place, 3 points clear, with our destiny very much in our own hands. This merry bunch of sods will talk you through things, and also the general contempt towards the quality of the...
-
Episode 291 - Gotta Let it Burnley
They told us these three games would be three big games. Haji Wright Sunderlanded Sunderland; Gus Hamer Sheffield Uniteded us; and then Liam Kitching and Brad Collins encouraged Burnley to do a Burnley. Joey, Neil, Dom and Imogen have a go at Lampteyfying those fixtures. Have a great time with…

Episode 290 - Return Of The Mark
Hallo. Neil here. I'm not on this week's podcast and yet I demanded full responsibility for uploading it. I'm currently swigging a Friday afternoon pint in a place that's too noisy, so have no idea what the episode is about, but all I know is that it's going to be a national sensation. That's the...
-
Episode 289 - The Best Haircut Assessment Club
Welcome back to our podcast. Cov just can't stop winning and your Niis just can't stop acknowledging it (except for the last 3 weeks when we haven't podcasted). This week we talk about all the good things that have happened, and all of the good haircuts in the current squad. We also explore the...
-
Episode 288 - The Ellis Simms Emotional Investment Club
It's been a good couple of weeks, so feel free to shove that "reality check" up your jacksy. Leeds are a good team. What a surprise. Your favourite fortnightly podcast returns to talk about the stuff you don't want to. And as an extra special treat, Joey, Neil and Dom are joined this time around…
more -
Episode 287 - Jamie Allen is not a baby
Cov have rattled through January and are now engaging in something closely resembling "form". The Niis remain coy, though. Join Joey, Neil and Dom as they discuss what it's like to win two (or three) games in a row. All the best to yer. Twitter: @niilampteyshow Facebook: niilampteyshow Instagram:...
-
Episode 286 - New Year, Some Fear
Happy New Year one and all. Lots has changed in the last couple of months, but also, not really. The Lampteys investigate. Best of luck to yer. Twitter: @niilampteyshow Facebook: niilampteyshow Instagram: niilampteyshow Email: [email protected] Website: www.niilampteyshow.com Shop:...
-
Episode 285 - You are witnessing the birth of Norman Bassette
The last time you heard from us they'd just sacked lovely Mark. Much has been said and done since that episode, so it's high time the Niis got back together to discuss. Joey is joined this week by Dom and Laurie, and special guest Lew. Enjoy yourselves. Twitter: @niilampteyshow Facebook:...
-
The sacking of Mark – Emergency Nii Lamptey Show podcast
In the immortal words of Didier Drogba: it's a disgrace. It's a flipping disgrace. Even though we podded two days ago, it was absolutely essential for the Nii Lamptey Show to get together and discuss the sacking of the greatest man in history, Coventry City saviour Mark Robins. Join us for our...
-
Episode 284 - Mark Was Ready
He lost to Sheffield Wednesday, lost to Preston, couldn't beat QPR. They were going, "Well he's definitely sacked now." He beat Luton 3-2, then Middlesbrough 3-0, pulled over and said "What were you worried about?" Twitter: @niilampteyshow Facebook: niilampteyshow Instagram: niilampteyshow Email:...
-
Episode 283 - When Mark Is Ready
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. Twitter: @niilampteyshow Facebook: niilampteyshow Instagram: niilampteyshow Email: [email protected]...
-
Episode 282 - Return of the Participators
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...
-
Episode 281 - Tottenham Lukewarmspur
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...
-
Episode 280 - The Head Loss Rehabilitation Programme
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...
-
Episode 279 - And that, ladies and gents, is how it's done
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...
-
Episode 278 - Back once again for the low-grade podcasters
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...
-
Episode 277 - The second best end of season review podcast
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...
-
Episode 276 - The Greatest Semi Final EVAH
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:...
-
Episode 275 - The super FA Cup semi-final vs Man Utd chat show
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…
more -
Episode 274 - Back by the mildest demand
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…

Episode 273 - Eleven Games, One Podcast
**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...
-
Episode 272 - Luton & The Dabo Miss
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...
-
Episode 271 - The Super Terrific Happy Hour
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...
-
Episode 270 - Making the playoffs is not for the faint hearted
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...
-
Episode 269 - International Broken?
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...
-
Episode 268 - Fancy February
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…
more -
Episode 267 - A completely different Cov
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…
more -
Episode 266 - The one where Doug/Don King does a football club takeover
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...
-
Episode 265 - Birminghameredcard
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:...
-
Episode 264 - Dom Bye-am
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...
-
Episode 263 - Lamptey Returns!
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...
-
Episode 262 - Bournemingham
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...
-
Episode 261 - Cottage High
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...
-
Episode 260 - Everything but the Goals
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...
-
Episode 259 - Viktorious
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. Twitter: @niilampteyshow Facebook: niilampteyshow Instagram: niilampteyshow Email: [email protected]...
-
Episode 258 - Beating Peterborough
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...
-
Episode 257 - Draws
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:...

Episode 256 - How to buy a Bournemouth ticket
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: [email protected] Website: www.niilampteyshow.com
