Swansong

Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened. Unbeaten at home, and hosting a Swansea side with the worst away record so far this season in the division. Only a fool would predict what the outcome would be. The rest of us are football fans. Coventry City vs Swansea City - 02/11/21 Christ alive … Continue reading Swansong →

Can I Boro a Feeling?

As last season wore on, I started to notice a trend. Whenever there was a pause in our season; be it due to international breaks or COVID-19-related postponements, we would always manage to turn in a lethargic performance on our return to play. Needless to say, then, that with a tough run of fixtures coming … Continue reading Can I Boro a Feeling? →

Reading And Leads

It's almost as though the summer never really happened, isn't it? There was a lot of worry and a dash of negativity going into the start of the new season, as many Cov fans felt that the team hadn't really improved on what was at our disposal by the end of May. Matty James, Leo … Continue reading Reading And Leads →

Much Ado About Notting

Coventry City vs. Nottingham Forest - 08/08/2021 Sometimes, the size of the occasion can outweigh the occasion itself. After what feels like more than two seasons, we are finally back home. The Ricoh/Coventry Building Society ‘CBS’ Arena has missed out on promotion to, and survival in, the Championship. It has missed out on Liam Walsh, … Continue reading Much Ado About Notting →

Can We Play You Every Wyc?

Adams Park is a happy hunting ground for Coventry City, and I’m sure almost every Chairboys supporter you ask would agree. With that in mind, it’s easy to say that it’s never a bad time for us to play this fixture; and on the back of a nice unbeaten run in the league, confidence amongst … Continue reading Can We Play You Every Wyc? →

Volume II: Exodus.

The men in suits Have shown no colour Lest the grey and black hues of their attire Perhaps, the suits are their armour, And their monies? The weapons. And yet, No matter how flimsy their armour, No matter how unbiased their colour scheme Theirs is the most potent weapon. Money. The sole dictator of life, … Continue reading Volume II: Exodus. →

Cov One – ‘Don Juan

Christmas is over, and we're now back to normal; almost as though it never happened. For example, Coventry City won three matches over the festive period, and then lost to Scunthorpe following the passage of Yule. As such, we seem to have found our footing for the season, and it's very much a mid-table-resembling 'win … Continue reading Cov One – ‘Don Juan →

We’ve Got A Luton Our Plate

The dawning of a new December brought with it the dreadful despairing of a deciduous dip in our displays. The six-game unbeaten spell that befell us in the autumn was now well and truly confined to the remnants of football history, and we have left our positive vibes to freeze in the harsh wintry climes. … Continue reading We’ve Got A Luton Our Plate →

Catching Back Up

A month can seem like a long time in football. It certainly seems like a while since I lasted posted. Typically, such tardiness has occurred at a time when Coventry City have given me quite a bit to write about. Five wins on the spin, eh? An extra sixth game unbeaten, Saturday's 1-1 draw with … Continue reading Catching Back Up →

Pomped Up Kicks

Is it too early in the season for squeaky bum time? How important will this week's results be in eight month's time? How important is a consistent system when so much can change from one game to the next? Am I asking too many questions? Do bums even squeak? I'll try and answer at least … Continue reading Pomped Up Kicks →
