I've got a bit of a soft spot for Coventry from living right near Highfield Road in the mid eighties, going to lots of games there when I wasn't travelling to see Liverpool and being there when they won the FA Cup in 87 and having a great time in the city that night...but then I remembered Frank Lampard.

Got bladdered in a pub right on the corner of that ground one summer around then.  Like right between the stands iirc.  
Locals were actually dead sound and friendly even when I was playing darts erratically after a load of ale.  
 

Sunderland disgracing themselves here by singing along to Oasis to celebrate going through.  Tacky mackams.

Coventry feel like a club who should be back in the top flight. Not with Lampard though clearly.

The Binley Oak I reckon.  It was a big Two-tone pub back in the day.  The Specials and The Selecter rehearsed in the back room I think.

It was a sound city back then but I've not been back in decades.

Taiwo Awonyi is in an induced coma following surgery after an injury when he collided with a goalpost at the weekend. Horrible news.

Just saw this. That's really scary.

Hopefully not as bad as it could be.

"There is no suggestion that the 27-year-old’s condition is life threatening and it is understood the coma will help restrict his movement and regulate his heart rate."

A bloody awful outcome from a collision with a post though.

That's reassuring, cheers.
