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.

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.

He's a big unit as well, could have been even worse if it were another player.

Staggered they got back to play offs after selling their decent players and putting Fat Frank in charge. Fair play to them.. 

Fact is if they got to premiership Darby's points total would be challenged.
