    Yeah the hope is that the PL motivation will push us to a win. My feeling is the tiredness/lack training might outweigh it.

    Something about this is telling me a draw. I feel like it’ll be a disjointed match with players coming back from international duty.

    So frustrating for him to play 90 mins for absolutely nothing

    Things you hope happen before the end of the season

    Sounds cheesy, but I really agree with this. The only thing that gave me hope as a teenager through the dark years was my dad telling me the potential of the club and about the ‘great years’. Really want this to be sold as something amazing to younger fans. We’ll have a fanbase for another...

    Video Coventry city: the long road home

    True although never kicked out their city twice. Not actually being able to watch your local football team is the ultimate insult. I guess the only thing close is AFC Wimbledon?

    VAR

    Yep. A fundamental error is believing there is a ‘right’ decision in football. Obviously there is with binary things like over the line or not, but with fouls it is so rare to be completely a right or wrong case as it’s about interpretation. It’s why we all enjoy debating it. Those that are...

    Video Coventry city: the long road home

    A brilliant video, but I think if we go up there really should be a full documentary of the whole story from the fall to the revival. I’m sure people will think I am sky blues bias, but I can’t think of a more remarkable story in the English football league. Relegated three times. Moved out of...

    VAR

    I’m against it generally, but if it has to be used it’s so obvious to me how. You basically implement like it was initially in cricket. This is not a re-ref tool, but a tool to get rid of the absolute howler. How do you decide what a howler is? If the decision can’t be made within 20 seconds...

    What will you miss?

    I think weirdly one of the biggest reasons for our fall was being in the PL for so long and constantly hitting a ceiling. Fans and the club had become demotivated with avoiding relegation being the only success season upon season. As a football purist I don’t think any competition can be that...

    What will you miss?

    The only bonus of going to the PL is the money that guarantees the club’s financial future for a time. This has been a brilliant season and getting to the PL would be the ultimate redemption. However it is the getting there that is the best part. I honestly don’t think the PL is all that...

    What do you want from next year?

    A win at home to Villa. Going down to them 25 years ago still hurts and that would feel like a redemption having not played them since.

    Immigration and Asylum

    I didn’t realise there was an immigration forum on here. Surely we’re all bad enough on Cov topics 😂😂😂

    Boring

    That was one of the few great things about being in league 1 and league 2. International breaks were like a double gameweek. I could watch England and then Cov.
