Personally I’ve had the shittiest 7 months of my life - heartbreak and subsequently now nearing the end of a divorce. Thankfully I can definitely see the light and the end of the tunnel- hoping to have formal mortgage offer next week on my new place and excited for the future.

Watching this squad of absolute legends has helped spare me from reaching the absolute pits. The back end of last year I was crying due to depression and tumult…this morning I’m crying tears of joy watching all of the footage of last night and reading all of the articles and posts on here.

Glad you have come out of it the other side.

Divorce is crappy isn't it.

Good for you too buddy
How’s your dad?
Was taking to some of the old timers they think reform will win lots but they’ll have the largest number without a majority

Don’t talk politics much beyond vague disbelief at what they’re playing at in govt but yeah I think reform are going to win a lot with the left split.

Dad is good, so so glad I’ll get to see PL football with him again. Maybe we’ll even stay up long enough for my son to see it too (how young is too young to bring a kid to games? )

I took my lad when he was 5 to our last game in the Prem v Bradford. The shittest game anyone could watch but he was hooked instantly. Gutted he couldn't come with me last night.

that Bradford game was terrible.

Our next Prem game should be more exciting, not long to wait to find out...

Like Shmeeee I've been there too, and best of luck for the future buddy...it does get easier.
Had a dreadful time over a number of years, even having to step away from the football for quite a while as well due to personal reasons...but its got better, and definitely onwards and upwards.
Like our magnificent club, you can go to the bottom and come all the way back up...and what a team and manager of stars we have!

Lovely to see the dozens of people in the stand to our left staying until the players were forced off.

Obviously city fans who'd managed to get tickets in the home end.

Great work boys and girls.

Gotten some sleep and am ruminating on last night.

As a match, in isolation, I've got to be real: We were pretty rubbish. My heart sank at the XI and it's baffling to me that Lampard persisted with Rudoni on the right when it plainly wasn't working. It is a huge worry that without Sakamoto, we seem to have no drive, no flair, no creativity and no ideas. I've rarely been as angry as I was when Blackburn scored, but the change of shape, system and personnel injected some desperately needed energy and creativity that eventually paid off.

As an experience: The greatest of my Coventry City life and one of the greatest of my life, full-stop. The SBA utterly thunderous from beginning to end, the utter bedlam that ensued when Thomas scored will live with me forever. Drinking in all of the post-match celebrations, seeing King do the yes yes yes yes, Bidwell Allen Eccles and Wilson being singled out, there was too much to list here and I just didn't want the moment to end.

Fuck knows what's waiting for us next year, but I can barely bring myself to care. I was 13 years old when I last saw Coventry City play in a Premier League match and for so many of those years I was convinced it would never happen again. I'm just going to enjoy the celebrations and look forward to bringing the title home too 🩵

People were bemoaning the performance and how disjointed we were and all of that's true, but there's no way a comfortable win would have beaten that late goal. You could feel the upper tier shake.

I think it has to be firmly filed under “forget the performance, enjoy the outcome”.

We weren't rubbish. We just weren't fluid like we normally are but Frank had evidently looked at it objectively, needed a point, players hadn't trained well that week, Tats missing and EMC/Onyeka off the pace for whatever reason so set up not to lose. Blackburn also played really well, they were gunning for us because they had to. Clear everyone was mentally fatigued from the pressure too.

Think it's a sign of how our expectations as fans have changed.

All that said I want to see us properly go for it now promotion is secure. Time for Markelo to show us why he was worth signing and for Haji and Rudoni to show they can step up with us.

I want that title now, not just lifting the trophy but seeing us walk through a guard of honour.

I told myself promotion would be plenty but I lied to myself, I'm greedy.

Gutted I couldn’t get a ticket but you know what watching the videos of the sba throughout that game brought more than a tear to my eye!! Unbelievable noise all game and to not storm the pitch at the end was as classy as it gets. What an amazing time to be a cov fan.

I've wanted the title for ages now - never attracted by promotion through finishing second. Would rather win the playoffs than that. Gotta keep pushing for those winners' medals.

It was terrible, as have the previous two, really (though Hull are a good team), but at least some of it has to be put down to nerves and fear of making a mistake, making play slow and predictable.

You would have been more than a tiny bit pissed off if a DaSilva travela aiming for Haji was intercepted & they scored.

Winning it for only the second time ever would definetely not be greedy.

Switched on final score on the iPlayer and they had a panel of four including Dion Dublin, they were all congratulating Cov on getting promoted with the exception of Dion Dublin, never said a word.

tbf, he was on football focus earlier saying all the right things.
that said, it's amazing how his "love" of the club has increased as we've climbed up the league.

Nope. All about making sure we are crowned champions at home. Nobody wants to be crowned by another team losing on a different day.
