It's Turmoil Week on that terrific Football League blog The Two Unfortunates (not for the site itself - Lord no - that's just had a revamp and is going from strength to stength). Port Vale and Portsmouth have already had their public dissections, and today it's the turn of Coventry City to be brilliantly analysed by Ian Palmer (@iancpalmer).

You might know Ian from his regular pieces on Coventry City Banter, or the recent interview he did with Lee Carsley. He knows his stuff.

This latest piece gives a tremendously perceptive and insightful report into the Sisu realm for the outside world to digest, and is especially timely given the recent efforts from all corners to publicise our plight and the failings of the current regime.

Have a looksy.

Coventry 3 Middlesbrough 1 - Three is the magic number. Sort of.

Argh, have I really just written that as a title? Apologies, one and all. Unfortunately I couldn't think of anything that rhymed with Alex Nimely.
It's kind of right, mind you. Three positional changes in the starting line up, three goals for the first time in about 3000 years, and three valuable points have brought us much closer to all the other useless sods fighting against Championship relegation.

The Late Kick Off time capsule

Whilst tidying out the blog, I stumbled across a few interviews with various Sky Blues personnel that I'd pointed out over the years. I find the sequence of videos below a staggering indication of just how much Sisu have buggered up our club, and in such a short period of time. They're all from BBC Late Kick Off's annual piece on Coventry, and I'll warn you now - they're so full of naivety, false hope and blatant fibs, it may well make you sob.

It's the return of BBC's Late Kick Off. Regular Sky Blues commenter Richard Keys appears on it tonight, but the interview is already available online if want to have a look. He's very forceful in his views that Sisu have to sell. There's also a bit of back-tracking from the premature statements he made over Christmas, but once again, he's adamant that Hoffman and his investors are keen to get this deal done, and for Sisu to allow it to happen.

Quote of the week

I’m a centre-forward – I like to score goals and create goals so when the gaffer said to me ‘you’re coming to Coventry to play in that position’ I was very happy.
You're not the only one, Mr Nimely. We're delighted to have you.

In an attempt to keep myself sane over the course of the 09/10 season, I decided to use this blog as a place to let off steam and vent my thoughts about Coventry City's progress.
That all seemed to go quite nicely (the blogging side of things, not the team performance), so two years later, and I'm still doing it - rambling away whenever there is something worth rambling about.
The plan is to focus my attention on writing in this, as opposed to indiscriminate ranting at anyone who'll listen, which always tended to be my main outlet. I never really envisaged it becoming a widely viewed Coventry City blog (as my points often annoy), but it's always good to see my posts popping up on forums with people discussing my waffle.
lt's also quite interesting to look back at how many times during the season I threaten to stop supporting them and form my own breakaway club; FC Coventry City Mönchengladbach Saint-Germain.
