Let's all sing together.. in a sensible and well-mannered fashion.
They've only gone and done it again.
You can pick and pick all you like, but some things are just beyond comprehension.
So in lieu of spending many more hours attempting to get to the root cause of our fundamental inability to win games, this week's match report comes to you in the form of some ridiculously crude schoolboy drawings that I done.
Prints for your fridge available on request...
Here's a fact for you: If Championship matches only lasted 70 minutes, Coventry City would be in 13th place, not languishing in 24th.
Okay, that's a bare-faced fib. But given the outrageous amount of games, goals and points we've surrended this year, it feels like something that could be true. Blackpool was yet another case of what-might-have-been. It's obscenely late/early, but I should be happy to be up writing, oozing with positivity as the Sky Blues are finally off bottom, safe in the knowledge that we could even be a single point from safety by the end of the weekend.
As the January window nears its conclusion and the madness of deadline day looms upon us, it seems an appropriate juncture to journey back a few months to August and assess the impact of our only signing of that ill-fated period: Cody "please save us" McDonald.
It seems crazy that this is actually quite a risky post, given the news that we were already willing to sell him to Bournemouth earlier this month. But it's 1:00am, and I'm going to take a punt that he won't be sold by the morning..
Thorn's been chatting about Deadline day. Could be interesting..
We are really working hard and looking to bring some new faces in. If we could get a couple of players in, that would be great.
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.

I’m sure if we had started playing keep-ball the fans would have been disappointed, but when it’s that late in the day you should probably be a bit more professional about it and settle for the one point.
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.
