      Portsmouth 1 Sky Blues 1 - I fancy us at the Ricoh

      After a well-earned point at Pompey, I'm confident that if we're able to put a strong team out, we're more than capable of doing them.

      I'm envisaging a night like the Blackburn match last year (minus the crowd and the queues) where we really take the game to them.

      Typically, I shan't get carried away by a win - I best say that now, I'm not overly concerned about a cup run this year. Yes, it's great for exposure and money-wise, but all I'm bothered about is achieving some sort of consistency in the league. Last year it turned out to be our downfall because we put too much focus on the big cup game.

      That said, it was also the catalyst and really got us playing (for a month, at least) so if we win it best bloody have the same effect again. I'd be delighted.

       

      Best and Westwood playing..

      was good by the way.

      They're our players. All realism aside, It'd be nice to think that was a statement of intent from Coleman. For once, I'd like to see signs of him telling any prospective buyers to sod off if they think we're going to do them any favours. They'll probably get them dirt cheap anyway.

      I watched in disbelief on Saturday as our star player sat and fought off the Beatles-like attention from all of 5 kids (and 15 hotdogs).

      I heard 3 or 4 people ask who he was.

      I told one of them it was Sean Flynn.

      They said "Ah right".

      Brilliant.

      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.
      Attacking and remaining professional are not mutually exclusive, Andy.

      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.
