While we sing together – An antidote to apathy
For all the differences of opinion, the Arsenal game at least brought about a new-found sense of collective determination. When we are able to focus ourselves on a single, agreeable message, we are stronger. Right?

These guys deserve the plaudits regardless.
Especially the waistcoat-wearing, Steven Pressley-shaped man who stands in our dugout.

Barney Pell is a Sky Blues supporter living in France. Like all of us, he holds a unique perspective and back story providing the context for his affinity with Coventry City. In the first of his articles from abroad, Barney begins by pondering his own recognition of the value and meaning of "identity".
