Emile Heskey is playing centreback

He'll be as effective there as he is in his actual position.

Coventry have sacked Steven Pressley. I'm kind of mad.

The club's owners are some of the worst in English football. They're easily up there with the Venky's. Pressley had his hands tied from day one and had to perform miracles - he was in charge of a club with no money and no home, forced to play their games in Northampton. He managed to keep the club afloat for as long as possible, still getting some decent results despite everything going against them off the pitch.

Now he's been sacked on the back of a 2-2 draw with an in-form Sheffield United. Coventry have every right to be aggrieved after leading 2-0, but fuck off, they all would've taken a draw before the game. Drawing that game isn't as sackable offence at all. The owners can go and fuck themselves, no other League One caliber manager could've done better than Pressley when you consider the conditions he was under.

West Midlands football is such a mess. Very sad.

Coventry 2-0 up after 10 minutes

Incredible results this week, adding even more spice to the Old Farm Derby tomorrow. I may be delighted or borderline suicidal tomorrow, depending on the result.

another sick finish from our boy Zach Clough 6 in 9 games now

Incredible for you. We lost 2-0 at Peterborough - who's temporary assistant manager is Aaron Fucking McLean who is still on loan from us. We're not strong enough to keep up the playoff fight I don't think. That's what beating Premiership sides does to you! It's all about next week - beat Reading and we go to Wembley...I want all your prayers!

Yeah @Romo I keep hearing Clough's name, no doubt he'll be poached soon!

I have no doubt's we'll be fighting off some of the lower half premier league sides/richer championship sides this summer but I can't help but think he'll stick with us for a few more seasons

Blackpool are fucking shite.

Norwich - 2 - 0 - Ipswich

Couldn't ask for much more than that really. They were pretty poor all game, resorting to smashing it into the channels and hoping for the best. Only three points off top now, Derby and Middlesbrough still to play at home ... feeling a little bit more positive about where we might end up, but I don't want to get carried away, because it's still so close in that top 7 or so.

The fact we've won 6 of the last 8 and kept 5 clean sheets shows the difference in management though. A couple of months ago, we were 11 points off top, sitting 10th in the league, and the season looked to be over already. thank fuck Neil Adams had the good grace to piss off.
