Liverpool has You'll Never Walk Alone, West Ham has I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles and now Coventry City fans have their own pre-match anthem.

I had already planned my first goal back I was kissing the badge of this club who has supported me and my family through the darkest days of my career over the past 18 months. I absolutely adore and love Coventry City. All my close friends and family know that. I’m a fan and always will be and I will 100% apologise to anyone who thought the timing was bad as my first goal back just happened to be against my hometown club. Good luck to Frank and the boys for the rest of the season. PUSB🩵
Mad entitlement this.
We’re going to rattle the entire league at this rate.

“Without sounding disrespectful” he says disrespectfully.
Anyone who thinks that Newcastle side has more quality than Coventry is delusional.
Your boys just got tonked 4-1. Back in your box. Back in the Championship.

A stinking, and I mean stinking, lack of quality from Newcastle United against, without sounding disrespectful, a very poor Coventry City side.
How this man didn't score... #NUFC

Coventry City have agreed a £1.6m deal with Coventry City Council to purchase land to help with future stadium development.
The structure of the deal is another sign of the growing trust between the two parties after years of conflict

Weird. He didn’t seem to raise any of these issues when Matty Cash was selected for the Poland national team, despite not speaking Polish.
What’s different here?

Po polsku nie mówi, Polakiem nie jest i z Polską nie ma nic wspólnego. Z jakiej niby racji ma reprezentować nasz naród w takim razie?! Panie Prezydencie @NawrockiKn, proszę do tego nie dopuścić.
Huge huge huge.
Tactics masterclass from Frank Lampard.
Such a difference from the Brighton game.
We’re getting there. Now time to kick on.

We’ve abandoned our philosophy and our identity.
I’d rather we had a go at home and got tonked.
Don’t mind this shape away. But we shouldn’t be going into home games scared to concede. And then get pumped anyway.
Learning a whole new shape in the Prem is madness.

Best performance of the season.
So many positives. It’s coming.

The most Triple Captain chips EVER on one player 😱
Erling Haaland now holds the record for the FOUR most Triple-Captained players of all-time 🤯
No pressure, @Erling 😅
I suppose I've created an atmosphere where I'm a friend first and a boss second. Probably an entertainer third.
Former Premier League referee Mike Dean says he used set himself mini-challenges during matches "as a laugh".
BBC Sport understands that referee figures consider Dean's claims to be unfounded, which would be historical and go back to the pre-video assistant referee era before 2019 when Pro Ref was under different leadership.
Bit of context.

Sucker punch loss.
We go again.
Man City away should be easy enough.

Why do I feel like a load of people are going to send the season ticket on to their mate for the first game because they can’t attend.
Then realise they can’t get their ticket back and it’s on their mate’s phone for the season. 😂

Haven’t seen Cookie take this much heat since he duped @_DHOTYA by claiming he’d commandeered a McFlurry machine.

He’s a good lad. Go easy on him 😂

Huge signing.
In every sense of the word.

Trophy has our name on it.

Lots of people unhappy with this I see.
I know, from experience, that the BBC listens to concerns.
If you have any you can raise them.

Or you could moan into the social media abyss.
Or you could just scroll on.
Or you can engage.
It’s a free country man.
You guys do you.
Villa are probably going down though.
