It seems the Football League still has a problem with us. After all that rubbish about being unsportsmanlike with drinks breaks under G-Wezzle, they are giving us a cold shoulder. It is true to say – they are sending us to Coventry. Literally. If you’re from an era like us, then it is almost the most offensive anyone could do to you. Being sent to Coventry.
OK. So we’re rather playing on a saying that we have no understanding of the origin. But it is true to say we are off to the Ricoh this weekend and, what’s more, we’re going to be on a magic square device that transmits pictures. They have even moved the England game to a Friday night so that we are given the most opportune run-up.
It is always fearful that you make a bottom of yourself in front of watching eyes. But we’ve got over that. We are a shiny, beautiful football club that is making history each and every day we take to the field. And Coventry? They have it all to prove. No manager and just the two divisions below where we all remember them… nothing to fear.
Cast aside the indiscretion of the Dulux Tin Shield against Dagenham and Redbridge and whoever else they fancy merging with – a bad day at the office. We are UNBEATEN in the league and with a 100 PER CENT record away from home. What possible reason is there to be doubtful of inevitable success in the West Midlands.
Of course, we hate to be cocky about these things. It does no-one any good. But we’re one of those clubs with a lot to smile about and we should absolutely cherish it. If the Football League want to send us to Coventry, let’s come back with a smile on our faces.
