@HLTCO Coventry City, a club without a home by @TheSimonGilbert puts our rise since relegation in 2017 into perspective given we had to move grounds again to Birmingham and even have to play one game at Burton, and sell a key player to pay for our pitch after the rugby 7s

A question for my followers… If you could only recommend one football book for people to read, what would it be?

@refsupportuk He was, objectively, poor I’m afraid. For both teams. No excuse for abuse. But valid criticism should be welcomed. Or else how do any of us develop? #PUSB

🚨 Here are the latest Can't Catch Cov standings. I've added in the Autos Line, which is actually a point closer after today. 93 points is now the max required to guarantee autos (Ipswich play Boro, meaning both can't finish on 93). Not the worst day, all told.

@olliejustwanks Bit early to write off the next three seasons 😂 They’ll converge as they all develop. Especially if the engine rule change really will pull Mercedes back. But the super clipping and going slow on straights in qualifying can get firmly in the bin.

F1s ability to completely do itself over with every rule set change is impressive Mercedes consistently 1 second ahead with these rules is insurmountable. 2 races in and the next 3 seasons are done Loved it since a child but I genuinely cant be arsed when its like this

@Anthony_Hornsby One other thing to note , everybody thinks Leeds & Burnley run away with it last year , up to matchday 40 , both teams only had 82 points , they both won there last 6 games to get to 100. We are just as good after matchday 37 👍👍

Time wasting after 41 seconds BTW. #PUSB

@pnefc Coventry weren’t all that despite commentators bigging up their ‘superiority’. Two pretty flukey goals and a pen for a dive let them play with confidence. PNE still look a bit wooden. We need fit players.

Reform UK’s Warwickshire County Council leader George Finch faces a vote of no confidence next week. The 19-year-old became the youngest council leader in the UK when he was voted into post last July. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Normally ignore this kind of 💩.. but this one has got a bite from me.. you’re allowed to hate me.. that’s your opinion, but don’t randomly diss everyone I work with “H”.. four minutes before kick off.. 🤷🏼‍♂️👍🏻🙏🏻🩵#PUSB

I actually fucking hate BBC CWR. I think everyone that works there is awful and reflects the club very badly. Whether it is Rob Gurney randomly going on a rant against Dasilva, or Oggy just being retarded. Shocking. #PUSB

Haji Wright has missed more big chances (17) than any other Championship player this season. He's also the second-highest scorer (16) in the division. Yesterday, we saw Haji in a nutshell. At 1-0 and with City down to 10 men and half time minutes away, he goes through on goal but fluffs an attempted dink over the keeper. 3 minutes later, he puts the Sky Blues two up. He missed a big chance but didn't let his head drop and kept on working himself into goalscoring positions. Within minutes of a potentially-costly miss he had the composure and strength of character to bounce straight pack and score what could be a key goal in the Sky Blues' season. Haji Wright - he gets into more goalscoring positions than anyone else in the league - and he scores plenty. Oh, and he's firing @Coventry_City back to the Premier League. #pusb
