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.

@dharvey4 No contrition.
They still think they’re the victims.

[Simon Gilbert @TheSimonGilbert]

Don’t do themselves any favours do they?
Another “sorry not sorry” statement 😂

@wazzab03 I believe the unit of measurement can be a verb, a noun, or an adjective - depending on how it is used in a sentence.

A signing every bit as massive as his head.

[Coventry City @Coventry_City]

We are delighted to announce that Bobby Thomas has extended his contract with the Club. 🩵

@JHFootballAgent @RyanMAM1987 You certainly know decent Pop Punk JH. No disputing that.

[Simon Gilbert @TheSimonGilbert]

Happy John Harriott season to all who celebrate.
Hope Janice is well JH.

[John Harriott @JHFootballAgent]

Coventry City have begun an ambitious campaign to get Mason Mount to the club for next season. Mount said to be ‘desperate’ to play under Frank Lampard again. #CCFC #PUSB

[Simon Gilbert @TheSimonGilbert]

@RyanMAM1987 It wouldn’t be a summer transfer window without him for me.
The Rudoni shout he got right is absolute proof of stopped clock theory too 😂

[John Harriott @JHFootballAgent]

Coventry City are currently working to sign Jack Rudoni from Huddersfield Town. The sky blues and Rudoni have already agreed details on a 4 year deal with a transfer fee of an initial £2M likely. #IWannaDanceWithRudoni #PUSB #HTFC

@JHFootballAgent What an album.
And now the JH seal of approval.
Tip of the hat to you sir.

[Simon Gilbert @TheSimonGilbert]

@JHFootballAgent John. I’m always open to recommendations.
Well done on not gatekeeping the purest of art forms.

My eldest has edited a Godzilla-themed YouTube video by himself and he’s pretty proud of it.
If anyone would like to give it a like (or subscribe to his channel) he’d be well chuffed.
Cheers.
