Coventry Stay Up, Leicester Don't!
By CovSid67 May 4 2008
Arise Sir Ian Holloway! Arise Sir Carlo Nash! Between the two of you, you've helped my beloved Coventry City stay in The Championship! Not that Coventry City actually deserve to, taking a battering away at a very average Charlton side. There's massive relief, but also massive anger if that performance was as good as Coventry City could muster in such an important game....

Holloway's failure to drag Leicester away from the wrong end of the table (Which will surely see him replaced by Iain Dowie .... finally!), and a couple of top quality saves from Nash today (Not to mention a little help from a post!), mean that despite a spineless display against Charlton, we're still only one division away from the top flight.
A tense afternoons watching in The Wallace*, where the radio was switched off when it became apparent Coventry City hadn't bothered to turn up, before solely concentrating on the football on the TV, was like torture - especially as Stoke looked far from a side that are supposedly Premiership bound.
Happily, it's the tears of Leicester City supporters, who saw their side drop down to the third tier of English football for the first time, that will be filling news time on TV. And plenty of them were spilled!
Now off I'm off to the pub to watch a few quality Coventry bands, and get bladdered, before writing a proper report on the days events....
* The intention was to buy a ticket for our final fixture, and also watch Coventry's second finest 'The Pockets' in Camden on Saturday night, which was scuppered after Coventry City sold their entire allocation for the match at The Valley.

For the record, The Pockets were ***ing awesome. If you've never seen them live, get off your a*se and go see them....
