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.

Simon Gilbert retweeted
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.

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.

Everton finish the summer with just 18 senior, outfield players.
If just one of those is injured or suspended then the only way the club can fill a matchday squad with senior players is by naming two keepers on the bench.

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 😂

I would never put EMC in the slow and weak category... 🤔🤔🤔
By FAR our best left-winger, and 1 of 2 most saleable assets outside of our new purchases.

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.

"Emery could be sacked this season and Villa could be down there." 👀
Do you agree with Conna Chahal's Premier League hot take? 🤔

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.

Ashley Cole has decided to step away from his role as #YoungLions coach after a five-year period that included back to back #U21EURO wins.
Wishing you the best for the future, @TheRealAC3! ❤️🏴

ALT Lee Carsley's message to Ashley Cole: "I want to pay tribute to Ashley who played a major part in our two EURO wins and also had a key role in the current campaign with his tactical and technical knowledge. As well as being an important part of our coaching team, he also had a positive, inspirational impact on the players given his own elite experience. I am certain he will have even more success in his coaching career whatever the future holds."
