My thoughts are with every single supporter of Bolton Wanderers tonight as the club enters administration. We Coventry fans know more than most what the greed, negligence and disgraceful actions of owners and companies can do to clubs and supporters. Best of luck to all at BWFC
You get fans who say their club is dying because they lose a few matches. Then there’s Reading. Not so long ago Coventry were in this situation so it hits deep. No fan should have to go through this. Time for the FA to take action against deadbeat owners
Maybe some of my mood about losing today is based around the bigger issues at the club.
We’ve reached the point where Bowen will publicly back protests and state the owner must leave for us to move forward.
We’ve become immune to the craziness of RFC.
Honestly I’m proud of Coventry City. Turning down an offer for one of our best players and refusing to be bullied by a ‘bigger’ club. The progress we have made is staggering!

A wise choice. Until VAR is refined and perfected, it should not be used in the Premier League. A good idea for the future, but it's just too soon
Now it's confirmed Matt LeBlanc is leaving Top Gear, BBC has two options. A. Let Top Gear go. It's not the same as it once was and it's had a good run. Or B. Bring back Clarkson, Hammond and May! They are the only ones who can make the show relevant again!
The Sky Blue Army appreciate you
@sparkymcnulty
, even if the local press don't give you the respect you deserve. You'll be ripping up League 1 next season, cus there ain't nobody like McNulty!

Club being killed by incompetent owners, homeless in 5 months and on course of being kicked out of the league.

Club sends coach to peak over training ground fences.
EFL - “LET’S GET ‘EM!”
Spineless, gutless, clueless, useless!

When it comes to my career, nerves are something I rarely have, but I'm so nervous about tomorrow! On Monday I start a two week work placement with BBC Coventry and Warwickshire. I've been waiting for a chance like this for as long as I can remember, gotta make this shot count
The fans jeering Lee Burge, their own goalkeeper, need to remember how many points he’s earned us this season. If you can’t back your players through good times and bad, you shouldn’t call yourself a fan

After what feels like an eternity, I can finally confirm I’ve accepted an offer to join newly promoted,
@CoventrySphinx
. Saying goodbye to old friends is always upsetting, but saying hello to a fresh start and a new challenge has me more excited than ever to get going!
Your eyes are not deceiving you. We're over the moon to welcome
@TheRealLiamCook
to Coventry Sphinx ahead of the new season.
Liam will be bringing his renowned match coverage to Sphinx and working alongside
@SphinxFtbl
to keep you all up to date.
Day 1 of my BBC work placement. Only thing I was ever gonna wear was my grandads cap. Without his words of motivation when my journey first began I wouldn’t be here. Time to do him proud ❤️
Can't thank everyone at Coventry United enough for the minute's silence for my grandad yesterday. The support the club has given myself and the kind words to my family mean so much to us. This isn't just a football club, it's a family, and i couldn't think of a better place to be
I'm saddened to announce, due to contractual issues, I will be leaving Coventry United Football Club with immediate effect. This isn’t the way I wanted my time with United to end, but I am proud of what I have achieved and I thank everyone involved for 3 wonderful years ❤️💚
My play-off shirt is in the building! Sadly no letters/numbers in stock so that will have to wait, but thank you to everyone at
@Coventry_City
, especially those at the club shop, for your hard work. Hopefully it will pay off on Monday

Weighed myself this morning. Lost another five pounds. Down to 304 now so I’ve lost 31 pounds in total. Probably won’t hit the 300 mark before Maga but I’m very proud of what I’ve achieved so far
I’m beyond excited to announce I will be taking the next step in my career on Monday, when I join the team at Coventry IPTV as their Senior Sports Correspondent and Broadcaster. This is an amazing opportunity for me, and I can’t wait to get started
Delighted we’ve signed Jonson Clarke Harris permanently. I don’t understand why some fans are unhappy about this signing. A local lad, loves the club and played great last season. Best move we could have made. Next season is shaping up to be another special one

David McGoldrick has left Ipswich. Robins, get rid out the players you're not using and use their wages to snap him up! Imagine McGoldrick and McNulty in the same team...

James Maddison called up to the England Under 21s squad again. It boggles my mind to think players like Jesse Lingard have been selected for the Nations League squad, but the player who created the most chances in the Prem doesn't get a look in. Big club bias again
Proud of myself this week. 7 days ago I struggled to find the courage to go to work. Today I felt like I was back to my normal self. Still a way to go to beat this relapse but anxiety is not gonna beat me
I honestly don't see why there is any need for a winter break in professional football. More midweek matches, which means less income for clubs. A more congested fixture list too. These are professional sportsman for crying out loud! And i am NOT spending Boxing Day at home!
I couldn’t stop smiling while drafting this statement. I’m absolutely overjoyed that Coventry United will live on. Thank you to everyone for your support. It means the world to everyone at the club. See you all tomorrow! ❤️💚
CLUB ANNOUNCEMENT‼️
This is the new you've all been waiting for!
Coventry United Football Club are delighted to announce the purchase of the club by
@CovUnitedLFC
owner, Lewis Taylor (
@worldoflewy
).
A new era begins!

I can't believe i'm saying this, but i will be commentating for the BBC, alongside the brilliant Martin Winch, as
@CovUnitedLFC
face Blackburn in the FAWNL Play Off in Bradford on Saturday. This really is a dream come true!

@Coventry_City
The last thing Coventry fans need after over a decade of hell is this. We have a new owner now. One who has the money and the love for football. Anyone who follows F1 knows the mess you left behind at Haas. Please just leave us alone
Our visitors yesterday were a credit to themselves.
Quality on the pitch, gracious in victory and generous in helping us celebrate the 18th birthday of our number one fan.
Thank you Mitch and
@HarbTownFC
– class acts as ever.
Happy birthday, Noah! 💙
Tonight just proves what a bunch of cheats Notts County are. The ref had a mare, luckily that included our penalty. No way are Notts better than us. Give us a fair ref and a pitch that isn’t 90% water and we’ll book our place at Wembley
A new era is upon us…
Today we are delighted to announce a new chapter in our rich and exciting history. From next season we will be playing under the name, Rugby Borough FC...
To say I’m delighted to be back is a big understatement. A massive thank you to the club for welcoming back to where it all began.
@CovUnited
and
@CovUnitedLFC
have continued to thrive on and off the pitch, now I’m back I’m looking forward to playing my part once again
Nothing but love. Two of Coventry's biggest sporting teams standing side by side for the good of our city. Long may it continue. Can't wait to get back to the Butts in August
The feedback from the Rugby vs Sphinx highlights has been fantastic. Finally feel like I’m getting back to my best and it shows. Thanks to everyone for your comments and most of all well done to the lads for wrapping up a brilliant win. UTS!
Shrewsbury get Ryan Haynes, we get Junior Brown AND a lump sum. I'd say we've got the good end of the deal there. Haynes has a lot of potential but just isn't what we need at the moment. Best of luck to him though

8 years ago, i was a nervous wreck as I produced my first ever match commentary at Sheepy Road. Since then I’ve grown and learned so much with
@CovUnited
,
@bedworth_united
, Ambush, GXNG and
@CoventrySphinx
. Thank you to all who’ve been on the ride with me. It’s far from over!
I think some of the criticism aimed at Vicki Sparks is unfair. Personal preference is one thing, but to say someone can't be a good commentator because of their gender is complete nonsense
To all the people calling for Robins to be sacked, be real. The players were to blame today. Individual errors and sloppy play cost us. Robins tactics have propelled an average squad into play off contention. Without him we’ll be fighting for survival next season

One year ago today i said goodbye to my grandad. The hole he has left in my life will never be filled, and a tough year in my life has been made even harder without him. Sleep tight grandad. You will be forever loved, missed and cherished ❤️

I suffered in silence too long. I didn’t know there was help. I was afraid to tell people what was going on. I thought I was the problem, there was something wrong with me. The truth is there is help. People care. And most of all, suffering from mental health is not a weakness!
That was quite the ride. It went the distance, but my first season at Coventry Sphinx ends with survival and a lot to look forward to for next year. Thank you to everyone for welcoming me to the club with open arms this year. Onto the next one!
I think we all knew Stokes would be leaving City, but still sad to hear his move to Bury has been finalized. He was never a player who'd steal the show or score a 40 yarder, but he always did his job with minimal mistakes and maximum effort. Thank you Stokesy

On Tuesday 26th January 2016, i commentated on my very first match for
