So the only team to play at the purpose built football stadium in Coventry, with its sky blue seats spelling CCFC, will be a team owned by an Irishman, formed in London, who wear gold and black and have no links to the city at all. Well done all. Well fucking done.

Dom Hyam is basically playing an 8 every week. He is playing so well that his performances aren't even being recognised for the consistency and high skill levels. Best centre back since Scott Dann.
