Coventry Sphinx 2-0 Bromsgrove Sporting.

Unbeaten league run comes to an end, just the 40 unbeaten. Sphinx are a dirty/cynical side and we couldn't cope first half, hardly had a sniff and went 1 down, then had our keeper sent off late in the first half, harshly as it should have been a pen and yellow but the plum gave a freekick and a red. With no sub keeper I figured we'd take a pasting second half but were the better side but couldn't break them down. Very late on we got a highly dubious penalty, which was put wide and they scored a second at the death. As we walked to the car we could hear their players celebrating like they'd won a cup, which is something our players need to remember.

Also found out one of better players, who had vanished and no one was too sure why apart from a story he was back home in Somalia with family, is actually banged up for his part in a credit card fraud, one of the others was found guilty of smuggling people for profit. Although our now ex player was the only one to plead not guilty to the fraud charge, he's now inside for a year.

Just seen Robbie Savage on BT Sport. What a frigging hair style. He must use more hair spray than Trump.

Someone isn't happy...

"It was not the team I wanted to pick today".

"We have struggled to bring in players in certain areas of the side. To be honest we have been outplayed in every game."

"I've asked for certain people who would have brought in the experience and quality we require. Unfortunately we have not been able to get them over the line."

"This is why I need to bring in new players. It has been difficult as I've discovered. I've been chasing Stuart Downing from Middlesbrough for four months without any success."

Now I'm no Columbo, but maybe he's waiting for a better offer.  I've heard Subway are always taking on new staff.

From my experience you will find Downing hiding on the pitch somewhere next time he is selected to play that's where Arry needs to look.

The Albion game against Stoke all has the atmosphere of a village fete.

Sky could have had Chelsea v Everton and yet pick WBA v Stoke?

Have to show every top flight team so many times. So trying to get the dull sides both out of the way in one go. I suppose there is a vague claim of it being a derby (even though it isn't).

All I can hear is Tiny Penis screaming. Probably to tell his players under no circumstances to entertain. Awful match.

Very quiet, even though the baggies have just scored.
