Huge win for my local team Portsmouth in the Championship last night.

Been struggling all season, but have now put together very timely back to back wins against promotion-chasing Middlesbrough and Ipswich !

Play Up Pompey!

Got a soft spot for Pompey as my nan & granddad lived about 5 minutes away from Fratton Park back in the '70's. Always hope they do well and that's a massive turnaround after the hammering they got from QPR a short while back.

Saints are on an unbelievable run under this unknown coach of theirs (Tonda Eckert). Never heard of the bloke until a couple of weeks ago, but blimey, what a job he is doing. Thrashed Wrexham after recent wins against Coventry, Fulham and Arsenal and now on a 16 game unbeaten run. I'm glad City are playing them in the semi-final and not us!!

They are the team in form going into the play-off's but have they peaked too soon? Might all catch up with them, but rather them back in the PL than Boro or Millwall.

Another win for Saints last night. I've got a Saints supporting mate who has very mixed feelings. Over the moon with the run and the fact they could be in the PL next season, but also resigned to the fact they will probably lose this coach to a bigger club. Told him at least he can rule out CFC, as we only appoint yes-men with average coaching ability.

A little quote from Frank that are current & former manager seem to struggle with;

"The best managers put players in their best positions, build the right balance and partnerships and give confidence. That confidence from the manager mattered to me as a player."

So you're saying Sarr at RB (a position he's never played) against one of the best 1 vs 1 wingers on the planet, isn't a good idea?

He’s done it.

Coventry promoted to Premier League!

We know who to bring in as manager to get us out of the championship if we visit there in the next few seasons

Delighted for Frank. Hope Coventry have a proper go, next season.

Rumors we may loan Derry

Does Frank Lampard count as the safer bet now compared to Liam Rosenior? 😅

Not with current SD's/Owners.

All bets are off.

Legend. Great to see, and well deserved. His playing career included some set backs and his hard work, determination, perseverance, and quality/skill took him to the top. Looks like those great traits have served him well here also. All the best in the PL Frank (apart from two games a year!).

Getting flashbacks now to when we lost to Coventry 97 and 98! What’s the odds we get them away again.

A smart club won’t only just be loaning him Derry. Coventry need players, and can’t compete with the established PL teams. We have lots of young players that aren’t getting game time. Smart move will be to sell him a few at discounted prices with a buy back clause and sell on clauses. Your Guiu’s, Sarr, Caleb Wiley, Slonina, Mhueka, Antwi, Essugo (assuming Barco is bought), Gittens (with Quenda coming back) can be sent to him to get loads of mins.

They're certainly going to need upgrades a la Sunderland's very astute approach. The current squad will get eaten alive.

Great news, delighted for Super Frank, glad he's shown the world what he's capable of.

There's a small music museum in Coventry which has the car from the Ghost Town music video. They've sort of hollowed out the inside so customers can sit in it. f**king hilarious. No idea how they got it in there as it's basically on the first floor of a terraced house.

So happy for him, showing his real quality. Now stay there, and come back to us when we’ve finally hit rock bottom and are looking to rise again

So happy for Super Frankie love the man

Maresca?

So happy for Super Frankie! I hope that he stays at Coventry and that the club supports him with some PL quality players (as said above, we should be offering some that need playing time and can improve them). Ultimately, it’s going to be tough for them to stay up but he needs to stay at Coventry to get the experience without the pressure.

Congrats Frank! Trophy winners 🏆🎉🏆🏆🎉🏆🏆🎉🏆🏆🎉🏆🏆🎉🏆

Great achievement by Frank. Been keeping a close eye on Coventry since he took over, and have admired the way he's gone about it.

Well done.
