Mode
of Transport:
Return trains from London Euston for a bargain
£14 where used |
 |
Team:
Gus
went for a change of formation that resulted in
a 3-5-2 of: Ankergren, Dunk, Greer, El Abd;
Noone, Sparrow, Navarro, Harley, Taricco;
Paynter, Mackail-Smith |
 |
Kit:
The Sky Blues were in there traditional kits of
sky blue. Brighton went for the away uniforms of
luminous green and black stripes with luminous
green shorts and socks. Casper Ankergren wore
his vomit gold goalkeepers jersey, black shorts
and blue socks and went for a delightful pair of
leggings underneath |

Poyet's Attire:
Gus worse his large flashers jacket alongside
the traditional suit |

Weather:
Extremely cold but thankfully dry day in the
Midlands |

Stadium
Rating:
The Ricoh is a bizarre place. Four stands of the
same size, the main one features a huge wall, a
load of patio doors and a bizarre balcony that
resembles budget accomodation in some Portuguese
hellhole. Rumours that Madeline McCann was in
that particular stand proved unfounded. 6/10 |
 |
Food
Rating:
A fairly decent food and beer combo was on offer
and the lubricated penises where of a fair
standard. 5/10 |
 |
Entertainment:
Harking back to the days of the elephant
performing a headstand that we witnessed on our
only other visit to the Ricoh back in 2006, it
was particularly poor. 3/10 |
 |
Friendliness
of Locals:
We spoke to several Coventry fans, all of whom
were good solid folk, especially in directing us
to the stadium from the pub. 8/10 |
 |
Standard
of Local Females:
There were not many females about which was
massively disappointing. Maybe this was because
the university were out of term time, but very
little for the full blooded male. 4/10 |
 |
Steward
Rating:
Extremely helpful. Mocked our
flag erection skills and allowed fans to stand
throughout the game. 8/10 |
 |
Flag
Attention:
With a completely unsmooth erection, the flag
was subjected to unwarranted attention, namely
chants of "you don't know what you're doing" as
it attempted to go up. After a ten minute
struggle, it was finally in place for all to
see. 8/10 |
 |
Match
Report:
Brighton made it four games without a goal or a
win with a 2-0 defeat at bottom of the table
Coventry. Gary McSheffrey was allowed to run 60
yards unchallenged before beating Casper
Ankergren at his near post before the lead was
doubled in the second period |
 |
Thought
of the Day:
After a particularly unpleasant experience on a
late night bus in London, one man came out with
the line of "you see all these charity appeals
asking people to give a couple of quid a month
to save some black children. I'd pay that to get
rid of some" |
