    Coventry travel to game on Tube

    London's Central Line came to the rescue for Coventry
    Coventry's players had to travel on London Underground's Central Line to reach their game at QPR on time after their team coach became stranded.
    "We were told the bus was stuck in traffic so we decided to get on the tube," said manager Micky Adams.

    "We bought 23 single tickets at Hanger Lane station and our unsung hero was Jay Tabb, who knew we had to change at Hammersmith to go to Shepherd's Bush.

    "I feel a bit sorry for him as well, as I did not even put him in the team."

    Adams added: "We took a bit of stick from West Ham and Fulham fans and got to the ground at 2.20pm, went on to the pitch and won 1-0.

    "Everyone talks about preparation but this proves it is a load of nonsense."

    I'm sure the local French peasant class are quite au fait with Ken Furphy's glorious revolution by now ;D

    I'll save my lectures for another day! After all it is 5to5..... I'll leave educational lectures to UEA and try and come up with one for later on in the week...

    I dont understand much french, but I often hear the locals muttering the name Ken Furphy under their breath. Its then that I know the message is getting over.
