Christmas cheer and new accessories

Exciting news.  Am just five tiny points off the lead.  Have broken the 1,000 point mark and psychologically this has given me a much-needed boost.  We're over half way now, and I'm still in with a chance.

Went to see Coventry play QPR at the Ricoh yesterday.  Before the game, FM3 presented me with a Christmas gift of Coventry City gloves, hat and matching scarf.  His mission to convert me into a full-blown Coventry fan was going pretty well, until I asked him to put a bet on for me, 1-2 to QPR.  

Still, I donned my new football accessories with pride and joined the supporters at the slightly busier end (had we known the match was being broadcast live on Sky we may have chosen a different fixture). The highlight was undoubtedly an 'almost' fight just before half time -  not between the players - but two Coventry supporters sat near us. I 'almost' won my bet too. Final score: Coventry City 0, Queens Park Rangers 2.
