How's the fixtures looking, Oggy?
It's been confirmed that Coventry's opening game of the season will be against last season's relegation-strugglers Hull City.
The Tigers just avoided the drop to League One by goal difference last season - but Sky Blues commentator and former goalkeeper Steve Ogrizovic believes it's not guaranteed to be an easy start.

"Hull are underachievers, I think, they tend to buy in foreign markets. I thought they would have had a better season last year than what they did," Ogrizovic told BBC Radio CWR.
"New manager, doubtless number of new players as well. It's an unknown quantity.
"But on the face of it, it looks a nice start."
Coventry will not face any team that made the top 14 last season in August however, the following month will see them take a short trip to freshly relegated Leicester City before hosting newly promoted Birmingham City in a West Midlands derby.
They open September by hosting Norwich City, a team who beat them in both fixtures last season.

"Coventry can do themselves a lot of good in August if they start well," Ogrizovic added.
"But then in September, it really hits you because Norwich are always a difficult fixture. We struggle against them for some reason.
"By that time, players are starting to get into the season, they've found their feet. That'll be a truer test of what kind of side we are and what we are going to do that particular year."

Report:Liverpool step up talks with Napoli over major summer deal
Slot's Ambition Drives Aggressive Summer Strategy Liverpool's determination to avoid stagnation under new manager Arne Slot has seen them blaze through the summer transfer window at a relentless pace. After reclaiming the Premier League crown with a 10-point cushion in the Dutchman's first campaign, the Anfield hierarchy appears committed to giving Slot every tool he needs to build a lasting legacy. The pursuit of Victor Osimhen is arguably the clearest reflection yet of that ambition. Advertisement TeamTalk reports that talks between Liverpool and Napoli for the Nigerian forward have begun in earnest. The Serie A side, now under Antonio Conte, have made it clear they are ready to move on from Osimhen, who has just one year left on his contract. Slot, keen to put his own tactical stamp on Klopp's squad, has already overseen five incoming deals this summer, with Milos Kerkez expected to be the sixth. But even after spending over £190 million, the hunt for a true No.9 remains Liverpool's top priority. Osimhen, powerful, athletic, and direct, is considered the ideal candidate to spearhead Slot's pressing, transitional game. But while Liverpool are intent on landing the 25-year-old, Napoli are proving to be predictably uncompromising. Photo: IMAGO Advertisement Initial proposals from Liverpool involved what they termed an 'equal exchange' including Darwin Nunez and Juventus' Federico Chiesa, who has also been linked to Anfield this summer. Both players are deemed expendable under Slot, with TeamTalk stating the Reds value the Uruguay striker at €60m and the Italy winger at €20m. Napoli, however, are not in agreement. According to journalist Valter De Maggio, Aurelio De Laurentiis has 'other ideas' about what constitutes value. 'The English club wants Osimhen and Napoli, from this point of view, does not make discounts on the clause, so it asks for the €75 million as per the contract,' De Maggio said. He added: 'Liverpool would have opened to Napoli, proposing an equal exchange between the players involved in this operation. [Napoli president] Aurelio De Laurentiis, however, has other ideas and from that ear he doesn't hear us: the president of the blue club asks for Chiesa, Nunez and €20 million for the Osimhen card.' This stance complicates matters for Liverpool, who already see the swap as financially fair. Napoli's valuation, however, suggests they consider Nunez's form to have depreciated since his high-profile arrival from Benfica, and they are pushing for extra financial compensation. Nunez Edges Towards Serie A Move as Talks Progress Despite the disagreement on valuation, there is movement. Nunez, perhaps realising his time at Anfield is nearing its conclusion, is reported to have given the green light for a switch to the Amalfi Coast. That could provide the key that unlocks this complex multi-player negotiation. Advertisement Rather than a bundled swap, sources suggest Liverpool and Napoli may break the transactions into three separate deals. This tactic would allow both clubs to better manage the optics and accounting of the transfers involved. It also reflects the reality that each player's valuation will be negotiated on its own terms. Chiesa, whose future at Juventus appears uncertain amid contract stalling and injury concerns, remains a target for several Premier League clubs. Whether Liverpool can include him as part of this operation or finalise his move independently will likely depend on how talks with Napoli evolve. Photo IMAGO Osimhen Deal Signals Long-Term Vision, Not Just a Quick Fix Victor Osimhen represents more than just another marquee signing. He would be a definitive stylistic shift in Liverpool's attack. Unlike the more erratic Nunez, Osimhen thrives in tight spaces, is decisive in front of goal, and has already proven himself in both Ligue 1 and Serie A. His Champions League pedigree adds further weight to Slot's growing ambitions for a European resurgence. Advertisement Given Slot's tactical emphasis on verticality and aggression in transition, Osimhen could act as the focal point for a new-look front three, potentially flanked by Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah, or Wirtz and Frimpong in more fluid roles. Yet, Napoli's hard-line stance should not be underestimated. De Laurentiis is one of Europe's toughest negotiators and if Liverpool are unwilling to raise their bid, they risk missing out on a player who could define the next phase of their evolution. Our View – EPL Index Analysis Liverpool fans will likely see this Osimhen pursuit as a statement of intent. After years of Klopp's pragmatism, Slot is building a side to dominate, not just compete. Signing Osimhen would represent a move that pairs physical dominance with technical precision, a perfect marriage for Premier League success. Advertisement That said, supporters will be wary of losing Darwin Nunez too soon. While frustrating at times, the Uruguayan has shown flashes of elite-level promise. His energy, off-the-ball movement, and raw passion endeared him to fans, even if his finishing lacked consistency. The addition of Chiesa into the deal adds another emotional layer, given his injury record and adaptation questions. However, with over £190 million already spent, including on highly-rated names like Wirtz and Frimpong, Slot appears to have a clear long-term plan. Most fans would argue that spending big on a proven, world-class No.9 like Osimhen is worth the gamble. Liverpool now need to ensure they don't let negotiations stretch into August. Ultimately, if FSG and Slot can pull off this deal, it would set a benchmark for the rest of the league. Champions do not settle. They evolve.

Jake Paul furiously quits Piers Morgan interview after fat-shaming host
Jake Paul let his emotions get the best of him during Thursday's interview with Piers Morgan, ultimately storming off the virtual call in anger. The YouTuber-turned-professional boxer, 28, spoke with the British host on Piers Morgan Uncensored ahead of his Saturday bout against Julio César Chávez Jr. In a teaser clip of the interview shared on YouTube, Morgan, 60, appeared to goad Paul by suggesting that the only 'proper boxer' he's ever fought was Tommy Fury — 'and he beat you.' 'I think the problem here, Piers, is that you think your opinion matters,' Paul hit back. Piers further argued that had Paul fought Mike Tyson in his prime, he wouldn't have 'lasted 10 seconds.' 'This is not a joke. I'm knocking out the best of the best,' the influencer argued, before fat-shaming Piers, saying: 'You versus going to the gym. You're still a fatass.' 'I mean, [Mexican boxer] Canelo Álvarez says that he would potentially kill you,' Piers added. Paul responded angrily, calling Álvarez, 34, a '5'8 little peon.' 'People don't realize I'm a real killer. I really f***ing do this s***,' he said. Elsewhere in the full-length interview, Piers admitted that he thought Paul was 'a great influencer and great YouTuber,' but questioned Paul's abilities in the ring. "You're still a fat ass!"Jake Paul fat-shames Piers Morgan before rage quitting his interview in tonight's Uncensored - dropping at 10pm (5pm ET).SUBSCRIBE: | @jakepaul — Piers Morgan Uncensored (@PiersUncensored) June 26, 2025 Paul didn't take the criticism well, telling off Piers. 'Oh, I'm just taking your audience to sell pay-per-views. I don't give a f*** about your show, dumbass,' he said in exasperation. 'This is a f***ing business enterprise. Buy the pay per view on Saturday, June 28, me versus Julio César Chávez Jr. Thank you, tune in everybody!' Once Paul hung up on the call, Piers said: 'Cheers Jake, really enjoyed that, and good luck to Julio – knock him out for all of us, will you?' Paul's fight with Chávez Jr. marks his first of the year. The match comes seven months after he defeated Tyson, 58, by a unanimous decision. Should he beat Chávez Jr., he could very well earn a ranking, Mauricio Sulaiman, chairman of the World Boxing Council, told Action Network this week. 'We do have a rankings committee, but I believe he has done enough. He has received all the backlash for several years; if he beats Julio César Chávez Jr., I think that puts him in a different position,' Sulaiman said.
