Coventry City midfielder Aron Gunnarsson has been talking on his Facebook page.

For those of you not on Facebook, here is what he said about his first goal and the City support.

"Hey guys

Thanks for reading my first blog and for your feedback. A lot has happened (including my goal!) since I last wrote so I've got plenty to tell you about.

I'm sure all the fans who went to Blackburn will agree with me that it was a great occasion. Because I'd missed a couple of games I was really looking forward to it and I felt really fresh before the game. Sometimes you get a feeling before a match when you know you're going to play well and I was happy with how I did.

It was made even better by scoring my first goal - and what an amazing feeling that was. I'd missed a header that I should have scored earlier in the game and needed to make up for the miss and so I was so, so happy to score.

I didn't actually know what to do when in went in. I had planned out a celebration for my first goal but I just forgot about it and went crazy with all of you behind the goal! I'll have to wait until I get a goal at the Ricoh and then get to do it.

I know they'll be lots said about the replay and possibly playing Chelsea but I won't talk about that today. My mind is on Burnley and Birmingham for now. Instead let me tell you about my break!

After the suspension the manager said I should have a rest just to chill out and freshen up. I went to Tenerife with my mum for a few days and did exactly that - it was warm and relaxing, and packed with old people so all I could do was enjoy the weather!

When I was signed, the idea was that I'd get regular breaks because of my age but it's worked out that I've played nearly every game. Don't get me wrong - I love that - but I probably needed a little rest just to stop me going stale. I've played more games already than I had done in the whole of last season - and with travelling for internationals too, I was getting a little tired so having a little time off has worked out ok and now I'm buzzing.

I was ready to come back and get training again but then the supposed 'big snow' came and my flight home got delayed. I was sitting in the airport thinking that it was going to be this really bad snow like we get in Iceland - but it was nothing like that!

I've seen a lot worst than we had here. Maybe everyone went over the top because you're not used to it - I'm used to it so I'm a little more tough I guess!

I did decide to go and have a drive to Ryton to see how it looked because it was a bit like home for me and that's nice. But I got to the Sky Blue Lodge and nobody was there (apart from a photographer) so I just had a look around and then a little kickabout for fun.

It's a bit weird because back home, we would train whatever the weather. When it was really bad, we trained indoor on artificial grass - but we used to do our running outside. That was the worst because you'd be doing 15km runs but you couldn't actually see where you were jogging because of the weather.

But jokes aside, I'm glad you all had fun and thank you for all the snowman pictures. I guess you all think I'm the Iceman so decided to dedicate some of them to me! They all made me laugh - but someone (not naming any names) made one that was really fat so I wasn't as impressed with that one!!!

It's all good though and you know I appreciate all the support you send me. I try to clap you at the end of a game because you deserve it - I know we don't always play amazing and win every week, but your support has been incredible all year to the team and to me. It gives me a buzz to clap you and cheers for clapping back!

Anyway, thanks for reading. See some of you tomorrow and then hopefully loads of you for Birmingham and Blackburn.

Thanks,

Aron"
