    Okay, turning the Thorn thing on it's head

    Instead of judging Thorn and whether or not he is doing a good job, let's turn the situation on it's head. Okay, let's just suppose for a second that Thorn is sacked and Gus Poyet comes in, in his place. I chose Poyet him because he appears to be a really good manager and he's right up...

    Pat Rice

    "Arsenal have turned corner - Pat Rice" Tuesday, 13 September 2011 Arsenal assistant manager Pat Rice believes the Gunners' 1-1 Champions League draw at Borussia Dortmund could prove a turning point in their season. I guess this explains why he never made it as a manager.

    Now that's how to do business!

    Been reported that Liverpool's Raul Meireles put in a transfer request at 10.30 last night and was gone by 11! That sort of business by the City would have saved a bit on City fans' blood pressure levels last night for sure!

    Anyone else worried by what Dulieu said on the radio last week?

    What he said on CWR in the interview there was that the club were trying to bring in one or two players by the end of the transfer window. What he didn't say of course was that some of our players may well be sold and how many will be going out of the club. What we need is a bigger squad...

    None of us City fans are daft enough to thank Sisu for new signings

    If it means players are having to go out of the club to fund them are we? Just wondering. Broady is going to say that he kept his word and brought players in, but it is no good if we already have a paper thin squad and all we are doing is replacing good players with cheaper alternatives is...

    Excited about this afternoon?

    Worst start for us in 15 years No wins yet for us this season thus far and just one 0-0 draw We are a team lacking goals Never beaten Boro at the Riverside They have won all 5 matches this season. City short of bodies Off field activities casting a shadow over the club Bodes well doesn't it.

    Busy transfer day apparently, but ....

    Never mind deliberating and second guessing who may come in (if anyone), who in reality will be likely to go from the club? Turner? Baker? Cranie? Clingan? ROD? Out of those for me I would be hoping it were Turner (to generate the largest fee). Baker (just not quite up to Championship level I...

    CWR - oh dear!

    Geoff Foster said Palace scored in the 40th minute and the commentary team have maintained that we have been one nil down for a full 10 minutes.

    I see ALF has scored again tonight.

    He keeps scoring week in week out and his price tag will increase.

    Anyone else thinking ...

    that the following scenario may occur; After all the talk of no money and no players in, Sisu and the board all of a sudden at the the very death bring some kind of nobody of a midfielder or striker in on the playing staff, and us all having been so full of abject apathy and desperation these...
