Is it just my warped sense of humour or does this "Turnbull signs" piccie on the BBC say it all. What have I done?

It does look like we need blue-sky thinking and plan b. But is it just the system or is TM weak in the dressing room motivation department? Melton's past record does suggest that he's totally sussed tactically by mid-season and then parrots "Never mind lads, you tried hard". That more than...

I was infected by Jimmy Hill, was already a junior Sky Blue and then in 1963 the Shrewsbury game gave us an 8-1 victory. That's when I became properly diseased. Still no sign of remission. I want us to bounce back at Shrewsbury's expense and zap the local lads in Coventry who think Man City and...

This Putin-like spin, is not a "conspiracy theory". Anderson is a man telling us how lucky we are to have all these new players when one of them is James Maddison, signed on a loan to the end of the season. I have had to listen to some remarkable press statements for over 50 years, and Anderson...

“We have signed seven players in this window and the ownership of this club has never said no to the manager when he has wanted to sign a player. I believe Andy Turner will have quoted Anderson correctly, who seems to be telling somebody that we have two thirds of a new team ready to help the...

If you're a Cov fan you support the City and to hell with the rest although Otis is absolutely right - rather the underdog than the billionnaire.

At least the lad will probably get a game or two and find himself on the pitch. He wouldn't progress his career being in a Spurs or Liverpool third team. Good luck to him but it's still a hell of a shame.

We seem to be missing the point of the Maddison transfer and what the fee was. Best estimates I've seen are 2.5 to 3m, when we know what the actual number is. A Mouawad 1001 Nights handbag costs 3.8 US Dollars. Therefore our erstwhile leader, the fragrant Ms Seppalla, will have sold him for the...

Exploding refs would certainly add some spice to the game. Get the crowds up?

As someone from that era, I remember style was the brand of cigarettes you smoked. But the enthusiasm was great and I'd love to see Jimmy Hill's marketing skills in use today. That imagery is a damn fine example of cutting to the chase.

The key phrase in the interview is the bit about getting rid of the cobwebs. I really want to see him do well - we just need to give him a bit of time to get going again after the Vile have had him in cold storage for so long.

The boy needs to play (I hope). We need urgent cover for Reda, even if the injury's not so bad. Time for MM to phone Everton incessantly. Even if Matthew Pennington sounds like an extra from Downton Abbey.

Now that's what we really need. Pennington wasn't even on the bench for Everton's last game. Is he injured? If not, we really need him now as I bet we won't see Reda again for a while.
