Naah, you're right: let's just dwell on how utterly shit everything is and abandon all positivity. Yes, we're in League 1 but please let those of us who feel optimistic and -dare I say it- vaguely positive for the first time in many years, be happy? Even if you feel we're utterly deluded, it's...

To be fair, the team we'll be putting out in late August won't much resemble the team of May. That may not necessarily be a bad thing. I'm not convinced we'll walk the league, I'm sure we'll be called to account on more than one occasion (just think of Norwich's opener a couple of seasons ago)...

Makes for interesting reading: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2165616/Coventry-Stoke-offer-Fleck-Ness-way-beleaguered-Rangers.html Nice to know that people really are beavering away behind the scenes. Let's hope something comes out of it (other than legal action).

This is pure speculation and I've no evidence to support this in an way (not even a mate who knows a groundsman) but... Remember how Turner was injured this time last year? Never played for us again as "unfit" until he went to Cardiff where the weather obviously agreed with him and he sprung...

Keogh would be a good choice: he's been a leader of late so why not recognise it officially? Also good to get him used to the idea if Sammy doesn't plan on staying around for much longer.:thinking about:

Got to agree with Macca above: I'd have been fuming a few ago, now I'm quietly resigned. Thing is, if I feel like this, I'm struggling to believe that the players are going to be all boundless enthusiasm and full of belief. 23rd tonight, how many genuinely believe we'll be able to move up just a...

Think we should change to a brown and purple paisley pattern to mess up the statistics. And possibly the eyesight of the opposition.

He looked very solid. Bit nervy perhaps at pushing forward but didn't seem to panic under pressure. Whatever's going on down that academy seems to be working!

I'd still be there if we were to be relegated: who else could I support? City are my team, regardless of whether they're any good or not!

We've a fair squad for the Championship, but only insofar as the first team: a couple of injuries and we'll be asking a lot of the youngsters. For me, the best thing we can do as fans is to support Thorn: he's hardly been given the cash to splash and with King going he's lost the real teeth...

Might not be kahrma or justice, but Shadenfreud certainly (although I doubt I've spelt that correctly). It's funny that I have swung so quickly from being desperatly hoping we'd manage to get him to commit to wanting him to crash and burn: not on a personal level, but just as a means of...

I'd like to see a couple of new faces to keep up the numbers, as much as anything. The squad is shrinking fast: if we pick up a couple of long-term injuries (and we're specialists at those, it seems!) we'll have to get Sky Blue Sam booted up.

Ah, well. I don't think he really had any desire to sign for us, regardless of what was offered. Good luck to him: we'll see how Mr Deegan gets on in his stead, I guess.

Danns is the pick of the bunch there, perhaps. Anyone else get the funny feeling that if results aren't going the right way by the end of the season the whole set-up will implode? They're chucking a lot of cash about on big names: let's hope we can burst any bubbles as they emerge!

I live in Brum and I would like to have more sympathies with the Bluenoses (shared time below in the lower-leagues, inconsistent records, no-one ever really expecting much etc) than Villa if it wasn't for the fact that the vast majority of their fans I know are such bigoted chavs. Hmn. Saying...
