    Agree, Jimmy. I am not convinced by Thorn either, but how on earth can we judge him based on what he has to work with? For all we know there might well have been a number of players lacking 'appetite' for the game on Saturday. Thorn is in no position to drop 3 or 4 or 5 players from his team is...

    Does anyone remember Trevor Hockey? The guy was simply a thug.

    Well if he does have the wrong personnel there's not a lot he can do about it is there.

    Also have to say that surely the squad's confidence has dropped with what is going on off the field. The players themselves must have thought and believed that we were going to sign players as promised and that we would be getting loan players in as promised. Must be going through their minds...

    Bottom line is we need a box to box player. Only Deegan fits the bill. It's all well and good playing Clingan and Bigi further up the pitch, but I don't believe that is their natural game. Big has a good shot on him? Well so does Clingan. Doesn't motivate him to play higher up the park though...

    What you got with a Gunnar was a player who would support the strikers and push forwards into the space between the midfield and the strikeforce. We haven't had that this season. Only Baker and McShuffty get into goal scoring positions (and now hopefully, Deegan). Bigi sits deep, Clingan sits...

    Thing is in football, it's a lot to do with confidence. When you are down, in the bottom three and have only won one game out of 10 that hits morale and that it turn affects the confidence. When you are at a low ebb and feeling sorry for yourselves it then makes it all the harder to play the...

    My uncle, in his late 80's would throw me over a wall. Had nothing to do with football though.

    Okay. Didn't wish to relay it as I thought everyone knew! George broke his leg and someone was sent to his home to relay the information to his wife. The official said to Mrs. Curtis "Sorry, but George is coming home with a broken leg." "Oh dear" came the reply from Mrs.C. "Whose is it?" :D...

    George Curtis is responsible of course for the most humorous City saying ever re his broken leg, or at least his wife is!! :D Great party piece if people haven't heard it.

    £14 to bring a 2 year old

    Don't be daft. For £14 you can buy the club and then sit anywhere you want for free. That offer would be 14 times better than Gary Hoffman's. You'd be a hero.

    I was a Chelsea supporter. Was on the way down on the train to see my beloved Chelsea from my home in Manchester. Was planning some time in the West End of London before heading to Stamford Bridge for the game. Fell asleep on the train, woke up in Cov thinking it was London and asked the taxi...

    Are We Simply Too Nice? Certainly No Crazy Gang!

    When you analyse it, it doesn't look good does it. McSheff - can't tackle Bell - can't tackle Clingan - hardly ever tackles Baker - can tackle but usually goes flying in and has been sent off on a few occasions, so basically his tackling is not good at all. Hussey - doesn't usually tackle...
