Troy, Jumps Out of the Pram

O come on Mr Deeny,  stop sobbing and get on with life,  if you can honestly say that in your career you have not taken a easy tumble to give your side an advantage, then I believe you may be telling porkies.   As for all the other "woe is us, everybody is against us" bleating.

Dorrans For a Month, Can he Return

As many of us expected to happen, Graham Dorrans has signed on loan,  what has surprised me is the length of the period  28 days .  I fully expected a full 93 day deal.  We said in an earlier post that enabling Dorrans to be here for any play off games he would have to be signed on the 22nd of Feb.

Careful Of What You Wish For

  Only a short while ago, I remember sitting at Carrow Road listening to the fans following their team from an area of Birmingham sporting their colours of claret and blue singing "There is only one Paul Lambert". While generally having a good laugh at our expense. A short while later, this one and only Paul Lambert left our club to [...]

Nervy, But Enough ...Well Just

A nerve jangling end to a game that City were strolling, taking a surperb glancing header from Subsitute Camaron Jerome from a pin point cross from his fellow Sub Wes Hoolahan to secure the points in an encounter where it would not be unfair to the hosts to say  calculators should have been out counting. Just when City's old troubles start [...]

Some are never happy

Leaving Carrow Road yesterday must have been a pleasing experience, 4 goals, hat trick from a striker getting his confidence back, a clean sheet, despite losing a defender after 20 minutes, and then a peach of a free kick to finish the game. You would think everyone would be happy wouldn't you.. Far from it.. a listen to Canary Call and you wou [...]

Andreu

The media are doing their best to big up Tony Andreu . being touted as City's version of Frank Lampard in one article then in another he said to be similar to Cesc Fabregas by former Rangers defender  Dave McKinnon, who now works at Hamilton Accies.

Olsson and Dorrans Deals Fall Through

It looks like the Olsson to WBA move has fallen through, we have been lead to believe Olsson wanted a relegation clause written into his contract on relegation. whether this was the sticking point or not we are unsure but it looks that way. This looks to have killed off the deal for Dorrans as well, had hoped that the deals were not so linked. Disa [...]

Celtic Eye Hoolahan

Celtic are reported to be close to making a deadline day offer for City's Wes Hoolahan, they sent scouts to St Andrews to watch the playmaker.  Hoolahan started the game but was substituted in the 89th minute by former Celtic striker Gary Hooper. I am unsure on this one, I am a fan of the Little Irish man and see him as one of our most cre [...]
