new signing eh? could have sworn his name was junior?

 

The "Junior" bit is his nickname - he's just best known as that. His real name is David.

 

Well, didnt manage to hold out for long did we?

 

At least Wigan are 2 goals down at home to Reading.........

 

And a 2nd for Toooooooon. Probably should have gone for no City scorer

 

That's a good point there Sheepy.

If City fail to score in this game, that'll be the 9th game out of the 16 so far that it's been a "City nil" result.

If I'd predicted City to lose every game without scoring I've just worked out I'd have 16 points instead of the 9 I've got - and that's without getting any 3 pointers for correct a scoreline.

I'd be way out at the top of the league - should I start now?............

 

Another failure to keep a clean sheet.

Is it too early in the season to be getting anxious about our relegation rivals results?

 

City Score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Knew I shouldn't have changed my scorer

 

Never mind my sporty prediction, we went to Newcastle expecting nothing and got nothing.

However from what I heard our second half performance was encouraging and we won the final 45 minutes.

Colin now has 2 weeks to get the team in the right shape for Sparkey's favourite team. It also helped that the 3 below us lost as well (I think).

While we have lost the last 2 we can still look upwards positively and our squad have time to get over the injuries and illnesses of late.

 

Yup Bluey - the three below us also lost and Forest just got a point at home to QPR. Looks like Wolves and Burton are also being dragged down toward the danger zone.

Despite my tongue in cheek prediction league City win punt, that was a bloody good loss (if there is such a thing) today at Newcastle.

There aren't any other teams in this division who are as good as them and plenty of others to go at for points up until the New Year.

 

We need some points.

50 is the benchmark for survival.

 

I've put a bet on that yourselves and Swansea will be swapping leagues next season.... Got some pretty long odds but I am confident you'll do well this season with Colin in charge!

 

Wow us to go up I like your confidence in us but not sure that even the great Colin can pull that off this season.

 

Thanks mate always liked Newcastle, you've had a couple awkward years with various managers I hope Rafa can get a club as big as yours where it should be (IMO challenging the title)
