IT'S LOOKING DIRE DOWN T'TURF

After yesterdays dismal performance against a pathetically limited Blackburn Rovers its hard to see where the next points are coming from. I hope that the Clarets can find it in themselves to get themselves out of the hole they are in, but I think a combination of the worst squad in the division coupled with a manager who has never looked anything other than completely out of his depth will see the warriors of Wembley reduced to championship chumps.

It didn't have to be this way. I really do belive that although the away results were equally dire under Coyle he did have a capacity to get that little bit extra out of a limted and very restricted squad of players. Next up is Hull City away. This fixture is what the words "must win" were invented for. If there is to be any hope of a fairytale finish (other than Grimm!) then 3 points are a must. Then the big one. City at the Turf. Got my ticket and I don't want to say any more about it for now.

BLOODY HELL..ROBINHO MIGHT BE BACK!!

Crikey. Scary story in the MEN today that reports that unless Santos can come up with £375000 a month to pay Robinho's wages then he could be back at Eastlands by the end of the season. This would not be a good thing. I know theres's a recession on but can't we just sell him. I know we'd probably have to take a bit of a hit money wise but it would be worth it to move on from this sorry episode. Look, he's a great player, even a world class player, but he's not an English Premier League player. Too lightweight. Not physical enough. A bit of a mard arse if the truth be told. He will be brilliant in the World Cup (might even win it!) and he would grace the tedious/slow/over elaborate/walking pace bore fests that are the Italian and Spanish leagues. But he will never cut it in the pacy, physical, direct style of football that makes the English premier league the best in the world.

YOU'RE NOT BLOGGING ANYMORE!!

Just been too busy.

Been a few twists and turn since last post though. Could be the last post for the Clarets unless things pick up tonight against Stoke at Turf Moor. 3 points essential I think. Time and games running out and no-one looking like they want to whizz past us by going into meltdown like normally happens at this time of year.

City are sitting fairly pretty though. Though it has to be said the football has been anything but pretty of late. Knocking on the top four door though was always going to be about more than playing gung ho attractive football and just grinding out results was going to be needed. Some players though have looked strangely out of sorts. Barry doesn't look half the player he was at Villa and Lescott looks like a bad buy at that price. Even Given has looked a bit shaky. But even though Wembley no longer beckons this is City's best season in the Premier League for a long time, so lets keep everything crossed.
