Give us a break

Couldn't they have come up with something better, possibly Polo Park as it resembles our defence, full of holes and it looks like a nought, which is our usual score.

Or they could have named it after their Easter egg range as like the City defenders they only come out once a year!

The way the season is going After Eight could be the right time for the fans to be Smarties, and Breakaway from the terraces and go to the nearest big bar to talk about the soft centres we let in.

Could it be a coincidence that Nestl also sponsor Status Quo whose all-time classic record is Down, Down, Deeper and Down.

Yet another nail was driven in the City coffin by the Trophy defeat at Burton Albion.

It means another £4,000 in lost revenue, but never mind, bring out the buckets and the fans will keep filling them (I don't think so).

Where are Viv Busby's quality signings he was going to bring in?

Up to now we have got a lad who can't even get a game for Doncaster Rovers (Jon Maloney) and an injury prone forward called Giovanni Carchedi from Grimsby who never made the first team.

If this is the best he can come up with, with all his so-called contacts in the game, I would think he has fewer friends than Charles Manson.

Still no good crying over spilt milk as we have got the game against Accrington Stanley in the Gladwish Land Sales Cup to look forward to.

How fortunes change. This once proud well-run little football club only ten years ago humiliated Manchester United by winning 3-0 at Old Trafford in the Coca Cola Cup. Now we can't even reach the first round of the FA Cup or the fourth round of the FA Trophy.
