Attleborough_Canary 65 Posted January 20, 2010 I think that article is a major case of clutching at straws!! I love the bit about O''Toole, they only signed him at the start of the window yet his absence is the reason for all of the goals all of a sudden being conceded. Who did his job before his arrival?

morty 0 Posted January 20, 2010 I think the article is quite funny, very self pitying and looks like they are preparing for failure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir_Stiffy_Cutt 0 Posted January 20, 2010 I can only wonder how that journalist would have spun it had it been us that were soundly beaten. "Cowling wins out in as he rallies his players" " City big boys brought down to earth by English pitch in winter" "U''s benefit from mid winter break"I have emailed my thoughts to this journalist by clicking on his name (stuart.watson@archant.co.uk) at the top of the article. I would suggest that other fans do not pester the poor chap by posting silly comments to him - that is the last thing he needs at this moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
