At least the kids play with pride in themselves...............they should send the first team tossers to watch them, they might learn something.



I'm half expecting someone to say we should just stick the kids in for the last four games, but that isn't the answer..the last thing I want is for a bunch of lads(several who are City fans) playing in the matches which lead to our relegation. I don't want the responsiblity of that being attached to them at all........
