A month. Quite a long period of time, when you think about it. Mere days seem to last forever sometimes, so a month is pretty lengthy, really.

Things you can comfortably do in a month:

Stop smoking by going cold turkey.

Lose at least a stone in weight and become considerably fitter.

Watch your favourite film (on average) 400 times.

Fly around the world 25 times.

Or...

Watch City play three times.

If the Premier League had planned it that way, they couldn't have hijacked our season much better. Apart from the Fulham match, we have been pretty abysmal, and I put that down firmly on the shoulders of our players lacking match fitness. I'd not put it past the Premier League to punish City for Mancini's transgression with Taggart's Puppet the other day by delaying our start to next season by two months, then forcing us to play catch-up in January, when we will have to play someone every day for two weeks to make up the lost ground. That'll be one in the eye for the Noisy Neighbours, eh?

Good post mate.

Is that a jumper you're wearing in your photo?

Also, is that a handbag over your shoulder?

I really need to know this!

A lovely jumper, yes!

No, that's not a handbag, naughty, it's a guitar strap in a gaudy colour.

There are too many games, now there are not enough games.

I fully respect your opinion, but I'm not buying this sorry. With modern day coaching methods players shouldn't lose match fitness just because they don't play for a week. Similarly I don't believe that the FA are against us and that we are the only club ever to face fixture problems (that is, if you believe we have them).

But then maybe it's me who's lost touch with reality.

Let's not forget a whole 31 days without a home game! That can be classed as a month can't it?

Diabolical is the only word to describe it and a sure-fire way of ensuring that the team don't get any momentum going.

Not to worry, we're now are on a roll with 5 games in 20 days; at least it will keep us busy!

By the way, fact fans, we've only kicked-off a league game on a Saturday once since 6th February, away to Hull.

Last home league game that was played on a Saturday was against Stoke on 26th December. THREE months without a Saturday Premier League match played at home. Our next is the derby on 17th April - that's almost four months without a home match on a Saturday.
