Sage Hughes Spices Up his Diet...
Apparently, its been revealed that lady haired sitting duck Mark Hughes is trying a bizarre new diet to try and shake off the stress of no wins in 7 matches and get some colour back into his hair.

He keeps taking herbs from Shaun Wright-Phillips little herb garden, promising to pay it back once it's worked his magic. The Man City Chairman Kowloon Ready-Brek has confirmed ahead of our Carling Cup clash with City: "Mike (Mark) has had to deal with more unwanted draws than Tom Jones, and is trying to de-stress using this bizarre diet. Sparkly things it will work, I can definitely confirmed he's eating nothing else, he's just living on borrowed thyme..."

Thought for the day:
Lets not forget Chelsea have spent a billion million pounds on players, while we have shelled out a paltry £3.61 and a packet of Discos. Easy to forget, but lets not forget that thats the difference...

Reaction Stations...
Bacary Sagna and Tomas Rosicky have voiced their frustrations following our home hiding at the hands of the history boys.

Sagna said: "Robin van Persie’s absence is weighing heavily on us and we need to find a solution. There was too much of a gap between ourselves and Chelsea. They were better in the individual battles and kept the ball and passed it better than we did. The game was a mirror image of our 1-0 defeat at Sunderland (er...). We did not really create chances. Chelsea brushed us aside and we are very disappointed.'But we must not give up, or else we face dropping even further down the table..."

Rosicky wants a better show this week, with another two tricky games, Man City away in the cup, and Stoke at home on Saturday: "Now we have to show our mental strength. Letting our season fall apart would be the biggest mistake. We have to show a reaction in the next game..."
