So, it looks as though Richie has followed in Gally's footsteps in making a temporary move up the M1. (Which is handy as i think i remember hearing/reading once that they carshare to work)
But carsharing aside, what do we think both of these players futures hold at City?
is Richie going up there to get some match fitness after a long injury lay off, maybe to play a part for us later on in the season, or is this a sure sign that we're looking to offload him?
I'd say we're trying to offload the both of them, especially considering the quality that we have competing in said players positions, but you never know what's around the corner.
Thoughts?

This rumour was definitely doing the rounds at the Riverside. To me, it sounds about as preposterous as the "Mills nutted Pearson" rumour that was going around last season.
If it was true, these players would be far more than dropped - they'd be suspended without pay, possibly even fired outright, and facing criminal charges.

Stevie Synex - I don't know what's more of a mystery. Our players strung against themselves in a game, PR your own fear of stating that for fear of being sued or something?
Wait a minute, should I expect a law suit tomorrow?
Can I just say illedgedly? That always worked on have I got news for you!!!

"It's a she for Wellens…"
Blimey! I'd assumed the surgery was on his knee.

BTW, the 'allegedly' business so beloved of HIGNFY is only really of any use if someone has been charged by police, a professional body or similar – something that you are allowed to report provided you make clear that it is an accusation, and not a known fact.
Thus "Dr De'ath will appear before the General Medical Council later today. The flamboyant surgeon allegedly turned up in the operating theatre drunk."
If you stick 'allegedly' after a libellous statement, you are still guilty of repeating a libel – the extra word offer you no legal protection. So saying "Robbie Savage is a sheep-sh@gger – allegedly" would be no safer than just saying "Robbie Savage is a sheep-sh@gger".

If I understood the 'she' correctly, there's no longer an end for me to stick the on!

On the end of his knee possibly?

Her knee.

Ah – then it would be a her-knee-aargh. A different kind of injury entirely.
