MY GOD - Fowler faces Hip Op

Looks like Our Robbie (hallejuah!) will be spending the fortnight's break due to international football in Germany (thankfully it wasn't last month when Oktoberfest was on!) for a reccuring hip problem.

According to Dave Jones, he's only going for an injection - couldn't he have had that at home? - but no truth in wicked rumours that, with his lack of movement, it's not for hip replacement. Is it being offered as an excuse to give the much maligned Fowler some slack as he is coming in for heavy criticism based on his Bluebird displays?

Maybe it's another reason for Robbie to be rested at Charlton or placed on the bench because he has been massively struggling for City recently. Completely ineffectual in recent matches, barely having a touch and burned out long before the hour mark.

It's a shame to see a football great performing like this at present but with City now in a precarious position, supporters are rightfully unhappy that continuing with two ageing legends in Robbie and JFH is a luxury we just cannot afford.
