A BROKEN RECORD

"It has to be everything or nothing," Said the Great Dane on Siddy's official site.

Schmeichel's fitness will decide if he stays in net for City next season and he admits that he feels like a Scouser sometimes.

"Everybody has days when they don't want to go to work," Schmeichel told the club's official website.

"As a footballer you cannot think like that, you cannot cut corners. Those type of pressures that you have to go out and do your job can give you the strength to carry on.

Only the best will do.

"There are no short cuts, you have to perform up to a certain level. Having the options of saying that you don't feel up to it and the manager can put someone else in is not for me. I could not work like that."

"I know there is a decision to be made sometime but as far as I am concerned it could carry on well into May and that wouldn't be a problem for me.

This newshound thinks he should call it a day before he turns into as big a joke as the team he plays for.
