  1. Past hour
  2. MOTM for me was MOL....a fee critical saves....kept us in it!
  3. Today
  4. Farm have been struggling to fill the bench the entire season One game recently I think there were 2 on the bench, one of those being a 40+ goalkeeper (admittedly one who is still decent for the level)
  5. Monday night to a Sunday is a very different scenario to Saturday to Sunday - and City to Sunderland is about twice the distance!
  6. Yeah was a crowd pleaser that one. Littler won the night as well. Beating Humphries, MVG and Aspinall. Tough route to winning the night, fair play to him.
  7. Very well put Luke My wife was in hospital for last 3 months of pregnancy with severe preeclampsia. Our only son is now 23. Michelle's husband used to visit this site. If he's reading this thread, please pass on a Thatcher's from us!
  8. No i am 8 actually also not a her and actually very presumptuous of you to say what sex I am, also hit a nerve did I well maybe don’t make it so obvious who you work for numb nuts
  9. Never tasted mud before but if its like this coffee i got,its not too bad, bit weird but drinkable
  10. Just seen these in the shop. I shit you not, the label confirms it’s “official Zak Vyner merchandise” As opposed to all those knock off Zak Vyner T-Shirts the looky looky men in Benidorm sell, obvs.
  11. 2 in, 2 out as we again name the full complement of 9 subs. James and Williams return, TGH and Meerholz make way. Meerholz likely just making way for more experienced players, TGH may well have a knock. Really tough game today, hoping cool heads prevail if it doesn’t go our way! Injured: Atkinson Naismith TGH Benarous Bell
  12. One of the few good things about this club in 2024 is Otib And that is rather sad when it would be nice to be able to point to real and exciting talent on the field, but we sell that talent asap.
  13. My guess would be England use that third spot for Trafford and give him experience of a senior major competition with eyes on him being number 1 in years to come, no expectation for him to play, like England did with Walcott and others when they’ve been young
  14. Used to work with Kenny for his brother in the 90s like Geoff Merrick he went in the building game
  15. Crackin' Up Over You...Roy Hamilton
  16. Went to Achari last night on Cotham Hill as stop one of the death of my 20s tour. Haven’t been since pre covid and remember it being lush, but really can’t recommend enough. Proper lush food if you like your Indian, BYOB (charge £1 if you have brought booze in), and real cheap. Was a group of 9 of us, and 18 poppadoms, a main & naan each, shared rice, and £1 drink fee all came to just £16 each incl service charge!!
  17. Yes only cash, but you can buy via otibclothing.co.uk
  18. Peter Spiring signed to Liverpool as a young prospect from AG with bags of pace and a good goal scoring ability from the wing. Shortly after he signed, he snapped his Achilles Tendon which put him out for the majority of the season. He fully recovered, but (especially back in the day with worse rehab and medial knowledge) he lost a bit of that pace, which was one of his main strengths. He settled his career at Hereford, for the first time since his early years at City. I found this thread since the passing yesterday of Larry Lloyd, who was a close friend of Spiring (Bristol boys who moved to Liverpool at the same time). Lloyd was the godfather to Spiring’s son who was present at the christening during Spiring’s spell at Luton. Spiring has fond memories of his short Anfield stint, but it was his Achilles that put him out of favour. Larry Lloyd had a brilliant career at Forest before ending up as player-manager at Wigan, where he faced Spiring’s Hereford in a 1-1 draw in 81/82. At the end of the season Lloyd attempted to sign Spiring to the promoted Wigan, however Hereford manager, Frank Lord stopped the move because of his importance. Spiring retired aged 33 at Hereford United and became a leccy. To hear some of you spotted his van in the early 00s is amazing. 2008 he moved to Cornwall with his wife, June Spiring. His daughter’s family also moved to Cornwall alongside them. He worked as the Premises Manager at Truro College for about 8 years before retiring. Despite a small cardiac arrest and few joint replacements, he is well and good. I can verify all this, because I am his grandson! I occasionally play golf with him at our favourite par 3 course, Holywell Bay. Golf has always been his second sport and he taught me to play since I was young. I’m 25 now and I still can’t bloody beat him… This thread was great for me to read, to see my granddad’s career remembered in shards from footie fans.
  19. Spot on. I couldn’t care less about his man management skills and whether Trundle liked him or not. Trundle had his moments and the Palace game will live long in the memory but he wasn’t good enough for the Championship and couldn’t really consistently perform against better defenders that jumped on him and didn’t allow him time and space so L1 was his stage and he was brilliant at it. GJ got us to the closet we’ve been to the Premier league since I started watching us 27 years ago We should have done better in the transfer window and put the foot down and I think we’d have gone up automatically. We didn’t and a play off final was a good return for a team just promoted. Ipswich have had an almost identical season so far to us. Of course second place is the first loser but at least we got somewhere close to success. So if some of the players didn’t like him then it’s no different to any manager in any organisation, some love and some hate. Same with players not being liked or having the wrong attitude which Nige was so good at rooting out. I would imagine some of the players he got rid of don’t speak highly of him, that’s life. I think with the right signings Nige would have at least equaled play offs (I think promoted) that within 1-2 seasons and it’s why I’m so frustrated where we are now as a club. Games like Palace seem a loooooooong way away right now so GJ for me did a great job.
  20. Should have 2 adult tickets available message me
  21. Yesterday
  22. ‘Steve Lansdown, You should have pulled out’
  23. Do you like it because it makes you think of Gary and Lee Johnson?
  24. Larry also picked up a medal when losing the 1971 Cup Final to Arsenal. I think he might just be the most medalled Bristolian footballer. Those European medals are going to take some beating by any future Bristol kiddies playing the game
  25. Who else is rumoured to be leaving? I've not been keeping up to date with the Bears lately.
