I bet the gas fans are enjoying their December calendar

Tis the season to be Jolly

Wouldn't that be marvellous? Let all the Sags in in their cars and then when they are ready for Love Actually the gates get locked and on comes City v Man Utd. There would be the usual Ted shouts followed by lots of horn beeping, then fans would try to drive out. It will end up like a demolition derby at the Minimal.

What makes this forum so fantastic is that people had predicted this exact situation with WAQ and the dog botherer. They worked out wael was a fraud, and that the UWE wasn't going to happen. I love watching their slow, helpless plight.

Sometimes, being able to react with only one laughing emoji just isn’t enough..!

To me, that came across as a right 'pop' at WAQ TBH. It seemed to be a 'I can't make a silk purse out of a cows ear' to me. I would imagine WAQ won't like it at all. The thing that grinds my gears is the 'how successful they've been for 3 years' crap! No, if you hadn't been utter shite beforehand, you wouldn't have dropped out of the league and all you've done is bring a lower league 1 / league 2 club back to their supposed proper position. Hardly successful, more righting the abject crap that went on beforehand. They blatantly have problems, big problems and it all comes down to financial backing, or in their case the total lack of it. 'See you in Waitrose? More likely sat outside rattling a tin. Hey ho, up the City!

“I suppose I’ve created an atmosphere where I’m a friend first and a boss second. Probably an entertainer third.” “When people say to me: would you rather be thought of as a funny man or a great boss? My answer’s always the same, to me, they’re not mutually exclusive.” “You will never work in a place like this again. It’s brilliant. Fact. And you’ll never have another boss like me, someone who’s basically a chilled-out entertainer.” “I actually like my staff to be better than me. That keeps me on my toes. So my motto would be ‘Be careful because there’s always somebody ready to step into your shoes and do your job better than you do it.'” “I can wake up one morning and go, ‘I don’t feel like working today. Can I stay in bed?’ ‘You’d better ask the boss.’ ‘David, can I stay in bed?’ ‘Yes, David.’ Both me. Not me in bed with another bloke called David.” “If you want the rainbow, you’ve got to put up with the rain. Do you know which ‘philosopher’ said that? Dolly Parton. And people say she’s just a pair of tits.” “You see all these white middle-class fuddy duddies going, ‘Oh, we’ve got to find the new equivalent’. They’re looking in Oxford and Cambridge. No. Dr Dre, yeah. Ice T. They’re the equivalent of Wordsworth.”

Just been sent this and didn’t know what to do with it, so I’ll leave it here.

This is simply fantastic. You could not of scripted the comedy gold any better. The gift continues unabated. A £10m striker for less than a Tilson adorning all the saggies walls throughout the season of good will, superb.

You should always give generously at Christmas time. Good to see the Gasheads keeping with tradition. Two Teds on the same page....Oh the irony!!! The gift keeps on giving again and again. It's a never ending rollercoaster ride at the moment and I bet the rollercoaster is "Oblivion"?!

Dark rings under his eyes, unshaven. Looks like he was up most of the night, snorting cocaine off of a labrador’s Lipstick..!

After watching that cringeworthy interview ITV announce a new spin off to be hosted by the Chuckle brothers. 'I've been ****** over by a fake Sheik bullshitter get me out of here'. Of course it will be have to be a very cut price version and will not be in the Australian rain forest, but at the gas's own leper colony at Almondsbury.

.... but it's not that long ago that the family bought him a cowboy outfit for Christmas.

I got the sack from a calendar factory once. All I did was take a day off.

The gift!

Just surmising, based on his interview. He’s not even being discreet about it. For me it’s a clear case of sucking up to the fans to keep them on his side, whilst challenging Wally to sack him, which he can’t afford to do!

Picture the scene this morning as excited younger Gappers opened their advents calendars and then turned over their BRFC calendar singing festive songs to themselves.. "On the first day of Christmas my blue love sent to me .. 2 dirty 'Teds..."

So when the latest tramp or has been parades himself in front of the white plastic chairs in that quirky blue and white bin liner just remember that he is Dopey's third choice scraping of the barrel.

Next up in the Stadium of sh!te; Home to Rotherham (the game they moved to avoid clashing with our!) Guess what, we are at home too, Doh! In the Rotherham squad (but probably on the bench, and so receiving even more abuse) ex City keeper Richard O'Donnell, or ROD as he was known in these parts. This is their game in hand so they can't drop into the bottom 4, at least for another week! C'mon you Millers

He seems drunk, really think he’s on his last legs but saying that I’m in a job I don’t enjoy anymore, as he said he’s still there cuz of the supporters, I’m still at work cuz of my customers, till I find something better to come along I’m still in a job I despise, I don’t feel bad for him just cuz it’s Dopey

I've said this before. Always cuts off the bloke, normally by saying "Yeah, No"..!! WTF is that about?

That's what he's basically saying. He also knows that in the mind of your average Sag he can get away with murder as long as he tells them what amazing supporters he thinks they are. They lap it up of course. Meanwhile this kind of public 'back me or sack me' move puts more pressure on the owners and deflects the blame from him and the playing side shifting it towards the boardroom. Maybe he does feel let down, if I was the Al Qadis I'd be furious if he was suggesting it on the radio. Hilarious.

Once a squatter...

Despite admitting he will be trying to offload some players in January, Clarke could not fault his squad for their attitude following another defeat last time out. "The lads are fantastic," he beamed. "They're a great group to work for. I can't fault them for it, even the Blackburn management team came into the office and said "We've watched the match back on video and your lads gave absolutely everything but don't you think it's about time you headed back home? I mean we've hung around and watched the entire 'kin game, not just the highlights, yet you're still here. We're waiting to lock up the ground ffs."

There’s an article in the local paper in Cornwall today with the chairman of Argyle talking about their ground improvements. They are looking to replace the old grandstand and it’s going to planning soon. His comments on ground capacity were quite revealing & refreshing compared to our friends north of the river. He said that there was absolutely no point in looking to improve on the 18k they would have unless they were in the Premier League, which is not something they consider even possible at the current time or are even looking towards in the immediate future. He then went on to say that if they ever did get to the Premier League, which is very unlikely, they MAY look to increase to 21k if necessary, but it would need a sustained period in the Premier League for them to ever consider more than that. He seems far more down to earth & realistic than the Gas. I think Dodgy Darrel could do worse than end up there.

At a job interview last week I was asked "Well, Jacko.......where do you see yourself in three years time?". All I could tell them was "Dunno, Mate...... I don't have 2020 vision......". I love you all.

When you wish upon a star Your dreams come true I never believed in fantasy, but if that shower of shit go under, I will be a convert!

I knew your days were numbered....

The horrible Ives of BS7

Plus, they can't sack him for speaking out as the fans love him. He's playing them as much as the board are playing the fans. All good stuff! UP THE CITY!!

Yep as others have said it really is like "I'm fed up, I hate everyone above me and I'm saying whatever I like because you lot can't actually afford the money to fire me!"

I think you will find he was using net spend, which kind of makes sense considering they sold their star player to us for £10M or there abouts. oh wait...

Substitute relegate for go into liquidation. Now that sounds a whole lot better!

This thread is on form this morning. If I were someone who advocated that “laugh out loud” phrase, I’d tell you that I’ve done it on at least four occasions just now. Well done all. And well done Darrell.

60p...?

He missed out Oxfam and Gumtree

I`ve just had a thought how they could make a few quid. If they`re putting up big screens for their drive-in thing why don`t they show our game v Manchester on them? Thousands of their morons would turn up and pay handsomely on the off chance of seeing us get turned over. We would need to have someone from our side filming the crowd though as we would not want to miss their reaction when we win!

Think almost all of their forum have now realised when their manager is saying "I'm only staying for the fans", that they've got a bottom 6 budget for salaries and that nothing is happening, there's serious problems. Almost like he's begging to be fired: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42184357 Altho some on that forum still saying: * "Should be discussed in private" (not realising if Hani is barely talking to Wael and Hamer there's no way he's taking to Clarke so this is his only way to get his attention) * "Living within our means is good" (you're losing 2m a year) * They've built the club up behind the scenes (yes to make it more attractive to sell, and all financed by the equity in the Mem) Even with reality kicking them in the face delivered by their very own messiah, some are still deluded...

"oh yes and the police are waiting outside so perhaps before you load the kit basket on to your coach you can give us all of our silverware, cutlery, toilet paper, soap, tea cups, corner flags, training cones, footballs, hi vis jackets and the groundsman's dog back please".

Corrected

Very true - the children all have their tetanus boosters now from last year's Grotto experience so no reason it shouldn't be absolutely crammed this year!

Haha, the shrug

He’s body language is shocking, wtf I can’t unsee

Darrell Clarke as David Brent the above is a link to Dopey’s latest interview. During said interview he talks about the three lists he’s prepared. You can see this if you skip to the 4m50s point. He says “I’ve got 3 lists; Waitrose, Aldi & Poundland.” He then seemingly turns to the camera and makes a David Brent style face. And I love it.

Is there a poundland on Oxford St then?

No Sainsburys list then? Funny that.

They have created a web site already .... http://stadiumforbath.com/

I think the Sags have worked out why the owners bought them: barbarycoaster Youth Team Nov 26, 2017 at 10:24am Quote Why did the Al Qadis REALLY buy Rovers? Is there oil under the Mem? Can they afford to drill for it?

Pitch !!! Naaa @Eddie Hitler a pitch is a place for tents or market stalls to go on, you obviously mean the playing surface/ swamp/turnip patch would be circular.
