Over here in Canada land I have met two fellas from Northern Ireland and one from Glasgow who all asked me if I was City or Rovers. I just tutted, held my hands up and said 'really, you have to ask that. OTIB, OTIB...' Perhaps because they were all in their 60s they still thought there was some kind of relevant rivalry, or genuinely didn't want to offend?!

Bannanas. That's what they'd be if they believed it after the promise of being the 6th richest club in England.

It’s all change North of the river now. The fake sheikh has bought out his family & started work on that travellers site in South Gloucestershire. According to their friends at the Post the new bloke in charge (I can’t remember his name, but the one who has won about 2 games in the last 20) is putting together an “exciting” squad & they are in a “stronger position than many because of Covid” apparently. No, I couldn’t follow the logic, either. It read like the sort of thing you get in North Korea.

Yet they consider our signing of Taylor as purely an attempt to screw them over. Taylor did okay for us, he was only ever going to be a bit-part player, one of those busy players who would chase everything in the last 20 minutes. They claim he wasn't given a chance, but the reality is he wasn't quite good enough for 90 minutes against a solid Championship back 4, but could put in a solid 20 or 30 minutes against a tiring back 4 in the latter stages of a game. Whilst he has had injury problems, it seems to be a similar tale for one of their other big money movers, Bodin who hasn't ripped the Championship a new one (not sure that lad who went to Ipswich had much time to do anything before injury - Harrison wasn't it?) They have spent way too long outside the Championship to have any idea just how much the standard and quality has improved. And I would guess that should we ever reach the Prem, the standard and quality there will surprise us. That striker they have who was scoring last season hasn't attracted much interest for a reason.

We’ve played them competitively 3 times in 18 years! I’m nearly 39 and grew up despising them because we were playing them regularly. Most people 30 and under just don’t have the same hatred towards them that those of us who are that bit older do!

Are you suggesting that City should’ve gone for him instead?

Warmley is very much city. Never see a rovers shirt around here. Always see kids playing with city shirts on.
