What amazes me is the part time understanding the players have of each other. For me JET didn't even bother turning up, El-Abd was all over the place leaving the opposition unmarked and hoofing the ball about as much as Fontaine. In fact we left the whole of their team completely unmarked with about 3 shots on target all game.

Lots of passion for the club but as pointed out on here not good enough skill, I don't think he will.

I hope so, as the forum suggests. OTIB!

He does look like a guy who's done time doesn't he

Seems like a hard ***, i can just see some tasty challenges now until then.

three-and-a-half year contract at 29 years of age? things are going to get messy!

I used to play/train with Weston U18's at college, i'm going through the 1st4sport Level 1 Award in Coaching Football (QCF).

Football coaching under 9's and football manager

It depends how the 4-3-3 is played as three strikers can be played if the 4-3-3 is aimed at passing through the middle, the strikers would have to link up with each other and obviously be fairly close in position to do that. The other option could be finding a forward like JET who can naturally play on the wing and cross the ball into the box and play an out wide 4-3-3, how many strikers have you seen can cross the ball and are pretty pacey. Joe Bryan and Wes Burns are the closest thing we have to developing wingers, although under SOD we did play JET on the wing and with a 4-3-3 if i remember. The ball ended up mostly in our own half and the defence cost us, 4-3-3 is a difficult position to defend if you give the ball away.

I remember Cotterill saying at the fans Parliament meeting when he was at QPR he went over to france to see how they played. He spoke to the manager of Montpelier HSC who virtually played 4-3-3 all season and didn't use wingers. That might be an idea Cotterill is toying with, then you would need more strikers.

He's a physical presence up front, and can score goals. 28 or even 29 years of age is fine for any striker on a 2 year contract, look how old Stead is even now.

First things first, shake hands and make up with Cunningham, "I'm so sorry, the gaffer told me to get stuck in in the second half".

I went to see Fulham V West Ham (as i was in Reading for new years anyway) and all i can say is what a match! i was shouting more at the players more than i do at City the fans thought i was a regular great ground and great fans i mixed with as well.

"So then, what do you think of Nelson Mandela?" "He was some guy that got black south african's rights weren't he? innit...."

Agreed there are a lot of gangs, just stay on the tour route and you can't go wrong. A girl i used to work with got held at gunpoint in Peru for money just by going 5 minutes off course. She was lucky that was all they wanted.

Considering it hasn't quite got as bad as Zimbabwe, and the fact it is safe to go on holiday. I think it's better than back when Mandela was trying to change this don't you?

Highly disrespectful if we didn't applaud on tv

He almost tried to wage war against white South African's, some regarding him as a terrorist for encouraging rallies that caused violence. It was all for a very very valid purpose was it not?

If you were a black South African at the time of apartheid, and you were treated like utter s..., weren't allowed to vote, own property or get a decent education because of your race what would you do? If you had to resort to violence to lead a normal life because nothing else would work would you? They did what they did because they wanted something better that would not come any other way for them, they fought for, and got change.

A strong influence in the combat against racism, ended apartheid and gave many a fair chance to live as they deserved. RIP

I know, that's why my first choice is Warnock i could understand if they were looking to take a trip to the dark side to see what could happen though.

If i could set his personal opinions of facism aside, i would have Di Canio. If we are looking to change the club then it needs to be focused, maybe an over discplined manager could be good for the club. Every business needs to have it!

Great post this, i agree with you there is already 2 Sainsburys local on Gloucester Road and a Morrisons local (agreed it's convienience but they still sell the essentials) and Stoke Gifford Sainsburys isn't exactly miles away. It is a real pity we've become the green and underdeveloped capital of the south. I hope George Ferguson chokes on his own words when he said he will build an arena in our city, i doubt it will happen in his time in office that's for certain!

I'll bet the G*s stadium will be put on hold till next year, and ours will start conveniently or before theirs begins. We have the green party to thank for the build race.

Should have gone to court and challenged this if so, judicial precedents would find you innocent in minutes if there was any lack of evidence.
