Thanks Billy. Do you really believe that if we sold the whole squad it would recoup £40m in the current transfer market? If so rather think you’re in LaLa Land! And in what way has Pearson created this value? Our most marketable players - Massengo, Scott and Semenyo were already here and he’s not a hands on coach (but his own admission). BTW I really do understand the disaster we are stuck in. I saw it yesterday and have been watching for 50 years so have plenty of perspective (in addition to my “superficial understanding of football”)

I assume this is a joke (but I have been drinking)

Great night - my trip home was shorter (Rochdale). Wedding Present top of their game at the time - saw them half a dozen times in a couple of years - loved Brassneck!!!!

Bit harsh on Jevons - better goals to games ratio than any of Semenyo, Martin or Wells!

I agree 100% with this and whilst I haven’t read the thread I am sure everybody will agree. So why, as an experienced coach, did Pearson think playing James and Williams and dropping Massengo and playing Bell at RB was a good idea? My son and I were perplexed when we heard the line up as were others we spoke to. Genuine question.

Whose name?

Can I join you?

Some that names here. Would personally emphasise Mark Hollis and Nigel Blackwell. Rather less known than most names here is the late great Jackie Leven. If you’re yet to discover Jackie, you have a great treat ahead!

Depends on your criteria.

I’m struggling to post anything meaningful as so many others have articulated far better than I how the OTIB family feel but hope this will bump the thread so others can read your heartfelt post.

Junk Shop Clothes - The Auteurs.

Great Album.

Cum on feel the noise - Slade

So do I - played on it! Went completely over my head.

Don’t know if true but with Viv it would be no surprise! Still the best (cricketer) I’ve ever seen.

I think that you’re right but how do we end up with O’Dowda marking Mitrovic from a corner?

Love the optimism- keep it up.

Might want to reserve comment until F-T.

I’d-take 5-2 now.

From recollection we were interested in a Yugoslavian (as was). Much press coverage because he was continental but never signed.

Sebok was ok I thought!

We did - they were genuine contenders and brought a massive following.

Superb keeper - best in my lifetime.

Regularly 20,000+ in the 50s at Ashton Gate and Eastville.

Sadly very true. There’s lots of talk about inconsistency (either the team or individual) but actually inconsistency is just a symptom of not being good enough at the relevant level.
