As ever, a wonderful preview @Jerseybean, but isn’t the photo of Tinnion reflecting on the horrendous 7-1 defeat away to Swansea almost 20 years ago?
Almost word for word what I was about to write, it certainly is.

He's come under some stick in recent weeks, but that's the best performance I've seen from us since the Lee Johnson days. Brilliant from Manning and co.
Played a game plan to perfection, kept our shape and discipline brilliantly, counter attacked with pace and took our chances superbly.
Southampton hadn't lost since September and we took them apart, what a performance. Superb from all involved.
Want to agree, but I guess you missed 2014/15, that was exhilarating

Couldn't agree more, came here to post a Hayden thread myself. Absolutely outstanding tonight in defence and attack. The Bristol City left back charm continues, imagine having him and Pring competing.

This'll be perfect and it's free

Well that was weird, not sure I've ever watched a game before where both teams have swapped kits at half time

When LM talks about "not getting to high and not getting too low" he is talking (in plain English terms) about trying maintain an optimal level of arousal.
So he's not saying players should be emotionless as thisnresukts in 'under-arousal' and a widening of attention or attending to thingd that are outside the field of focus. Manning (being a very intelligent coach) clearly understands this. Equally he means players should not be 'over-aroused' as this is equally dangerous to performance levels and can result in a narrowing of attention or attending to the wrong things.
Not sure we've consistently found the magic sweet spot yet under LM mind but there have been signs of it.
First time I've heard "arousal" in a football context since LJ

Slightly odd the apparent obsession with our away stats from a supposed Coventry fan. This is not something we remotely have a complex about (unlike the blue few), we are well aware that we don't travel in great numbers these days to anything other than marquee occasions, largely because we've been floating in mid table in this division for several millennia now and there's nothing new to see.

Does a mean cover of Ziggy Stardust as well.
Certainly wasn't expecting a Bauhaus reference on here, but you're quite right. Bowie is supposed to have said it was better than the original.

Your American equivalent says "that's what she said'"
Which apparently is the modern and much less expressive version of "as the actress said to the bishop". Everything is getting shitter and less meaningful now, we were the lucky last ones. My work colleagues call me boomer, little do they know (about basically everything, but particularly about how less in depth and valid their world view is, a worrying retrograde)

I think it was that he's fighting the Mexican Luis Nery next. Nery is a hate figure in Japanese boxing, so they're all desperate for Inoue to batter him!
He pissed hot when absolutely nuking Shinsuke Yamanaka in Tokyo, then came in massively overweight when ordered to rematch him. Yamananka is a hero over there and they're furious with Nery's cheating and disrespect.
It'll have to be in the States though, Nery is banned from fighting in Japan forever!

Ok, thanks Stortz, interesting history, I'll keep an eye on that from now.

God, you really are boring.
Why you on here?
Got no mates?
I wonder why?
Because him and the other two fans don't get on

Unable to assist regrettably as I didn't see or listen to the game. A points a point though I suppose.
I'll have a go:
Birmingham City 0-0 Bristol City
Condensed version
Unbeaten run continues

Pring's double tackle and Bell's nutmeg the highlights. The only ones, too.

@Jerseybeanif I hadn't seen that you started this thread yesterday I wouldn't have realised that we were playing today, so just wanted to thank you for your clockwork precision there.

Only just caught up on this and watched the highlights, Inoue is a great fighter . Anyone know what the big announcement he was talking about is?
-
As you mentioned @spudski it amused me how he immediately pulled himself up on it with a wry smile. He's obviously heard the criticism of this particular phrase, but isn't suddenly going to stop using it as it's clearly something he believes in.

Watford comms said Pring was the best player on the pitch. I can't disagree, but so were Mehmeti, Williams, Dickie, Knight...

I heard it different and as “they don’t ******* bounce when we’re losing”. Happy if it’s your perception though!

I don't like horror films so I'm not entirely sure why I'll be watching this.
