  1. How most fans view how ffp operates and penalties are worked out..... How clubs of clubs that fall foul of ffp ( and especially Everton's) view how it operates....
  2. "10 points was clearly excessive, vindictive, inconsistent". Try telling that to the clubs that were relegated but kept their financial house in order by complying with the same set of financial rules that Everton knowingly breached. I remain convinced that Everton chose to breach P&S to give them the best chance of avoiding relegation because the knock on of dropping into the championship with the debt on their new stadium would probably have bankrupted the club. Now it's all about how hard done by they are, poor supporters, everyone's out to get them. Everton fans and board.... The only glimmer of hope I can see in the Everton situation is that the PL have reduced this penalty in the knowledge that there's another hit coming right down the line! Fingers crossed!
  3. They had that with grey kit. They wore grey at Southampton and were getting battered in the first half and IIRC they came out in different kit for the second half. Post match Fergie said that players Found it difficult to pick out teammates because of the colour.
  4. Listened to Talksport briefly today and they were discussing that Torquay have gone into administration. The journalist they had on was talking about their owner, and he ( the journalist) commented that what fans want from an owner is that they leave the club in a better situation than it was when they took it on. Given all the negativity surrounding SL and recent events, allied to many fans apparently wanting SL to sell the club and make way for a new owner it got me thinking. If SL sold up tomorrow do you think that he would be leaving the club in a better situation than when he became the owner?
  5. Negativity and pessimism. We're Bristolians, they are in our DNA!
  6. I don't know, but rumours are that Manning is playing him up front alongside Wells at Wednesday!
  7. Much as we saw with Derby's situation, fans of clubs affected by sanctions for ffp/p&s breaches seem to think that they have a case based solely on "being hard done by", "it's not fair", "the impact on the club - relegation, risk of admin or worse" and of course " whataboutery". What those fans fail to understand is that had their clubs not broken the financial rules ( cheating - as it enabled them to gain an unfair advantage over other clubs in their division who did adhere to the rules), then it could well have resulted in the very same outcomes they argue that could/will result from ffp/p&s sanctions -certainly true in the case of Everton!
  8. A magnificent cricketer and a match winner Sadly denied a test career, so who knows where he'd rank among all time greats, but he'd be up there.
  9. We might possibly have a top 6 squad, but we don't seem to have a top 6 mentality.
  10. As he's signed for us he's more likely to have Daniels' "stature" and Bolt's ability to pull a rabbits out of the hat!
  11. Nothing about how we've played has been a surprise either!
  12. Given the 70s reminiscences on here it's probably Watneys Ref Barrel? If so I doubt you'd want a pint of it!
  13. The more so as QPR now have no real incentive to go forward. Reminds of Brum at home when we started to hit long balls in desperation and got caught on the break again.
  14. Teams will know that we struggle against teams that sit back, so do to us what we like to do
  15. Wednesday 2 up so that game looking more difficult than it did Tuesday night!
  16. Anyone else worried by the levels of positivity on here today? This is Bristol City remember!
  17. 6 from 6 against 'Boro and Saints was the bonus. Maximising points from games against the likes of QPR and Wednesday is where we've blown it too often in the past and make the difference between mid-table and genuinely challenging for a top 6 spot.
  18. IIRC After the Swansea game, didn't someone post that photo with Coldplay's "Fix You" as backing music?
  19. Jukebox Jury? Blimey, that's one heck of a first job after leaving school, although £3 3s & 6d seems a miserly salary!
  20. They all ordered Macdonalds to be delivered for lunch?
