Let’s get Brum relegated and then we can put a bid in for Stansfield in the summer

We had the opportunity a few years back and blew it!

Sunderland, Leeds and Sheffield Wednesday in this.  We manage 6th.

Loftus Road!!!!  Who makes this up?  Marginally better that Kenilworth Road and full of prawn sandwich eaters.

Definitely recommend the orchard. Great selection of ciders, ale straight from the barrel and some nice lagers plus lovely pub grub. Good atmosphere too but get there early if you want a seat! 

Home made cheese and onion rolls. Proper pub. 

The, thy or thee?

When my son was being coached as an attacking midfielder a lot was said about ‘affecting the game’.  What I have seen in the home games he has played he has done too little to justify the perceived fee/wage tag.  Far too lightweight and disappears for too much of the game.  It’s a no from me.

PENALTY: Bristol Citypublished at 20:19

Mark Sykes goes down in the Blackburn box under a tackle from Dominic Hyam and the referee instantly points to the spot.

May 2007 one of my favourite games. Noble double gets us promoted v Rotherham

Really exiting player, started the game very well today. We done a very good job on him Friday 

Yes the key to Friday’s win for me; the job we did on both their dangerous wingers and Vyner’s marking of Dewsbury Hall

Juries out from my perspective.  I watched him against us for Hull and was not impressed (having thought when he was at Burnley I would have bitten your hand off to sign him).  Thought today he took up some good postitions and was positive in the way he looked forward.  Felt though he was too easily knocked off the ball.

Lots been said about Manning but today he got the tactics spot on. In particular it was clear he had asked Vyner to man mark Dewsbury Hall and it certainly nullified what is Leicester’s most influential player. 

Penalties 

Wales holding on 

Gordon having a decent debut. 

Some debate over the first yellow but the assault on Conway for the second was a straight red as far as I am concerned. 

Reading the Southampton thread several poster mention the condition of the pitch.  Smacks of looking for an excuse but does a hybrid pitch make that much difference to how the ball behaves?

Just a cameo appearance from him tonight but I can’t help think we have a diamond in the making. He seems to have a bit of everything. Happy to put his foot in (something we have missed in the squad), can play and gets his head up as could be seen with his assist tonight. I see a bright future. 

Night started on a positive .. Gas!

Cam Pring was not even a bit part player until Pearson got here. He was always on loan and really couldn’t do much more than sixty minutes. One of the first things Pearson said was Cam didn’t really feel part of our squad. 
 

The rest is history. Well it is for the non goldfish. 

Funny how we see things differently.  I thought for a long time Pring didn’t get a fair crack of the whip under Pearson.  He used him sporadically annd appeared to preferred to only play him when he had to despite Pring when he did play more than justified his selection.  Those around me all held the same view that it seemed Pring was a first choice but Pearson saw it differently.

Celebrating with a barbie?

Apologies I know it’s been covered but can’t find the details.  How to I give my season ticket to someone else?  I remember it required adding their Bristol Sport account to mine but the exact process escapes me.

Perhaps pin this info somewhere to stop pains like me from asking the same question?

Do grown adults actually find this “crayon” jibe funny? That said, some people actually find Mrs Browns Boys funny, so I suppose that answers my own question. 

Agreed. ‘Crayon’, ‘nest egg’, ‘top six’ is all getting too boring for words. 
can we just move on?
