The fact that Westlife's 3 top selling singles were all cover versions says it all.........they were pretty boys loved by pre pubescents and housewives.....But they did have their own chocolate bar!

Yep...just how much people with no taste are like sheep? Are you 12?

Slipknot....Rammstein....Ha!

OH............Jesus on a pheckin skateboard! Westlife? Are you serious? I know music comes down to personal taste...............and you obviously have none?..........But Westlife??

Having just got round to watching highlights of the Bournemouth v Fulham game over Xmas.....it reminded me of the enormous gap Scotty and Semenyo's departure has left. They were both outstanding, and were/are. both game changers in their own right ......we just no longer have that type of player in the side, and in games like today's bore fest against Millwall, theyr'e is just no one capable of producing anything different when it is needed? We are desperate for some guile and pace in midfield, and the travesty of bringing in Cornick, after someone like Semenyo has left, is a sad joke? I do think the amount of games over Xmas are too many, and it lowers the quality, with players on both sides knackered...Ha!! Not that is an excuse for that dire performance. Let's just hope that LM manages to bring in the extra quality during the window, but i am not holding my breath. And, like you, I think the Watford game will be an interesting test of Manning's tactical nous? Watching B'mouth, made me realise just how much, along with everybody else, that our side really miss Scott and Semenyo's abilities, ..... and it might well be a long time coming till we see that level of class in our team again ?

Let's assess LM's progress by the end of March? If he hasn't made a significant difference by then.....I will haunt myself..Ha! Happy New Year.

There is no doubt in my mind that he is quality......but he is young, being played in the wrong role and gets no service. In the the correct tactical set up he would thrive, I am very Disappointed in LM for persisting with the lone striker formation? There is nothing wrong with the tactics, it is just that Tommy is just not suited to it? I do appreciate that LM has little choice, to an extent, so it is now up to him to find a solution during the window, and show us just how tactically aware he is? We have failed to score against Rooney's (GONE!) Birmingham and a very average Millwall side.............Tommy should NOT , and i am certain will NOT be sold, but it is now up to our new manager to create a team that plays to TC's strengths.

The only bit of passion shown in the entire match? It's obvious that Williams New year resolution was to try and make new friends?

The only thing i would point out is..............NP had 32 months, and quite a few transfer windows, LM has had just under 2 months, and NO transfer windows. So a comparison at present is fatuous? Make like a Jedi....and show a little patience?

It might seem like an easy excuse...........but with a small squad....3 games in 6 days is inevitably going to lower performances? As much as i love watching football, that amount of physical effort seriously lowers quality, and produces some dire matches? Too many games, in too short a period, often fails to give out a lot of entertainment?

Maybe i should have qualified my opinion, by stating that they are young players who are NEW to the Premiership? As the players you have referred to, have all played significantly more games at that level, and are all relatively established at their respective clubs? Saka especially, who is an outstanding talent.

1 step forwards followed by 2 steps backwards..........we are what we are..........an inconsistent mid table Championship side? I don't believe we will see any significant progress until next season, and that is ONLY if LM is given a realistic transfer budget? It is so frustrating when you see so many of our ex-players flourishing at other clubs......and then witness just how impotent our present team look at times? It continues to be the case, that we languish in a football world where over two games, we take 1 point from Birmingham and Millwall without even scoring a goal? Where there is life there is hope?, apparently............but what a very depressing outcome, after the promise of Watford away? A New Year.....but a same old Bristol City? PS. I do also fully appreciate that with the limited resources at our disposal, and the inevitable tiredness after a run of 3 games in 6 days.........it is a frustrating but almost understandable outcome??...........I am just pissed off, i guess, just like the majority at today's game!! Happy New Year!

Yep..........I lie awake at night worrying about the poor souls................Ha!

It's called "TAKING THE PISS" It is a disgrace the way football club's exploit every last revenue stream, as they know fans love their club...............so they make sure they take maximum advantage of that, by screwing them for every penny? It will only get worse!! Yourparkingspace.co.uk and justpark.com are not perfect, but at least it is not the fat cats coining it in, but individuals prepared to rent out their driveway for a few hours? PS There are probably a few more than those 2, but they are the ones i have used in the past successfully...............?

At 20 and 21, IMHO Cole Palmer and Scotty are the two best young English Players in the Prem at this time? PS. I see little Lee's reputation as a coach/manager continue's to plummet, as he was unable to even hold down a job in League 1?

Hope u brought him down to earth............by explaining that he will be middle aged before he witness's another 4 goals away from home? Ha!!

He can talk in Sanskrit and howl at the moon..............if he continues to produce results like today? Merry Xmas to all at OTIB

Well done BS3...............i am very jealous..........wish i could have been there? What a Xmas present?

Happy Xmas Dave...........long may u continue to be the voice of reason on OTIB.

+3 goal difference? Am i dreaming?...............Oh Hi there Santa?

I loved NP, he is, and will remain a legend at our club. But the time was ripe to bring in a new young forward thinking coach IMHO......and it would appear that cometh the hour..........cometh the man? I am very impressed with LM, and i believe that if we support him, and let him build our club................that the sky is the limit? I am not being, or attempting to be smug? But come on down you doubters, and admit that at last.........the Lansdowns have made the correct appointment.................at frigging last!!!!!

Thanks for the support................great contribution?

Getting back to back wins for the first time in 10 months is an achievement that should be acknowledged, and this against two top 6 opponents? This was performed without any new players, and 5 still out injured? I was a major supporter of Pearson, but for me the King is dead.........long live the King. Liam Manning is now hopefully the future of our club, and I will support him, and keep looking forward....and not back. The Lansdowns have made numerous mistakes in the past.........but for me, their latest appointment is at last, and not before time?...... the correct one.

I guess the Lansdowns are trying to punch above their weight.........hope it doesn't come back to bite them?

You mean like the Barcelona FC Basketball, Volleyball, Rugby, Ice Hockey, Wheelchair Basketball and Futsal teams? Apologies for being a smartarse! Happy Xmas.
