One Team

Absolutely this! Doesn’t matter about the size or facilities this is the most important thing. Some of the new grounds have great facilities but they are miles from anywhere and have no community feel or soul.

Great to have Pompey back in the Championship with us, proper football clubs and fans. Great to see some of the Cotts lads getting promoted again!

Much better pre match, don’t get the after match idea at all, lots of people have to get back for various commitments or travel arrangements.

What a night that was! Agreed, best season of my City supporting life without question. To see us get promoted, win the title and get the JPT was just incredible. I believe I am correct in saying Cotts is the only manager in our history to win two trophies in a season too. A decent social media post by the club on it TBF, including the great man who so often seems airbrushed from Lansdown’s Bristol City.

Agreed. We’d regressed to the pre international break shite we’ve come to hate from Manning. I thought he’d moved on from that the last few games, but it was back and the crowd didn’t like it. Credit where it’s due though he changed it second half and it was much better.

You keep posting balanced sensible points Graham. Likewise I didn’t want Nige sacked and don’t think Manning is all that either. For me though he’s never been the key issue at our club, but I’ve seen enough in the last (prior to today at least) few games to think that we need to see how his assured reign will pan out without fighting each other every week.

When I read the post title I thought “WTF?!”, you hooked me in you tinker! Everyone around us was saying the same. She was superb, one of the best referees we’ve had this season IMHO.

The first half was as bad as it’s ever been under Manning, a full on return to the pre-International break cat shit football we’ve endured. Second half was improved and I thought we were worthy of a late goal to get the draw. The whole game was lack lustre but fair play to the lads for keeping the unbeaten run going.

Vyner injured?

Brilliant post Silvio, exactly my perspective on things this morning. And to one of your points, yes, his position was being questioned. That will have moved on now of course and it will be interesting to see how the rest of the season pans out. One thing is for sure, it’s been a good post international break run and nice to see a change in the style of play.

I’d be fuming if I was a Blackburn fan, they gave up after the first goal, and some of the individual errors were woeful.

Blackburn were truly shocking, one of, if not the worst we’ve seen all season and gifted all five goals. You can only beat what’s in front of you and our early pressure upset them. Clearly a good result though, well done lads!

Nice to hear from Leroy but saying it’s a nice positive start after 40 seconds is a bit much!

I've heard this as well Pete, 1 or 2 signings. There is still this belief we should be challenging in the play offs with what we have.

I think there is a difference between watching a teams games and appreciating the football to proclaiming your support for them/buying their shirts etc.

Some interesting debates on the thread! TBH I don’t get the Premier League team thing. I like watching the football for what it is, for example last night hence my OP; but supporting a successful Premier League club you have no real association with doesn’t make sense to me. I know people who support Premier League teams who have never seen them live, I’d imagine many of you are similar. Appreciate others see it all differently mind you. One of the most frustrating things you get asked when proclaiming your support for City is “yeah but who is your Prem team?”! Having a local team you support I do get especially if it’s where you live or where you are from. Some might say surely that’s the same thing, it’s a second team, but I think it’s different if it’s where you actually live or perhaps where you grew up.

Ice cool that lad! What a game at Stamford Bridge! Anyone else watch that tonight? Superb stuff!

So true Graham. I’ve said a few times on here, that play off final is the slidiest of sliding doors moments in our history. Forget Luton, Coventry and anyone else he’s mentioned, it’s Brighton who we should really try to emulate; but couldn’t be further from it.

Absolutely pissed myself when this came out, still funny now! The “naaahsty maaaan” bit and the little laugh at the end get me every time!

Based on win percentage that’s easy; Curtis Fleming!

You’d like to think this was just an accident then and its ends here. I do know Adi Dassler was a Nazi party member though, pretty sure all the Dasslers were actually and I think stood trial at the end of the war.

Good win that, but more importantly a reasonable performance on the back of the Leicester game. Always good to win away and a clean sheet too. Well done lads! Doesn't change anything for me, but as per Friday, credit where its due.

FBC episode title right there!

Scrappy as hell, but matters not! Great to get ahead! The City fans chanting "We're Bristol City, we'll sit where we want" suggest we're in the home end!

Odd to make 3 subs when we finished the half on top. Must be knocks I guess. Nice start to the second half though.
