Is Sykes injured? I guess he must be. Because in what world does the worst player in our squad get picked ahead of the best?

Mehmeti is awful. There I did it. If he doesn’t perform now, he never will.

In fairness Lee Johnson was given about a billion pounds. And that’s my biggest fear here…

I suppose I’d suggest they’re two different arguments. Mine being that it’s not really his fault that he’s been put in charge. I’m not saying he’s not a crap coach, just that he shouldn’t be here.

In my 35 years of supporting City never have I seen a manager set up to fail quite so badly by the top brass. I said it at the time of his appointment that he’d been dealt a poisoned chalice and it’s playing out exactly as I hoped it wouldn’t. So let’s try to remember that none of this is Manning’s fault. He took a lucrative job that none of would have turned down and none of us can blame him for taking. I’m sure he and his team are trying their very best. Fortunately I lost my mojo for Bristol City when Nige was sacked. I saw it before with Cotterill and history has repeated itself. I say fortunately because I find myself really not caring too much about our games, how we’re performing etc. I find it sad I feel like this, but it helps eliminate the problem of the City result ruining your weekend - which I suspect is how many of you feel right now. But I suppose my main point is try not to get on Manning’s back. It’s not his fault. I’m grateful for the investment the Lansdowns have made, our new stadium is brilliant and we’re in a really good place off the pitch. But I think we’ve definitely run our course now, and with my very best wishes it’s time they sold up and left. And if they wouldn’t mind taking their mate Bri with them at the same time, that’d be ideal. They’re getting the comeuppance they deserve in spades. Completely out of their depth. I suppose you could sum up my feelings on them the same way they dealt with Nige. You feel the need to gamble on something new, yeh, it could well be worse, but it’s probably worth the gamble.

Like talking to the wife!

Get ******.

I’m stuck at a kids party. I’m guessing it’s the standard sort of display, but can someone entertain me by telling me how Mehmeti is playing?

Which of the 108 minutes he played did you think he looked poor in?

Oh Christ. Another one I’d banished.

108 total minutes in the league.

Deserved that.

I had forgotten about MW!

Good job we never gave him a chance. Not a single ******* chance. Pretty sure he’d be our best player now. Oh well… I guess, like Ayling, he can’t have been doing it in training.

The Lansdowns are incapable of admitting they’ve made a mistake, so never gonna happen. They’ll just try and buy themselves out of it. Again.

I disagree. I think he’ll be a fine player.

I’ve got a positive; JET has signed for Kidderminster Harriers. I live near Kidderminster.

I’ve got the Sheffield Wednesday commentary team. I pity anyone who has the same.

We are dick

Perfect.

Edited for accuracy.

Manning is a likeable guy? Now I’m not going to disagree per se, but he’s pretty low down the list of guys I’d consider likeable. Nige was a likeable guy, Manning? I’m not so convinced… too robotic.

Definite foul In the build up there.

Worth mentioning that when we win, things are all excellent and we’re on a playoff push. When we don’t win, we’re stagnating mid table and the season’s over. The truth is probably somewhere in between. But no one wants sensible. We’re ******* going up!

Is there anything that attracts drugs and violence like football does? Theres an incredible amount of coke at football matches - and I know that as a supporter rather than a copper. And the people most up for a fight? Coked (and beefed) up footy fans. I don’t believe I said that at all, I’m merely saying having a dog walk around your feet is not in any way violating your right to privacy. I just can’t understand how you could think that.
