He’s a stroller, and strollers only get away with it if they deliver the goods. He needs to pull his head out of his arse or be bombed out IMO.

Now George Graham was known as the stroller and he could play a bit.

All is well in the world BBC Bristol have just played the  Ronaldo scoring the winner oh ****** bless takes away any pain of our defeat.

He’s a bit like Palmer, can be creative, but needs players behind him for when he invariably loses the ball. Forget about him tackling back or doing a full on defensive shift. Tonight he was really poor, needs a dressing room bollocking.

Yeah hard to see in what sort of team he would thrive in.

Can only see him in a side that dominates a game and he has a role that doesn't involve any sort of defensive commitment.

As we know in the championship that role  doesn't exist.

Bakinson is still pretty young and we've seen when he's on form he's very good at this level.

Inconsistencies and poor runs of for are to be expected at times.

Sorry don't think he will ever get it. As for being very good at this level, well  it's a no for me.

I'm no fan of Man U, but I'm indebted to poet John Cooper-Clarke for bringing to my attention this anti-Liverpool chant, sung to the tune of a then-popular cartoon character:

 

Kop T**ts. The unbelievable. Kop Tw***.

We all know you sign on the dole

And you live in a f-ing shithole

Kop T****!

 

Never heard that before now iv got this vision of Brains giving Dibble shite.

Not us but thought this was worth a mention.

Everton fans in the early 70s.

To the Knock kneed Chicken chant.

We hate Bill Shankly and we hate St John

but most of all we hate big Ron

and we'll hang the Kopites one by one on the banks of the royal blue Mersey.

La la la la la la, we re the Everton Boot Boys.

Probably already on here but sang from the East End  in the 70s . Come and have a go if you think your hard enough.

And back in the day if we were playing shit week after week was the chant of What a load of rubbish, witch you don't seem to here today.

Absolutely ******* embarrassing. How on earth can you say you wouldn't be upset about one of the best managers we've had, be gone? Yet previous managers with far worse CV's have been given crazy amount of time to turn things around. 

We're finally playing decent football. I like the direction we're heading. The progress our youngsters are making is absolutely fantastic to watch. 

We were unlucky tonight in my view, both teams had chances to get more goals than they did. To question the manager is embarrassing, and so typical of some of our fans. Rome wasn't built in a day. 

I'm with you some of the way, but playing decent football ?

To be fair in 55 years of watching  there haven't been many seasons when i have thought we looked easy on the eye, maybe 7or 8 seasons out of that.

Most seasons the away team always seem to have had more flair. Maybe its just me?

Cum on do it boys you know you can!!!!!!!

NO. More likely to sing Drink up thy zider or Blackbird but only after the game.

The Chant of Bristol, Bristol again and again can get quite atmospheric at times. Even at Bears games, there are too many there just for the "Afternoon/evening" out and lots of beer. 

BARISTOL clap clap clap, was a regular chant in the East End early 70s. As you would know.

As posters have mentioned you need short songs to get the whole ground involved.

Am sure though however the football is going on the pitch, if were involved at the top or bottom of the league come March the atmosphere will be electric 

Half way up will no doubt be pretty flat.

She was only behind in a set in that last set of the final - and that was only for one game. Absolutely bonkers really. 

Think she was 2/0 and 15/40 down at the start of her quartet final, still not to shabby!!!!

The concensus seems to be, without sound.

This might be a blessing for us the way the first half ended.

We doing any better? Changes imminent?

Well don't like doing it, but Big John retired a year before Crowe came to the Gate.

Sorry, I don't think Crowe and Savino ever played together, pretty sure Atyeo and Bartley never did either  and who's Rogers ?

yeah Savino as i recall was never a regular and Crowe was maybe a year later?

Fred Ford was manager 1960 to 1967. 
Took them up to Division 2 ( championship now ) in 1965 with a 2-0 win over Oldham my second home game . Then had a chance to take them to League 1 with City in the promotion mix but they lost to Southampton, another promotion challenger over Easter , first clash of fans in the East End that day, Finished there promotion push. 
Unlucky for Ford,  Ayteo retired and left a hole that they didn’t fill and struggled for goals . Struggled the following season and Ford got the sack.

It was Dicks who took over in 1967 a struggling side and for the next four or five seasons, battling relegation was the norm . 
The first side I saw was Gibson, Drury, Ford, Crowe, Parr, Bartley, Savino, Rogers , Clark, Atyeo, Derrick 
 

Ok my memories as a kid were a bit blurred. I bow to your recall. the first City game for me was Atyeo's last game  4.1 win over Ipswich his last game.

I remember all the players you say played in that first game for you. That you can remember the line up, well i tip my hat.

Yes, absolutely....................we don't play in red shorts anymore !

Yeah that was my introduction ,City in all red midfielders like Jonny Quigley,Bobby Kellard Chris Crowe and of coarse the likes of Parr Low and Danny Bartley running down the wing.

Those early 70s was a struggle,a 1-0 win on a Tuesday night was a bonus but Fred keeping us in the division set it up for Dicks to have a go and see us through.
