Champion Dung Spreader

I agree, I was referring to the prophetical nature of "Garner out"

Many a true word spoken in jest

? "When skies are grey and red and white" ? Rovers really brightened a grey afternoon for me ??. Schadenfreude? Mich? Nein.

Yes, a marked difference between this loser and Gary Owers, who is regularly critical of City. If the Rovers guy criticises them, like today, then you know they were really ****.

Covers most bases ??

Prediction Bingo: Cue Garner on Twentypence on how ref's decisions "changed the course of the game just when Rovers we're getting back in to it"

The Sun is reporting that under new lockdown rules that single people have to choose between having sex and seeing their parents. Rumour is that in Horfield they're going to kill two birds with one stone.

With regards to Wales being out of bounds to the English for leisure, not sure if this has been mentioned on here before. Did anyone see the Welsh Heddlu WPC plod on TV? I thought it might be a "Little Britain" sketch, but it was real: "You don't be comin' over 'ere boyo or we'll nick you ..." - great character. Maybe we could sponsor Scotty to relay back and forth across the bridge to the "Croeso" sign in his classic pose - you know - like Major Tom. It could raise a lot of money for the NHS.

Bedminster sounded loud on Radio Bristol Very loud here in Easton - people banging drums, cheering and clapping. It was like being in S82. Maybe we could have an "Atmosphere" thread for future 8 O'Clock Claps for the NHS? What about chanting to encourage adjacent streets? e.g. "South Street South Street clap your hands". What do you think Robbored?

I told my wife (who knows little about football) that Rovers had brought on 3 subs at the same time. She said "are they asking for volunteers from the crowd?" - they may well be I replied.

Sit in your own car in December? It'll be freezing - they'll have to leave their engines running to keep warm - well they are called the gas

The gashead Charlotte Leslie has gone and Bristol is red again; is this another nail in the UWE coffin?

Bring on the hostilities!

Eventually we'll see whether Pigg's "watertight contract" holds water. I doubt it will judging by the amount of time (and therefore money) being spent by the judge in deciding. If the sags don't like the outcome maybe a chorus of "Walk Small for ye be screwed by Sainsburies" would be in order at possible future cup derbies.

I can't stop laughing. That is the best youtube video I've seen since the Hitler / Higgs relegation video.

I don't see the voting system changing in the near future and we have to accept that we are a very small fish in a large pond. It's no good us just standing and booing at Johnny Foreigner. I don't think that most countries will accept football authorities like ours, who are awash with Rupert Murdoch money, having unfair advantage over developing countries. We need to accept that the election is not likely to go UEFA's way. Finally, I don't believe any of the conspiracy theories you mention in your last paragraph. However, the USA does rampage around the world stealing other countries' things - it is called imperialism. As you say, money talks - fact not conspiracy.

I don't support Blatter, but I'm beginning to feel sick of the British media coverage of this. We live in a country whose Government supports small countries with oppressive regimes like Qatar for instance. Qatar is a petrol station masquerading as a country, yet we back major sporting events there, e.g. cycling etc. We support the Grand Prix in Bahrain. We support Saudi Arabia - one of the most brutal dictatorships, whose population suffers , whilst the rich Saudi princes roam around London visiting brothels and drinking champagne. It's about getting cheap oil and seems to fit in very well with the promotion of Prince Ali for the new FIFA President. Also, the US fraud inquiry and the timing of arrests is interesting. Presumably the inquiry has been going on for a long time. Is it coincidental that arrests have been made a few days before FIFA Presidential elections? Finally, there have been comments that England should have more of a say than smaller countries in the running of FIFA. Well we can't have it both ways. We can't go around the world backing small countries, but on the other hand not give all countries equal votes. We need to get over the fact that we are just a small wet island. If UEFA pulls out of the World Cup it will be a disaster for world football. Maybe that is what the USA wants. Their main sports are not truly international and they envy the World Cup - it is the best tournament in the world. Be careful what you wish for.

If this is of red trousers today at Wembley, then it's the biggest political gaffe, since Clegg and tuition fees.

El Abd's gonna get ya (to the tune of Tommy D)
