A yard outside the area when its frozen...

And it struck his head not his hand/arm, how can the referee get that so wrong ?

Not just objectivity, after a few defeats it was frequent ridiculing.

Never mind a few defeats it started from day 1

Check out WBA penalty last night against Rotherham, sorry, don't know how to load it onto here

Our trip to Preston , the ground I've been to most with City , 2015 promotion run in. I do like this photo.

I seem to remember PNE's next game was against Swindon , they won 3-0 and sang the Flint said no song .

That was a good day out

It's an interesting result in the context that a lot of people were hoping for Eustace over Manning. I wonder how he would have done here.

If Manning's team (or indeed any manager's team ) put in such an inept performance like that and made the brainless decision of leaving Hyam on the pitch they would get dog's abuse from the fans and rightly so

judging by his results and his decisions last night night............. crap

*Blackburn haven't really been thrashed under Eustace albeit it is a small sample size.

Sure they were not very good hut arguably some of the sides we struggled vs in February and March also weren't too good either.

*Until tonight.

Not very impressive results, Eustace's decision not to take Hyam off at half-time while making four substitutions was also baffling.

Listening to the football cliches podcast recently - apparently some now refer to a clean sheet as a "Cleano". Let's hope our social media team don't catch on.

Good signs from our defence tonight - as you say a young back line, without Rob Dickie who has been one of our best players. Considering we're without Naismith and Atkinson (I'd forgotten all about him until somebody mentioned him earlier) it's all the more impressive to go on a run without conceding (yes...Vardy should have scored...but he didn't!)

Our defence has been good all season, only three teams with better records and they're all in the top five

Digressing slightly, but I am coming over to Bristol next week - €70 return trip with EasyJet from Paris/Lulsgate.

I shall only be bringing small hand baggage, but, as @Slippin cider mentioned above, had I wanted to bring a suitcase, it would have cost in excess of €300! 

That’s nuts, it’s great if you can cram all your luggage in a ruck-sack

You can always yes postage stamps !!!

David Brent:
In fact, a postage stamp is legal tender. A bus driver would have to accept that as currency.

Tim:
Yeah, that'd happen.

Gareth:
Well, if he doesn't, report him.

Tim:
Yeah, I'll report him while I'm walking home.

Gareth:
Get a taxi, if you've got enough stamps.

Dawn:
Or cash 'em in at the Post Office.

David Brent:
Shouldn't have to. Shouldn't have to.

Fair enough but how do they access cash?

My father-in-law doesn't have a card, he's down the building society every Monday drawing money out, the silly old duffer insists that it's illegal for shops not to take cash (it isn't)

When my dad was alive he never had a card yet my mum embraced it and started doing her supermarket shopping and internet banking on line when she was in her 80's

No, flew there last month. Driving license is fine!

As someone who flies regularly, Sky Scanner is the best. 

Do you know which Belfast airport easy jet flies into ?

Looking at the possibility of a short trip to Edinburgh and possibly Dublin at a later date.As someone that hasn't flown in a very long time, any tips on getting the best deal in flights please. Also not a holder of a valid passport but I have eventually got around to getting one of those fancy new drivers licence with a very attractive photo of myself on.I think the drivers licence will be fine for Scotland but not sure about Ireland.Thanks for any advice. 

I thought you needed a passport if flying to Dublin ? i should know as i've been there countless times but always used my passport (in saying that you don't need any ID when going to Ireland by boat)

What is the current mood on gaschat please? If City lost 2-0 at home  on the Saturday and the Tuesday, OTIB would be in meltdown. When I try accessing gaschat I'm met with;

I may be in a growing minority like you but a lot of people still don't have or want a smartphone, mine for instance only receive calls and texts it's not that I don't understand how they work or can't afford one it's just I would rather not have one, as with parking apps, it seems we are slowly being forced into getting one whether we like it or not, a bit like electric cars (but that's for another day).

All i do on my phone is make and receive calls, i bought it in Tesco 12 years ago at a tenner a month and still going strong

Fake news, they are the most loyal fans in football, everyone's second favourite team and they have more fans than City. If it hadn't been for the Champions league being on tele, rain the day before, windy, Babestation going 24 hours, an interesting documentary about pre war Austria on BBC3 there would have been another capacity crowd. P.S Reading should have brought at least 8000, pathetic, the Gas would have taken that many to their place!

That's absolute nonsense, any programme about pre-war Austria would be shown on BBC4 and not BBC3

I don’t necessarily agree with the club taking away printed tickets.

But the world is constantly changing and evolving. The internet didn’t exist 30 years ago: there was a time you didn’t know how to use it, but here you are using it to converse with strangers across the globe.

Rather than throwing your toys out of the pram and punishing yourself but not buying a season ticket, why not open your mind to learning a new skill that will help you keep up with life in the 21st century - as you evidently have done previously?

Thanks

Yes looks like we are now cashless and paperless.

Oh well that will count me out then should i ever need a ticket, no idea what PDF is or means and the only wallet i have carries £10 notes, if i can't get a physical season ticket again for next season i won't be renewing

Is it bollux ..... its relevant and is pointing out how history repeated itself over a 9 year period.  

That '14/15 season was absolutely brilliant and we had that same sort of momentum as we'd had under GJ in our Play-Off season, or more recently you could look at the likes of Ipswich this season.  Shows the big difference when a manager is backed by the owner, compared to one who isn't.  Shall I just also point out the sale of Alex Scott and not allowing it to be reinvested in the squad and instead, creating a very large nest-egg as another comparison?  

FFS, I started this thread as I do every year on April 7th (It’s a very special date on a personal level), i give up

I went down to the Lloyds Amphitheatre where the team were appearing after the promotion.  I couldn't believe it When Steve Lansdown got on the mic to speak to the fans, when he was spouting about our wonderful season, but somehow managed to avoid giving any credit or acknowledgement to Cotts for his part in it.  I thought at the time it was really odd and classless how Cotts was blanked, and the events of the subsequent season showed Lansdown's actions were definitely no accident.  It seemed pretty obvious Lansdown couldn't stand him and it seems to be a very similar situation with Nigel Pearson.

Ironic how two of the most popular managers with fans for decades, were actually so thoroughly disliked by the owner. 

Yet another thread being hijacked

This, 100%. I’d be spitting feathers at the council for allowing the developers to have acted how they have and the developers themselves. The play area on one end of Dowsell that’s been unfinished for a year, the flags by the old peoples home falling and just left there by the builders, the roads not being surfaced properly and the temporary fencing not being removed is just a very short list. And bizarrely having no bins on the estate is just weird.

You can do a 10k round LGV now. To only be served by one Sainsbury’s and having no pub, community facilities or schools is just criminal and does the community no favours

Sounds awful, I can  see a film coming up with Kurt Russell “Escape from Yate”

It wasn't a togetherness throughout the club though. The hierarchy couldn't stand him. I had it on very good authority that they thought that he was a 'nutter' and a nightmare to work with. 

Which basically translates as he wouldn't tolerate their bullshit and suck up. 

Fast forward nine years. Oh... here we are again!

Difference is that Cotterill may have been a bit of a 'nutter'. 

Here we go again
