    What's it to the tune of? Can't quite work it out from the lyrics
  2. Listening to his press conference. He speaks very well and actually shares a lot of the same values as Nigel. He's a big believer in culture, doing the basics, intensity, playing to players strengths etc. Optimistic!
  3. It's important we put our feelings and thoughts of Nigel behind us. As he phrased it, this is our club. What I will say is he has built a strong foundation for Liam to build off and I hope he's a success. Welcome Liam, you have my full support, regardless of my thoughts towards the Lansdowns.
  4. I'd much rather they went down. A, because I don't like them. And B, because of the potential sell ons for AS, AS and LK.
  5. I wasn't at the game today. But the fact we scraped by bottom of the league who had 10 men, tells you all you need to know. This is a mid table squad that Pearson was doing his best to get the most out of. Lansdown is absolutely deluded with his promotion squad statements.
  6. Not in my view. It'll be 'Pearson laid the foundations, and should have got the chance to see it out'. Especially when you consider what he's done to get us in the position we are now.
  7. My dad took me to my first game in 2001. I was 4 years old. I've had a season ticket for every season since. I won't be going anymore until the Lansdowns are gone, which utterly breaks my heart. But, I feel that strongly about this 'ownership'. This is no longer Bristol City FC. This is Steve Lansdown FC. He said in that interview in the summer, 'this is my club and I'll do what I want'. Well. Bristol City will be around a lot longer than you Steve, and you certainly won't be getting a single penny further off of me.
  8. MJ would be a big loss, if he is injured. But, I have every confidence in TGH and Knight to step up. On watching TGH so far, I think he could play the quarterback role that MJ plays. It's just about Andi and Knight making the angles for him. But, if that is to be the midfield 3, what I would say is that they'll certainly cover a lot of ground and I fully expect us to press Diff in the way we did to Ippy in the week. Cardiff are nowhere near the levels of Ipswich either.
  9. One of those games where we could quite easily blow them away and win comfortably by 2 or 3. Or Alex Neil sh*thousery equates to a 2-1 away win. Really hope it's the former

    And 66 was lightyears ago in comparison. Southgate is the only coach since Sir Alf to get us anywhere near those levels. And actually, if you look at tournament wins, guess who has the most of all time? We'll never know with regards to someone like Pep. But, what I'm saying is, I get the the feeling because of Southgate's perceived lack of pedigree, the knives are quick to come out when he gets things wrong. If he had the creditably of someone like Pep, I honestly think there would be a greater level of tolerance and acceptance there that he is the right man for the job.

    Amen. Just because he's Gareth from Watford and he's got a mediocre club management record, oh and he missed a penalty 25 years ago. He gets all the stick and absolutely no credit whatsoever. If Pep Guardiola got us to a Semi Final, a Final and another Quarter Final he'd be heralded as an England managerial legend. I will never quite get why the media and social media are always on his back. People seem to forget that Iceland and Euro 2008 weren't so long ago.
  12. The irony of our owner doing that. Bearing in mind this is someone who has made his fortune in the investments and financial industry. The proof is in the pudding. Our accounts don't lie. Major losses during Ashton's and Johnson's Tenure with a sky high wage budget. Our net costs have dropped significantly since then, plus increased revenue through the sales of Scott/Semenyo. With regards to our forthcoming accounts, Fevs and Mr P have run the numbers for them. They'll be pretty much in the ballpark I expect with their projections. He'll never come out and say 'Thanks Nige for digging us out a massive hole, oh by the way, which I got us into in the first place by having my arms pulled by LJ and MA'. But, it doesn't take a genius mathematician to see that's effectively what is going on/has gone on.
  13. I can absolutely 100% see Lansdown not extending NPs contract at end of the season. He will use our inevitable mid table finish as the reasoning for this. In reality, NP has saved us around 25 million on the wages over the past 3 seasons and brought in around 35 million in transfer fees. He's had barely a fraction of this to spend. To say his hands have been tied, I think is honestly an understatement. NP is not perfect don't get me wrong. But to bring in the best part of £60 million, and not be allowed to reinvest I think is a complete joke. All this whilst still keeping us competitive within this division and bringing through the academy! Lansdown needs to seriously consider his position. He's not backing the manager in the slightest.
  14. Thought he was one of our best players on Saturday and one of our best players last night. The ball over the top to him between the centre half and the RB is always on, he's always giving us an outlet making those runs in the channel. Getting in those positions in the first place and splitting the defenders with those runs is the hardest thing. His finishing and end product will come.
  15. Think I've seen suggested on here before, to Frankie Valli - Oh what a night Oh what a guy Nigel Pearson Born in 63 Drinks the cider just like you and me Nigel Pearson what a guy Whether you can get the bloke with the megaphone to bellow that out, remains to be seen.....
