It's really the cocaine/alcohol combination.

In itself, unless taken to psychosis levels, coke just makes you want to talk endlessly and perhaps get off with some young ladies (although to disappointing ends, if the stories I've heard are correct).

One reason coke is so popular on football away days, stag nights, lads big nights out etc, is that its extra alertness means you can drink more without lapsing into that alcohol-induced Gollum state where you are stumbling around and don't know what the **** is going on.  You remain alert and on your toes.  The trouble is although the alcohol's physical effects are postponed, its mental affects, which for many people include a propensity for violence, aren't.  Add in coke paranoia and its an awful mix. 

Why I used to use it on work’s night out. On work do’s you can keep up with the drinking and at the end of the night you can still order the cabs to get your comatose work colleagues home.

Never felt violent though.

Exactly why I go to football . 

If we go three down in the first five minutes I’m sure they’d let us pass it around at the back for the rest of the game to get our completion rate up.

An awful lot of fans are shirking and setting a bad example to the players!

Last time I checked my bank account I must have missed the wage packet from BCFC.

That'll upset a few on here.

What drivel.

May as well get a record, 9 own goals before the whistle blows?

Still care, but I hate it. Not been to AG for a while but it’s in the blood so still keep track. It’s a sickness in some ways.

Have far more fun following my local non league team.

Should be easy for you to find and add to your post.

If you can't it's just bull sh*t

Maybe you could ask SL or can’t he hear you due to your head being so up his ass?

You have no clue what would be included in a sale, so just bull shit argument

So how would you carve out just BCFC and Ashton Gate from Bristol Sport?

WHY Lansdown, he doesn't pick it he team, he wrote off  a £10m debt with Bristol City, 

Aw bless, keep tugging your forelock and doffing your cap.

Only just bothered to find out the result, must be plenty like me.

Sorry, I’ll dig out my foam hands...

scott parker complimetary after doing huddersfield 3-0 today. saw us as a tough game apparently even though we so say didnt really turn up for that one either

 

Bournemouth boss Scott Parker told BBC Radio Solent:

"2-0 is always a precarious position, especially when you're dominating like we were. We were superb in the first half with two goals, but we've been in this position a few times and probably needed the third to kill the game off.

"I thought again today we were very, very good, well worthy of the three points.

"I was really impressed with us, I thought in the second-half we were a bit slow out of the blocks but this has been a monster week for us, with two tough away games at Bristol City and Stoke.

"We were relentless and it was a very good performance."

At what point have you ever heard a manager say ‘well we had a piss easy game against x team because they’re shite no wonder we won this one’?

Ran out of likes but whenever anyone says what you just did they get ridiculed and told how much sl has had to spend

How someone can make a business that started in his bedroom into a billion pound one and fail so miserably with Bristol city is mind blowing .

Timing and a very talented business partner.

Words fail me. Are you completely oblivious to the financial side of the the club? Steve might ask who the **** do you think you are to expect him to keep paying compensation for old Managers and additional wages for new Managers to suit you? Another problem - it's a football cost, we haven't got a pot to ******* piss in and that means EVEN LESS for the new manager you propose to spend Steve's money on (because that's exactly who will be paying for yet another new manager to suit you).

Ooh Steve and his money. Doff cap, tug forelock. Thanks guv. If you haven’t spotted that he’s the problem then you are truly lost.

Never ceases to amaze me the anger Pearson gets.  The anger should be directed at that smarmy ***t Ashton and his sidekick LJ for ****Ing us over so badly that we are left in this position with no money and a weak squad.  

He’s in charge, he  signed up for it. It’s his shitshow now.

I think it's for both. Players often talk about it don't they, and if they're going to have 20k people scrutinising their every move for 90m surely support is better than anything else? You've never experienced the effect of a crowd on a game - either positive or negative?

Your argument is really odd and seems a bit hung up on the amount they make. They didn't decide that, it's the going rate and it's not their fault. Money doesn't make you feel "less shit" on a Tuesday night if you're playing like crap, losing, and the crowd are on your back. I seriously doubt almost any player will be going "Ah well another 5k at the end of the week never mind eh, who's in charge of the half time orange slices this week?".

 

If you were one of the best in the world you probably would be paid 10k a week for that spreadsheet  and have a group of people hanging off your every word at conferences or whatever!

Funnily enough my years wages are just over a months worth of someone earning 10k a week. Unfortunately I am really crap at football, oh and cricket. Usually get sent off in football (lack of ability rather than malice). Cricket I either get 3 fours as the last batsman or out for a duck, usually the second. Agricultural I’d say. Weird where the money is.

I can understand the crowd getting on their backs might be an issue but the support side of it? Maybe it does but in which case they are precious little flowers. My boss gives me a verbal kicking I listen, need the salary.

Money is demonstrably a pretty poor motivator of people... Maybe you'd rather watch a team who are motivated based on their wage but I wouldn't.

I suspect you don't have 20k people who have paid to watch you fill in that spreadsheet!

 

I remember complaints about the atmosphere back when the EE was open, endless arguments between the "netters" and the others about who was singing too fast, the rest of the ground saying they couldn't hear it properly due to the roof etc. etc.

What gets an atmosphere going is exciting football. When we play it, the atmosphere is decent imo... but we've had a severe lack of that for years now. Maybe the possession based slowly slowly approach is one to get the purists going but quick, incisive, attacking football - or even players fighting battles and winning tackles will get the atmosphere back.

Imo you could shuffle the fans and it's not going to change anything. Put the main singers in the worst bit of the ground and an exciting game in front of them and the ground will be rocking regardless.

I was purely making the point that atmosphere is for the fans, not the players.

Also even though only 4 people see my actual spreadsheet over 50,000 see the results once run through some pretty web app.

Maybe I should ask to be on 10k a week and get my company to pay a cheerleading squad just in case I feel a bit down on a wet Tuesday?

I enjoy the singing and support at games but really? I don’t have anyone standing behind me at work when filling in a spreadsheet. You have a job, just do it. Atmosphere should be more for the fans, in the stands, than the players.

if you can’t get motivated by that level of salary you can f’ off as far as I’m concerned.
