  1. Just listened. Don’t think it was anywhere near as bad as people are making out. Give the man a break.
  2. So much success? Must have missed that
  3. Just listening to a Reading fan on 5 live and yes, it really drums home just how SPOILT and pathetic much of our fan base sound.
  4. Christ, what a spoilt little brat you sound.
  5. As a club you are completely irrelevant to me. I just hate Mark Ashton and therefore currently your club. Once he leaves I’ll go back to having no interest in you once again.
  6. Absolutely. The team I now love to see lose the most (above Rovers, Cardiff, anyone). Petty perhaps but c’est la vie
  7. What an awful club supporting their player after he gets brutally abused. Shame on them!
  8. How people are unable to put this news together with Nige leaving is beyond me. Imo the club did not feel Nige was fit enough to perform all his duties as manager e.g be out on training field every day. Due to this they weren’t prepared to offer him a new contract. They decided to pull the trigger now so the new manager can have a say on comings and goings in January. They obviously can’t say this as they could be liable for unfair dismissal. This would all seem fair enough to me.
  9. The King is dead, long live the King!
  10. I would feel much more optimistic if Nige signed a new long term deal. If that happens, then I’m more than happy for this season to be another step in our rebuild. I think then the forced use of youngsters could actually be a good thing this year as gives more of them the experience to develop. If, however, Nige is not with us next year then this will all feel like the usual Bristol City merry go round of wasted opportunities and predictable failure
  11. How do you know they haven’t?
  12. I’m sure this has been said already (I haven’t got the stamina to read through it all), but surely it is reasonable to consider that the club does not think Nigel is medically fit enough to continue in the role? It seems people are jumping to the conclusion that the Lansdowns don’t like Nige, but perhaps they simply don’t think he is fit enough to extend his contract. Nige himself said that it is neurological which is medically defined as disorders that affect the brain and the nervous system. They may not have gone public on this as Nige has his rights to Medical privacy. That seems far more Likely than the idea the Lansdowns are desperate to get rid of a manager that’s doing pretty well. Not everything is a conspiracy
  13. Fair enough and you are right to state that it will mean different things to different people but for me that’s way too simplistic a view. I reckon if you supported Leicester you may question what it was like to support Bristol City and spend several years stuck in mid-table championship obscurity
  14. This is real life not champ manager. Football is about more than simply completing an objective. It’s a deep rooted culture and way of life. Football fans, be it Leicester, City or Wherever are in it for life, not just until they’ve won something. You can’t simply ‘complete it’ as there is always a next season to come.
  15. Why all the doom and gloom when our last away performance was so positive? I think we’ll win today. Football is won on the pitch not by how much coverage you get on SSN on deadline day. We have a team full of committed players who give their all. You reds.
  16. He was excellent. Let’s keep supporting our academy lads as they grow rather than jumping on every mistake. Well done Max
  17. Very encouraged last night but when you think we now have a cup game on Tuesday and an opportunity to rest some players it presses home just how thin our squad is. Within the midfield 3, we only really have King (who I was hoping would be used more in a coaching capacity this season) and TGW (who Pearson sees as a RB and came in in that position last night). Naismith can play there but I wouldn’t like to risk playing him again in there so soon after a recurring injury - plus if he is our cover at CB, he can’t cover both positions. We are not far off but desperately need another 2/3 arrivals through the spine of the pitch, otherwise I just can’t see us managing to compete in over a long season. Pearson talks about this wage cap, but that is self-imposed. Surely with the 25m + Semenyo sale we have room to make more additions. I’ve always supported Lansdown and am very appreciative of everything he’s done, but if we don’t make signings next week then his time is up.
  18. Great performance. Well done boys. Deserved to win. Pring and Knight were excellent
  19. Played well. What I would do to have Tammy back in this side
