  1. Some acronyms work better than others.
  2. Luckily most games don't get 11 added minutes and good on you for travelling a long distance to attend AG. On a separate note, older fans (over the age of 45, I'm 56) may remember an evening FA Cup tie against Northampton in December in the mid 80's that was rescheduled to 7.00pm, so the City staff could attend their Christmas party.
  3. Sorry, its my bad sense of humour. It was like you were officially saying cheerio.
  4. Love to the family, Max. Love to the family.
  5. Why has virtually every thread turned into a "wedge issue"? Is this a City fans' forum or the Conservative Campaign Headquarters?
  6. DaveP discusses Saturday's Ashton Gate action with Mark, Ian & the Suttons. City kept that unbeaten run intact with a generously awarded penalty in the 100th minute to make it 1-1. Huddersfield played with more intensity but Max had little to do in goal which might have been just as well since he appeared to be in some pain after taking a nasty knock in the first half. Trying to think of nice things we reminisce on the 9th anniversary of the 6-0 win at Bradford which secured the 2014/15 promotion. We debate how many of that team would feature in today's. We try to look forward to 24/25 with optimism but the view of the panel is that it'll be more of the same.
  7. Crikey! I'd forgotten the source of that comment about Zak.
  8. Oh. What. A. Night. Let's enjoy the 9th anniversary of City's barnstorming promotion to the Championship, when Steve Cotterill walked on cider. Valley Parade, 14th April 2015. Bradford City 0 CITY 6
  9. Spot on and it took at least 2 minutes for the penalty to be taken, due to the whinging Huddersfield players, especially Helik, who appeared to chain himself to the penalty spot, or imitate a standard lamp.
  10. Fair enough. It's a Hard Back Night.
  11. That Andre Paperbackwriter was pretty angry.
  12. As they used to say, that result is a 'coupon buster'!
  13. According to their expert historian, C Leelater.
  14. The unbeaten run continues as City ran out clear winners to extend their unbeaten run to 4 with another clean sheet which they've now achieved in 5 of the last 6 games. Blackburn had one of the worst players to grace the Ashton Gate pitch in recent years with Dominic Hyam at fault for the first 3 goals one way or another! Tommy Conway and sub Nahki Wells both grabbed a brace of goals and the penalty famine appears to be over with each scoring from the spot. Max O'Leary was rarely troubled, Sammie Szmodics had a return he'll wish to forget and even the referee was decent. Roberts was impressive in defence & Joe Williams brought extra energy to midfield alongside Knight in contrast to the more measured style of James. If we miss the play-offs by 5-7 points by maintaining this form in the final four games we will be ruing that bad form of the 6 games prior to the international break that produced a measly 3 points!!! Dave P is joined by Ian, Mark and Neil.
  15. A yard outside the area when its frozen...
  16. He was wearing his overcoat to avoid catching cold.
  17. More Rowley Birkin, "I was very, very drunk" Max, does he have a bit of Jeremy (Vile) Kyle about him as well?

  19. That's Alf Time. He only watched games during the 10 minute break.
  20. Executive boxes were multistorey back then.
