Generous with the 8s. I’m not sure they were that deserved. We had so much possession yet so little actual pressure that made a difference. Even with their keeper off I don’t think we actually got a shot away to test the replacement. They played a high line and pushed up. There wasn’t much space to play and as you’ve said we looked tired and lethargic. Anyway the robin and his mate will be off to renew acquaintances with Colin on Tuesday. Christ. That’ll be more ridiculous photos from “the man having a midlife crisis” ? who enjoys wearing latex. Onwards and upwards. Shirley Bassey hasn’t started singing yet. Top 6 here we come….. ?

We huffed and we puffed, but the Bluebirds played a high line and we couldn’t match it. Top 6 is looking in doubt. Oh well. Huddersfield on Tuesday. 3 points? Let’s hope so. Daffs were nice. ?

I thought it was sold out….. 45 minutes to go. There’s no one about…

@Major Isewater yep. Shrooms galore…. Thing is I’ve got more pics to post. But I don’t seem to be able to. Oh well. Robin’s in. Right at the back. Should’ve brought me glasses…. ?

@Major Isewater Kalas? ?

Not us @Davefevs Robin’s here.

**** me. The boy’s disputing me grammer….. Robin’s - as in robin is. 3 points. Top 6. ?

Morning my man. You’re very vocally confident about the pray offs. Just wondering what odds you’ve got? Presumably you’ve backed your optimism with a flutter? You got your tickets to cheer on Nige and the boys for the next few away games? And I so love seeing an OAP’s use of a totally irrelevant emoji. Keep it up. See you at Huddersfield?

Don’t come on here and talk sense! You bloody defenders always stick together ? Not Zachary’s finest 90 minutes but as you and others have said he was up against world class opposition. And my Christ he’s had a bloody good season so far. Onto Cardiff and 3 points on Saturday.

They’re handsome bastards. The 2 young men sitting next to the robin. And having appeared on national telly they’ve both been inundated with requests from ladies and agents wanting to know if they want to be on Love Island. Or was that Denny Island? Anyway we was good last night. Really good. If we play like that between now and meeting up with Chris Martin then Top 6 is on. I had a dream. Keep the faith! Robin is off to Cardiff on Saturday. Watch out you Blue Birds. He ain’t nesting yet! ?

Imagine it. Pip leads his lot out. Nige leads us out. To this classic. And my Christ. Couldn’t that Elvis bloke sing a tune. And wasn’t he a good looking bloke. And the trumpets. Sing up. And then again on Saturday. And every game until play offs are beyond reach. Keep dreaming…..

I’m sweating all over. That’ll be the heat from the ******* dog on the bed. She loves a cuddle does Ivy. My latest dream hath ended……. Me and the boy take our seats. Daaaaddd. Yes my son? Where’s the banner? And your beautiful robin mask? **** me son. I thought you had them. Nope. It’s your stupid idea. I wouldn’t be seen dead with either of them. I’ll go and get them. Don’t let anyone have me seat. Too late. They’re coming out. It’s starting to rain……. I wake up. The “rain” is Ivy. Licking my face. She looks a bit like Claudia Winkleman. All’s not bad. Note to self. Don’t forget the mask. Or banner. We be on the telly. 2-1. Like the Utd game. Pandemonium.

That’s bloody disgusting. And you’ve made it up! Mine was an actual dream. It was. It was very vivid ? Anyway this time tomorrow we’ll be 2 up. I’ll be wearing the robin mask. Max will look pretty in pink. Toby will be telling me to ******* sit down. Oh yes. Pip won’t know what’s hit him……

Snow chains and a shovel? Whatever for. Never mind the weather forecast. This Beast sticks to the road like the proverbial. Well most of the time……

I think so. I’ll DM it to you just in case.

No Major. You’re wrong. The bloke down the chip shop is a liar. And I’m not sure about you! ? RIP Ms McColl. She’d have had a bloody good career in retail…….

To quote Mr King - Martin Luther, not Andy…… We beat Man City. Twas 1-1 and deep into injury time. Bobby Reid - ok a surprise and unlikely appearance I accept- curls a sublime right footed free kick past Ederson. I rush to catch a train to get back to Somerset. There’s a train strike. I have to wait for ages. I miss the highlights. Someone says we won 4-1. I watch the highlight on me phone at a windswept Westbury station. Final whistle pandemonium. They’re on the pitch. Max is seen throwing a firework back into the Atyeo. Nige comes out and kicks him down the tunnel……. I wake up. Christ what was that all about? Must have been the 7.2% Savoie Triple Epices beer I had last night ? Anyway a fool can dream. Top 6 finish? That’s happening. What did you dream about last night? Enjoy yer Monday. I’m hedge trimming ?

Spot on. A Bristol thing. Expect the least. Moan about expecting the least. Then if - and if - you get the least you can be self satisfied that you was right all along. Not like that ******* idiot who wore that bloody ridiculous robin mask. Where he be to now? But then again if - and it’s a bloody big if - Nige and the boys carry on who knows? And as Mr Presley said I can dream……. ?

So until the fat lady has sung me and the boy are planning a few away trips. Tickets for Cardiff, Huddersfield and Luton are bought. There will be 2 of us. In the Big Blue Land Rover Defender. A good old diesel guzzling TD5. Not that homogenised nonsense with that plastic box on the window. Anyway I digress. If anyone fancies a ride then DM or comment below. Contributions for fuel will be donated to CHSW. Haze will be provided. Robin masks optional. Top 6 here we come……

Bollocks to all the Bristolian naysayers. Ok. Some might say realists. In the words of the great man…. Deep in my heart there's a trembling question Still I am sure that the answer, answer's gonna come somehow Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle, yeah And while I can think, while I can talk While I can stand, while I can walk While I can dream Oh, please let my dream Come true Right now Let it come true right now Oh yeah So I can stand. I can walk. I can dream. Top 6 finish? Nailed on….

Forget all this bloody are we safe nonsense. How many are needed for Top 6 finish? If the stars and they planets remain aligned I reckon we might finish with between 62 and 77. Might 77 be enough? Ever the optimist…… or fool. ?

Pray offs? Who be that then? ? I’m still hopeful of Top 6. So much so I think I committed yesterday to take the boy to all remaining games. QPR. Away. Last game of the season. Should be fun……

For tomorrow. Sadly not Cardiff or Man City….. First row behind the goal South Stand. Just right for keeper baiting. And don’t worry. You don’t have to wear a mask ? Anyway it could be yours. For a donation to CHSW. Yes. I’m starting that again. Comment below or DM if you’re interested.

Life’s too short. 56 yesterday. Physical age. 5 or 6 mental age? If you can’t smile or take the piss out of yourself then what have you got? ? Anyway the Robin is back. And he’ll be there for the Tigers. And the Bluebirds. 20-1. Good old Nige. And Steve. ?

So it made its famous debut the other week. Me and the (embarrassed) boy was nicely tweeted. We ain’t no canaries…… And 20 minutes ago at 10.30 the boy rings. Daaaaadddd… Yes my boy? Did you forget to log on? **** me. I did. Hastily logs on. 10 tickets left. I’m all fingers and fumbs. Bloody passwords. Bloody iPhone. Bloody Wi-Fi…. Christ. Now I’ve got to log on to the bloody bank to verify the payment. I’ve got 10 minutes. What if my basket has a hole in it……. Success. Email received. Did I forget son? Forget? Christ almighty. Of course I didn’t my son. When have I ever let you down…. ? Top 6 at 20-1. It’s on ?? Reckon that fat robin will put in another appearance. The Tigers and Bluebirds will be quaking in their boots……. ?
