How do you know that?

Not me Galley - i don’t feel qualified to say whether City should try to keep him or not for the reason I’ve already mentioned.

Absolutely spot on. Even when City are live on TV the commentators often remark about the ‘cider songs’ belting out around AG - nationally cider is associated with the West Country. One of my other favourite Wurzels song is ‘where be the blackbird to?’ - I’d like to hear that over the tannoy more often at AG,

To fully evaluate what any player brings they need to have a run of at least 10 full games. After that we’d have an idea and able to form an assessment - Twine has been injured, hardly trained and therefore not fully match fit and played half a dozen games - in all of those he didn’t play the full game and yet you feel qualified to pass judgement on a player you’ve hardly seen…………. Anyway it’s irrelevant. He won’t be at City next season.

Twine has hardly played - 6 games apparently. Some of those would have been away so those, like me who only watch City at AG these days have seen him around three times and with him not being fully match sharpe. Its way early to start drawing conclusions about what he offers. Anyway I doubt that he’ll be at City next season.

Be better before the game - would help to create a wonderful atmosphere.

SL is 70, pretty much retired and has passed the baton down to JL. Neither SL or his lad know much about the beautiful game, hence the promotion of BT who being a former professional does understand the complexities of the game. As far as SL goes - I hope he really gets to enjoy his retirement. He’s a billionaire and that give him and Maggie the freedom to do whatever they want.

I watch plenty of PL football - yesterday I watched both Liverpool and Arsenal lose and that opens the door for Man City……..and I’ll probably watch Chelsea v Everton this evening even tho neither club interest me that much. I also watched the Foxes lose at Argyle. That said when it comes to the Championship I’ll only watch if one of the teams are in with a shout of promotion.

People leaving early has always happened. It was at its worst before the Dolman was redeveloped when exits were in opposite ends and became a bottleneck. Fans would start heading down to ‘avoid the rush’ often several mins before full time. The chap who sits next me in the Lansdown heads off a few mins early and down to the concourse where he watches the rest of the match on the TVs for exactly the same reason.

Clough has been gone over 20 years and if anything he was wrong on fans losing interest in football being shown on tv. If anything the opposite has happened. Like many football fans I love the beautiful game and watch many games both live at AG and also my local amateur team. On top of that I watch plenty of football on Sky and TNT at home so I wouldn’t have a problem if even more games were shown live on tv.

Oddly enough my lad made the same comparison Kid. If it turns out to be as good I’ll be delighted

There were unusual items on the menu that I’d never seen on any Indian menu previously - tandoori crab was one, rabbit with qual egg was another, creamy lobster another one - as I said pretentious. Alarmingly no mushroom bhaji…………

Been to the Mint Room and wasn’t overly impressed. They were very pretentious I thought.

You’re right it was, Second half we played towards the SS.

It has happened at least once before under Manning. On that occasion it was Tanner who at the time was getting flak on here for being ‘negative’. The negative reaction yesterday may have been because we were losing at the time.

Ever since the last WC referees have been adding more mins.. in one match I remember something like 11 added mins, even the commentators were stunned. Seems to have filtered down throughout the professional game.

That’s my point - the Huddersfield players were time wasting during the 5 added mins so she added them on - good job she did!

Chatting with my lad midweek he and his partner when to the Nutmeg an Indian restaurant in Clifton Village. He said it was excellent with a great variety of set menu’s to select from. We’re thinking of going there ourselves - has anyone else been there?

I just perused the Huddersfield forum. Obviously they’re very bitter about the penalty award and complaining about the added time and accusing Rebecca Welch of being the worst referee ever. What they don’t t seem to realise is that the 5 added mins is a minimum and during that 5 mins their players were time wasting and she simply added it on - that’s good refereeing in my view and boy! I’m glad that she did. However - we City fans would have reacted in exactly the same had we been on the end of such a decision and reinforces my belief that we football fans are all the same regardless of which club you support.

Three of those matches I didn’t actually see live. That means I’ve seen him play live just three times and stand my opinion that I’ve not seen enough of him yet to form an opinion.

Personally I haven’t seen enough of Twine to pass judgement as yet - he’s been out injured and played very few times - what is now 3 starts? ………….

I guess you weren’t at AG when City put 5 past Blackburn? Whilst BR were crap City took advantage and played some great stuff. Today was entirely different. The Terries defended well and City huffed and puffed and just couldn’t break them down - it happens.

Good to see a City loanee finding the net.

Just saw that Huddersfield are putting on three free coaches for AG this afternoon - so they’ll have at least 150 fans in the Atyeo…………..

I thought it probably was but wasn’t sure if she’s the only active female referee so I looked on the PGMOL site.
