Bristol Oil Services

Just read that tickets to see Liam GallaghernotManning and John Squires scraping the barrell are £65 so a season ticket of £400 not so bad (gets one out of the house once a fortnight) ...

I would try Brian, match day announcer-idiot, and Downsy as .... as, er, Director of Football. Worth a try

Not if we're still ponderously passing the ball sideways across the halfway line, no

And yet people (birds) say blokes cannot multi-task ...

Privet and privy are interchangeable as far as I'm concerned so help yerself and fire away; the neatly clipped privet hedge is not for me.

As far as atmosphere goes, we're always going to be struggling with it, because: - in the Championship and were we to reach the Prem up there too, we will not have the best players and the stronger team, and so we will not dominate teams and attack in the way, for example, Leeds will do, or Liverpool/Arsenal in PL, and pepper the opposition goal (and it is "peppering" the opposition's goal more than anything that leads to atmosphere*) - in L1 and 2 we will have the better players and stronger team and be able to "pepper" the opposition goal but none of us will give a **** because it's only Walsall/Gillingham/Peterborough and peppering their bleedin goal, well, we should be shouldn't we? Yawn. So, as far as "atmosphere" goes, we're buggered. Plus, we're apathetic West Country sorts who just can't be arsed. And we're also somewhat jaded now and have no belief that anything truly exciting is happening here. Certainly not the "peppering" of the Leicester goal on Good Friday. *Unless it's Walsall/Gillingham/Peterborough's goal.

The loss of Britain's hedgerows is not a laughing matter, Rob. I for one applaud Stevie Lansdown for ordering one to be planted across the pitch up the Failand HPC

Liking the hedge, although I would go for a native mix of blackthorn, hawthorn and yew. This country needs its hedgerows back.

adjective changing frequently, especially as regards one's loyalties or affections My loyalties and affections remain t'ward Bristol City, although yesterday most of my affection was showered on mummy, like half of us "mummy's boys" Bristol City fans (and unlike those motherless Scallies and Mancs, I note; plus all them Taffies at the egg chasing: no empty seats there)

You daren't, just doesn't bear thinking about ....

You got the one where he does Everton fans in shell suits? Same sort of thing really

Liam is "Little SO'D" Dave

That's our "Baby Squad," prep for Good Friday (if you know you know, nudge nudge)

.... an ACL injury by the end of April (or at Stoke, most likely)

What are you like with temptation - can you resist it?

Goodbye then, come back if we do well. Or whenever you feel like it

Second half to remember coming up, a mixture of Lee's "busy bees" and Nige's "dogs of war," plus technical progressive well-coached front-foot football behaviours-and-no-emotions Pep-type Klopp heavy metal ...... 0:2 probably (tbf)

The forum today and the Matchday thread will be eerily quiet what with "Mother's Day" and all that ....

Mother's Day!!! If Leeds were playing at Plymouth today, would they fail to fill their end because "with Mother's Day" ?! Or, if we were third like Ipswich, a point off second, would the crowd be patchy like it will be today because it's "Mother's Day" ? It's because we're midtable and shite/dull that people will stay away today. Meanwhile, they'll pop round their muh's with some cheap flowers from Tresco and chappy milk chocolates, then while she's droning on about her various aches and pains and how she can't get a doctor's appointment, you'll all be checking yer phones to see if we're 0:2 down so's you can get on otib and get stuck in to Manning and Tinnion.

Yeah .... but with top end pressers

No doubt, but there's 300 or so days in any year when we're not playing and you can be nice to yer mum.

Harry Thickett gets better with every passing decade ....

Mother's day? Fer goodness sake, Pong, what is this - football, or flower arranging?

They fought and died there, the Scotch. Something tae think about when they make their way hameward

You appear to be trying to use facts to change how people feel about Bristol City. Or about life in general, including Bristol City. Once someone forms the view that City are to be worried about - or are "agitated" - you have about as much chance of changing that view with yer xG and yer stats and numbers as ..... (something massively improbable)
