City oz

Depends on your age and when you first attended Ashton gate as the 11 will change depending on what era you are from. At the end of the day, we will always have our favorite players and ideal team. We are lucky to be part of a great club on the up after many ups and downs over the fifty years I have been a city supporter.

Many years have gone by now, but Alan Dicks also reminds me of a was a solid manager with great ethics and a fantastic football brain with it. Pearson though is one of the greats and you never know by the end of this season he will have the status of some great success.

Probably not the best 11 to go down in history but the team that won the Freight Rover Trophy at Wembley will always be cherished. I remember it was my first time at the stadium and we won 3-0 against Bolton. Any team we had with the great Norman Hunter, Terry Cooper and Joe Jordan will also be a great starting credible 11. For me the 76/77 first division away match at the Gunners where the mighty cheese scored in front of 40 K Plus will also be part of a great team. The teams in the late70s with the likes of Gow, Royle, Collier, whitehead (one of the best right wingers ever) Emmanuel (great player to come out of Wales) and Tom the sticks Ritchie (one of the best commanding center half's to ever play for us) will also have to be included in an overall best 11.

4-1 on that day. That was our fourth match of that season. "Drink up thy Cider" will aways be synonymous with Bristol City.

Your lyric writing course paid off then. ?

The first three lies are great. However "And he will be off to join with Alex Scott" how does that rhyme. What have I missed

Great match report Ole. Your last paragraph sums it up. O’Leary saved down low from a Darling far post header as the game headed into time added on, but in truth this was one of the poorest Swansea sides that City have faced in a long time and the visitors finished the game in total control, moving the ball as they wanted and winning free kicks from a chastened Langford as time ran out. Temperatures were now reaching 23 degrees as the final whistle went, but Pearson’s side - supposedly weaker after the transfer window - had easily overcome the heat, their opponents, and the match official.

Pearson, interview he commented "the ability within the squad" gave us an opportunity to score more. He could not have said a better comment.

So true. Just goes to show we are at a good level in this league.

I have watched multiple highlights and the goals today. What a great win and what a team we have. Sykes played like a man possessed. Definitely MOM for me. The match must have been a joy to watch for those that travelled.

I remember those year well. My first home match was around 1970 with my dad right behind the goal in the center of the east end. After a few seasons we usually located in the corner of the east end adjacent to the Dolman. The atmosphere in those days was absolutely brilliant.

I still see him netting 20 this season. If the team plays well, he will play well.

OMG I just googled tranny. I have definitely lived a very sheltered life.

It will be a good test and indicator of where we are really at. Depends though on what NP decides on who takes the pitch of the great young talent we have on hand.

This is the best, Typical fish and chips in OZ

The last time I went to a city away at Oxford was season 75/76 when the mighty cheese scored, and it finished up 1-1. Thank you for a great post, JB and keep up the great work.

Yes COYRedsssssssssssss, 3-1 CITY.

How can I get one of those bucket hats sent over to me in OZ. If anyone can help me, it would be very much appreciated.

I just wish I was lucky enough to be there. I hope everyone that attends will have a great day. Be proud and be red.

I suppose you are not a season ticket holder this season. Top 12 why would you be.

Why are there still so many negative comments on OTIB that predict we will only be mid table. Jesus Christ why are they on OTIB.

Whatever pulls your pud mate. Too many bad beers in the Concorde pub maybe have affected your brain.

Hi MM, best comment of the week. If we lose him the team would not be complete. He is an out and out goal scorer if given the chance to play. NP still trusts him. The recent players just taken on board will accommodate one of our best purchases in many years to come. Wiemann will net 20 this coming season and Conway not that far behind him. Time for someone now to start a new thread on who will net the most goals next season. COYedssssssssss

So young and so sad. Played for Sheffield Wednesday and Forest and also for England when he was a youngster.

living in OZ we all still go for the pomms in cricket.
