  1. How have we got to page 2 without mentioning Diony and Styvar?
  2. Isn't Good Friday supposed to commemorate someone getting crucified?
  3. Agreed, but you never know with City. We should take hope from the performance against Southampton. Might be a good idea if Manning mentions that the game to the players.
  4. All true, of course, but the point is that the players wanted to go, as does Conway reportedly. Also, despite all the player sales we still make a substantial loss every year, FFP angle or not. Is it therefore reasonable to demand that all proceeds from a player sale have to be spent? BTW, £10m for Semenyo doesn't look like a great deal for us now does it?
  5. A word invented in the Harry Potter universe. The language of snakes apparently. Every day is a learning day...
  6. Sorry, could someone explain to me why he was a legend as a player. Long serving certainly, but all his best years were in tier 3. Had the odd decent game in tier 2 but nothing to write home about IMO. Then there's his performance in the playoff final vs Brighton - he was shocking, but instead of holding his hand up put all the blame on Danny Wilson.
  7. I think he's saying that they should invade Poland.
  8. The only good thing about that is that when he fails we should see the back of him for good.
  9. You're not kidding - he spent a King's ransom on getting Forest to 4th in the Championship and then promoted after very lucky playoff win against Huddersfield. Only my opinion, but there's nothing in our history to suggest that Lansdown would provide that level of support.
  10. Sorry to drag this back. What exactly was the Nolan sister Incident?
  11. Very sad news. He can Ask Elvis himself now. RIP
  12. The scouse version: https://images.app.goo.gl/hMiX6BUr15YxqBASA
  13. It was. It's a very sad day in a man's life when he goes to somewhere like that and finds that the grannies are far too young.
  14. In this case the OP said that they were police officers (not representatives of NFFC). Don't think that football clubs can just apply their own rules with no involvement of the authorities - the involvement of the police at matches isn't optional for football clubs.
  15. Thing is that every time this argument is trotted out about something or other it's always about the state taking more control from individuals. What next, breathalysers for anybody suspected of being over some limit? Anyway, back to the point at hand - if someone has, say, smoked a joint before the match does it matter? Not to me - it only matters if they go on to do something wrong in the stadium, and if they do they should be punished for the actual offence committed. This is only the latest in a list of restrictions put of football supporters because somebody might do somethong wrong. (Crowds fenced in, early kickoffs/bubble games, bags being searched etc). Well, in theory we all might do something wrong and that doesn't justify the state intruding taking a greater grip of all our lives. Time this nonsense stopped.
  16. Hope: promotion to the Prem, established safely in mid table, doing well in cups. Expectation: continuing to lose millions a year, selling best assets to reduce losses, academy production hits a lean spell, relegation fights, relegation to league one, losing Bristol derby.
  17. .... and then I believe that The Old Curiosity Shop was inspired by the club's superstore.
  18. King James Bible; Luke 19:41: And when he was come near, he beheld the City, and wept...
  19. Gloves for the Glovers. Can't wait for Northampton to follow the same logic.
  20. Very true. Bears also doing very well for crowds. Amazing to think that we could do with adding more capacity to the Gate as things are going. What next - top tier on the South Stand, replace the Dolman or Atyeo stands?
  21. The version I remember" "I'm sorry Mickey, but I can't legally divorce you from your wife Minnie simply because you say she has buck teeth".
  22. Sad to see him go - model pro for us and always enjoyed watching him play. Good luck with the Baggies Andi!
  23. Given that the new manager had the advantage of a number of players getting fit that weren't available to Pearson I would say that we've gone slightly backwards
  24. Not really, 'twas just an old joke. A pity he left for us at the time, and as it turned out not good for him in the long run either. Well do I remember what Nicky Maynard achieved with us, particularly when Paul Hartley was running midfield. Here's a reminder:
  25. How soon we seem to have forgotten Mickey Maynard. Reminded a couple of West Ham fans on Sunday. They showed no sign of gratitude.
