Hopefully she doesn't like football

How long til Gay disappears like Tinnion and Lansdown have ?

What the lad that got Caerdydd promoted twice?

Hardest question I've ever seen. If I answer no what's the alternative to sack or keep?

Bang on I just think there is zero point aiming the anger at Manning. He's as much a victim (albeit a wealthier one) as the rest of us at the hands of Tinnion and Lansdowns

I'd prefer energies were focused on the real problem at the club and it most definitely isn't Manning

Hope I can get out our road because I do have a flight later!! Arghh

Hate to think what our points total would be if we had more than 1 poor performance in 20

We went LOSE LOSE LOSE LOSE 6-0 LOSE Holden sacked LOSE 1-0 Couldn't get out of our half, player in tears Nigel appointed as manager 22nd February Pearson joins Robins as manager - Bristol City FC (bcfc.co.uk) WIN 23rd February You think the win was just a random coincidence?

Ok he was in the stands at Boro, which knowing the character of the man was enough of a boost for the players to put in a very very good performance, night and day from the Barnsley game

I will never forget the game before Pearson came in. We played Barnsley at home, barely got out of our half and had our club captain in tears at the end of the game. If we only needed 5 more to be points to be safe then we probably would have got them somehow over 16 games, but Pearson came in and got them straightaway. He definitely saved us at least from any sign of a relegation battle.

I liked him and 50 goals is worth a cheer

Manning needs less than Lansdown and Tinnion that's for sure 60 points will be enough for the fans regarding Manning, however for the two above him anything less than 65 points and top 10 at least is a damning failure of their actions

I would say there is a clear correlation between the use of 'Severnside Derby' starting maybe 10 years ago and the watering down of the rivalry. I agree with your second point and it's no doubt as they have Swansea as their main derby every year whereas ours is Cardiff

No surprise to see us marooned alone as slow in possession and poor at keeping the ball. Neither one thing nor the other. Where on that chart is Manning trying to get us? More up with Ipswich/Coventry I hope, not boring everyone with possession football like Swansea or Southampton but retaining it somewhat whilst passing directly through the lines

I agree with all this and have often wondered what our recruitment would look like if we ever made it. Are we really any different whatsoever to our peer clubs though who I perceive to be the likes of Coventry, Stoke, Cardiff, Birmingham, etc. Similar supporter base, similar sized grounds, ok maybe some have recent Prem experience but what would they do that we wouldn't? How are Luton doing it? How did Swansea survive so long? What about Burnley who despite being a smaller club (certainly at the time in 2009 compared to where we are now) are as close a comparison to what we hope to do, midtable Champ for many many many many years then snuck in through the play offs one year and haven't really looked back.

I was waiting for that one

Oh my god if my childhood hero bought Bristol City I'd be in absolute dreamland

Looking forward to the bye more like No chance lightning strikes twice 34 shots to 2 whatever it was for Ipswich

I dread to think what the score would be if Manning had to put out this team

I can't believe you started your defence of his role as Tecknical Director with mention of something he did in an absolutely unrelated job 30 years ago

A lot of the 'no's' would keep us in the division though. I am mightily concerned that we will replace them with flakier players that is going to put us in threat of relegation No faith whatsoever in Tinnion and Manning

Out come the Bristolian Scousers and their

What other than the two guys with their arms raised?

Correctly ruled offside If it wasn't for the block the Chelsea guy is right there to head it clear Thats aside of the fact it's a foul too
