There was a load of them during the Lee Johnson/Mark Ashton years. They were allowed to sign more players than any managers before and any managers since. Add Jack Challis, Kodi Lyons Foster, Shabazz Omofe, Denis Begovic, Ivan Lucic, Freddie Hinds, Gustav Engvall, Rory Holden, Hakeeb Adelukan, Mo Eisa, and Jonny Smith to the list of pointless signings. If they’d put that money towards one or 2 decent signings then the 1st team may have actually improved a bit. Some might say they were low risk gambles that could have paid off big time but half of them aren’t even in the professional game anymore despite still being in their 20’s. Fingers crossed Adam Murphy and Josh Stokes aren’t more names to add to the list.

Cor in bedminster?

Went to pasture for a roast yesterday. Was thoroughly enjoyable. Scotty Murray walked in with a lady friend not long after us. Looked as if he was keeping an eye on the Liverpool game as was on his phone half the time

Malaga CF released their 120th anniversary shirt this morning and it’s sold out in no time. Looks great

They were going to bring out an Adam Murphy range but it’s gone missing. The Scott Twine range looks good but it’s unavailable.

I believe they’ve whittled it down to about 4 locations now. Marlow obviously being one of them. They struggled to get vendors for Bath last year. Nowhere near as many as the previous year. Such a shame. May try to get to the Marlow one next year. Always had the best restaurants/chefs and music acts compared to the other locations.

Gutted that Pub in the park isn’t coming back to Bath anymore. Really enjoyed that the last few years.

I like Phil. His series has certainly made me want to visit places I’d not really thought of going to before. As mentioned before, Lisbon looks incredible and I’ll get there in the future. In the new series, Edinburgh and Washington DC look great. I loved Bourdain. Thought he was so cool. His series were a bit more political and highlighted the negative affects that tourism had on places. Made me not want to visit the places he’d been to He obviously had his own demons and that made him come across like he was a glass half empty kind of guy. Somebody feed Phil is a bit more cheerful but I’d probably rather sit and listen to Bourdain talk in his unique style.

Lisbon is high on my list purely down to the series “Somebody Feed Phil” on Netflix. He also ate at Ponto Final. Looked incredible. If you’ve not seen the series, at least have a look for that Lisbon episode. Certainly looks like a foodies heaven over there

Glad you enjoyed it. I’ve certainly never left there feeling I could eat a bit more. We usually end up with lots of aligot left over as everybody usually wants 1 to themselves even though the waiting staff do suggest that 1 between 2 is plenty . Their little shop & pantry at the end of the road does some pretty fantastic sandwiches, burgers, cakes and pastries too which I’d definitely recommend if in the area and peckish.

How was littleFrench @Kid in the Riot ?

The chocolate mousse is fantastic. The crème brûlée too. I’ve had cote de boeuf, trout, lamb and hake in there. They change the menu quite a bit. None of them disappointed. The aligot and pomme frites are great sides. Usually have the scallops to start as they never disappoint. The wine list is great also. Be interesting to hear your thoughts once you’ve been.

That’s a shame. If Sam from pasture rates it then it must be decent. Got a roast booked in at pasture in a couple of weeks. Can’t wait. littleFrench is my favourite restaurant in Bristol. Been 4 times. Love it in there. Enjoy.

I did think after posting that someone might question the monkey wrap Monkey Wrap An open roti wrap with succulent, charred tandoori chicken, jewels of pomegranate, spinach, mint & that crazy rainbow of homespun Mowgli chutneys.

How did Condesa go mate?
