Dear sweet Mebude

No need to sign Twine in the summer, can just force the opposition to create all our chances for us!!

That’s an absolute sitter

There’s another £50k on his fee!

That adds £50k to how much we sell him for in July

Piercy is the goat, no question!

Gregor was absolutely excellent too, I can’t believe fans didn’t see it. He really pushed and asked awkward questions we all wanted to hear the answers to. theres a reason why Winter himself got him involved at The Times after he went freelance!

Rumblings that Taunton Weston gonna be played at Yeovil

And they’re ran by someone so clueless, he genuinely said there is “no value in them having an academy”.

Arsenal Bayern has been one of the most breathless opening 35 mins of footy I can remember. Absolutely brilliant.

Not the biggest fan of Lounges, but think this is a real positive for the harbourside, decent food, somewhere actually dog friendly for a huge dog walking area, and will be a brilliant view for a breakfast/lunch/evening bite at the very least. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/bristol-restaurant-chain-lounges-could-9214332?fbclid=IwAR2NNatwOB4iA55ahv7GWHM-8ilL5TNr9SxQWA3NN3A2mQ1tct82678Sfko_aem_ASkPgpmHecmpq2RHfYXHGQksVCTlHFsvotESzkV32RnbRtz6zsBIImS9vF_-SvRGZzQ#lusq5tyjnjz6j4i7k3n

Southampton at home with a mention again. Good to see

Hes also giving it the big “I am” and “no football intellect” which is quite something, for a manager whose team were in a relegation scrap, so forced his team to walk onto the pitch barefoot to feel “at one with the pitch”, and also played nothing but Italian music at the training ground and only allowed players to eat Italian food in the week leading toward a game to make them “play Italian” and be harder to beat. Worked well for him.

Plymouth Parkway playing a home game at Manor Farm this week. Non-league man, it’s the best.

I honestly can’t believe Tom Gormidge hasn’t been sacked from that place. It’s truly hilarious the amount he’s overseen that continues to make them an absolute joke

To add to this, it’s his birthday today. Nothing of the usual birthday celebration post from the media team, told not to post anything….?

‘Probably’ ‘might’ = we had no intention of playing him regardless of what was happening. Glad that Piercy referenced those three, they were the three I’d brought up that made the whole signing make absolutely no sense regardless of loan or perm. All very odd. I see they’ve totally stopped mentioning the ‘visa issues’ too?

The amazing Sonny Stores in bemmy is having a revamp. They’re taking over the old Klastuerhause site in quarkers friar til finished.

Or Manning wants him to too, but the club (Tinnion) still won’t allow it. Not sure what would be worse.

It also doesn’t improve us, is my view. At the very best, he comes in and is as good as James which would be truly excellent. But that’s about it.

I’d make getting James to sign a new deal an absolute priority. But I can’t see it happening. Will be a monumental loss. As big as losing Scott/Semenyo imo.

Constant pain and stiffness in joints, can’t get in any run or flow of proper training. Nowhere near fit enough to be considered to even be in a u21 squad. But of course we won’t hear that from Tinnion. Pure speculation on my path, but it seems pretty well known that we passed on signing him in the summer, probably to do with this same problem. Scrap the manager and medical team who didn’t want to risk it, someone (Tinnion) wants to sign him so makes the call. Something like he has would be pretty clearly visible in the muscle and tendon scans done by a/the club doctor. Certainly looks like an egg on face move so far. But they will do what seems to be the Bristol City way atm: double down on covering it up with an explanation that makes no sense and everyone can see through.

A striker to replace outgoing Conway, probably another one on top that’ll be the ‘physical 9’ from abroad. Bird is James’ replacement, another CM probably needed on top as King is off & Murphy probably won’t be fit for the start of the season and no one has any idea how good he actually is yet. Need another backup to replace Bajic. An AM that isn’t Twine as I would be amazed if he comes back. Other than that, I really can’t see too much happening unless we sell more of the Crown Jewels again. I genuinely believe January was the bulk of the bigger summer business.

I think it’s the final point. “Really isn’t what they thought he was” is the verdict I have heard about him. A totally pointless signing, even if it is a loan, and a waste of everyone’s time really. Feel sorry for the lad.

I think anyone expecting wholesale changes to the squad over the summer are going to be pretty disappointed
