  1. The only way to have consistent internet speeds is to go with Virgin Media cable. ADSL (all the other providers) is a lucky bag of usage/line quality/and (in some cases) throttling. My only beef is why the Monopolies Commission (or whatever its current incarnation is called) allows Virgin Media to have a national monopoly on cable broadband. If Virgin Media were forced to compete with other providers, I'm sure their broadband prices would be much cheaper.
  2. I don't get the support for Warnock. The bloke has proved time and again that he a merely a mouthpiece and loves the media. I don't personally know the bloke, but from his body language and his public interviews, he doesn't impress me and I don't warm to him..
  3. We should've signed Nigel Adkins when he was sacked by Southampton last January, instead of signing O'Driscoll....
  4. ATTENDANCE vs. GATE: When I were a lad, they never used to quote the "attendance", it was always termed "the gate", which I assumed was the number of people through the turnstiles. Subtle difference IMO.
  5. Holloway can't possibly be given the job - the appointment would be too divisive amongst fans... the Board cannot risk alienating sections of the fans when they have already aliented a large portion by their mismanagement of the club and their incompetence in allowing the club to slide to the depths it has - Holloway would be too risky... Personally, I think he is an overrated charlatan who loves the sound of his own voice, and he doesn't fit my criteria of a manager who would be good for BCFC...
  6. Holloway is not the answer... the man is a publicity-loving goofball...
  7. Good riddance - all we need now is the board to resign too...
  8. This is what I call a Bristol City kit. What's wrong with this? Traditional, neat and... well, perfect!
  9. Awful shirts. It actually looks like the bits on the sleeves were sown on as an afterthought. Whatever happened to the traditional red shirt with white piping?
  10. And? I was merely trying to point out that the original stats can be made to look less impressive, and the points projection less favourable...
  11. Stats can be manipulated to support any side of an argument. If you compare like for like and compare Millen's 12 league games at the start of the season with McInnes' last 12 league games (or our current form, if you prefer), the results are much closer: Millen W1 D3 L8 6pts from 12 = 0.5/game McInnes W3 D2 L7 11pts from 12 = 0.92/game Projecting our current form over the 15 games remaining gives a return of 13.75pts (let's be generous and say 14 points) That's only a total of 45 points and while I think that may probably be enough, I'm still of the opinion it will go to the wire. I think a lot depends on whether McManus can improve our form and patch the defence to concede less.
  12. Noble was MoM for me - and I didn't understand the substitution either, especially when Johnson was having a 'mare.
  13. That's because he was one of our better players who was ruthlessly fed to the wolves by Tinnion.
