I think Joe Williams is our best footballer. Shame injuries have impacted his career with us so far. Our best passer of the ball.

Wait till he signs the 2 year contract, then we’ll see the real deal ?

I cannot believe that by now Referrees are aware of the diving that goes on? There centre was a great hulk and just threw himself to the floor. Its a dive, not a foul. I would love to see them watch games back and honestly critique their performance

Have you not heard Dave ask a question??

I know what @Marina's Rolls Roycemeans. It’s a chance to guarantee 3 pts fir us and 0 for Reading who are in our close vacinity

Our sub conscious works in mysterious ways!

I’m quite enjoying this now. The two situations are different, but your general points are understandable. The truth is nothing is going to change this season. If by October this year the points return and inconsistencies are the same, so imagine Pearson will be gone. Then somebody new can be appointed that people can argue over ?

@Shtanley @petehinton @Olé And Dave and Harry and everyone else. This is my favourite City pod, this is another great episode. Relatable, interesting contributors. Enjoyable content. 3 favourite things today. ‘Zoomy Zoomy’ ‘Reading are in free for all’ ’**** me 3 minutes in…..’ ?

No! Pearson out! ??

? We we’re leading Wolves on Boxing Day, having been to the league cup semi final and beating 4 premiership teams along the way. We finished 11th? What am I missing?

No, I mean everything needs context. Im amazed that being top on Boxing Day but then shitting out and finishing 11th is deemed as successful? I’d question the leadership skills of anyone who took solice in that. That is not a winners attitude. We then shit out again the next year and threw away our playoff chances. I’m probably wrong, but I’m sure we were just 3 points off of third in the February of 2020!!! This has been done to death, but for me capitulating as we did, season after season, is repeated failure. In my opinion it is a defeatist attitude that would claim otherwise.

Probably ? I never fell for the whole 11th to 8th was progress bit. Both seasons we completely fell away. In context we failed. History now though.

The Rob Newman podcast was really interesting. We’ll worth a listen

I like the podcast. I enjoy most City content. None of them are perfect, although OSIB is almost imperfectly perfect ? The sound quality is the thing that lets it down.

Come on. Did nobody else enjoy the comic element of it? When Ian made that comment without any nuisance or irony or any attempt of illicit a response among listeners, I just burst our laughing. I know he can be very rude but does nobody else take it with a pinch of salt? I quite enjoy the podcast

I’d have got rid of Mark Ashton It’s a really good point. Something needed to change.

I would have changed Johnson at the end of 18/19. To my mind that is the mistake. We waited too long.

17/18 we finished 11th!! I don’t think people realise just exactly how bad that is in context. Listening to Rob Newman talk about watching us against his then club Man City and basically saying how on earth did that team not win automatic promotion. I’m still in on the current plan but there has to further improvement. If come October there are still the same problems with the team then you have to consider change.

I agree with this. My concern this year is that many goals are the result of individual error, not necessarily the system. Yes we have got it wrong some times, but so many goals are down to just poor individual performance.

Ahh, good old division 3. Our natural home. No board has ever really felt comfortable higher up ?

Nigel Pearson’s fault for me. The sooner we bring in Ryan Lowe and give him 20m the better ?

We do concede some ridiculously soft goals.

No, if your genuine point is ‘should we have played better than we have done today’.

Yep, sounds poor all around today. Sack the board ??

Come on, it’s alright. I know you don’t like Pearson and don’t want him here. I don’t think you’re any less of a city fan for having that opinion. It is funny though.
