BS4 on Tour...

Hi mate, I remember us having to wear blue shirts away at Northampton in the Scott McGarvey days - but did we really wear blue against Orient? Can’t recall that?!

Ninian Park - my last five visits there saw us win five times ... brill days out - but walking out after the games was an adventure, the police seemingly had no interest in protecting away fans from the inevitable onslaught ... Ninian Park, a proper away day ...

What a clown! Proving, once again, you know nothing about football ...

It’s interesting how the word ‘woke’ in a forum post triggered you right there ... perhaps that says a lot about you ... and is any of it good?!

Why is that? ‘His’ record is totally uninspiring - so why are you so opposed to Lampard?

@Philly The Kid - wow, an early “laugh” emoji response to the post - you obviously don’t want success either - like most of the ‘lets just consolidate in the championship and shut up’ brigade ...

Yep - go with the young progressive, inexperienced manager, the one who knows all the trendy modern ‘go ahead’ football terms like ‘introverted full backs’ and ‘false number 9’ - he or she will be the one to bring us success??!! Or we could just go with a proven, experienced, knowledgeable, gnarly, successful guy and say ‘bollox to the woke brigade nonsense’ - a proper football man who will get us to the place we want to go - Neil Warnock ...

Wow, so having diagnosed someone’s mental health online (with your extensive experience) you then talk about Ipswich getting to a division that doesn’t exist - every proper football fan knows the name of the top tier in this country - but you don’t ...

I haven’t given up! Neil could be 92 and I’d still call for his appointment ... - all joking aside, our club has always seemed strangely scared of actually ‘making it’ - since Steve Coppell we’ve appointed a string of managers that no-one has really heard of, or thought of as being managerial material - hence the predictable lack of progress - we’ve had a born winner staring us in the face on a few occasions but we’ve been scared to appoint him. Warnock, no one in the game has more promotions on their CV than him - and he’s often mentioned us as a club he’d be interested in managing - and, having spent a couple of hours in his company in a pub in Cornwall, I can only say, what a guy, what a genuine bloke - he cannot believe how all the prats (there’s plenty on here) fall for his pantomime villain routine which is well-practiced and obviously designed to mislead the media and deflect any attention away from his players - wherever he has been. How people still fall for that is just amazing. Still, you’re probably right, we’ve had the chance to appoint the guy, who holds the record for the most promotions ever, on several occasions - but, being Bristol City, we preferred to go with the likes of (in no particular order) Keith Millen, Lee Johnson, Dean Holden, Derek McInnes, Sean O’Driscoll, John Pemberton ... Cotts was the exception and he gave us an incredible season that I won’t ever forget - but that was still only in division 3 ... we’ve now binned the guy who laid the foundations for Leicester City’s epic Premier League Champions season - he signed Riyad Mahrez for £450k and he spent a whole Sunday afternoon at Jamie Vardy’s house persuading him to sign for Leicester instead of Blackburn - shades of Brian Clough - Nigel Pearson - a great manager - I’ll miss him ...

I think you may have confused yourself - above is your reply to someone who said they won’t be going to the next match ... ... then your reply to another poster, above, totally contradicts that - saying people should stay away ... otherwise they support the sacking of NP ...

Neil Warnock please - unrivalled record of getting teams promoted - he’d get us charging to the premier league very quickly, then we could pay him the bonus he deserves to retire in Cornwall and appoint a manager who could cope with the premier league ...

... because it’s the home of football, an iconic, historic arena - both England and opposition players dream of playing there so why deny them that honour? Thought you may post a miserable post though, aren’t you the archetypal armchair fan who posts relentlessly on match day threads but never attends games? Apologies if that is incorrect but your posting output during games is prolific ...

Ah, ok, I didn’t realise that. Therefore I apologise to @Bristol Oil Services - I got it wrong, sorry all

Fair enough, you could be right, but I reckon @Bristol Oil Services wrongly assumed AFC Bournemouth is plying its trade in the Championship this season. I also reckon the Cherries will be fine though because Sheffield Utd, Hatters and Burnley may well all perform worse than Bournemouth this season - but I bet they are regretting getting rid of our old stalwart Gary O’Neill as gaffer though ... even if they will probably stay up simply because other sides aren’t as good as them ...

How exactly are AFC Bournemouth ‘chasing promotion’?? Aren’t they in the premier league? Where do they go when ‘chasing promotion’ from the premier league?

This was on Talksport earlier today - Simon Jordan talking about that Freddie Sears ‘ghost goal’ against us - at least he admitted he’s basically grown up since his reaction to that incident when he demanded a replay. I like Simon Jordan, he’s a fine pundit and making his recent personal health struggle public to try and alert and help others was admirable. ... but I did smile at his reaction to Jim White suggesting our Mr Lansdown is more wealthy than SJ in this vid:

Aside from the fact you look a bit silly now, why the obsession with Lee Johnson? He’s not even our previous manager!!! Anyone could say City fans would react badly to that performance if it had been under Lumsden, Jordan, Smith, Cooper, Osman, Tinnion etc - but so what? Why the obsession with LJ? We’ve just won an away game in, arguably, the fifth best division in the world ... cheer up ...

FBC? Apologies if I’ve missed something here - but in the places I’ve worked FBC is full blood count - as I said, sorry Dave but what does it mean here?!

Nope - someone saying we ‘repeatedly’ have ‘early morning’ kick offs versus the welsh clubs suggests our games kick off between 8am and 10.30am - games that kick off after 12 noon cannot be ‘repeatedly’ described as ‘early morning’ kick offs - I don’t know why some try to exaggerate simple restrictions ...

When have we had “early mornings” kick offs vs our two Welsh counterparts? Please accept my apologies if I’m incorrect but I can’t remember “repeatedly” kicking off in the “early morning” vs Bluebirds and Swans - I may be wrong ...

Legendary manager - record number of promotions on his CV that probably won’t be surpassed - incredible ability - eg, took over as Cardiff manager when they were in the relegation places in the championship - took them to a top ten finish that season then promoted them to the premier league the season after. Anyone who doubts his ability in the championship clearly doesn’t know what it takes ... I’ve always said, he ain’t a premier league manager, but if you want to get there, employ him ... Lansdown’s apparently petty dislike of him may well have cost us serious progress - make no mistake, Neil Warnock is a born winner, and the most successful manager ever, in terms of promotions ...

I’m a bit too nostalgic where that’s concerned; rather like The Colston Hall, I still refer to that stand as its previous name, The Williams - perhaps because when I was queuing through the night for play off tickets in 1988, dear old Des Williams turned up with a pot of tea and walked down the line pouring cups to keep us going - an absolute gent and as important to our history as people like Beryl Fudge etc ...

That quote was from a few years ago ... but it still showed them up ...??

Mate, you know I think the world of you - but ‘after 5 rounds’ - are we in America? What next? ‘Game day 7’? ‘Match up number 11’? ‘The Robins at The Tigers’?! Help!

LJ was 9 years old when John Beck was appointed manager of Cambridge and he was 11 years old when Beck was dismissed, so surely it’s highly unlikely that a lad at that tender age would be worried about ‘marginal gains’ etc?!
