havanatopia Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 (edited) Once upon a time a small town of around 19,000 started a football team called the Spartan Club. According to rumours and recent history one might consider the club is returning to those humble beginnings, the original name perhaps sending a subliminal message to the more modern day incumbents that living within ones means or living as a small club with smaller ambitions is more realistic. A state of peculiar modern day prostration is no doubt causing an acute depression of spirits and spontaneous diarrhoea amongst many of the Swindle faithful and we, as fellow football fans, must not gloat but be sympathetic and be thankful (OK.. maybe not!!) that we, Bristol City, are a far bigger club with a far brighter future than little Spartan. ? City have met Swindle 99 times and have far the better record with 40 wins and 31 draws. Only 9 of those matches have not been league matches. I see that the two players, Masimo Luongo and Yasser Kasim, names that require a plummy mouth and a lisp respectively to say properly, are absent but the rather dirty and uneducated Thompson has had his red card rescinded. That will be a minor blow to City but, as we all say and dare to tempt fate, if we play our game we will not lose and surely that must ring true here. However, it is a 11 v 11 and on the day always difficult to predict. I will put my neck on the block and be the first to say that I think today we will win and win rather comfortably. 0-2 or perhaps 0-3 Good to see Wilbs bag both goals v the Wombles and I expect he will carry that through into this game and bag at least 1 with Agard and Freeman on the score sheet. U ridddddddzzzz. Edited November 15, 2014 by havanatopia Quote Link to comment
MoscowCider Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Beautiful day here in Sunny Moscow. My two year old is running round in his Bristol City kit. I'm showing him numerous clips of city banging in the goals. Matchday is always special, but this is a little bit different. These next 3 games will test our squad, will test our managers tactics but most of all I feel it will test us as fans. Lets back them to the hill. Win loose or draw we have to create an environment of no fear. We all know we are the best fans in the world. Lets show it. Everyone travelling today enjoy, drink lots and sing your hearts out. As for me, ill be in a Moscow pub listening on player, whilst the land lord serves me cider and tries to learn City songs! 3 Quote Link to comment

WhistleHappy Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 My thoughts go out to all who missed the game and remain surrounded by Swindoom fans at the station ...yeah, beware of the Magic Roundabout Crew if they show up, don't mess with Florence, Dougal or their main man Zebedee. (best way to deal with them is to call - Time For Bed ... Worth a try, might work good luck! ) 3 - 1 to the City! - COYPL's ! 1 Quote Link to comment
Manon Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 I know the longest uneaten run is 24 games, but am I right on saying there was also a record for lasting longest into a season which is somewhere mid november ish?? Can't remember the date, must be close now. Quote Link to comment

Swede Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 I can see a tighter game as its a derby with a large crowd by Swindon's standards but we are a completely different proposition to last season and I expect us to manage the situation far better. I am going for 3:1 City with Thomson sent off again. 1 Quote Link to comment

EstoniaTallinnRed Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 I know it's only around 0930 in Bristol, it;s almost 1130 here and a grey, dull day and only 4.5 c I think it's going to be a very close game and my predition is a 2-2 draw, however i will be listening to RB on my link and probably pacing up and down with nerves if we go 2-0 up. So have a good day all that are going and COYRs Quote Link to comment

Manon Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Longest unbeaten start record has been beaten and continues to be set. Hmmm, swear there was something I read about some sort of record in mid november. Maybe it was the previous league 1/third tier unbeaten record? Anyway, I'm not particularly confident today. Would be typical to lose our run to those chavs up the M4. Quote Link to comment

The Casual Connoisseur Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 It's beautiful and warm here, sun is blazing but the stifling morning heat is being toned down by a powerful breeze sweeping off the Atlantic. I'll be listening to player through the hotels wifi that you can pick up on the sparsly populated white sandy beach, caiprahinia in hand hopefully cheering on a city win. Quote Link to comment
