It's not like they've gone to Man City, Spurs, Utd etc. And we're 'celebrating' the fact that our homegrown talent has to join these clubs like them to progress. That's why it's embarrassing. Not exactly celebrating, but happier that they have gone on to the Prem. Plus , it's not embarrassing at all. Those teams have got to the Prem on more than one occasion, that is the major difference and something we can strive for. We were competing with them both for the last couple of years, the main difference is they have had a few years near the top of the Championship and higher over the last few years. This is our 3rd year here, missed a trick last year but we are still playing catch up with Fulham and Cardiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re misunderstanding the point. I’m not angry at selling Joe to the PL I’m angry at announcing it in a juvenile, tinpot way - like I said, complete failing on the part of whoever is paid to do this shite to read the room.

McNasty Filth Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 Wtf is that gif all about. A total embarrassment. Like people say, it ain't exactly Liverpool or manure is it! Twitter ain't working for me at the mo, so I'm just presuming we're trending for being a pure laughing stock of a club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me that GIF is a perfect example of the small time mentality holding the club back... Yes putting it like that, it hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to let go of, I'm happy Joe has got a decent move and the club has got some dosh out of it rather than potentially nothing in 5 months time.

Galling, really. I know it goes against our model but to me we need something to raise the spirits. A marquee signing of some sort- subject to budget of course.Maybe offer Sheff Wed a loan offer with us paying the wages and a loan fee of say £2m for one of their saleable assets. For a while I was pondering whether the marquee signing idea could be Vydra but of course he's gone to Burnley. Because they (Sheff Wed) need the money- and we need a lift as fans IMO.

sh1t_ref_again Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 Great move for Joe and good luck, hope he does well for Fulham. Really pleased he ditched ville as would not be happy selling to club in same division, very funny reading the ville's forum as they can't understand why he would go to a smaller club like Fulham, perhaps they are still living in the past and not noticed which league they are in.

That’s two of our key players moved on to better things and were actively celebrating it through official club media? Embarrassing. Hahahahah you’ve just got to laugh haven’t you, im assuming the GIF was filmed in preparation for the move too ? Class only at Bristol City ay.

samo II Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 Gutted he’s gone, but can’t begrudge someone who has been a decent servant to the club a shot at the Premier League. All the best to the lad; hopefully the next time we have a top-level quality left back come through the ranks, they’ll get the chance to impress on that stage for us. Over to you, Mr Kelly...

Dan Robin Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 Disappointed by his refusal to sign a new contract,but when PL calls... Oh well,at least it's not Cardiff...and having another Academy player ready to step up make this transfer less bitter than the other two,from my perspective.

Complete and utter failing of whoever is in charge of this shite to understand the feeling of the fans - completely detached from the real world. I knew as soon as I saw it that some people would hate it, which is fine. But in this very thread you’ve got people voicing a different opinion to you, so to say it’s a “complete and utter failing” of someone who’s “completely detached” is a little bit of a reach. Plus I highly doubt they made it specifically. It says “goal” at the start for one. Everyone at the club will have done a few before the season started, and it just so happened that Joe’s totally fitted the situation with the Villa/Fulham “to me, to you” sketch (RIP Barry) so they saw an opportunity and ran with it. He’d already been trending on Twitter, and - in some ways - it actually would’ve been remiss of the social media manager to not get involved with and take advantage of a big story on social media. At this moment in time it’s got 903 retweets and 2667 likes. That’s literally the job of the social media side of the club. Get some engagement; get some exposure. If the tea lady made a cup of tea with more sugars than you like, or the wrong kind of milk, I doubt you’d give a slimy rat’s nasal hair. Its only aim is to get a bit of an impact on Twitter. That’s it. Doesn’t affect the rest of the club, or the standing of the club, or the standard of any bricks (plaques?) in walls (on huts?) in the fan village (by an undefined area above some concrete, given a sense of importance due to the arbitrary naming of it and the presence of humans with apparent free will to go wherever they like so with no requirement to remain locked into this vision of a “village” anyway?). I got carried away there, but the point is it doesn’t matter. All they’ve done is their job. Feel free to hate it, and you may even hate the fact that such a job exists in the first place, but there’s nothing “complete and utter” about it, really.
