We've not been in the PL So out of interest, what was Bristol City Football Club doing for roughly 100 years before SKY invented football in 1992? Seeing as that when you seem to think it was invented. Christ, the Sheffield clubs must not have thumbs left, with the amount of thumb twiddling they did waiting for SKY to invent the game. And what a coincidence that so many (several hundred) teams were formed, all ready and waiting for the sport to be invented, and all calling the sport the same name!

Married XI must have triumphed....all those boring nights in watching soap operas, early nights (with just sleep involved!) - a bowl of Special K with chopped fruit on top provided by their devoted spouses for breakfast before their freshly ironed kit was handed to them as they walked out the front door after a loving peck on the cheek.....compared with the Singles XI who went straight out from work to the nearest watering hole to sink enough loopy juice to take down a medium-sized hippo before staggering to a late-night drinking den, eating a Kit-Kat on the way to line their stomachs before the second onslaught of industrial strength lager convinced them they could dance, then zig-zagging their way home before giving up and kipping on a park bench before waking up with a copper poking them with his truncheon (matron!) then straight from there to the match to be led a merry dance, by the fleet footed married winger called Derek with an immaculately coiffured side parting....

I have a feeling that Hulbert was stuck on 49 appearances for Swindon because they couldn't afford the 50 appearances clause in his contract, thus he came to us for a nominal or was to sit out his contract. I might have the wrong player, but it rings a bell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bramall Lane is the oldest GROUND still used for football. I also wondered who they played against - but I guess it would have been the public schools who adopted the Cambridge rules.........

Isn't that the ****** brothers celebrating winning promotion in August. Isn't it funny how fortunes have changed since that season. If there was one reason why I dislike them more than the sags then here you have it. I think the little 5hit chickened out of the return match knowing the reception he would've got on and off the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was at the end of his career but still quality playing that ring wing back role. We got two great Centre backs from them in Taylor and Flint but we also got Matt Heywood from them. Can’t get it right all the time! Same applies to Grant Smith as well - scored the winner in a friendly against the Gas but that’s about all he did for us!

Or is he likely to be in your plans for the season. Can see this as highly probable. Just can’t see him being anything other than a fringe player. For me he just doesn’t have enough attributes to be knocking on the managers door looking for a place in the starting eleven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember the last time he was presented with a decent chance to finish. Chucking him on with 15 to go and hitting long balls at him is incredibly unfair. We lack creativity in midfield, given a good chance I'm confident he'd be our best finisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
