Never to the dark side Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 When Lord Nelson lined up at the battle of Trafalgar against the combined Navy's of the French and Spanish. Nelson decided to go straight through the French and Spanish, broadside. Firing all guns from both sides of his ships. Let's hope the City players can do a reenactment this afternoon.

pongo88 Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Good plan @Never to the dark side but remember what happened to Horatio Nelson. He was shot and in the hour of victory he said the famous words “Kiss me Hardy”. I can’t imagine LJ, if he collapsed through excitement and was lying on the pitch, saying “Kiss me Scotty” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Nelson is a pub in Churchill. Churchill was a British Prime Minister, during the war. During the war was the catchphrase of Uncle Albert, whose show was filmed at Ashton Gate Also a Prime Minister is Mrs May. May sounds like Kay , and Vernon Kay is from Bolton.

Never to the dark side Posted January 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Nelson was shot by a sniper, not sure if it was a french or Spanish sniper. Did the Surgeon dig the ball out from Nelson and see if it said "made in Spain" or "made in France" Having said that according to the film Waterloo One of Wellington's upstarts said to Wellington Thiers Napoleon, can I take a pot shot at him sir? Certainly NOT said Wellington Well Christopher Plummer said it anyway. If its good enough for the Sound of Music its good enough for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Dazzler Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 The back page headline on this weekend's Bristol Post is (alongside a picture of LJ seemingly talking in to an invisible mobile phone) "No Room For Complacency". I can't bring any examples to mind, but I seem to remember that, with Bristol City, if there is any talk of avoiding complacency prior to a fixture where there is a general expectation of a win, we invariable see a poor performance and result that has a "we just had to turn up to win" attitude all over it. Just by talking about not being complacent, is the management team sowing the seeds of complacency, that the players never had in the first place? It just seems to happen every time.

Would that have been pronounced "Ray-doo-ta-blay" back in the day by the French blokes?? Je suis juste un peu curieux, mon ami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight through the Bolton defence A team that are the lowest scorers in the Championship at seventeen(17) goals Bearing in mind how mamby pandy thr rules on tackling are today, won't we get a lot of red cards if we fire guns at them from both sides? And how do we get the guns in to the Lansdown and Dolman , without peeing off the stewards? All very well for Nelson, but did he have a proper Risk Assessment or was his arm bent?

Admiral Blake did, who was Nelson's hero. Also born in Bridgewater. At the moment it seems like we are firing blanks. Admiral David Beatty's quote at Jutland 'there is something wrong with our strikers today' springs to mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
