GrahamC Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) My wish is that the pandemic abates & I at least get to watch the rest of it in the stadium. This season has been no worse than loads of others in my 50 years of watching us, but not being able to go between March ‘20 & the start of this season, that was really shit. Yes, I do have a ST.

Happy Christmas everyone. Happy Christmas, I note, not Merry. Interesting. The use of "Merry" of course being associated with the lower classes and rowdy Christmases of ye olde Ingurlund and mediaeval mischief and 'ows yer father and all sorts of ribald midwinter carry on. Whereas "Happy" is yer refined upper echelons like yer Royal Family who wanted to set theirselves apart from ye scummy .... well, scum, to be plain. Anyway, moving on .... I always find 'Happy' Christmas somewhat precarious as a goal for a Bristol City supporter and beyond any possibility of control, whereas a 'Merry' one is always within reach (regardless of Chris Martin's this, Bakinson's that, or Nige's jurassic tendency to "set the team up" all wrong .... ). Shakin' Stevens had it right. And Noddy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang on Graham. I’ve seen far worse and even the McInnes era which some would argue was on a par to now, for me had less positives or reasons for optimism (Scott, Benarous etc) It’s not pretty at present. We aren’t an easy watch but it’s definitely been worse. Still puzzled by those who think we are going to become prime Barcelona over night. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

054123 Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 I think we’ve been as bad and struggling like this loads over the last 40 years. I think that there is so much focus on the football through more media, both social and corporate, that it’s seems more engrossing. Try to not over think it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malago Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 19 of the 25.years from 1982 to 2007 were spent in the lower leagues. Of the 15 seasons since then, 13 have been in the Championship. The football’s not great but we’ve been through far worse times. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pity the poor folk who have a season ticket. No matter how bad things are it can always get worse, of course it can get better as well. I and no doubt you have seen our club in the top div and the bottom div, we are about at the level we were around 50yrs ago but prob did have a better squad back then. I envy those well enough and able to attend regularly, I dont pity them, the div we happen to be playing in is not dependant on most fans support, other things beyond their control are.

HappyClapper Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 Totally agree. Going to Wembley almost certain that we would win certainly beats going to Cardiff to lose. (One for @GrahamC and @Robboredto argue over) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh1t_ref_again Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 Think we have had many worse teams and seasons, difference was back then you did not have social media or forums with constant moaning and attacking players when justified or not, making it feel worse than it actually is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
