The Original OTIB

City about the same size as Cheltenham. Quite remarkable really.

Now that is front foot football.

I don't think Conway is good enough yet, sorry to say it but I think he'd be really found out against the defenders in Scotland's group.

Does not work consistently hard enough in my view and positional play needs work. A raw talent, but can improve certainly.

I know it seems unlikely based on results but I wonder if anyone else thinks if McKenna departs to Brighton whether ipswich might come in for Manning. 

I know it appears very unlikely based on form and reputation but it would be a very similar appointment in terms of profile and way of working. 

A good left field bet ? Or is my post season imagination running away with me !

Next England manager odds ? .....

It is going to be so funny when Crawley turn over the s*gs next season.

Creepys v Crawley.

They do. I mentioned on this thread how you would always see him at away games and for sometime (completely wrongly and with utmost respect to both gentleman) thought he was Bristol Boy!
 

He would sometimes get in the old supporters club in The Grandstand, my old man used to like to chat with him as we were making a very similar journey for home games. 
 

Yes time does fly. 

Had time for everyone, a great gift.

Martin was beyond all of us. He followed City home and away for more than 50 years while living in South London. He was so positive and brought City fans together at away games all over the country. I spent hours with him on trains and night buses. He loved his friends and family and was chatting to me during 99% of my abysmal match reports. The best City fan ever.

 

 

Two years tomorrow since he left us, as I recall. Time flies but the memories remain.

It’s astounding that we had so much hope for so many of these players. 

Hope? Where does one obtain this mythical thing?

Is this the most bizarre topic ever? 
 

We have Shelton’s Bum Gravy, Tinnion’s Turnips and Barnards Bumhole discussing loins. With zero context. 

I’m absolutely fascinated to see where this goes. 

We don't do egos and we don't do logic.

There must be a better angle than that, and better camera work.

Nice local south away game too

Will they ever have 4 sides though?

Kane must be fuming.

We talk about SAF, Pep and Klopp. But you could make a very good case that Ancelotti may be the greatest manager of all time.

Very good case, likeable too.

What an almighty **** up.

Take off your top scorer in a semi final, bonkers.

Really poor from Tuchel.

and that.

Talk about lucky, keeper blunder then this. Kane off, game over bar miracles.

Birmingham is most definitely not in the Black Country.

Pretty black in mood today.

Big old bonus for Ashton.

Szmodics scores his second

What a season.

Stoke simply more decisive going forward, nothing too intricate, just get your shots off and on target.

Their manager bound to say "It's been coming". Our HC less likely.

Leicester 0-1 Blackburn (Szmodics)

Where will Szmodics be next season, I wonder.

Turning into spectators on the pitch now. 

Twine misses again
