I can assure you that he wasn't trying to claw back some of the £1.6m he'd lost during our brief flirtation in the toilet.

He lost £1.6m during your brief flirtation in the toilet?  What the hell went on in there, you pervert?!?

Hahah arabs losing!!!

Wonder if they kept the receipt!!!!

I give it "Ten Minutes" or so until this thread is invaded.  I thought I didn't care until I realised just how amused I was when they dropped out of the basement last year.

I was having this discussion with a Sag mate on Facebook last night...he is always very quick to bite and didn't disappoint when I commiserating them on narrowly missing out on taking Chesham to a shock replay!  My last comment in the thread sums up how I feel about them nowadays...

Naturally a little bit of context is missing, but you get the gist I'm sure: 

".......The original post was because despite the fact the Gash haven't been actual rivals for some fifteen or so years it still amuses me as much when they fail miserably as it does you when we fail. It just so happens that it hasn't occurred so much to us in comparison over the last two years. Are you telling me you'd keep your mouth shut if the shoe was on the other foot and city had lost at home to Chesham? Of course you wouldn't, and neither would I expect nor want you to. That's what the rivalry, such as it is, is about. As I was posting it I guessed you'd get the hump. It wasn't the point of me posting it. I'm a city fan with city mates who would share the humour, but I'll be bollocked if I'm gonna moderate my posting just so a few sensitive souls don't get upset! Do that, and the rivalry dies there and then. See ya tomorrow night! smile emoticon

Club ownership rules rule them out, surely?  

SL/Bristol Sport would not be permitted to own two clubs in the English professional game, regardless of how amateur we consider them to be!

So technically, he doesn't have previous.

Don't be silly....of course he has....to acknowledge that he doesn't means that we would have to drop our pitchfork mentality!!!

It goes to the court of appeal they have 21 days to do this, if it is turned down in the court of appeal that's the end of the road and it gets built

As the nimbys have form a plc they will simply bankrupt the company and be banned from directorship for 8 years

The only lose will be the Bristol tax payer

Also having worked on many major construction projects I can tell you most don't get finished on time

The gas simply ask to play their first 4 fixtures away from home or request us to share ( won't happen) bath or Cheltenham (both won't happen ether

The trouble with them playing their few 4 fixtures away is the logistical nightmare that it causes not only City, but Bristol Rugby as well, as it kinda forces us to be home for those first 4, which causes issues for POTD fans who can't shell out 100 in a month for match tickets.  The fixture list compilation is extremely complex as it is.  You add the rugby into the mix as well, and it all gets very messy.  Ground share with someone - not us - seems most likely I would say depending on how big a delay we're talking about here, unless they can reach an agreement with Sainsbury.

Agree his delivery is much better.  Disagree that we'd miss his height in the box.  For a big guy he's bleeding woeful in the air!

Keep him taking the corners, for sure.

If Jesus Christ signed for City, some people would still say he only got the job because of his Dad

Only if he was signed as a keeper....I hear he's static on crosses. 

Anyway - where did you hear that we were linked with him......?!?

Brilliant! What he did to Lennart Johansson will never be forgotten.

What did he do to it....I don't remember....!

Why should they?

Your company is in trouble and they ask you to tear up your contract and leave for nothing would you? or would you as I suspect fight for every penny you are owed?

It's a tricky one though and I don't think you can compare the "every man" to the footballer. I would want everything I'm owed because I earn in a year less than most of them earn in a week and therefore have a mortgage to pay. There is no excuse for a footballer at a decent level to have a mortgage. They could pay off my mortgage in two months. With that sort of money, if a footballer has a mortgage then they're bloody irresponsible with their money. Footballers live in completely different worlds to the most of us in my opinion. There is no exuse for a higher league footballer to ever live in poverty.

A World renowned expert in the sounds of European Wasps is walking down

the High St. one day when he spots an advert in his local record shop

for "Wasp sounds from around the Globe".

On further enquiry he discovers that a vinyl recording of this subject

has just been released and a few copies are available in store there and

then. Naturally, being a World renowned expert in the sounds of European

Wasps he is curious and asks the young chap behind the counter if he can

have a listen to "Wasp sounds from around the Globe".

A few seconds later the World renowned expert in the sounds of European

Wasps is standing at one of those little sound stations with his headphones

on and a puzzled expression on his face. He removes the Headphones, walks

back to the counter and catches the young sales persons attention.

"Excuse me" he says, "I'm A World renowned expert in the sounds of European

Wasps and I've just been listening to "Wasp sounds from around the Globe",

and I must say, there appears to be some mistake. Those are no Wasp sounds

with which I am familiar".

The young man dutifully checks the recording in question and assures the

World renowned expert in the sounds of European Wasps that he is indeed

listening to "Wasp sounds from around the Globe". Puzzled,the World renowned

expert in the sounds of European Wasps returns to the headphones and once

again begins to listen. After a few seconds he once again returns to the

counter and accosts the young fellow there.

"Excuse me" he says, "As I mentioned before, I am a World renowned expert

in the sounds of European Wasps and I've just been listening to "Wasp sounds

from around the Globe" and I have to say again, those are no Wasp sounds with

which I am familiar. Are you certain I have been listening to the correct

recording?"

Slightly exasperated by now, the young man checks the disc currently Playing

and with a slightly sheepish grin confesses: .

"Oops, sorry Sir, I seem to have played you the Bee side"

:coat:

Right Now? Mika - Grace Kelly (and the album is cracking too!)

Other than that, it's gotta be a bit of Bohemian Rhapsody...

And of course there's the guilty pleasures of B-52's - Love Shack and Good ol Chesney!

Apparently, The Verve's The Drugs Don't Work is officially and scientifically the most depressing song of all time!!

This is on account of the amount that it slows your heart rate etc. I'm so glad to see that our hard earned goes on meaningful research rather than ridiculous things like cures for cancer!!!!

But I agree anything by Cantplay and (not)Keane just sends me to the brink. Incidentally, are they like a Clark Kent/Superman duo...? Their "music" is identical (i often cant tell which is on) and i'm not sure they've ever been seen in the same place as each other... hmmm...

Or it could be a Milli Vanilli thing!!! (not)Keane miming to Cantplays songs!

Or it could be that they're both utter tripe!

Hey...can someone help me down off my soapbox please?

Anyone..?

Helloooooo?
