Gosh. An owner actually being candid and honest about the reasons for dismissing a manager.

Nothing wrong with Pick n Mix either

Quite agree - I'm still mourning the loss of Woolworths! 

Travelling around Bristol regularly as I do, you rarely see sags, full stop. 

I think they did used to hide out in places like Yate, but I've genuinely no idea where their "stronghold" is now, if they in fact have one.

I was working at Renishaw for a few months recently and went past this twice a day. It looked nice but was never open or I'd have thought about stopping for a coffee or something!

Was shut for a while then taken over by new owners, I believe. It is decent tbf.

I do frequent Boswell’s sometimes for lunch. But I only do takeaway. I don’t like to sit inside with the other mutants.

I have taken KITR to the Vintage Birdcage in Charfield, which he enjoyed. But he did seem very twitchy and out of his comfort zone. You see, as he’s a resident of Long Ashton, he seemed like he was half expecting someone in the cafe to be shouting obscenities, drinking cider so cloudy you couldn’t see the brewers foreskin in there, and for a disturbance to occur between a group of teen moms. So the next time he visited he preferred to stay in my house for a cuppa instead. 

And very nice it was too! Very much looking forward to my next visit mate...and to casa Harold of course!

Unfortunately said poster, who was once quite respected, has gone down a bit of a rabbit hole recently. He’s feeling a bit tender as his last two proclamations have not really gone how he said which kind of lessened his credibility and he’s struggling with that.

He’s been facepalming any valid criticism of Liam for some time. It’s all a bit odd. But, to take his own advice “He may benefit from a bit of time away from the forum”, particularly as he’s now calling fellow city fans mutants.

Just all a bit sad.

 

Mutant!

Warning: lots of swearing 

Wow a tongue in cheek response to BCR and the mutants of Yate unite  

The town centre is a big success story and the residents love it.

Glad to hear it's more red than blue these days... 

Very sad news. Spent some time with Clarky on tour in Sri Lanka and last saw him in Mumbai 2016. Ran the Corridor of Uncertainty fanzine and sold tour t shirts too. Always "kept it real" away from the commercialised Barmy Army.

RIP Clarky

Yes going with 3 mates 

will come and say hello if I see you in there before the set starts 

gonna check out that Detroit style pizza place upstairs in renatos before the gig

think they used to do it out of a hatch in the orchard years back. Never had it but heard good things and a bit different to all the other sourdough stuff most places are doing these days (although no complaints with sourdough pizzas) 

Nice one mate, hopefully will remember what you look like. Been a while since Nice

Must admit it did not.

Went with my wife rather than with a big group. Ordered a fair few dishes but the aubergine didn’t jump out on paper over some of the others we ordered.

the octopus was one of best dishes I have eaten in Bristol though.

we also didn’t order any desert as the wife has no sweet tooth so we often skip it and just get a couple extra dishes earlier in meal 

I do like a desert tho so will save space for it next time 

Agree on the pulpo. Make sure you try the aubergine next time. 

Are you going Sprints next week? Should meet for a cider!

They punch above their weight by keeping getting promoted to the Championship.  Just not a very big club. 

Not sure why it's sad the administrators are in? Surely it's good news the club is no longer in the hands of Clarke Osborne.

Done. 
Keep politics out of sport. 

Nice sentiment but politics and sport have always been intrinsically linked. And will continue to be...

You reds!

I think your second team will do it 

Maybe they're his third team after the Seagulls W-S-M, who knows?

I hope Man City win their 4th title in a row because of comments like this. 

And because you support Man City.

Had both funnily enough as part of 9 dishes, but the pulpo a la Gallega octopus and tortita de camarones blew my little mind, especially the latter. Genuinely never eaten anything like that in the UK. Wine list is also extremely good, my Mrs has no interest in wine but she loved everything, La Mar 2021 and Samerias 2018 in particular. Top gaff that.

Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, they've been doing the tortilitas de camarones for a few years now. Perfect appetiser with a glass of fino.

It is, but that’s a huge shame. Can’t be cost related as Tare is fully booked all night every night consistently. Sigh. 

Off to Marmo again next Saturday in happier news!

Apparently not. The owners have said the reason they're closing is that it's not financially viable in the week. 

There is a trend away from taster menu's to small plates, so seems they're following that model. 

Enjoy Marmo.

Went to Gambas in Cargo this week, wow, literally the best seafood I've eaten in the UK. Pricy as mind.

Went here a few weeks back and it we really good 

went to Gambas a couple of months back and thought that was great too.

Gambas prob edged it if I had to pick a winner 

Well, I've made my feelings on Gambas clear in the past!

Question is, did you have the fried aubergine with molasses and/or goxua dessert? Two of the finest dishes in Bristol!

Wtf!!!!

Gonna concentrate on Tare Bistro which also looks great tbf

Tare closing permanently in June @petehinton

Looked a different team tonight without Haaland.  Foden as the main man came up with a master class performance.

 

Yea I watched the second half. It was like watching a proper Pep team again!

Foden was immense. Southgate does need to ensure him and Bellingham play in that midfield together for England

End of an era in a way  for BBC cricket .

At 64 he probably has reached the age where the BBC move people on although he is staying on TMS for 4 years 

One of the best is Aggers. I guess one of our own Simon Mann will be one of those to step up. 

Injuries.

Not helped by the alleged misdiagnosis he recieved by our medical team, only picked up by Bournemouth at his medical. 

Nearly cost the club our largest ever transfer fee, but no biggie.

Financially it's better for the Club to stay in this league, as there are more ' local' sides to play against, and they bring a bigger following. 

Not just that. It's the expense and time of getting the team to the other side of the country. Players and staff with jobs that can't take time off work etc

It's probably good that clubs understand "their level". 

Then you get clubs like Bitton that overspend by trying to keep up and land themselves in a load of financial trouble.

I’m really not sure that’s true in the case of Chelsea.

The Abramovich era definitely hasn’t been properly investigated yet.

He was basically Putin’s money launderer, every trophy they won in his time is tainted.

I think you're raising a different point, Graham. You are talking about WHERE the money came from at Chelsea, and obviously I agree it was from dubious sources. And really the Premier League allowing Abramovich to buy Chelsea has led to all the problems we have now. As once you let one suspect owner in, the floodgates open. And boy, didn't they. 

But in the majority of the time he owned Chelsea there was no limit to spending, hence he was able to buy as much silverware as he did. 

Man City signed up to spending rules and limits and have allegedly systematically breached them for a number of years. 

Notwithstanding where their money comes from, that is clearly a different scenario to the Chelsea situation. 

Though in time, we will see if Chelsea do breach the rules. I can't imagine they can afford to be out of the Champions League for too much longer.

Two years ago .. All day long.  Kane now at City? There are things Haaland does Kane can't.

And that's my point.

I'd say the main thing Haaland can do over Kane is use his pace to latch onto through balls, however Man City have stopped playing to that strength of his this season, for some reason. It means Haaland and Man C have been less effective as a result.
