Just found this on the Sunderland forum; https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/premier-league-eyeing-up-abolishing-points-deductions.1631030/ Basically want to scrap points deductions as per title and introduce a luxury tax. If that happens it'd provably result in the PL becoming a two horse race each year between the two state owned clubs. And would make a bit of a farce of the PL as a sporting competition. It would likely widen the already huge gap between the top and bottom clubs.

From the Sunderland forum. The line in bold type sounds like City. https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/safc-losing-100’s-of-1000’s-every-week.1630984/ Just curious as to how/why we’re losing (reports I’ve seen £300k a week) and how it would compare to others. Practically every club is a basket case in the championship, the majority hope to sell at least one player for a large sum to cover most of the costs and keep within FFP or as close to as possible. You will find that clubs who have gone for it this season (and don't go up) will cut costs like crazy next season and it can take a few seasons before they are ready to challenge again.

For years if not decades Brentford, Brighton and Bournemouth were all (seemingly) consistently in Div 3. It doesn't seem that lo g ago Brighton travelled to Hereford on the last day of the season knowing whoever lost would be dropping into the Conference (as was). Now those three Bs are settled Prem clubs.

The Plymouth forum announced the sacking at 6.45pm and they're on the whole, happy about it. https://pasoti.co.uk/threads/ian-foster-sacked-confirmed.127640/

That's ITV 4. As Southside said ITV 1 five past midnight.

On their forum tonight; https://pasoti.co.uk/threads/bristol-city-post-match-round-up.127638/

Every silver lining has a cloud. City could have climbed one place higher over Cardiff today, but having taken the lead, Coventry scored two own goals.

A workmanlike team performance AGAIN. Max looked unflappable and after the first 20 mins, City had control of the game.

They should have kept their 1898 shirts; that would have been more visible; http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Plymouth_Argyle/Plymouth_Argyle.htm

OK; City grew into that. PAFC no longer have the monopoly of winning 50/50 balls and the Ref currently seems even handed. As for the shirts; the manufacturers insist on clubs wearing the away shirt on so many occasions to encourage fans to buy that as well as the home shirt.

Quarter of the game gone; 1; the Ref appears to allow some shoving & pushing. 2; Argyle are winning every 50/50 ball.

http://www.fawanews.com/Plymouth Argyle vs Bristol City.html this is OK and ad free.

As so often in the last few season, oppos break down their left wing, City's right to get their crosses in. Why can't City wear red today?

11.15 Tuesday morning.

http://www.fawanews.com/Plymouth Argyle vs Bristol City.html is working for me.

If this did turn out to be true, can it be backdated please so that City are awarded so many penalties the Refs missed.

Differing views from the Green Army ahead of this game; https://pasoti.co.uk/threads/argyle-v-bristol-city-the-build-up.127606/ Liam Manning & Scott Twine fill me with dread. Their last visit to the Theatre of Greens was a day to forget for our beloved club. Be interesting to see who will be given the task of stopping Twine & quick feet Mehmeti. They Played For Both Kieran Agard, Paul Anderson, Ian Baird, Tyreeq Bakinson, Andre Blackman, Yannick Bolasie, Joe Bryan, Richard Davis, Keith Fear, Arnold Garita, Rene Gilmartin, Trevor Jacobs, Joe Lennox, Guy Madjo, Sean McCarthy, Alan Miller, Kevin Nugent, Karleigh Osborne, Scott Partridge, Forbes Phillipson-Masters, Bobby Reid, Gary Sawyer, Steven Sessegnon, Enoch Showunmi, Phil Starbuck, Ryan Taylor, Robbie Turner, Zak Vyner. Any more? Dave Smith Dave Burnside? I didn't realise Trevor Jacobs & Keith Fear had played for both. Correct if wrong but I believe Dave Burnside was a Bristolian, but never played for either Bristol club.

I'm told by older fans that City once lost 5-0 at Plymouth on Boxing Day and that goalie Tony Cook was drunk. The next day was the return fixture at AG. Bob Anderson replaced Tony C in goal and City won 6-0. Dunno about you, but I'd like to see a return to "local" derbies again at holiday times with the fixtures just 24 hours apart. For some reason they always lwd to odd score lines such as I detailed above.

On another forum the suggestion has been made that Leicester are deliberately now trying NOT to go up this season. If they did, the points deduction would send them straight back down. By staying in the Championship, they'd still have the points deduction, but would be strong enough to get promoted and have some parachute payment still.

Something for nothing? This could see Rovers ground share over the Tamar then.

Oh dear Leicester fans; https://www.foxestalk.co.uk/topic/134410-bristol-city-1-0-lcfc-post-match-thread/page/8/#comments We had £95m on the bench. Never used appropriately, ever. Need to get rid of Enzo. Tbh I think the whole club needs to have a reset even the owners something is rotten and Nissan not right. I don't get what Mavididi and Fatawu are doing. We play them because we want wingers who can beat their man. Yet I can't remember either having a go. The casual complacency from the players stems from the manager and his slow, ponderous ‘style’ which was outed as one dimensional and unsustainable a long time ago. And what about man management and motivation? I see none of that from Maresca. The players just don’t seem bothered. Sloppiness everywhere. No fight or aggression or quality in the key areas. What the hell does he do with them in training??

That was a fine team performance, but most of all; Thank you Max! Great performance today.

Leicester fans aren't too happy. https://www.foxestalk.co.uk/topic/134406-bristol-city-a-match-thread/page/21/#comments KDH and Mav need to be pulled at half time. Shocking performance from both The defending of Faes and Vestergaard is really not good for my blood pressure. Average Championship players are running riot against them. know what you mean Suze I thought we’d come out fast be 2 up in first 30min thinking the lads wanted to win this ! Why is it so quiet? Watching it on TV and it’s like a training game. Somebody home or away ######## sing a song.
