  1. From the Sunderland forum. The line in bold type sounds like City.

    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.

    We're not a Leeds? We're not even a bloody Luton, for crying out loud. 

     

    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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

    The FA are throwing a load of money at the Cornish teams to "level up". They want a Cornish team in the National League. But Mousehole are big beneficiaries, getting loads of money thrown at them. 

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

  6. 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??

  7. 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.
