A great win tonight, 4 clean sheets in a row. Attackers finally looking deadly, defence looks sharp, O’Leary unbeatable. Whilst it’s great to watch you can’t help but feel a bit frustrated we couldn’t be like this 10-15 games ago. So is it actually a sign things have changed, manning has got a grip on things and his way of playing has finally clicked… or is it because the pressure is off, the seasons done, sunglasses and sun tan lotion are already packed and the lads are just playing with a bit of freedom. I’m praying it’s the former and this can roll in to next season. About time we’ve had something to be excited about. If they can keep this up for the remaining 4 games and have a solid transfer window, they might just get the feel good factor they desperately need from the fans as we are certainly a better club when united. 

We do this most seasons. Pressure is off and we go and spank someone. I’m not getting carried away this year though. Next season will be a struggle in my opinion.  

Again, I said in the pub pre match, Max is a top, top keeper. Kudos to Nige for seeing he was a better, and cheaper bet than Bentley. 
 

Best keeper we’ve had in a long while for me.

I struggle to believe that the club has no idea of how many season tickets we've sold.

They know, that's why those of us who still haven't renewed are being bombarded with emails.

Barton extracting the urine...They must love having to pay his wages for another 9 months

I wonder what all the clowns who signed this are thinking now...

When we the last time Conway looked a threat. Where has his pace gone? Where has his aggression gone.

Head is probably more with his mate in Bournemouth but he is not in the same league.

Looks pretty obvious he's off in the summer. If we know, I've no idea why he keeps starting games.

Out of interest who said he was a better coach? 

I’m going all Sean O’Driscoll now. 
 

Stupid Question.

Nobody ‘specifically’ said he’s a better coach, but the implication from the 3 stooges, was that someone would come in and improve squad performance.

Ergo…

Recently got back into this album.

I think when your opening gambit is to call out imaginary “bed wetters”, you lose everyone.

And “the cult of Nige”

What a helmet. Could send a glass eye to sleep.

Lots of excuses being made tonight, had to stop listening.

Lez saying he didn’t think Max’s saves were all that, and harping back to the one he let-in at Leeds, summed up tonight’s pod for me.

On plus side, Ian isn’t chatting the most shit tonight…

Anyone willing to own up?

It’s a gas head raising money for the Wallace and Gromit appeal for Bristol children’s hospital. Fair play to him.

6 really. Unless Dire has looked, well, not Dire in training this week.

The faded yellow look is consistent with the shirt it was supposed to hark back to wasn't it?  The 1989 version wasn't a bright yellow either (I had one it was my first City shirt)

Ha. This was probably one of my last. Loved it though. I like the new version as well, apart from the badge obviously.

So when you were running Nige down on every MDT and you clearly weren’t enjoying it (your prerogative) was that you taking a sabbatical from being a true fan? Or is it a case of being able to criticise as long as you do it enthusiastically?

The club cannot AFFORD to lose supporters whether they meet your criteria of true or otherwise. The “we’ll be better off without them” sounds great when you’re ranting but in practice it really isn’t unless you want to head to League 1 with 10k true supporters in the ground.

Moaning on match day threads? Not at tha actual games then. He sounds like a true supporter...

 But that should set us up nicely for next season. We have to put Pearson to the back of our minds and support the team, club and Manning. Lansdown and Tinnion? Hopefully Lansdown will support LM with signings and support. We'll get a feel for how things will go even as early as the preseason games. Lets hope City get a preseason game against a Prem side to get interest going.

Will it though? If this set of palyers go on a winning run until the end of the season, according to some, Manning is going to rip it all up and get his own players in.

Sounds like starting from scratch to me, no momentum for a bunch of new players.

It would be great now if fans could come along to the gate in their thousands and support and enjoy the rest of season now the pressure is off , I’d also like to see the players enjoy it and play with a smile on their faces and interact with the fans more , come on let’s all enjoy it and get behind the lads

Yeah, I know.

We had a discussion in the pub pre match. Would you rather have Max or Bentley. I was the only one , out of 8 , who said Max. Felt like a dog with 2 dicks after

Decent keeper is Max.

Well done lads.

Anyone got a picture of Vardy's face?

(I bet that doesn't get asked often)

I can’t be the only one who sees this…?

Oh come on Tim. You know there any outrage, people are having a nuanced discussion about what is actually a macro issue about awareness and decision making.

There is no need to dumb it down so much with a straw man. 

It's weird what people get outraged by. I remember one knob who kept going on at @Davefevs, calling himself spreadsheetman and changing his avatar.

Like I said, weird.

Difficult to put into words how much I hate this club at the moment. 

Yep. Was chatting to a gas head in work the other day and said to him, there’s very little to like about the club at the moment. Apart from the players, who still seem to have the work ethic that Nige installed, the rest of them can go and get ******. 
 

Sadly I’m 50 years deep, so walking away isn’t really an option. 

If Gary Johnson was "running the club like a family corner shop", Manning is more like someone selling bootleg CD's out of the boot of a clapped out Nissan Sunny.
