Your right, it’s time to start talking about pigeons on the pitch and buses driving past the ground As Socrates said “True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing”

This is interesting, as with the pub, the developers were ordered to rebuild it as it was listed. Surely the old tent structure, demolished by Rovers, must have historical value, as it was unique across the entire football league. Perhaps Rovers should be ordered to reinstate it

It’s true that we’ve “lost” Baker, Klose, Moore and Low from the wage bill but we haven’t really lost them from first team contention due to injury (Baker), loss of form (Klose) and not being Championship standard (Moore and Low). Even Kalas, who has the ability, hasn’t been in contention for the first team for ages due to injury. I agree that another central defender would be useful but Haydon Roberts has played there for Derby, as has Ross McCrorie for Aberdeen.

FWIW I’ve heard he’s going to sign for Wolves, Bournemouth, Brighton, Newcastle and Man City. All from a reliable source - ie OTIB

As Willy Wonka once sang: ”Come with me And you'll be In a world of Pure imagination” Or as the Oompa Loompas sang ”Oompa loompa doompety doo I've got a perfect puzzle for you”

Not as good as playing for Steve Cotterill at Shrewsbury but not too bad

I’m interested why you think that Wednesday will go down. To be honest I haven’t taken much interest in the club but with a big fan base, and hence income, there should be the possibility of making some signings before the window closes. At the moment it seems to be players leaving and nobody coming in, but there is still time

You’re right, it’s automatic promotion!

You’ve obviously got an excellent grasp of the English language. Have you ever considered writing novels or plays? Shakespeare is so old hat and dull

I’m acting as a straight man, giving him a feed, so that he can come in with the punch line

Gary Johnson is always welcome back. You can depend on him to come to the rescue

Is this serious? It’s like something @bert tann would post

He was definitely dour but I agree that he was doing a good job under difficult circumstances. I felt that he was just beginning to turn things around at the moment he was sacked. I suspect he just didn’t get on with SL as he just didn’t project enthusiasm

…..and fake Fanta

Bath City are home to Worthing on 28 October. The ground and the area around it is nothing special but Bath is a good place to visit before and after the match

I like your creative logic, but I don’t think it will get you very far. With a season card, if it was in your wallet, which was very much your property, would you still be able to refuse to show it to anybody? The answer is “no” because showing it is a requirement of entry. Although you have an image on your phone you don’t own the image, as copyright ownership belongs to the person / company that created it - ie Bristol City / Bristol Sport.

A thing to remember on your birthday - you are older than you’ve ever been, but you’re younger than you’ll ever be again

When re-decorating I always used to write obscure messages on the walls, before applying the wallpaper, to be found by subsequent owners of the house. Unfortunately I don’t wallpaper anymore, just emulsion the walls, so I can’t do this anymore

It’s usual for building inspectors to inspect the the work during key stages of construction to ensure each stage complies with building regulations. (This even happened when I built a small terrace at my house that was only about 5 feet high). If Rovers build the stand without the relevant inspections it may be difficult to get retrospective planning permission. From the council website: “To make sure your building works comply with building regulations, you must give us notice when your work reaches a particular stage, we’ll then carry out an inspection. You're legally required under the building regulations to tell us when you'll start your building works. We'll tell you of other stages of your project that you're required to let us know to inspect, up to and including the completed works.”

“Bristol City still lurking”. I like lurking

And 4 ft high

This is good for mothers. Take them to the match with a pie before the game and a pint in the Merchants Arms after the match

Any idea if he really asked for four times his current salary, or is this just a smokescreen?

This will definitely benefit clubs with money who have big squads of good players

Because it's the time of year when no football is being played and people have to keep their keyboard skills up to speed until the season starts
