So the (self) highly esteemed Brian Tinnion has been with us for 30 years.

Reminds me of lyrics from a popular song.

”Thirty years of hurt

Never stopped me dreaming”

Manning is learning on the job (though, from what I’ve seen, he’s a very slow learner).

Anyway, for those who may be concerned about hearing this startling revelation, the good, and reassuring news is that Uncle Brian is his teacher.

Yes, the same bumbling, incompetent Brian that has in 30 years learnt absolutely bugger all worth knowing or sharing.

Apart from back-stabbing, sycophancy and alienating the fan-base through lies and his self-aggrandisement.

So, tea lady's next in line ?

She’d probably do a lot better, as she clearly knows when something’s brewing, but she’s definitely not Lansdown’s cup of tea.

The indisputable evidence was that it IS Mother's Day today and the match took place at lunchtime when most families are out together, but I should have known that only negative comments are allowed on the forum these days!

Really?

So, where have you seen or been told that?

Stop being so negative.

The low turnout today was mainly due to ST holders staying home for mother's day, should be back to normal by next game

Thank you for quoting the “official” line from Bristol Sport.

This will bring great relief and reassurance to anyone who thought otherwise.

i am certain there is indisputable, hard evidence to back this up.

Swansea we’re prettier than us but even more toothless!!

Which reminds me.

To the moronic Fewers who've recently been creaming themselves over the possibility of playing us next season.

Mind the Gap !

Another 'look at me, look at me' post. Simply put - Bore off. 

If you don't like it, don't go. Stop making yourself out that you're important. This place has become so negative and poisoned, and irrespective of the football, it's down to the attitude of the posters. 

Yes today was poor. And yes we've not been great recently, but give Manning a chance. We saw far worse games under Pearson.

Hate to point out the obvious, but you're a poster too,

Irrespective of the football ?  Do you reckon this forum would be "so negative and poisoned" if the football served up was entertaining and we won more games ?

Rams 2 Ramshackle 0

Cardiff - Ohhh ! Dowda

Ipswich -Oww ! Dowda

Defeat to Swansea this weekend, and it could be (should be) Manning's swansong.

If ever there was a "must win",  this is it.

No excuses.

No if's, no but's or maybe's.

Gotta say, a manager saying once the game starts there’s nothing they can do to impact it is pretty ******* mental. 

Yeah, for sure.

And if Manning really believes that, he may as well pack up and clock off once any game has started.

What a bloody stupid thing to admit, and saying so out loud too !

And boy, does he like having his ego stroked by all the (fake and insincere) compliments from the likes of McKenna and, allegedly, others?

Does Manning honestly believe McKenna would have sung his/the team's praises if we had beaten them ?

Only 34 posts so far that explicitly mention Nige (I didn't pick those where the reference was only implicit, even if it was obvious)

I think you might have missed one.

(psst! I'm only posting this to drive him mad whilst he's trying to find it).

Well it is football chat on a football forum, and it makes a change to 1000 grown men pinning over a manager who is never coming back ........

Darn you !

Sounds like you've got the needle.

Sew, why not start another thread?

You'll have people in stitches.

That’s a Secret, Sam.

The sooner we appoint Whom, the better.

At least we know Bell will toll for him.

But he'll probably be snapped up to replace Moyes at West Whom.

If/when the Chief Accountant decides to sell, will it be a Closing (Lans) Down Sale?

He joined with a lessening injury list , a team that could run all day and were as fit as anyone in the league , plus were an honest and hard working bunch with a great bond.

Now Injuries increasing , fitness looks like dropping off and they look tired towards the end of games . Plus for the first time in ages players look frustrated and look like they're blaming each other . 

We have gone backwards in every aspect as far as I can see .

Fully agree, particularly your point about the players being a honest, hard working and together.

Manning's so-called "front foot football" has taken us backwards. I don't believe he knows what that style of football looks like, or how to implement it.

Think he's had some words in his ear about showing some emotions.

To which LAIm (sic) Manning replied "That does not compute !"

Manning would even stuggle to intimidate a spineless wimp like Dr Zachary Smith, who must have been a Bristol City fan, based on his constant reciting of "Oh the pain, the pain !"

Some ancient members of this forum will understand this nonsense.

Manning suggesting he might lose his temper, brings to mind the idiom "hold my beer".

Bit harsh.

If you're naming Tinnion, why the pseudonyms for Steve and Jon?
