The thing I find amusing, is it’s not particular to Nige, the bloke has endlessly slagged off every manager we’ve had the entire time he’s been some sort of Radio Bristol celebrity. I remember losing the plot hearing him suggest Cotterill should be sacked about five minutes into the season after promotion. But now, it’s just excuses for every underperformance and utterly nonsensical claims that Manning should be compared to Pearson at the same stage of his time here. Yeah, great analysis that, just ignore literally all context. This absolute 180 degree turn happening at the same point that he is clearly receiving information from the club. All quite amusing how see through it is to be honest. If this weird personality transplant continues, he’s going to stop (usually incorrectly) stating the heights of random professional footballers.

And not in a heightist way..

Opened a thread titled ‘Best City managers’, saw the name Lee Johnson. Think that’s enough internet for me today.

Heaviest defeat in runs since 1934.

On days that’s we’ve played ‘these teams’ and failed to break them down I’d get this thread, we got absolutely beaten fair and square.

Four too many, let me go home.

While the criticism about City not being able to break teams down and struggling against teams that sit in is entirely valid it doesn’t actually explain what happened today does it. We were beaten fair and square by the much better team, and they should have put a few more past us second half.

Got him for loads of REALLY important games from now until the end of the season to be fair.

Absolute ******* garbage. As bad as you’ll ever see.

Was only half watching at the time, knew it was out as soon as he didn’t give it.

Surely Joe Root is far too good a player to be getting out the way he has recently. There is still surely a case to occasionally just occupy the crease. Ashwin is out the game, Jadeja clearly isn’t fully fit, surely the wise move is attempt to just see Bumrah off, not get out doing that.

Yeah I was being sarcastic, he’s atrocious. Have no idea how he keeps getting games in high profile series.

Joel Wilson is one hell of an umpire. Would love to see the stats on how many of his decisions get overturned.

What a start this is. Never known the Indian batting to look so brittle.

I thought he was excellent, has been massively underrated his whole time here in my opinion. I’d certainly be offering him a new contract, but to be honest all the noise seems to be that ship has sailed.

Full credit to the swift and efficient work of Avon and Somerset police, the fixture list only came out in June after all.

I’m sorry, which part of my post was untrue?

It makes no sense to me, the other week on top of the forum were threads about KFC, Klopp leaving Liverpool and some marketing campaign at Chelsea. But as an example if anybody posted a thread about Steve Cotterill or Alex Scott it would be hidden away in a sub forum. Don’t understand it all.

People are very angry aren’t they.

Just standard Marv, what a bloke.

Reckon signing a 33 year old Marcus Stewart will be a more than adequate replacement for Leroy Lita, really fancy us this season after brining in top players like Heywood and Grant Smith. Can’t wait for the Swansea game, should be a cracking day out.

Absolutely fuming reading this.

Won’t pretend to have a perfect memory of various crap Bristol City performances, but my memory of the Stoke game was we were the better team and somehow chucked it away by conceding some pretty soft goals. The stats say we had more possession, more shots and a higher xG than Stoke. I do remember Birmingham being fairly crap though. Happy for people to think I’m talking rubbish, but I don’t remember being as obviously outplayed as we were Friday, certainly at home, in a long time. No doubt there will be plenty of crap performances that can be brought up, but Friday night was approaching the levels of that Brentford game under Lee Johnson that I thought we should have chucked the towel in and allowed everyone to go home early. Actually failed to have a shot of any kind in that game, pretty special achievement that.

I’m not even sure they’d see any use in Jon Lansdown.

You are aware of the team we put out that day? How was is is ‘embarrassing’?! An absolute bare bones team with numerous players out of position played out a perfectly even game.
