I don't know why but I get the feeling that you aren't a big fan of Tinnion. 

Is anyone?

And this demonstrates what's wrong with Parachute payments.  Sheff Utd are coming down but are linked with paying £8m for a goalkeeper!!!

Best midfielder?

Matty James has been superb both on and off the pitch but it has to be Gerry Gow for me.

Hallelujah - was wondering when somone was going to mention him!

Manning and Tinnion clearly want to leave the Pearson era in the past. Severing all ties.

Matty James is a big loss and will go on to play a starring role for another Championship club next season. 

Twine gone too?

Tinnion had better pull some big signings out of the bag this summer. 

I don't think he even has a bag.

October 26, 2003 and before that I'm sure.  Was also a member a yahoo group whose name now escapes me - that was a great group.

Always wondered where our name came from.

Where can I buy the anniversary shirt?

Can I return my season tickets?

Doesn't sound like he'll be joining the coaching staff though. 

Four season tickets purchased - never had a season ticket before, still not sure I'll get value for money from them but time's running out for me to have owned one - so there we are.

So, if I buy a couple of season tickets for my sons, and they can't make the odd game, will I be able to use their tickets, subject to an upgrade obviously?

Hanham, St George have always been mixed, but I'm surprised what you say about Fishponds. Were you born in 1960? I was born in 64, went to Whitefield and it was pretty much solid Rovers when I went there.

I was born in 1960 - grew up from the age of 7 in Forest Road, Kingswood.  From memory, I seem to remember as many City as Rovers at school as I always used to dread the Gloucester Cup as we always seemed to lose (maybe that's because it's a painful memory).  I remember the old Rovers club shop down at the Kingsway.  The rivalry isn't the same any more - or maybe that's because I don't live in Bristol any more.

Luton did it last season. Ipswich look like they will do it this season. Brentford and Brighton two more examples of clubs getting promoted without parachute payments. West Brom may well do it this season. 

Ultimately if we want to get to the premier league, we need to overcome that challange. No point in wasting energy on it because it is what it is. 

If we ever get to the PL then we'd suddenly be greatful of the parachute payments. 

Don't get me wrong, the issue of parachute payments is very complicated. I don't like it and it needs to change but I do understand why it's in place. 

We all know that, being Bristol City, if we ever get to the PL then that will be the day they decide to drop parachute payments.

Well, I've heard from a mate down the pub who has a cousin who has a mate who once saw TC in Sainsbury's who said that he may or may not leave this summer.  You heard it here first but don't shoot the messenger - only passing on first class info as I hear it.

Definitely off

It says that Sky will stream 328 matches per season for the Championship.  I didn't realise Leeds played that many games in a season.

1. O'Leary
2. Vyner
3. James
4. Pring
5. Dickie

He obviously hadn't got the email saying not to award penalties to us.  I expect he'll be relegated to League 2 for Saturday's games as a result.

I'm of a similar age, was he not broken by the disappointment of David James conceding 3 on his debut fresh off a World Cup appearance? That taught me City will always let us down and I still haven't recovered.

Yes, we're going off topic a little but I remember the journey to that game - we were all excited that we'd just signed a player who had just returned from the World cup - oh how long that excitement lasted!

What an utter bastard of a grandfather you are. 
 

To put the poor little lad through bad decisions, unfulfilled potential and abject failure, leading to crap weekends and eventually emotional support dogs and a psychologist with no life experience!

 Oh sorry that’s me

 Congratulations fella!

COYRs

And that's so true -my 24 year old is full of optimism come Friday evening and Saturday morning but by 15:05 he becomes inconsolable and best avoided until just before the next game.

Child abuse!  You'll be submitting him to a life time of disappointment and needing to drown his sorrows in a bottomless pint of cide  

Oh, and congratulations.

Utterly embarrasing from White.

I don't know what it is about him but he seems really unlikable. As much as I think on ability he should be in the England team, I'm giving Southgate the benefit of the doubt on some his exclusion.

I think it's Ben White's decision to make himself unavailable for  England duty.

I've not listened to one of his interviews since he joined and very few post match. With NP I'd listen to most as they were honest and interesting and without any buzz words! 

If you've not listened to one of his interviews then how are you able to reach a judgement as to their quality?
