Una Stubb's cousin

A very rare event - unanimity on OTIB

Have they scored yet?

Preston?

If so, yes!

Cough...left footed shot...

but that will be a left footed shot with his head.

Don't worry, City will reach the final of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy, with a nice, Matt finish. Any more?

Your conveniently glossing over the fact that we have to beat Gillingham first!

Embarrassing?

 

 

A win is a win, but an embarrassing win ...................

 

 

TFR

Hands up everyone who take an embarrassing promotion right now?

Surely we should be looking at a play off place with 5,200 points?...

Don't forget teams behind us have games in hand

"I said in another thread how the last 3 seasons the automatic promotion teams did not draw more than 11 games (Wolves 10, Brentford 10, Doncaster Rovers 9, Bournemouth 11, Charlton 11, Sheffield Wednesday 9) whilst we're already at 6."

 

Ummm...

Last season Peterborough drew 5 games and came 6th in the table and they are still in this league. Maybe looking at wins, draws and losses would be a better way of making predictions?

 

Dare I say that the '2 points average' a game is the best promotion predictor around, and draws, wins and losses all contribute to that average. Basing our position on draws alone is like closing your eyes in darts and trying to get 180.

At the  end of the seasons the two teams with more points than the rest will be automatically promoted - it doesn't matter how they get those points.

IF Preston win their two game in hand they go above us, but if they don't they won't.

We will have a slump at some point and other teams will hit a run of form. Our start to the season has been excellent - far better than every City fan would have expected - and has given us a tremendous chance to be in the mix at the sharp end of the season, but promotion isn't won by December, but for some teams it will be lost by then, so our games in the next month will have a big bearing on our chances come next May.

I keep hearing about the weaknesses that we still have, but I guess most other league 1 managers would happily swap their weaknesses for ours at the moment!

A dyslexic fan will be wondering what vince cable has to do with the club's unbeaten start to the season.

Need to get a result here. Our 4 league games in November are against the teams currently in 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th!

But all of them have to play the team that is currently in 1st place!!

Goals all over the pitch.

Is it only Frankie of the normal starting 11 who hasn't scored so far this season?

Sounds like Ayling is doing a good job on Cole

And he is going to score today.

Ayling !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mystic Bar BS3!

Now can you give me 6 numbers for this evening?

I like the analogy Downend... and I left it so long its too late to edit . Mods need to amend the timeline for that i would suggest.

 

Reminds me of Tim Brooke Taylor fighting with his sword and a perpetual smile on his face during 'The Last 1948 Show' or whatever it was called and then finishing by saying 'Oh leave me alone' .. also starred John Cleese and its been pulled from the archives recently. That could be said of this City team... or put another way.. simply enjoying their football, looking like they really do, doing it with consummate ease and winning. 

 

Danny Wilson is a fella who could fit in rather well out here; he is remarkably short for an Englishman,

Depends on your definition of an Englishman Havana.

Is it a man who was born in Wigan or a man who played his international football for Northern Ireland, as they are one and the same in the case of our " Danny Boy"?

I agree he is remarkably short for an Englishman, but a decent height for a Northern Irishman!

Havana,

What you've done there is like a German putting his towel on the sunbed and then going off to have breakfast!

Quick question: why do you keep your tea bags in the fridge?

There's no room for them in the kitchen cupboards?

Maybe we should give our manager some credit? Just a thought.

What, and break the habit of a lifetime?

Oh I don't know you know.. always worked for me when I posed the question to my hot date if she would like to see my stamp collection

Did you offer special delivery though?

And the title of the programme is?

Flattery gets you nowhere?

West Brom aren't ******* around then.

West Brom now 2 up on Spurs after 6 minutes!

No to all three I'm afraid.

A clue: the last one is on the same river as two of the other answers.

Vienna?

Correct answers so far: London (Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea), Madrid, Milan, Glasgow and Belgrade.

Moscow isn't one of the nine, nor is Lisbon.

Four to go.

Munich

Paris

Athens

Rotterdam

Name 5 clubs in the top 4 English divisions whose team name starts and ends in the same letter?

spurs?

Not trivia so ruining the thread

A football question

A player is injured in the 88th minute of the match. He receives treatment for 8 minutes on the field. There have been no subs, goals or stoppages other than the said injury. How many minutes of added time will be shown?

Does it depend on whether he was playing for or against Man U when Fergie was manager?
