Actually, it’s worth you reading what I wrote.  Focus was on Luton.  They’ve done brilliantly with their money, by getting a playing system, recruitment and continuity all working in harmony.

The data isn’t very good on transfer fees in Transfermarkt, but Sky saying squad value of £1.5m isn’t any more accurate either?

No hidden agendas.  But I’ll bare you in mind the next time I put out a spreadsheet that references City and caveat it accordingly as to whether you should read anything into it.  I can explain in Janet and John if you like.  Just let me know.  I appreciate not everyone is into their “numbers”.

Your posts now seem to show up again, which is good also.  Welcome back.

 

could you do one in Peter and Jane as well please

Glad to read your good news - long may it continue.

I'm at the beginning of the journey, having been given the big C diagnosis this afternoon.  Should be operated on within 3-4 weeks, quite a few tests to go through beforehand, as I have other health problems.  I'm remaining positive at the moment, it's not the death sentence that it used to be, although I'm not sure that the reality has hit me yet.  

stay strong there are cures for some forms of C wishing you all the best.

I hope they go down. No issue with Everton, but (and you think you've got it bad) Burnley are my second team. Relatives from that neck of the woods, the first ever live game I attended was at Turf Moor when they beat Sunderland to gain promotion to the old first division in the early 1970s.  Bristol City and Burnley. What did I do in my previous life to deserve this?

you shagged everything in front of you and now the spirits are getting their revenge. Look out @Rudolf Hucker

If the sheets are red?

surely they are red at the top white at the bottom with a bit of red at the very bottom.  based on J macs arse size plenty of room for a non clean sheet. but it was good at blocking shots.

On FBC Pod @Curr Avongave a good summary.  There wasn’t an awful lot between the sides, other than finishing and probably just as importantly desire to win battles. Bowlers goal versus Scott’s chance.  Hamilton’s goal versus Wells goal.

We need a bloody clean sheet from somewhere.

We do have to defend better….as a team.

can you have a Bloody clean sheet?

Lots of diseases we're vaccinated against have high survival rates. It also isn't just about that as I'm sure you know - it's about transmission and the healthcare burden.

I guess your last sentence is where we differ. I'd rather not die before my time due to something preventable if I can at all help it!

I'm in my mid 30s and want to see us in the prem ffs..!

Yes  its poor quality but it was almost never ever seen, because luckily we managed to find a process to rescue what would have been lost forever. The original 1/4 inch film tape, recorded at the game by John Pearce, had unfortunately been badly stored for 35 years and was damaged.

The story began when Downend City and his colleagues at the City Supporters Trust found a bag of 1/4 tapes and after a time of trying to play them, they gave them to me. Although I had the 1/4 film player the tapes were unplayable, literally falling apart but through a 'miracle' we found a process to enable them to be played and identified for what they were. By 'baking them slowly in an oven' at a low temperature for several hours. Amazingly the system worked and retained the important 'backing' from the tape, it enable us to run the tapes and we discovered that on one of them John Pearce had recorded a sequence of the 50 goals scored during the 1978 season, the goals scored at every game during that of City's most successful post war season. To be able to identify each goal; the clips were watched through to identify the game and the teleprinter effect added to illustrate the clip. Thankfully all fifty goals from that season were rescued and can be seen...Hope that makes things a little clearer.. ER... as it were.

I could be generous and say there are a few on here who can't have seen him play, or were perhaps too young to appreciate what they were seeing, but if they genuinely believe Jacki was 'lazy' or 'over-rated' there really is no help.

Perhaps best summed up by the night at the Old Den when Jacki, donning a splendid Burberry raincoat, stood next to us on the terrace watching us get dicked. He'd been dropped by Osman in favour of Shelton. He wasn't backward in coming forward as to this thoughts on the side that night.

Now both he and Cole weren't the most popular figures amongst the playing staff for the simple (and correct) reason that all other players at the club weren't fit to lace their boots. They weren't shy at letting teammates know their frustration that they were playing levels beneath were they deserved to be playing, that their colleagues simply weren't good enough. They carried a well-earned and deserved arrogance. Cole always made clear we were a temporary stop en route a stellar career; Jacki a man going the other way who knew he could have been one of the greatest ever, had he been bothered, which he appeared not to be.

That night Cole scored, missed a couple of self-created sitters and spent the remainder openly berating his colleagues at their ineptitude and inability to play the quick and easy ball to him. Open animosity on the park the likes of which rarely seen. Jacki was the only City player on his plane, save he was on the terrace. His manager getting torn to shreds at the back, his replacement pointing and pointing and pointing whilst The Wall midfield ran him ragged.

Recall this was the 'Polish George Best' playing alongside the legends that are Connor, Harrison, Pennyfather, Edwards and for the briefest of sojourns even 'Mr X' (Nicky Reid as you ask, whose epithet arose when, getting mullered at Newcastle, Jacki was subbed and some bright spark pointed and asked, "Who's that who's replaced him?" To which the response was: "That's our new debutant but he's been on from the start, not so you'd notice...")

Jacki want the greatest team player, he wasn't as successful as his skills deserved him to be, but he did things only a select few players could ever do. Not dream of doing, DO! A player who made opposition fans applaud his outrageous skills. And for those briefest and brightest of moments he brought joy the likes of which has rarely been glimpsed at City. So if you're Tainton over Cormack, Shelton over Jacki, that says everything about you and nothing about them.

well said.

Win 16 points from 10 games = great start to season, in touch with the play****. if anything well above expectations despite not winning at home 

Draw/lose..... Middle of the pack which most would have taken.

Good question. I like Paul Cook. Obviously dislike Ashton and I’m not LJ’s biggest fan. So I genuinely don’t know!

could you please start your first post after 7pm with "Evening All" and maybe bend your legs slightly as you type it.
