  1. With the money he spent and with the players he had finishing 8th was the bare minimum i'd say
  2. Imagine replacing our most successful recent manager (Steve Cotterill) for Lee Johnson. Nepotism
  3. I think the core principles of what Shankley said still exists. If you have possession - keep possession (tiki taka), if you lose possession win it back as soon as possible (Gegenpressing). Basically what we've seen from the best of Man City and Liverpool these past 5 years.
  4. Reading he has fallen out with some of the players. Seems unfortunately a toxic trait of his. He comes across at times a little arrogant which would rub certain people up the wrong way - even Paddy Kenny explained it in his own biography. Full of himself
  5. I must admit confidence can do incredible things. He has been a totally different player these last couple of months, before this season it was largely hoofs up the pitch - to me it was a player short of confidence. I'm glad Vyner has shown us his capabilities
  6. Had someone ? my post like a 10 year old but there we go ?
  7. Fair play to Vyner. Good for him for proving me and others who doubted him wrong. Great to see
  8. Clough, Wenger, Bobby Robson, Vialli, Hoddle (Believe he would have got the best out of England's GG) are among my personal favourite non City managers ever. At Championship level always been a fan of Tony Mowbray. Sides always play quite attractive football and a likeable bloke.
  9. The chief constable is very out of touch and the Head of EFL Security and Safety spoke well.
  10. I admire the job he has done at Arsenal after the huge amounts of criticism he received for the first 18 months of his tenure. Proof that sometimes you have to trust the process.
  11. In the current Premier League I like Ten Hag, Arteta, Howe, Potter, Vieira. Used to like Klopp but the last few years he's turned very passive aggressive and irritable.
  12. They're non existent down my way in Wiltshire too. The only guys I know who had trials at clubs was at Southampton or Rovers. Lots of City fans in Wiltshire too.
  13. Disappointing he is helping their academy system and not ours but never mind, still a legend as a player here.
  14. He's been good for the last few weeks
  15. Regardless of the result now that's fantastic for Sam Bell that
  16. I'm sorry I haven't read everything on this thread, but have some of our fans genuinely complained to the club?
  17. I still think the Atyeo should be divided half away and half home, get rid of those stupid black sheets that go from halfway up the Atyeo to the goal as well, looks tinpot. We must be one of the only clubs in the Country who are really concerned about two sets of fans being in close proximity. Spurs vs Arsenal yesterday was divided by stewards.
  18. The worrying thing for me about Cardiff was in the first month of the season how much they raved about O'Dowda. An average player here, has gone to them and they've raved about him. Their standards have dropped massively.
  19. Some fans would love us to be like Cardiff. Have 5 bad results and just sack the manager every time. If it's not this season, then next season they'll go down I think, just really badly run. The managerial appointments of Morison and Hudson have screamed 'We're running out of money for new managers'. Warnock may go back on a low amount of wages, and keep them up but they'll still have the same short term issue
  20. The Boca Juniors of Bristol did well yesterday
  21. I have never in my time supporting City been appalled that we won a game. Huddersfield had something like 26 shots on goal to our 2 which we scored from. We got hammered, but won - so all was ok ? Typical football fans.
  22. Sums up my whole thoughts about the time under Holden basically. Some saying lately the football being played is the worst in 30 years have short memories. My god we were absolutely horrendous for those last 15 matches under Holden. By far the worst team in the league in those 15 games. I haven't seen us play much worse than that spell
  23. Absolutely dire wasn't it? Couldn't string 2 passes together, no shots on target happened quite often come the end
