Thanks to BristolRob for the suggestion and Slartibartfast who started the original thread because he suggested John Galley as the best ever City player.

Who is the best player you have seen in a City shirt per decade? The only qualifying rule is that the player concerned helped the team to achieve or saved us from relegation. Whilst Jacki was probably the best player I have ever seen in a City shirt, I don't think he qualifies because of the above rule.

70s Norman Hunter 

80s Sir Alan Walsh

90s Super Bob Taylor

00 Adriano Basso

10s mmmm

20s mmmm

Surprised you put Hunter in front of our best player of the last 50 years, who my dad used to say was only second to the great John Atyeo in the 80 years he followed City !!!

Yo know who i mean !!!!!

Our top 6 team dropped 2 points against a team that will probably get relegated. 

My expectation is us pushing for the play offs this season so therefore it's not a positive result. 

You need to let it go mate

I don’t agree this was a positive result against a very poor side.

Still say Manning needs 6 points from the three games, counting today, and that under 4 will be cause for concern

Much better teams than us have failed to beat them this season

7 from 9 in those pal. Sloppy finishing cost us at Hull too, and on another day we concede a penalty today too.  I didn’t say today wasn’t good, first half was for sure, just not in the ‘top 3’. 

Apologies, I’m still having nightmares about our performance at Swansea last season

What I saw today and their league position shows me that they are crap. 

You can try arguing with me all night and you won't convince me or many others that the only reason they looked crap was because we made them look crap because that wasn't the case. 

Don’t worry, I have no intention of arguing with you

2 minutes ago, petehinton said:

Would say Swansea, Hull, Millwall are the 3 top away performances so far this season imo

Umhh, 4 points from a possible 9 including a 95th minute winner, sloppy finishing and another defensive error cost us three points today

6 minutes ago, W-S-M Seagull said:

We didn't make a crap team look crap. They are just crap. 

 

 

A draw at Swansea, a draw with Southampton and a win at Middlesbrough in the last three games suggests otherwise

Just now, Davefevs said:

FWIW I don’t think we looked good…I thought we looked adequate today.  I sat there incredibly frustrated at some of the poor play from us, poor decision making and execution from us.

So, no I didn’t think our “goodness” made them poor, because I didn’t think we were very good at all today.

We had a bright opening 15 mins.

Agreed it wasn’t great but how many times have we played better than that away from home this season?

6 minutes ago, Davefevs said:

This

I don’t most do, but when you watch today’s 90 mins, and see how woeful Huddersfield actually are…they I think it’s fine to see this as 2 points dropped.

We were the better team, but then you have to take the points then don’t you?

Unfortunately Manning has inherited a very lightweight attack, hopefully this will change when Wells is fit and hopefully reinforcements in January 

1 minute ago, GrahamC said:

You might have one if you think they inherited identical situations.

Of course they’re not identical but Manning has come in to a very thin squad with plenty of injuries and very few options up front, a large part of the fan base are still in mourning and angry with the hierarchy, time to get behind the new guy.

Eh?  I point out that manning has done worse than pearson and you call me a ball bag.  Weirdo 

You might have a point if Manning ever goes 16 home games without a win

Absolutely morning's and afternoons depending on age groups!

Historically Bristol children's football (hanham minor league) was always on a Sunday, Saturdays followed on much later 

When mine were playing it was always Hanham minor on the Sunday morning then onto the Avon youth league on the Sunday afternoon spent about 15 years doing one or the other or both !!!

I hate it when players who take kick offs purposefully block players closing down, it seems to happen every kick off!

Surely it's obstruction?

I feel the same when defenders shepherd the ball over the by-line and blocking attackers getting anywhere near the ball, it'd plain obstruction

£1m fee + probably £10K a week wages. What a signing he was

We bought the wrong Watkins

6 hours ago, GlastonburyRed said:

Cov entirely different proposition with O'Hare in the team.

He is class, Cov’ lost their best two players in the summer as well so are doing well to be competitive this season

Don’t think we”ll sell out now, many will choose West Ham the week after

10 minutes ago, SecretSam said:

So, if all 10k are going to be accommodated, under the 15% away fans rule, that means that Carrow Rd would need to hold 66,667...not sure it's that big

A majority of the 10,000 will be “locked out”

He's 17 so we wouldn't be sending him out on loan anywhere yet anyway until he's 18, a non league loan like Bath would have been the max. 

Semenyo went along the same path didn't he ? Bath & Newport rings a bell

3 minutes ago, W-S-M Seagull said:

We'd sell 8/9k anyways. But at a tenner a ticket, we'd sell as many tickets as they give us. 

Personally i think it might be a struggle if it's played on a Sunday, Saturday, no problem

22 minutes ago, W-S-M Seagull said:

You're simplistic idea is flawed in that all of them wanted to leave. 

Scott and Semenyo in particular became millionaires over night. 

This is exactly it, apart from getting a chance to supposedly play in the best league in the world they are also multiplying their salary 10 fold, absolutely nothing the club can do about it other than cash-in 

Spoke to a gashead today and he says that if they beat Crewe Rovers could sell 10,000 tickets for Norwich away in the next round ,  should be fun on the London bound trains !!

Gas chat is in meltdown after losing to a 4th division reserve team, a great read

With few exceptions these days, they are frozen and then microwaved to within an inch.

So, freshly frozen is probably the answer (which goes for everything else most chip shops do).

Clarks pies are beautiful when fresh but awful when not

You been to a chip shop recently ?

The price of a pie in the concourse (with ST discount) isn't too far off chip shop prices these days.

 

Wouldn’t buy a pie in a chip shop personally, never know how fresh they are

Mowbray took over from Alex Neil, who was the manager who actually achieved promotion before jumping ship to Stoke.

So he did, my mistake, couldn't understand Neil doing that, he must be skating on this ice at Stoke
