Went out for a meal the other day with my mate who is an electrician - typically he went straight for the mains…️️

Did he finish it off with a current bun?

Thats okay, I get that. I just care about results. These things will all go in a puff of smoke if we have a strong start next season, just you wait. 

Just out of interest though, what would you like to know about that the club haven't told you? What would make it better? I'm not starting an argument, just interested. 

I believe the club were heading in a good direction with NP.I believe when our injury situation improved it would have made a big difference to results. I believe the players liked and responded well to working with NP.The whole manner of Nige's sacking stank.

Under this administration we have had some very questionable appointments as manager/head coach.Also a couple of very questionable sackings in managers that I believe were very good appointments that didn't recieved the backing they deserved. 

As I said,to me it is not about results. I was excited at what I could see NP was trying to do.He was rebuilding bridges between club and fans. For me he was making the club start to feel like the great times I enjoyed under Steve Cotteril and Gary Johnson.Even thought hat was League One I loved those times.

In my eyes the club have been guilty many times of not being honest with fans and not really even trying to hide the fact.I think other people say it better when the use the phrase "customers not supporters".Things like tame interviews with Joe Sims really tell you all you need to know.

Considering we've just gone 6 unbeaten, it would suggest that we are heading in the right direction. There is an absurd amount of fart in this thread. It properly stinks of embarrassment, and trying to grasp at things to have a moan at, which is mental considering recent results and direction we're heading.  Tins, or whoever it was, has made the right decision at the time of writing, whether you like it or not. 

We can't do anything about the past, so why are we continually obsessing over it? We can't change it by repeating the same storyline over and over and over and over again.... 

I'm excited for next season. I'm excited in the direction we are heading, and I'm feeling positive about it. 

COYR'S 

6 unbeaten.Fair enough.However the relationship between club and many supporters is terrible. Trust issues particularly are extremely low.Not everything is about results on the pitch.

Is Wayne Barnes reffing?

I thought he had retired but may be wrong?

Quins still giving me sleepless nights!

I would be surprised if we keep similar numbers the "Lioness" impact and "named" opposition clearly added thousands to crowds

I think you are right. I imagine attendances will fall off a cliff next season.

Thank you! And I did say to say myself that I wanted to do every WSL away game if possible (which looks like I will), especially if there'll be no opportunity to do so next season.

And yes, it's coming up to the one year anniversary of that promotion game. If we don't win at home against Liverpool on Saturday, it will be a full calendar year without a win at home in all competitions 

Such a shame, especially when you consider the fantastic home support the team has had this year. 

Surely we have got some spare rain they can have?

Fair point. Removed 

(For those that missed it, it was a picture of the scoreboard (when it was eventually working)

I admire your dedication Shahan.It must be a tough season for all of you dedicated supporters in what feels like a season of wasted opportunity. I was at the game at Ashton Gate when they won promotion and it is pretty sad to see how this season has unfolded.

Could you not have left the last photo out?

Maybe letting people know what it is would increase your chances of getting a response.

Flew to Edinburgh a couple of days ago with EasyJet….started ok and got worse …40 minute delay taking off from Bristol and then sat on the tarmac at Edinburgh Airport for 45 minutes after only a 50 minute flight waiting for ground staff to attend (involved one person doing a lot of pointing) . Not the airlines fault in all fairness but kind of ruined it a bit . 
Add all the time together and cost and you can do it by train . 
No ID was asked for , only had hand luggage as they want over a million pounds for a normal sized case and then you have to wait about 6 months to get it back from the baggage reclaim . 
All a big faff …not the fault of EJ though.

I looked at train fares and the cheapest I could find was £220 return which seemed excessive. 

Penalties did seem a bit soft but it seems any time a defender lifts their hands above their waist they are asking for trouble.Great that the game has no VAR though.

Looking at the possibility of a short trip to Edinburgh and possibly Dublin at a later date.As someone that hasn't flown in a very long time, any tips on getting the best deal in flights please. Also not a holder of a valid passport but I have eventually got around to getting one of those fancy new drivers licence with a very attractive photo of myself on.I think the drivers licence will be fine for Scotland but not sure about Ireland.Thanks for any advice.

Some people not understanding what ‘still in the game’ means!

Maybe read the opening post again?Perhaps pay particular attention to the last paragraph.

I’ve not been in…but more soulless than the Knights Templar??? I may have to check it out

I reckon it is.In fairness some of the Spoons pubs are in fantastic buildings. 

Can't believe I forgot Basso!I know he was a marmite to some fans but I thought he was great fun.(Back in the days when football could be fun and not win at all cost).

So many spring to mind.Players like Alan Walsh and Scott Murray.Would love to have Marvin Elliott back in his prime though.JET was great fun.Loved Albert.Could be here all day with this one.

Not knocking Yate in general, but I think it has the most unattractive and soulless (I know) Wetherspoons I have ever been in.

It's hard to believe we are still the same club as we were back then.
