That's harsh. I thought He was trying to find room for the cross and ran out. He came on and must of touched the ball 6 times and beat a man every time. Guy oozes goals at this level and that's why people put up with the lack of running around.

I've been wondering this. Only thing I can think of is it might be something to do with the FA cup as they will have a fixture that they can't play this weekend. Personally I was going to chose between this game and the Crawley game. As I am now at work during the Notts County game the choice has been made for me!

Fair enough- good question either way!

I've got to be honest- I'm convinced England have lost more to Germany than won.

Uruguay and Chile?

Spurs and man u are the only English teams to win a major trophy in each of the last 6 decades.

I'll be honest when Cotts was appointed I was very underwhelmed because I was expecting tactic-less hoof ball (going off what Forest fans were saying). However I feel moving Sammy out wide has been a master-stroke as he is spending less time trying to out jump 6ft tall defenders and more time exploiting space behind the full backs. Well done to Cotts and Baldock.

I'll admit it, im normally a happy clapper.... But shit, woeful, dire and awful would have been an improvement on this afternoon.

Close- He hadn't at the time that he played in the final, but has since been capped by England, so not the name I was looking for. Bertrand was however the first player of the Champs league era to make his European debut in the final.

This one is really annoying me. I've been asked it before...... determined not to Google it!!!! Edit: Think I might have remembered..... Tranmere Rovers?

English player to have played in the Champs league final but never for England?

Emlyn Hughes scored more goals against Liverpool than any other player with 26 own goals. Marcus Bent has played for the most amount of premier league clubs with 8 in total.

According to song- Bristol City FC are by far the greatest team, the world has ever seen.

Dennis wise is the only player to have won the FA cup in 3 different decades. (Wimbledon x1, Chelsea x2) Tony Adams is the only player to Captain a title winning team in 3 different decades. The 1950 world cup is the only one not to have had a final. Instead the winner was decided by a second group (consisting of the 4 winners of the first round groups) the winner of which won the world cup. Tottenham Hotspur is the only club in the football league whose full name ends with the letter r. (I'm assuming this is still correct- it was a few years back but I can't be bothered to check! It catches a lot of people out as they think it ends with s.) 3 Scotsman have played in Serie A. Dennis Law, Graeme Souness and (of Course) Joe Jordan. There are also only 3 ROI players to have done so but unfortunately I can't remember one of them... Robbie Keane and Liam Brady are 2 of the 3.....

Wasn't at the game yesterday so can't comment on the misses. However I have seen the goals on YouTube and can comment on how poor both goals we let in were. This is unfortunately the real problem. We can't defend. I don't think you can really blame a striker who is well on his way to a 20 goal season (of which we have two!) for missing when we are guaranteed to let in at least one a game.

I think you are right. Lets see what happens if the results start turning for the worse and the Preston have to dig deep because that is where he came up short for us. Bizarrely enough I ended up sat next to a guy who claimed to be "Killas best mate" at a wedding recently. Kept telling me that Kilkenny wasn't suited to the way we were having to play due to our league position and also told me that he was completely devastated at some of the reactions from the crowd. All I kept saying back was he might be right and I don't hold anything personal against the guy! Didn't work out- he needed to move on everyone's happy now!

Nothing surprises me with this club. Results haven't been great but I honestly thought that we were in it for the long haul this time round. Timing seems bizarre considering people have been saying that it was one of our better performances on Tuesday.

It's ridiculous! We need to stay in touch as they can't all win every week.... Can they!?!

Worry I have is that the late equaliser they got last week would give them confidence and help put them on a bit of a run.

FFS!!!

Sat in a living room in Manchester surrounded by the girlfriends manure supporting family. Glued to this thread on my phone. They are going to think I'm really rude by the end of the evening!! Never mind eh some things in life are more important ;-).

We always concede, We always concede, We're Bristol Cit...... No wait, hang on Thats not right is it!!!!! Massive, massive win! Really looking forward to Saturday now!!!
