Interesting to think, would people be happy with promotion if it meant wearing a blue kit and changing our badge colour and identity?

Not sure I would to be honest

Feels like the identity is already changing

Just got back

bloody sat nav!

Must admit, I love the passion of Arteta, fires up the players and the fans

I think it’s a transition from supporters to spectators.

Rooney incoming apparently 

A relative of mine is a pro footballer now playing in the MLS. He joined his local club academy at age 7 and stayed with them till about 26 when he got his move abroad.

I remember his story when he was 16 and they were giving out the contracts. The lads were all called in one at a time, he got a 2 year contract and so did another, 14 were released.

he was at a premier league club, over the previous 4 years they’d been trained to be premier league players both in the pitch and off it, all 16 lads thought they would be premier league players.

After the interview my cousin was talking to the assistant manager, he said it must be hard having to let all those lads down.

not really he replied, we’ve known since they were 10 years old the two we wanted, the rest he had to keep so they could play matches!

It’s great he made it but you’ve got to feel for the ones who don’t, having to try and build a life outside football at such a young age

It’s not just why we think of him. From Blue Moon forum…

“And, if it hasn't been mentioned, another stadium announcer who thinks it's all about him - still reading his narrative even though the silence/applause had long started, right through to when it finished!”

The way Ian Wright was talking Scott up I wouldn’t be surprised by interest from Arsenal

Absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about a 3-0 score line, we looked well organised and a threat for most of the game. This season Man City scored 6 against Forest and Man Ure and 3 against Barcelona

proud to be a Bristol City fan

What a great draw the day before transfer deadline day, they’ll be queuing up to sign for us

Coming from Palace I suspect our new ceo might have a positive view on vocal fan support

As HNM is under 24 and we offered him a new contract, wouldn’t we be eligible for compensation  from his new club?

if so, we would probably hold out for an offer of more than a fiver or a free uber

or am I mistaken?

Always thought best way to win is to score more goals than we concede

"And finally, we go back to Monopoly, for a quick quiz question. Along with Coventry Street what other three squares on a Monopoly board also carry the name of an English football team?"

 

Oxford (Street), Leicester (Square), Liverpool (Street Station) 

Liverpool (street station)

Happy new year

When was the last time City & England played on the same day? 

In 1997 we played Millwall in the cup in the afternoon and England played Cameroon early evening

£200m a season, Sky News speculates. What the f### do you do with that sort of money?

Put the central heating on 

Wonder how many of the Saudis will be in Newcastle in January

Looking at the fixtures on the bcfc.co.uk website and it looks like Bournemouth have been put down to the Championship 

Or am I going mad?

Mr C, always a City Legend, we don’t need reminding, but tell your Shrews how important tomorrow really is

If we don’t bring players through the academy where do we get them from? 
 

We are a progressive club, it doesn’t count to ffp.

we aren’t the gas

Only thing that worries me about tonight…Weiman didn’t score, maybe it’s time to sell him, he’s clearly past it

Gotta be honest, result was shit but I had a great day, me and my mate in club Wembley in the hull end, YouTube video of us singing to our neighbours, cider, ‘posh’ seafood, champagne (my mate has more money than sense), we played ok, was close and not embarrassing, what would we do in the prem?, lift home with 2 city fans who’d taken it less well…great memories of a great season and a great day…here’s to the next time

Maybe I should’ve put it in the pre season thread

Not seen this mentioned anywhere, thought I’d post in case anyone was interested
