  1. I can’t really blame the club for taking him on loan. Assuming this has cost us little to nothing, then why not bring him in? He has a good youth pedigree. Where they did go wrong was elevating him to a “name” signing in January to make themselves look good. If they’d just put out a statement along the lines of: “We’ve brought him in to have a look”, no fuss or “first day” on YouTube, then there would be none of this.
  2. You’re right! A Pork Bar-B-Que Sandwhich does look like a little cheeseburger from further away.
  3. I‘m increasingly watching the pennies and am currently only assessing City as another form of entertainment. I love that the results have improved recently, but unfortunately the level of entertainment isn’t worth paying for. I’ll take full advantage of my RobinsTV subscription for the remainder of the season, then rely on the YouTube “highlights” next year.
  4. No excuses for this kit as the club and O’Neils will have had a full production cycle. I’m going to guess a relatively safe home kit, but a controversial “Bears blue” away kit.
  5. Playing now: Semenyo More obvious past: Jacki and Andy Cole Less obvious past: Wilbs I get the sense that we need a Wilbs type character in the dressing room.
  6. If any league is going to remove VAR, my money's on the SPL. It's been an absolute disaster up there and is universally hated by clubs, players and fans. Celtic / Rangers would be mid-low Prem in their current state, and would have the financial power to improve and compete. To suggest recent Europa League finalists would be mid-low Champ is pretty disingenuous.

  8. To Celebration by Kool and the Gang… Celebrate Scott Twine C’mon Its a celebration
  9. My brother told me of something he read the other day… The Championship is made up of 24 teams. 11 are fighting for promotion. 11 are fighting relegation. And there’s also Bristol City and Preston.
  10. Open on a rowdy Ashton Gate. Bristol City are playing Leicester City and it’s the 93rd minute. Leicester are winning 1-0. Taylor Gardner Hickman places the ball down for one last gasp corner. We hear the crowd roar and feel the tension bursting through the screen. The commentator, half defeated, half hopeful, lets out his final rallying cry to the fans at home. “This is it. There can’t be many more chances for Bristol City to equalise.” The corner’s taken. It’s not great. It’s too close to the keeper but just far enough away that his punch doesn’t clear the area. From the edge of the box Ross McCrorie scuffs a shot… but the messy hit confuses the Leicester defenders who anticipated an easy, low drive into the bottom left corner. In the confusion, the ball bounces of multiple Leicester players - their legs, torsos, arses. It falls into the six yard box. The keeper, flailing on the ground can’t reach. Suddenly, Zak Vyner - with his back to goal - stumbles and falls over. He’s tripping over his own boots, staggering once, then twice before hitting the ground. He somehow manages to stick out his leg. Through the crowd of lunging, exhausted players his toe touches the ball. It trickles towards the line… will it? won’t it? The keeper scrambles once more… but it’s not enough. The ball slowly crosses the line. The crowd erupts - limbs everywhere. This is the beauty of football without VAR. Pure emotion. Zak leaps to his feet, a huge smile across his face. He runs to the City faithful, arms wide open. They adore him. He stops momentarily in front of the crowd, soaking in the atmosphere and what he’s just achieved. He thumps the badge then, in one swift movement, grabs the hem of his shirt - triumphantly yanking it over his head. We see it. The t-shirt under his shirt. We see it… ONYEGO We fade to black. Logo and lock-up. We fade again. A FEVER PITCH PRODUCTION
  11. Everyone knows that France is the home of fashion, so I think it was a big miss by the club to not include our resident Frenchman, Bajic. A Vyner and Bajic collaboration would be very popular… Vajynr
  12. I’m going to make an educated guess as to how this came about… in all “fun” social media posts, players are asked:”Who has the best fit?” and the answer is always Zak. Some social media junior (probably Jon) put two and two together and came up with this mess of an idea.
  13. Probably only £13.50pm. They would have used the code “Buxton” for a 10% discount.
  14. That’s one step away from “Live, Laugh, Love”.
  15. The players voted him club captain, then the club told them he wasn’t needed anymore. That says a lot about what the club thinks of the player’s opinion.
