With all possible respect Miah, these aren't 'accusations', they actually happened.

Dark, dark times for us tbh. I went to school not knowing if my club would still be in business when I came out that day.

Yes, some of our fans went too far but, I would hope, if the boot was on the other foot, we wouldn't do everything we could to kill you off and try to profit from it.

One thing I can’t help but wonder is whether Stokes and Murphy factor into the club’s thinking around the Twine loan. Possibly not and this may be very premature but we could have one or both attacking midfielders pushing for a place in the squad come the summer meaning that, if we could not agree the right price for Twine we still have options in the squad that enable us to maintain the same shape (even if they would obviously need settling in time and not bring what Twine could bring anywhere near as immediately)

Not forgetting Benarous who is back training with the first team. Here’s hoping he’s over his nightmare period.

No6 one of my fav players

 

I remember one night, as a nipper, my grandad sent me out to buy 20 No6 ,the tobacconist was closed so I went to the Chinese takeaway on the corner and came home with 3 bags of egg fried rice. 

Happy birthday Louis. By C.A. ‘s judgment my grandad was a snappy dresser too. 

That’s not him by the way. He was a No6 man.

I see they’ve installed the portaloo’s in the cow shed then, championship ready I heard

I swear this chap was seen on his way to the Memorial Swamp with some paper and a pen. 
 

He hasn’t ‘ given’ anything, he is lucky enough to have been paid by the club for a number of years for his work. 
Fair play to the bloke. 

Stokes City. 
Hello and Goodbye young Josh. Hope to see you soon.

It is really odd how this game is continually celebrated. Yeah, great win.. but it was ages ago.

We are told that we are a club with aspirations of competing with the likes of Liverpool, which makes it all the more smalltime. 

The mural is a good piece of artwork, but is a permanent reminder of our underachievement. All very odd.

Why don’t we celebrate all our wins over top clubs? 
We beat Arsenal in our first game back in the First division at their place- worth a celebration ? 
We beat Liverpool in the league - worth a celebration? 
Man Utd at Old Trafford - let’s have a Saint Kevin Mabbutt day. 
Yep , sad and tinpot. 
Let’s welcome back our old heroes for a bit of a wave and to rekindle memories but let’s wait until we have something really special to celebrate before blow the dust of our, rather short , roll of honour. 

The one good thing about this is that we are finally maintaining the contact with ex players and staff which can only be a positive for the club. The more football ‘friends’  City has the better.

He hasn’t been the same since Nige left, nor has Dickie. We are weaker defensively. 

I expect they have too much information to take on board and have moved away from what they were previously doing. Let’s hope they settle down soon because since LM arrived our strong defence has been making some silly mistakes which has cost us goals.

Just happy we finally got someone who can take a set peace

All we are saying is give peace a chance.

It will take the squad a while to get on the end of Twines dead balls

Sounds horrendous. 

I liked ‘Dooby do be do ‘ , the Tom Thumb song.

Well, The Real (yes real, he's so famous there maybe fakes) Bristol Boy confirmed it was done yesterday.

 

If, as the great Sage says, it’s confirmed why ‘ hopefully ‘ confirmation coming . Shouldn’t it read ‘ confirmation coming’ without the doubt expressed by the word ‘ hopefully ‘ ?

Another one...

Great view, I was a third of the way back.
I imagine the view was even better further back/up

When full, the pillars will impact some seats but overall very impressive

The atmosphere was good and when full will improve the stadium atmosphere without a doubt

Underneath plenty of room to include eateries, bars & toilets and pre- match and at half time I can imagine it absolutely bouncing

I think I’ve found my new home

It’s the ‘when full ‘ bit that gets me. 
They couldn’t fill it for , what is for them , a glamour tie with a huge prize for going through so when do they envisage this event happening ? 
When they’re in the Prem ? 

For the first comment, it is evidently better further back … 

Birmingham for instance.

I've a hotel room in Liverpool going cheap if anyone is interested?

Fair play M.D. . 

Why don’t you come over to us for a higher level of disappointment ? 
 

I hope our 4th Round tie doesn’t get overshadowed by the Gas trip to Anfield . 
What’s that you say? Lost ? At home to the Canaries reserves ? 
Oh well my Gas friends there’s always the First round to look forward to next season.

Capacity crown in BS3 under the lights - the Gate should be bouncing, I just hope we don't concede an early goal and it goes flat. Alternatively an early goal for us would get our tails up and who knows what could happen from thereon in! 

Let's show everyone what we're about. Big night too for the pubs of BS3, don't forget! And those with parking spaces rented out ha ha 

Goal ? 
Ark at Ee! 
Demanding git.

Fair play for sticking it out. I was at the back of Williams B block cuddling some random stranger to keep warm

Which is why a solid but unspectacular loan spell is probably the best long term outcome overall!

So, the worse he plays the better it is for us .
