supercidered

I'm thinking that @Hot Air is one of those Bots rather than an actual human. There is no way (even for a Sag) that so many posts can be so ridiculous. It just isn't possible. Unless of course it is Joey Barton in disguise or the actual drummer out of Bros. Trying to articulate posts and using points of reference that are just nonsensical. There are a few tolerated Sags that come on here and we all know who they are and for the most part offer some good insight and banter. They must be embarrassed by this pleb. If Hot Air is actually real. The wife has just gone to my favourite supermarket which is Sainsbury (cue further Hot Air nonsense) for more supplies of popcorn.

I think his name may be pronounced differently if he signs for them.

You Sir/ Madam are a complete c@nt of the highest order.

Where has Hot Air gone? I nipped out to the local shop for some popcorn to settle down and watch Hot Air getting the OTIB treatment but no more posts. C'mon Hot Air pleeeeaase come back and join in the fun. At your expense.

I still meet people now that aren't City supporters that used to go and watch City in the old First Division. I live in Devon, so all the Man U, Liverpool, Forest 'fans' used to travel up to watch top flight footy at AG. They were heady days indeed. Little did I know how precious those days were and that decades later we have still never been back. Still no sign of it happening any time soon, if ever.

I agree with the first line. I was really pointing out the position we are in now rather than past failures. I agree with the second line. Finding a team, definitely. FFP, Absolutely. However, continually nurturing players via the academy to then sell them off once they are ready maybe very satisfying and commendable but where does it leave Bristol City FC as any thing other than also rans in the Championship? As I pointed out in previous posts, I think the Board see the goal and or objective of us being a sustainable club rather than anything else. I think the Board see us holding our own in and around 10th as their version of success. As a City fan of many a decade, I'm resigned or maybe a better word is at peace with this now. Just to be clear, I'd love for us to be regularly challenging for promotion in the Championship but it just isn't going to happen any time soon. Just my opinion. Top 10 this season, would be a brilliant outcome and I really hope your optimistic prediction happens!!

Because he is.

I guess your reply to my post sums up what I'm talking about. I said that we need to forget about the 'promised land' idea. The reason being because SL may want it, but he can't have it because of the financial restraints of one thing and another. He won't take the risk and I don't blame him for that. The goal maybe to get promoted to the Prem but its unlikely to be achieved. We may get a bit lucky where everything goes right for a season i.e. Luton. The chances though are at best slim. We are where we are. To me that looks like what you said in your last sentence. As for me, I'm resigned to that outcome and will just make the best of it.

I think we just need to forget about this 'promised land' idea. We are what we are. That is a club looking to be sustainable rather than successful. The City Board version of successful is basically being sustainable. The majority of the fans' vision of success is something different.

As much as it grinds my gears, the transfer was always going to happen. However, in a scenario like this i.e. a prized clubs asset is sold to a club higher up the food chain. Then usually, the fee, at least a significant part of that fee, is then spent to further strengthen the team. In this instance, as things look and sound. That isn't happening! This is the part that I'm really the most disappointed and flat about. I'm a bloke in my 50's so I've seen plenty of punches to the gut when it comes to decisions made at Board level. I'm definitely no happy clapper but the job NP and Tins have done to undo the terrible reigns of Mark Ashton and LJ has been admirable. How must NP in particular be feeling this morning? My guess is, angry and let down and what f@ck is the point? Hopefully, he doesn't get too despondent because if he did decide that he's had enough then we really could be heading back to square one. Again!

Which is exactly why I'm happy with the approach they have taken. For the sake of any doubt. Yes. I despise the G@sh.

He looks a bit like that c@nt with the dodgy shoes running from a horse at their sh!tehole a while back. Embarrassing!

Is that Security / Steward giving someone the middle finger? ?

I rarely go on to their 'Forum' but now and again I do when I'm having a particularly sh!te day. Today is one of those days so I had a quick look to cheer myself up. They start by saying, 'I don't know how the planning process works but .........' 'fast track route' ? 'surely we don't have to wait in a Queue' ? The best bit though: 'affects something of cultural importance to the city' ?? Thank you S@gchat for cheering me up!! 39 minutes ago Quote Post by heartofgas on 39 minutes ago I don't know how the planning process works but surely there is a fast track route if the planning permission affects something of cultural importance to the city. Surely we don't have to wait in a queue behind Mr Wilsons proposal to build a porch on the front of his 3 bed semi? dudelebowski Club Legend

I can hear them now as they pass the wildlife scene. 'I bet that was painted by some Gurt Ted coz they know we's cumin for em'.

Firstly, I need be clear on one thing. I really don't like Luton. I don't like the Town, I don't like the football club and I don't like Luton fans (and probably in that order). All the fairy tale stuff spouted about Luton really boiled my p!ss last season. However, I feel our squad and general feel around the place is as good as it's been for some time. Is our squad and management /coaching team for this season inferior to Luton Town FC of last season? I'm not proclaiming that we are going to finish top 6 and or then get promoted but I do think we could surprise a lot of people this season, even some of our own supporters. Praying that what is happening now is the beginning of something special and not another false dawn. I know, it's the hope that kills you.

My view is that outside of people who are close to each club then so called experts, podcasters etc haven't a clue about where a club is in it's quest for success and where they are likely to be come May 2024.

I started to read the posts by Topper G@s but I stopped when he wrote: 'Am I write in thinking'.

I like the subtle 'remaining 8 stands' ?

The Bayern fans were singing 'are you Swindle in disguise' and 'yer just a sh!t Swindle Town'.

I've had her. IDT INDST

It was worse than that. It was a struggle to stay awake during pre and post match interviews!

The bit you highlighted takes the point I make out of context. His ability and versatility are not in question. I'm saying that going to Bournemouth and getting more game time in a side that I think are likely to struggle and or be in a relegation battle versus a more limited game time scenario but interacting on a day to day basis with a better club / better players for a player at 19 years of age is a better scenario.
