I don't think it will happen, but the main thing this season was to avoid the drop and in 2 or 3 weeks time hopefully we'll be able to breathe easily knowing that we mathematically cannot be drawn into a relegation battle. Lots of positives to build on for next season. You can certainly feel that the mood has changed for the better. It's nice to look like we're enjoying the end of a season ride for a change.

Tramps in tented villages shouldn't throw stones....

You missed the most important one of all..... TINPOT!

Reliving my youth today with a classic from the 1980’s……Jet Set Waely. It’s the 2015 version. The kids aren’t impressed with the game play, they think it’s a bit Tinpot and dated…..which I suppose is bang on?!

The worst smell I'd imagine for them is.......Bullshit....and there's absolutely tonnes of it at the Slumorial.

I thought that about Henbury Gas! ?

Surely it's time to rename this thread..... "TINPOT BRISTOL ROVERS THREAD"???

They see themselves as a top end League One club who should be pushing for promotion to the Championship….the logic behind this is that they take 40,000 to Wembley. #Deludedliars

I've always felt that a manager needs to show that they are a leader and to psychologically get the players to buy-in, believe and be prepared to run through brick walls for their leader. I think that it is evident on the pitch now that the players are working tirelessly for each other and believe that they can compete and take this club in the right direction. I remember Clive Whitehead mentioning that Alan Dicks was a sort of father figure to the squad that got us promotion back in 1976 and I see the same thing in NP. He doesn't hide in his pre and post match interviews and he doesn't try to baffle anyone with 'football science speak' like previous managers have tried to do. He is firm, but fair and knows what he wants to achieve. I've tried to look at the bigger picture and have stated before how broken the club was when he stepped into the job. I was over the moon with his appointment and amazed that we managed to get such a well known name into the club, especially considering that the job that he was coming into was an almost impossible task! Let's not forget that the Leicester side that won the premier league was effectively assembled by him, and look at the season before he left when he created the 'great escape' for them. Ranieri had an easier job because NP had done all of the groundwork. He has the ability to instill belief and a feeling of togetherness in his squad. I think that we are starting to see the same thing happening here and I'm so pleased that we have remained patient. It's great to have an air of positivity around the club again, because it's been stale for far too long.

Come out smelling of Roses? Well, you know what they say….. ” In every bed of Roses there’s always one Pr1ck! “ ?? How do our red cousins feel?…..Laughing our bollocks off ever since at the totally deluded *****!

Absolutely Tinpot! Asking any retired tradesmen supporters if they could attempt to make improvements to Chernobyl for free rather than pay for it...... Tinpot

After years of providing endless gifts for us laugh our bollocks off at and being totally Tinpot in everything they do would it not be pertinent to rename this thread "Tinpot Bristol Rovers"? One thing I have learned from Gasheads that I know is that they absolutely seethe whenever they are referred to as "Tinpot". 1982 has zero effect on us, but "Tinpot" definitely hits the spot with Saggies. Being Tinpot IS 'what they do'.

Their response...(Fingers in ears) "La la la la la....1990....Rickie Lambert....Sheeeeeeeeeed'ead!"

I’ve got a lot of respect for PaulPowersLeftFoot who dealt the best ever crushing blow to a Gashead’s fragile mental state the last time we drew Man City in a cup competition…..

I thought your mob was the '6th Richest Club in the country'? Followed by.....'Unlucky Da Shit'! No, they were called the ultimate non-PC name of 'Black Arabs'. Good to see that in 2023 their code of ethics is still totally shot to pieces! .....ah, sorry to correct you, but according to 'Gaslogic' that club died in 1982 and all prior records were expunged and don't count for diddly squat.

What pleases me Har is the shift in mentality. Pearson has been firm (to some fans displeasure) but fair and you can see the team performing now as more of a solid unit. The West Brom game should have given the players the belief that they can more than just compete at this level when they do what they need to do. I'm happy with the window signings because we're now attacking at pace, beating people and getting balls into the box with defenders facing the wrong way. It's old fashioned but still bloody effective. For years I have been pulling my hair out watching slow build up possession play, allowing the opposition to get as many men behind the ball as possible and watching us pass it backwards and forwards across the 18 yard box, failing to find a slight gap and then retreating to the half way line. Much better football now. Pearson has had to have teflon shoulders and fair play to him. I'm more than happy that he's in charge, but would love to see him have the level playing field that his predecessors had when it comes to being able to spend to get exactly who you want.....with at least 3 transfer windows of it!

Solid performance all round. Just got to keep it simple and wait for the gaps to open up. We’re so quick on the break. So much better than trying to probe. Get at them and get round the back!

95% pass completion?

Amazing how confidence breeds confidence. Entertaining first half that. I hope that people can see how we are improving and the value of our academy system.

It’s what they ‘I do’

Oh look….the ‘arrogance’ line from the kings of being arrogant when comparing themselves to other clubs! W️’s

The gift ? #Tinpot ??

Some fans expect to win every game or sack everyone. Meltdowns can be seen every weekend up and down the country. At our club alone we should have been on our 15th manager already this season, challenging for promotion to the Premier League and spending millions we don't have on players we can't afford.

Exactly! At least show the correct marquee! “And now you’re gonna believe us, and now you’re gonna believe us…..”…..erm….no we’re not. ?

I remember it well. The other coming in the 5 goal demolition of Coventry.
