cidered abroad

And me bumping

That's a dumb question to ask. Pretty obvious isn't it? Junior Lansdown and Tinman are the reason.

Who is Twine? Or is it Thrice? Can he play football? I thought he was on a convalescent holiday in the south west as the sun doesn't shine in north east Lancashire until June!

Not? OR Not yet? So City will stay out of it until we need to beat Stoke in the last match of the season to stay up?

Bristol City under 18's. Well done to make the semi final. First time in a very long time. Is semi one or two legs?

Is game over? Still 1-0 to City

As you live locally and are hardly likely to be going there to cause trouble, get tickets in the home seats. Perhaps go there on one of their hospitality deals. You won't have to worry about what to do if we score as that is extremely unlikely.

He's got about eight weeks to make absolutely certain that we are not relegated. Can he manage 7 or 8 points to guarantee? I'm doubtful!

Who gives a fxxx who is manager at Manure?

For me, we are a certainty for going down, the eighth relegation of my time following City.

Last evening, my wife came into room where I was listening to RB. What's the score? 2-1 to City. She replied that they'll probably lose 3-2! And I thought you've got it right!

Well said and I agree 100%. Though maybe not on a long term basis as the Number One. But as a number Two?

There is nothing new in a left footed winger playing at outside right. The great Tom Finney was the best example. And at City Jantzen Derrick was a right footer playing on the left wing. Where the game changed dramatically was when Alf Ramsey changed tactics when he made the touchline huggers do more defensive work. Working with the full backs and wing halves to lessen opponents attempts on their own goal. The game of football changed forever from one in which the idea was to score goals, goals and more goals to being very happy to win 1-0 every match. Ideal for those coaches who can't think for themselves. We have the perfect example at Bristol City.

@Harry Thanks for your accurate opinion. If Manning, Tinnion and the Lansdowns stay here, I can see Division Four or even lower coming very quickly. After 74 years being a City supporter, I don't want to see this dross any more. Somebody required to screw the lid down please.

I wonder how you can be so sure that we're unlikely to drop into the bottom three. Continue like we are and it's a cast iron certainty that we'll end up in the relegation dogfight. And while the Blades are getting hammered this evening, we could be on the end of a very similar situation tomorrow. I really do hope that doesn't happen. I never want City to lose in any match, whoever the opposition are, football or tiddly winks and however much I believe that we need to change this head coach for a manager with the skill and experience to pick us up.

Very improbable? Don't kid yourself, keep losing and we will be well and truly in the scrap to stay up. And those that have been in the bottom four or five all season will be well aware of how to fight for points. Whereas we've been comfortable in mid table all the season.

I consider that it's pretty nigh impossible to get excited about City in matches. Why? Because it's sideways and backwards passing. It is so rare for any City move starting with a forward pass into the middle of midfield and that means no noise from any of our supporters.

I hope that you are correct. All I hope, I don't pray, not religious, is that it doesn't depend on a win at Stoke to send them down instead of us! Anyone else realised this possible scenario?

Could be "The last time we played Cardiff" for a long time.

0-2 to Brighton already.

I've had an ST for approximately 85% of years since my first in 1966/7. Had one when living in Shrewsbury and Livingston for a total of eleven years but didn't for seven years living in Portugal with one season but I did have one in 2008/9 and came to see 12 home games. Had standing ST in Covered End in early 1980's after 1982 fiasco. I'm now almost sure that if Manning is still here then I won't renew. I don't mind losing or playing badly and winning but this rubbish is dreadful.

I just listened to his post match interview. Blaming it all on the players not doing what he wants. What a sad person

I'm feeling the same after 74 seasons. It will be very hard to not renew and not come again but it's supposed to be entertaining, win lose or draw.

Six points away from bottom three! Safe? Like hell we are not. I wouldn't gamble on us staying up. Manning may be a useful coach but he's a lousy manager at this level. And can he take Tinnion when he leaves.

Considering the comments that I've seen since the Wednesday match, not there or even listening to Radio Bristol, the two full backs should be Tanner and Roberts. And I'll bet that he doesn't play two strikers. And how we need a midfielder who can make penetrating passes. How about Naismith instead of James or Williams? Anyway my pessimistic mind tells me that it will be another home defeat. Cheerful sod aren't I.
