  1. The problem with those traditional leprechaun fonts, is they get pixie-lated.
  2. In our defence its not The Fonts, but Cunningham who really annoys me. Happy Days!
  3. When Doves cry. Truly the Prince of fonts. Sorry, its been a long week.
  4. Remember, promotion is a long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long-term project.
  5. Yeah, its All Quiet On The Western Font.
  6. Yeah, that was a bit Alan Partridge, or was it Richard Madeley?
  7. Very true. And our injury problems are becoming a rendition of "10 Green Bottles..." Where will it end? Just to add to the article, I'm sure that Diara also stamped on Matty's ankle later in the first half.
  8. On a serious note, here's the article... Nigel Pearson reveals latest injury concern to Bristol City midfielder ahead of Blackpool test - Bristol Live (bristolpost.co.uk) Nigel Pearson reveals latest injury concern to Bristol City midfielder ahead of Blackpool test The central midfielder picked up a knock to the ankle in the first half during Tuesday's 0-0 draw with Huddersfield Nigel Pearson has confirmed Matty James will be a doubt to face Blackpool at the weekend after taking a knock to the ankle in the draw at Huddersfield. The midfielder looked in discomfort in the first half following an impact injury and was limping for periods after receiving treatment from the City physios. There were initial concerns about whether James would need to be replaced as Andi Weimann warmed up on the sidelines but he continued to play the full 90 minutes. It's unclear when the injury occurred although he was on the receiving end of a dangerous tackle from Matty Pearson, in which his opponent went in with his leg raised. Referee Leigh Doughty brandished a yellow card which could have been a red on another day. James moved more freely in the second half but Pearson's lack of options in the middle may have been in his mindset as he resisted substituting the 31-year-old. Academy prospect Omar Taylor-Clarke was the only natural midfielder on the bench as he awaits his league debut. Speaking after the game, Pearson said: "Matty James will be a concern for the weekend just because of a problem he picked up with his ankle from a challenge in the first half. But he managed to play the full game which is a credit to him." James has been one of City's most consistent and in-form players since the turn of the year and his absence would be another blow should he fail to recover for the visit of Mick McCarthy's Championship strugglers. Andy King made his first start this year and played the full game despite doubts he would be able to play the full game due to his recent lack of minutes. Pearson is already dealing with a small injury crisis in his squad after confirming Joe Williams will miss the rest of the season with a hamstring injury while defender Tomas Kalas will be out of action for around six weeks. "It's not good news I'm afraid, for Joe that will be his season finished so that's a disappointment for himself and for us," Pearson told BBC Radio Bristol. "He's been one of our really consistent performers as of late. "Tomas will be out for around six weeks I would assume. It could be less but I don't want to build people's expectations up necessarily. It's a setback for Tomas so in the two games he's played he's been really good for us. "It's never easy when players have to deal with injuries but certainly for those two who have had problems over the last year or so, it's a setback for them. And certainly, for us, it will be a miss because we've got a really tight squad so players will have to step up."
  9. HUDDERSFIELD [A] the verdict .... sorry Neil, you’re taking this lot down! | Forever Bristol City Podcast (podbean.com) Huddersfield are a very poor side and even though they're already displaying the traits of a Neil Warnock inspired team their fans will be watching League 1 football next season. The fact is though we didn't beat them, indeed, were it not for missed chances we should have been out of sight by half time and there's no denying we have a lack of goals crisis developing with only one from open play in the past 6 games. Ian & debut boy Tom H join DaveP in reviewing the match action and looking forward to Saturday's game vs. Blackpool
  10. You just broke the Internet and I don't have any glue to fix it!
  11. Is this a spot the Polar Bear competition? Behind the goal?
  12. 20 pints of what he's drinking barman!
  13. You're right to say that we should be more patient with Mehmeti, but wrong about his experience at this level. He made 29 championship appearances for Wycombe 2 seasons ago and scored 3 goals
  14. James was outstanding considering the kicking he endured. In the Cryogenic Chamber at the HPC tomorrow, I'll bet. Heaven help us if Matty is out of action..
  15. No goals from open play for 414 minutes is the problem. Needs to change pronto. We've defended far better since Boxing Day, but need to use this platform to win matches.
  16. We tired at the end and Diara was breaking the lines. Perhaps James was limited in the second half due to the hammering his ankle took in the first.
  17. Weimann saved us with his header off the line in injury time. Well done Andi. Our decision making and delivery in the final third has to improve, plus the shooting. That's the frustrating thing, because James and Scott opened the pitch up with their running, but it comes to nowt.
