Heddlu hate us.

Ain't that the truth. 

Be Zen.

City were good against Reading? Maybe.

City were shit against Sheffield United? Maybe.

City are shit? Maybe.

It's constantly in flux. It's the only way I can cope.

Your mate still working at a club?

Yes, would be interesting to know how far the net was cast wouldn’t it?

A running joke supposedly. 

Tenuously associated with a 'recruitment agency' via an academic institution nowadays.

Who?

I think Nige will now know whether recruitment is up to scratch or not.  We will find out in January.

If he hasn't worked it out by now then I'd be concerned! 

Just come 45 minutes earlier and walk up North Street to any number of restaurants that are half the price and twice as good.

Up the ******* Tomas imo

If you're reading this forum Stokies -

I'm still cracking up that we won with a goal from a long throw, and that Jojo Allen had an absolute job done on him. I'll probably still be giggling when I get in bed tonight.

Sky just showed the Massengo vs Chester pen appeal and called it a defo pen even though Chester pulled on Massengo's hair with both hands! 

Pulling hair is surely the most cowardly of fouls?! Maybe pulling a beard is worse?!

I honest to god once had a centre back pull on my pubes at a corner, I think they can handle a little hair pulling above the shoulders.

Yep, thought both were great tonight, Martin murdered them in the air and did some great closing, Weimann Duracel bunny fantastic towards the end. It’s been mentioned before and think a fair challenge, that we don’t have enough players at the peak of their careers mid to late twenties, but tonight, both Dad’s Army and the yoof were fantastic. 
 

Very dodgy first 15 mins or so and hardly entirely safe thereafter, but plenty of chances created ourselves and looked to be a proper connection between defence, midfield and forwards. Think where Benarous plays makes a huge difference to a better shape, along with having attack minded wing backs (albeit think Vyner needs to concentrate a bit harder to cover Scott, Baker seemed a lot better covering O’Dowda on the other side). Can’t claim I had either Benarous or Scott/O’Dowda as wing backs on my “come on Nige/Curtis, it’s obvious what to do” list, so fair play, credit where it’s due. 

As others have said, fans great as well. The celebratory, rather than terrified, mood at about 90 mins was great to see/hear. 

Benarous' disciplined really surprised me - for a boy making his first few steps in men's football, he kept demanding the ball after he got battered, kept his shape (for the most part) when he had to track back, closed down his man with real guts and determination - a genuinely good performance.

Was meant to go tonight but can't afford the train right now, so gutted I missed out on the inevitable celebrations (have one for me if you're reading/posting on OTIB in the pub).

Signs of an NP resurgence? Or is that a bit presemptuous?

Hard running from Martin and Weimann cannot go unnoticed. That quick to the ball, intense City, backed up by noisy fans at AG is a hell of a combination.

Fucvk me. I’ve had enough of these sky commentators. I’m off to work. 

Can you please investigate Goodman's harddrive? I've heard he's been taking pictures of Michael O'Neill getting out of the shower with a telephoto lens. 

Kinell I don't know how much longer I can listen to Sky fellate Stoke. 

Chew my knob, that is never a red.

Love the Black Country New Road album - saw them as a support act a few years ago and have been waiting for the album since then. Just pipped to the top of my list by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis’s album which is unbelievable- compounded by seeing them at the Royal Albert Hall last month. Also agree with the Wolf Alice album - they were definitely the highlights of the televised Glastonbury substitute earlier in the year. Top ten for me as follows:

1. Nick Cave and Warren Ellis - Carnage

2. Black Country New Road - For the First Time

3. Idles - Crawler

4. Amyl and the Sniffers - Comfort to me

5. Ty Segall - Harmonizer

6. Wolf Alice - Blue Weekend 

7. Courtney Barnett - Things Take Time, Take Time

8. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Butterfly 3000

9. Bicep - Isles

10. Slowthai - Tyron

 

 

 

 

Definitely approve of the Aussie/Flightless influence.

Still hoping that Gizz will be doing Glastonbury or a major UK festival, announced a European tour with ZERO UK dates but a big tasty gap in the middle of it.

I'm doing work at the moment on the anthropological study of Bristolians/BCFC.

Big question - where do you walk to the ground from? Do you get the train? Park up? What route do you take to walk to the ground?

The Matty Taylor situation hurt them like you wouldn’t believe. They were all gloating about how they were  definitely getting promoted and we were definitely getting relegated blah blah...then we sign their best player for peanuts. He helped us stay up and they bottled it.

They pretend they’re over it but they’re not.

Just be grateful you don’t have to live in the same City as the bitter and twisted, B.O. stinking, badly dressed bastards.

Inbred subhumans. That's reality.

**** the lot of em.

Interesting, makes a lot of sense when you think about it. Why so many people who watch the prem on telly, have no actual emotional connection with any of the clubs. 

Exactly.

It's an odd phenomenon, but the experience of 'shared loss' somehow binds us all closer together under the 'signifier' of Bristol City fan.

The more we ask what @spudskidoes in the thread title, the more we have to peel back the idea that supporting a football club is somehow natural. It IS a choice, but the sociocultural reality we're surrounded by tacitly forces it upon us. I can't just stop supporting City, and neither can you. The burgenoing area of football anthropology/sociology has some really interesting things to say about why it is we continue to spend such a large proportion of our income on STs, despite the 'product' being crap.
