Numero Uno

I would go to the Woodspring if I knock City in the head. No, the players aren't anywhere near as good but they are decent enough and, at the same time, you don't generally have managers at that level strangling the life out of football as an entertainment business with their tactics boards. If I wanted to watch a game of Chess I would watch two proper Chess players going at it hammer and tongs in a room somewhere (as much as you can go hammer and tongs in Chess)!! Football is about emotion and action so lesser players making mistakes here and there and not being tactically on point for a full 90 minutes often make for a more enjoyable game................with the ball being passed forwards, shots and goals. How many people want to leave a game and say "the way the two sides cancelled each other out so there wasn't a single shot on target in 90 minutes was totally captivating"?

If that was genuinely the case then you just bring in a replacement manager, keep the staff and go for continuity. Or you just give Nige the season off and tell him that if he's alright by June we'll look at a new contract. Curtis and Euell would have been able to deliver a lot more than Manning has. You seem to have ignored the front foot comments made by Sid, the deconditioning and the "better chance of success" comment from Crayon Boy that clearly demonstrate it was a SACKING..........of the entire staff, none of which, apart from Nige, had medical problems.

Facebook and X, haven't checked anywhere else. I wouldn't just say it to knock the club if it hadn't happened albeit I realise you may be asking out of curiosity!!

I see they’ve wheeled Conway out now “Buy your season tickets everyone, I’m ******* off obviously but get those hands in yer pockets……”.

Surely he cannot keep losing and keep his job?. Season Ticket sales are quiet, we all know that, and the club WILL have to act by 23rd April unless they really want to stick the biggest of middle fingers up to the fans!!

Surely it has to be SUAFO rather than STB on the T Shirt doesn't it................................that would keep our Chairman busy for a while.

Low Block, create next to nothing unless we get a set piece right, put in some effort, comfortable 1-0 or 2-0 loss. Bit of moaning tomorrow but everyone then having eyes firmly peeled on Monday where yet another defeat would be the end of Manning. That's how I see it.

I personally hope the numbers are terrible tbh. I know a few are banging the drum but short of not renewing, an action taken by some but possibly not as many as one or two think it might be (we'll see), it's the only way those who want to attend have of saying "look hierarchy, we really aren't happy with the way you are running things, this is your warning shot". I am not criticising anyone for renewing immediately, it's your choice, but I think it is a missed opportunity because you are handing Jon and Brian all the ammo they need to feel vindicated and that you support everything they've done. If you do, that's fair enough and of course you would renew immediately but if you don't I find the immediate renewal odd tbh. The club apologists completely fail to read the room in that if this continues for the next 12 months alongside a few daft kick off times the club will genuinely lose THOUSANDS rather than hundreds of season ticket holders. The situation is that grave for me. Put it this way my warning shot is exactly that and they are only getting one. First time since I've stopped playing football nearly twenty years ago that I am not renewing unconditionally. Strings attached now. Loads of other grounds I can visit on a Saturday, catch up with people and enjoy what is on offer and if the Binary Ball continues I might even start missing a few of ours and going elsewhere next season anyway.

They are, it's a wind-up. Crayon Boy thinks it's funny.

Exactly. A losing PERFORMANCE will be tolerated as far as Binary Boy is concerned. He needs that for his own career anyway. Then he will be more sevely judged on what happens Monday - which is fair too. Anything other than a committed performance where we are looking like competing with Leicester is going to look awful for the Lansdowns........that's what happens when you treat "customers" with contempt for your own fun.

I won't be leaving it until the very last day because the way the club are going out of their way to deceive and antagonise fans at the moment I could easily envisage a system crash on the last day. How Bristol City (Bristol Sport Lansdown Era) FC would that be?

They might just get the message if a few thousand or more wait until the end of renewals that any repeat of their shit show and the obvious piss taking of supporters for their own fun will have more serious repercussions next time round. If Jon Lansdown continues with his deliberately antagonistic attitude towards fans, backed up by the bloke lacking integrity and running the football alongside him, they could be in a very awkward position in 12 months time and the joke will end up on them. We will have less ST holders next season, that’s pretty much a guarantee, it’s just how bad it looks to them that matters.

Some people fall for the BS BS hook line and sinker.................

Instead of playing in League 1 in a nicer Ashton Gate in 18 months time if we aren't careful....................... Swallow it, the bloke has invested a shed load, for which we are all grateful, and in the overall scheme of things has achieved very little outside of bricks and mortar.

Give it time and this stuff will be flying out………..to Mogadishu, Brazzaville and Port au Prince.

I genuinely believe it’s the latter.

Tbh it's about time somebody hid the ******* crayons down there.

The club have obviously worked out that many aren't renewing season tickets until close to deadline day so are trying to fleece us in a different way.......

Somebody is going to get ruined in the Dressing Room tomorrow at training.......................

Walker is a big miss as his pace gets others, and himself sometimes, out of trouble. Stones is prone to lapses occasionally and it's interesting that Pep plays him further forward for the most part these days. If we were as good at the back as we are in the other areas of the team we would take some stopping. The problem is that the top sides like France and Spain know that as long as they stay in the game against us they WILL get two gilt edged opportunities to score...........and so it proved at the last world cup.

As for our Welsh “cousins” anyone remember the Italy flag in the away end when we played Swansea? Now you know what it’s like to lose a penalty shoot out in a big game boyo’s. Enjoy that!!

England are good going forward when Southgate allows the handbrake to be realeased and ropey defensively. There were enough chances created last night to put Belgium to bed, they profited from two League 2 standard mistakes and created one clear chance when we committed bodies forward at the end. Sels had a very good game. Kane and Saka to come in too. However this England team always leaves the back door unlocked and that will continue to cost us at the business end of any tournament. We don’t have a Bellingham, Saka or Kane equivalent at the back. All decent, no more. There is no comparison with Bristol City who sit in a low block and create the square root of **** all. It’s nonsense to compare the two as we are so bad.

You could argue that at Yeovil he actually smashed the foundations in.......................

When people in "Tinnion's position" generally give out stats I would tend to agree but when TINNION gives out a stat I wouldn't believe a word of it without checking. I mean he told us we beat Southampton 3-0, must be right..............

You couldn’t lose 13 out of your last 14 and keep your job. Steve would completely lose credibility across pretty much the entire fanbase in that scenario. His ego is too big for that.
