Tinmans Love Child

Sir Alex didn’t leave them in a mess, he won the league, chose Moyes to succeed him, had a proper handover and had a plan in place to take them forward. The problem came when they sacked Moyes and then ripped up the plan and started chucking money about like confetti on managers and players with no idea what the plan was. They lost all culture and identity within a couple of years, and it will take many many more to turn it around.

A bit like the work phonetic starting with a ph!

The nicknames like Florist etc are so lame, yeh we get it, Florist sounds like Forest, cant OTIB introduce an autocorrect function to remove these? FFS has to be the most annoying post ever. Why sign into OTIB and then onto the match day thread to just post FFS, what a waste of time and energy! Not so relevant now but ‘Little Lee’ used to do my head in, such a deliberately derogatory and patronising phrase to use. To add a positive spin, I do enjoy when the puns take hold for a few pages, unlike the Monty Python quotes which we all know and have heard a billion times, just in OTIB, but still get trotted out to prove we all know the script of Life of Bryan!

Man Utd fans of that Ilk have had their fun, back to reality now! They will go as long as Liverpool did before they are anywhere near challenging again, it shows how well some of the previous sacked managers like OGS and Jose actually did with what is a disjointed, entitled, not as good as they think they are squad!

Lucky git

You don’t think 3 straight losses (IF that happens) including to 2 of the 3 promoted teams would be just cause for a rant?

Same here, would be good to get a notification if possible, have now renewed

I think I’m going to opt to ignore you via the options, maybe everyone else should do the same

If you need something to clean your car with I think a shammy will be much cheaper

For my, the best managers in my 30 odd years of support are Danny Wilson for the style of football, GJ for being the closest in 40 years to get us to the Prem (and that night in the playoffs v Palace), and SC for winning the double, and I don’t care if the stats do or don’t back that up or what league they won games in either!

I find the ‘they’ve spent all that money and are only 1 division ahead of us’ chat ridiculous, how many divisions do they want us to be ahead when there are only 4! ??

Obviously any links to Rovers that are not declared when signing and later uncovered would lead to an immediate ban

I must admit, I’ve not thought through the finer details yet ?? As it’s hypothetical anyway, I’d probs say anyone from the counties of Bristol, South Glos, North Somerset and maybe Banes “if I wanted to share the love” is allowed, but outside of that, not interested mate! I would allow siblings of long term season ticket holders who may live outside of the defined boundaries, but that would require a vote

Doubt it TP didn’t finish a season did he?

I love that Bilbao approach, I’d love City to do similar, I know it might mean less success (not that we have much anyway!) but it would really bring the whole club together, players and fans, all from Bristol area, all in it together, instead of the feeling that most players are just there as a job, not because they have any affection for the club. It would give us such a strong identify. It won’t happen obvs but would be nice

I think NP also suffers because of what he did at Leicester, and the expectation is that he has some kind of Midas touch and will succeed in doing the same here. The problem is that the factors are all different, so the chances of him doing that IMO are either low or completely unknown. If Neil Warnock, with multiple successes at multiple clubs in all sorts of situations, came in then I think the expectations would be justified, but maybe NP, like Danny Wilson before, has had his day in the sun when all the stars aligned, and it’s not going to happen again?

Apart from the top clubs trading grounds which are well documented, how does the HPTC compare?

I’ve joined both OTIB leagues, I do rubbish on these things normally! ??

‘They’ shouldn’t really have a say, if UEFA of FIFA or indeed the Prem decided it would improve the game to mic up refs (even if not broadcast) then it should happen. The lack of accountability from officials is staggering when you think how much money is at stake!

What you mean is you don’t have interest in sport played by women, football isn’t a ladies sport, it’s a sport that can be played by men and women, as can all sports! Do you think Serena Williams is low quality at tennis?

https://youtu.be/9UZ6A2KGGbg I think it’s only fair to share this clip from This Country on Fred West, brilliant! ?? “I know he’s done some iffy things, but as a builder he was top notch” ?

This popped up on my FB memories today, whilst the result from 10 years ago is obviously worth celebrating, my own comment about the stadium approval was far more pleasing!

Sorry not City ones but might be able to get some inspiration!
