  1. Pring with so much desire. He'll be another one we'll be lucky to hold onto in the summer
  2. Great win. For the first time in ages, it really feels like the club is in a great place - money worries decreasing, fantastic academy boys coming through, and team performing well. Exciting times ahead
  3. You just used free speech and free thought to make that post...? Noone is stopping you saying what you want. However freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences. Society as a whole has decided that homophobic insults are not acceptable and if someone chooses to yell these out at a football match, they will get into trouble. Just to add: it might be tempting to believe there is some big left wing conspiracy to stop people saying what they want, but reality is, some words/language have always been socially unacceptable. Its not unique to the current day and age
  4. Not to mention a crushing cost of living crisis when many people are struggling to put food on the table, let alone go to the football
  5. Fair. That's what I meant by the shit part. But at least we got a few decent performances and there was a bit of positivity around Ashton gate
  6. Sack. I'm not normally one for changing managers, but Pearson is taking us down. He comes across as a stubborn bully and I think his style of management is outdated
  7. We have far greater problems in the team than who is in goal
  8. I miss the Johnson days. True, there was a lot of shit, but at least there were some highs and noone could say Johnson didn't have the best interests of the club at heart
  9. It's like we're playing hoping to keep the score down to 4-0
  10. Ridiculous that he's been frozen out by Pearson the whole season
  11. We showed enough in parts of that match to stay up. But terrible defending again has let us down. Special mention for Pring, who had a decent match
  12. At least Germany weren't dancing around like smug p****s when they were already 4-0 up
  13. I find this Brazilian team much more unlikeable than previous Brazils. Mainly because of Neymar I guess
  14. Totally agree that the UK's public transport is useless (apart from maybe central London). It's been basically sabotaged by years of privatisation and underfunding, and the cuts in the 60s which robbed the country of most of its local train network. However, I live in Berlin which has excellent public transport and a decent network of cycle paths, and yet many people still choose to drive. Cars are great for convenience, but bad for just about everything else: air and noise pollution, vast areas of the country given over to roads and car parks, road traffic deaths etc. I get why some people need to drive - if you have limited mobility, or young kids, when you've got a van load of tools, or when there's no bus/train for your route, or when you're heading to the football with a car full of mates for example. But I have colleagues here who drive to work in the office because it takes 45 mins by bus vs. 30 mins by car - which leads to all the problems I mentioned above and more congestion for people who really need to drive. Understand your point about these congestion schemes, but equally I don't think simply making public transport better will drastically reduce the congestion on the roads - not until driving is less comfortable and/or people stop seeing the car as the default method of getting around. Expand the scope of public transport, make it affordable... and make driving more expensive/less convenient. Just my opinion and maybe not a popular one, but I hope that car traffic will be restricted in city centres. As you mentioned, the roads are now too dangerous to cycle in - largely I imagine by the sheer volume of traffic.
  15. FAMMMYYY!! Haven't said that in while. Nostalgic
