This ref 

Usual standard 

The traffic was so bad I was, unfortunately, still in the car listening to RB when JB was being interviewed. What a very odd and deeply unpleasant person he is. He really isn't totally sane. At least that's what I thought. Yet inexplicably the blue few love him.

Having 69% possession!

Bell needs to be braver on the left flank. Sykes hasn't played too badly on the opposite side.

Faes is probably their best defender in the first half, Sam's not getting anywhere against him 

So frustrating, we can't build any meaningful attacks

A few on their forum saying Pearson may not be at the game due to back surgery. Is this correct?

I was reliably told that he is having his op on Tuesday.

One of these might be clearer

Jerry also gave a stadium tour at 10am for those who were interested.

It was very interesting and a real eye opener for those like me who have generally only experienced the concourse and seating part of the new stadium 

Anyway, who broke it?

Yep same here but odd that some could?

I wish I could have. Had to go to Cribbs with Mrs F R and instead of happily browsing OTIB sat on one the benches, I had no alternative but to feign interest and enter the shops!

The Tour came through LA a few years ago and they did Providence Ln, an 8% gradient climb over 1km. Brutal. 

I went and saw the finish of the Tour in Cheltenham a few years back. I don't really get it, waiting around for hours for 30 seconds of action. Was in hospitality thankfully so a free bar and food, at least!

That's why the best vantage points are on climbs. I was at the top of Providence Lane, saw Andre Greipel breeze up there and he was not a good climber, made you realise how fit they all are. Also seeing Cav casualty chatting to Wiggins as they cruised up Charfield Hill a few years ago was quite a sight. It's an opportunity to see some of the best cyclists in action without having to travel far. Worth going to the start as well, as I did when it was in Bath a few years ago. 

Also stood on the Champs Elysees for over six hours to watch the Tour. At least they go past several times

I went up the other night and then turned left by the monument, got some good speed down until i saw a massive pothole and gravel and was glad i had disc brakes!! 

That's another descent I gingerly negotiate. I'm almost as slow going down them as going up them! Same going down Hinton Hil

And I'm wary of the cows on Hawkesbury common, but haven't been attacked yet

I went up that the other day, had me blowing

It's a tough climb, as is Stinchcombe, which they all sailed up at some pace making it look easy

I was expecting some excitement going down Horton hill...but it looks like all the gravel and pot holes had disappeared

I'll look out for filled potholes the next time I go down there . But these guys go so fast they probably skip over the rough bits!

When I go down there it's always with brakes almost full on!

Watched it on ITV4 (between the huge amount of ads!)

Enjoyable to watch them ride many of my favourite roads that I ride at a very much slower pace

Someone was holding a BCFC flag at the bottom of Wotton Rd just past the garden centre

Him and Cornick are not looking like good buys.

Looking more like goodbyes.

Hang on linesman might flag

Williams for god's sake!

Sykes puts the ball in orbit 

One for @Dr Balls to educate us?

After his initial targets were undermined by Pelling.

Which included provisional deals agreed for Maguire and Grey.

Gayle was never part of the early recruitment targets and was more paper talk than reality.

Very poor performance. Not one City player better than their Birmingham opponent. I would happily swap our squad for theirs.

Brilliant
