Unusually concise. You alright Dave?

Fury and Usyk are both talented and skilful boxers. I would like to see a unification bout.

AJ is an advertising hoarding by comparison

*logs back into OTIB for the first time in a while*

Thanks for the supportive comments, everyone. Initially, I post everytime the podcast has a new episode out (other podcasts, or people from them, do the same), so am not expecting many replies after that.

Part of the reason I joined OTIB was, as well as being a fan of City men since the 2000s, I also wanted to discuss more about City Women, especially as the existing thread on here didn't have as much activity since I started posting in it. I've also started writing for the OTIB fanzine on the team as well.

I contribute to posts about City men too, but a lot of the time whatever opinion I have may have already been said by someone else. And while there is more of a one club mentality going around, it's up to the fans to get involved in that as well.

If you don't follow the women's team, then I wouldn't expect anyone to respond to any posts I make about them, or the podcast either. Hope that clarifies a few things

Keep up the good work @shahanshahan. Some of us appreciate your enthusiasm and personally I think it is important to foster a ‘one club’ culture. 

Might be the first time the bottom of the table manager has been nominated

Really interesting watch.

Goes into some detail regarding fitness programs, loading and injury prevention. Some interesting graphs showing improvement on last season in there as well.

Certainly inspires confidence that the players fitness and performance is in good hands.

Worth 15 mins of your time.

 

Graphs? @Davefevsis going to be all over this

On the subject on city players being refused memberships.

I did some work, on a golf course near clevedon years ago.

The guy who owned it was a right stickler.

He said, i had some city players here once.

He said that tommy doherty got changed in the car park.

I asked the group leader not to bring him again he said.

Was it Salthouse Fields?

2-1 win in tricky weather conditions

O’Dowda is utter garbage.

Ah, the Matt Smith tactic. Cunning.

This team literally don’t know where the opposition goal is

If Bakinson, Palmer and O’Dowda in midfield is the answer, what the **** was the question?

The difference without Williams is stark

Fleming out

The poor standard def red button picture doesn’t help

The HD red button picture is about 10fps. Not great.

Burned what little there is of his reputation during one of his earlier job interviews when he was asked about specific players in the squad and what formation he would play. He couldn't actually name any of the players !!! (not exactly well prepared). This was from everyone's favourite Talk Sport co host Simon Jordan.

Doesn’t mean he can’t have another chance though. He’s obviously desperate for a manager/head coach role and I hope he gets another opportunity. Maybe the Rovers job will be available again soon.

Prior to the -12 they were on 10 points from 8 games. 1.25 ppg. Keep that up and they would get another 47.5 points from the remaining 38 games (lets be generous and round that up to 48). Sees them finish on 46, and likely relegated. As you say, a further -9 and they're done.

They need to improve their early form if they are to survive. 

It depends whether these events create a siege mentality and the team starts playing better or it undermines confidence and it all falls apart. Character, do they have enough?

By Gaslogic, Wael is therefore also friendly with Will Smith, and he can be expected on the coaching staff soon..

 

Didn’t even spell Aladdin correctly. Hasn’t got the hang of this social media influence lark, has he

Fortunately his choice of football managers and coaches is impeccable.

What an absolute ladysausage 

Fixed that for you

I’m praying they don’t make a rash decision and sack Joey Barton. 
Wael, if you read this, he is the right man for Bristol Rovers.

During the pandemic, Arsenal first put Gunnarsauraus on furlough before finally making him redundant. He only got his job back when Mesut Ozil paid his wages for a period. My guess is that the club still have Scrumpy on furlough and will bring him back soon.

(NB - I’m aware Gunnarsauraus is not a real dinosaur and Scrumpy not a real Robin, I’m clearly referring to the people in the suits before someone pulls me up on that!)

Next you’ll tell me Father Christmas isn’t real

Christ alive, another injury time goal.....as well as sitting too deep, got to be a mentality thing too now. Has to be addressed.

Too easy to get into our final third.

1|0 would have been robbery to be fair to Luton. So poor tonight

3 place grid penalty for Max says it all.

I lost respect for him today, not necessarily because of the incident but his attitude. He must have known he had been on top of Hamilton’s car and did not ask if he was ok. Radio message was basically “**** you” and he just walked off. Nasty little shit

His dad was the same when he was in F1
