i wont a new manager. 17 games without a home win is Pathetic. i know i will take stick for saying this but so what.  fed up with going to Ashton gate to see this week in week out. surely i am not on my own thinking about a change.

NP never promised to be a miracle worker but he has improved us considerably.

Yes it's extremely frustrating, annoying & possibly upsetting but I feel confident he will get us through this .

Funny Ipswich, on their official blurbs, don't mention Bristol City once, the suited *** just says that he's worked with him for a number of years ! I get the impression there is no love lost between *** face and us .

Just love your descriptions of "the suited ***"

I don't think this is odd at all.  He seems to get hit with illness with Covid, though presumably not as bad this time as last.  Therefore his immune system is still getting back to strength and he'd be susceptible to picking up stuff.  At the moment there are an awful lot of pretty bad coughs and colds around, and so it wouldn't make sense for him to go into a crowded pub where lots of people are going to be and to want some time with him.  Seems perfectly reasonable to me.

And very sensible

Did they come in a proper pint glass or one of those ridiculous tall Peroni ones that are just asking to be knocked over once everyone's had a couple. 

Bloody nightmare if there are 5 or 6 on a table.

Skittles comes to mind

Is there a rule in football that women can't play in a mens team?

 

Interesting question, womens tennis, cricket & Aussie Rules football have their own competitions in Oz, is it the same in the UK?

Amazing how quickly some “fans” turn on Weimann - the best footballer at our club - interestingly though, most of Andi’s critics can’t spell his name correctly ...

Some of our fans turn on anyone that has a bad day, I'm probably next in line after this statement

Not sure thats true. The number of games recently where the woodwork and poor finishing has saved us is remarkable. QPR, Fulham, Luton spring to mind. Our defending for the most part , Bentley aside, has been very poor.

I'm not looking for an argument but I've always believed that you create your own luck & the constant pressure our defence has been putting on the opposition could possible be causing mistakes/poor finishing.

Just my way of looking at it

You are a sad person Humpshire reds.........................lighten up, the worlds not that bad a place 

After ploughing my way through all this, I just wish that all the posters that are jumping up & down & calling for NP's head would **** off & support the blue few, then they will really have something to cry about. This was never going to be a quick transition from the dire position we found ourselves in, NP has to be given the time & adequate funds when they become available.

In the meantime please stop acting like spoilt clueless brats

Would be delighted if they got relegated.

I understand your feelings but the sad fact is that they have been sucked in just as we did & I don't really think that relegation is deserved by trusting someone. A painful exercise as well we know, I just hope they come to their senses before it's too late, if it isn't already.

No, it's been a pretty crap year for me as is well documented on here. However, I have always maintained a phone call can change your life in a minute.

Basically I retired back in March 2020 which suited me what with covid and issues with my Mum & Wife. Now with Mum having passed and Wife now on the road to recovery my main issue has been boredom. I am 62 years old and my brain needs to be stimulated. Not by going fishing, gardening or shopping but by things that make me think. 

To cut a short story long I have taken up the offer of a position with a major London council working on the supply of new social housing. From work I've done in the past this will be easy and i can split my time between here and London. Start next Monday and just can't wait.

This will certainly boost my mental wellbeing rather than just sitting and dwelling on things. It's my way of pulling myself together and saying "bollox to all this".

It should work out but equally it may not. Either way I've given it a go.

Strangely some business associates who dropped me like a stinky turd during the dark times are now all back in contact wanting to meet up. On my conditions only the lot of them.

Conversely some others were fantastic throughout and we will certainly continue the friendships on both a business and personal level.

I suppose the point I am trying to make is that sometimes we need to look at ourselves and get through the difficult times. Not easy i understand. As I said, some will drop you but true friends will stand with you. It is only them I want in my life.

Only just picked up on this Tone, its funny how many of us in our working life wish we were retired, then when it happens wish we were back working. I haven't worked for 20yrs due to injury (I'm now 73) & the early years were hell. Grandchildren playing sport, photography & fishing have been enormously helpful. Also try to keep out the way of "The War Office" keeps me active.

Glad you've found something to help you Tone, stay safe mate.

TRL summed it up well earlier & I think in these times that we just can't afford to have high wage earners sat back not involved for whatever reasons.

Good luck to the guy & his family.

I said I would no longer respond to you, so apologise for doing so.

I should just like to say that you shouldn’t hesitate to post as you have as much right as anybody on this forum to post and say (subject to the usual limits) whatever you want and in whatever manner you wish.

You should be aware, however, that you (and your posts) will undoubtedly receive sarcastic responses, such is the nature of a forum - if I may say so, however, just try and ignore such responses or, if you really must reply, try not to respond aggressively so as to avoid any risk of being banned.

Just put him on the ignore list as I have

I normally wake circa 3am most nights for about an hour and then doze off again.  I also have Sleep Apnoea so need to use CPAP at night. As for emptying my bladder at night my mattress absorbs most so no great problem !!

Just make sure you sleep in the shallow end Tone, no probs then
