  1. I feel that Burnley are very controlled and playing within themselves while WBA are a bit frantic.
  2. I'm not sure I can add much to what's already been said. I'm liking the squad too, which seems very together, and if we can avoid serious injuries I am looking forward to a comfortable top half of the table finish. I suspect (hope) that we will avoid a points deduction but even if we a small deduction fully expect us to overcome it. I expect more to come from the U21s. Towler and Idehen going out on loan could mean that Aroaye plays more for the U21s alongside Callum Wood and Joe Low, who looks the real deal and may get a 1st team start or two before the season finishes. Dylan Kadji has already appeared in the Carabao Cup and surely young Owers and, Tommy Backwell will get a look in somewhere, if only training with the 1st team. Exciting times ahead.
  3. The cruyff turn in the second half while defending was outrageous. I tend to side with good outweighing the bad at present but he is responsible for a number of goals we've conceded thus season so needs to up his game going forward.
  4. That prat Prutton has predicted a 2-1 City win tonight so it won't be that.
  5. Ridiculous that these games from the HPC are not on Robins TV.
  6. Given that most songs on British terraces come from American songs! Show tunes e g you'll never walk alone, Blue moon, the red red robin, Goodnight Irene etc perhaps the yanks could reciprocate with English songs, 'Who are you?' being an obvious choice.
  7. About right. Never liked the badge which looks more like a stylised BS for Bristol Sport than any resemblance to a Robin. If only we'd put a Robin on a gate with the Clifton suspension bridge in the background.
  8. Happy Birthday Mr Dicks and May you have many more.
  9. I love watching his interviews. The way he puts down the Press, and their non-sensical questions, always amuses me. You would have thought by now that they should be au fait with the workings of the club and the manner in which Nige operates but they never learn. Great stuff.
  10. The importance is that he remains fit and healthy for himself and his family. He has been, and will always be missed by City and supporters everywhere. I wish all the best in whatever the future holds for him.
  11. Interesting piece on Watford's 100 years at Vicarage Road last night. The first team to introduce a family stand which is now named after Ann Swanson the supporter who set it up. Made we wonder if there are any other grounds that have a stand named after a supporter rather than a player, chairman, director, owner etc.
  12. We know it's always been two thirds red one third blue but fractions beyond a half are too complicated for the gentlemen of the Press.
  13. Signed hs first professional contract, a 3 year deal. Another advancing through the academy. Araoye says it's a 'dream come true' as hard work is rewarded with pro City deal https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/bristol-city-starlet-reacts-becomes-7515827#ICID=Android_BristolPostApp_AppShare
  14. Glad that's cleared up. I was unsure whether I should be supporting Kiwi or Cherry Blossom whilst buffing up the footwear in the water closet.
  15. Promised him free bets on 365 but he's bet on Sunderland to finish above Stoke.
  16. I do despair sometimes when the ball is pumped into him in the manner that it is. He wins his fair share of headers by timing his jumps well but at 6ft he's no collossus of a centre forward. Much better to ping it to his feet where he can lay off to runners.
  17. Why is it that only left pegs are magical? Nobody ever talks about a magical right peg.
  18. I rather like the biscuits. It is well worth a visit but get yourself fit before visiting the Cathedral. It's at the top of Steep Hill and the name is not ironic.
  19. Just got in from Wycombe and it's job done. Another early goal (from young Kadji) but we didn't capitalise in the 1st half. After Wycombe's equaliser they troubled us for a spell but the subs made a difference, particularly Scott who glided past players. Good goal from Kane Wilson who guided the ball into the net and a simple tap in for Semenyo after Conway unselfishly slid it to him past their keeper. Not sure about Tanner playing the right side of a back 3 but otherwise we did enough to earn our home tie with Lincoln in November.
  20. A stellar career. I wish her all the best in whatever she does with the rest of her life.
  21. No surprise. As mentioned elsewhere Francois is injured and Pearson made it clear at the end of the pre-season friendlies that Araoye will play in his own age group. As he's 17 that means the U18s mostly with perhaps the odd game for the U21s
  22. I'm going. I sort of like Adams Park as the partridges fly in from down the valley. Point of information. For a Windsor Chair (the ones where turned slender spindles are socketed into a solid saddle shaped seat) to be genuine it must be made in Wycombe.
  23. I always thought Morton to be a decent player. But as I said back on July 3 he seems destined to be another Frankie Artus, a perennial player, even sometime captain for the reserves/development side but never to don a 1st team shirt.
  24. Discussed by Klopp. I've seen nothing official from the Premier League.
