  1. To be fair Robbored did say enough quality players which is fair comment, of course they have had some over the years but maybe not enough at the same time.
  2. They don't make programmes like that anymore.
  3. Prefer an Indian myself :laugh:.
  4. I was thinking of the saving of building 3 or 4 miles of brand new track plus I would expect land to be a lot more expensive in Portishead to build the station due to all the residential constructions going on, but yes the original cost was supposed to be £37 million they should have just got on with it but we all know how building projects fare in this part of the world I give you the music arena and Ashton vale stadium as just two examples.
  5. There are a few office and industrial areas but I don't think there is enough employment opportunity to justify spending the amount the rail line would cost. I have always said they should either build the station at portbury and have a park and rail there or just build a park and ride by the Gordano services if they want to take traffic off the roads, both schemes would be a hell of a lot cheaper, my opinion is that the whole project is an idea who's time has passed.
  6. I think the WFH phenomenon will be the death of this project, the vast majority of people that would have used it to commute into Bristol would have been just the type that can do their job at home in Portishead, this rail link cannot now be justified, the world of work especially office and finance has changed for ever, and well the cost alone £180 million+ is enough to finish it off.
  7. It's a record that I very much doubt will ever be beaten in mine or anyones lifetime, a very unwanted record which will give every city fan for all eternety something to laugh about.
  8. As far as achievments go taking into account the last 40 years yes, in, reality Luton town will never be able to be considered a bigger club than us ever. Which makes the fact that clubs like them and there have been plenty since we dropped out of the top flight all the more frustrating.
  9. They must have forgotten 2008 the year we finished 4th.
  10. Well it certainly wouldn't be last :laugh:.
  11. That's your opinion, only pure conjecture, nobody knows what might have happened and even one season up there would have been better than the 14 years and still waiting we have all endured since, and some of us have got less time left than others in which to see us finally play again in the top flight.
  12. I think they will both lose and goal difference will be Burnleys saviour.
  13. What the Championship's not good enough for Sunderland comment, what an embarrassment he was cringeworthy.
  14. So glad to hear he has made a recovery from his lowest point and is at least in a position to enjoy the game tomorrow, best wishes and that he makes a full recovery in the fullness of time, hope he realises the goodwill and gratitude from all of us here at Bristol city.

    RIP Tinners

    Well I didn't know him personally but I can tell by your reaction what he meant to you and he sounded a good and loyal city fan and friend to you and for that I'm sorry he has gone and hope if their is an afterlife he is up their with like minded people and one day we all meet again like on here and have a good chat about city and life in general. RIP Martin.
  16. The gods of football really love Everton don't they.
  17. Have always thought if you get 24 weeks that's what you should serve, and extra if you don't behave.
  18. Will only serve 12 though unfortunately.
  19. I find myself in a match where I have no real interest, either supporting the so called underdog, the (British) team, or if that fails having a bet on one of the teams. I always assumed that's what most people did to make the match at least mean something to you while you where watching it.
  20. Hillsborough, one reason that will never happen.
  21. To be fair when I was 25 I was pretty good looking even if I say so myself, now at 66 I'm still not bad looking but would be surprised if me undressing would cause much of a reaction in anybody I never tried to say it would be me he would find irresistible. And to be clear I am supportive of him there is nothing wrong in anyway with being gay and of course it should make no difference in the grand scheme of things.
  22. And what exactly do you mean by that? that your opinion is somehow more correct because you are younger, age does not change the facts of the matter and I have no need to educate myself about anything, saying I wouldn't feel comfortable undressing in front of somebody of my own sex who I knew found other men attractive (not necessarily me by the way) to me is perfectly understandable it's your opinion I find strange, perhaps it's your age and generation that have different thoughts on the subject that doesn't make you any more right or me wrong.
  23. Because as a gay man he would find looking at other fit young men undressed sexually exiting, and that's my final word on the subject, if it doesn't bother you great me as I have said would find it a bit uncomfortable and I don't feel the need to apologise to you or anyone else for having that opinion.
  24. I knew this would get a reaction, again I will say I'm sure some of the players feel the same way but judging by the reaction my sincere question has raised it seems you can't dare say anything these days which is a shame.
  25. Because in the same way a woman would not like a man to be watching her undress or showering he has stated he is gay which means he likes men in a physical way, so that would make me a little uncomfortable. I haven't said there is anything wrong with him playing for the club or that I think there is anything wrong with being gay.
