It’s not snide though is it? Until we change it Bristol City is the absolute epitome of a typical, bang average Championship club. What is snide about pointing that out?

And a bloody long way from Hull too !

Thanks for not being too gloomy as I hate to think what a really gloomy Baldyman would have had to say :laugh:.

Call me Ee-or

Without wishing to be too gloomy I think next seasons top 3 are all but decided already with Southampton , Leeds, Everton , Forest or West Ham coming down . Certainly feels like the strongest 3 relegated sides for years and add in the millions they’ll each be given to “ cover the losses of relegation/ spend on £10m players “ , Cardiff, BCFC etc improving will sadly be pretty irrelevant

Had a season ticket with my eldest lad for almost 15 years but he’s now settled down with his girlfriend and living elsewhere in the Uk . Miss the regularity but going on your own isn’t much fun . Pick my games and try different areas of the stadium these days but that’s life . 

Had to laugh at Gary Neville commentating against Liverpool . After 20 mins he said that”  Spurs players would have to set up a direct debit to the fans at this rate “

Final day fixture is Huddersfield Vs Reading . Now that really could be squeaky bum time !!! Rotherham are away to Wigan so could quite easily Nick the points there and Huddersfield’s game in hand is against Sheff Utd . Could be a hell of a day at the bottom of the champ on Monday week !! 

On the subject of the scoreboard , was this really put up on the screen today ? For those young enough not to know , Michael Stone was a Loyalist Paramilitary during the troubles in Ireland who took a bag of grenades and a machine gun to a Republican funeral in Milltown in 1988 !! 

Spurs are “ considering the future of their Acting manager Cristian Stellini “ . Could there be anything more embarrassing for a Manager than to be sacked whilst you’re just filling in as the club look for a permanent new boss ?

Well he's hardly going to talk through his tactical plan before a game is he 

Yes but why be a rude **** ? He just has to say “ they were made for tactical reasons based on the game we’re expecting today “ .  

Well Nige is in a great motivational mood today ! Radio Bris : “ so Nigel , talk me through why those 3 changes have been made “. NP : “Because I felt like making them “.  Done so much good this season but I can’t stand this side of him .

I'm not sure what Inference the op is trying to make but I suspect Rowett picks the best 11 players to win each match regardless of heritage 

Please don’t misunderstand, I’m not inferring anything . I’m just asking the question as it was so noticeable compared  to just about every other team playing the game , especially amongst the London clubs .  Pure curiosity on my part as to the reasons behind it . 

Been watching a lot of Tv footy of late whilst recovering from a broken ankle and was surprised to see Millwall’s starting 11 for the last 2 games with them still in with a shout of the Prem next season . In both games I saw , they started & finished without a single black or Asian player on the pitch . All other London clubs had between 5 & 9 players who were Black or Asian on the pitch over their last 2 games .The area in and around Millwall is 61 % Black or Asian . So what’s the issue here ? It surely couldn’t be the club themselves instigating this so is it that Black and Asian players just give that club the biggest swerve possible . If so , how on Earth could they survive in the Prem with pitiful gates and a massive  pool of talent visibly steering well clear , presumably for reasons engrained over many decades ? 

Let’s face it . Scott is now 3 games away from becoming a multi millionaire and a Premier league player . He’s just come back from an injury and the club have put him up for auction to an extent never seen at Ashtongate before . Would you throw yourself into every tackle and jeopardise all that if it was you ? Not a chance and it’s churlish of NP to expect it . As for Conway , he’s Alex’ best mate and perhaps a little bit of it has rubbed off so he’s more deserving of a b@@@@@@@@g ! 

‘

“ Yep , today Matthew ‘I’m going to be Sheffield Utd ! “ 

We kept going against a team that played a 9-0-1 formation and picked them off eventually. They even tried to defend a 1 goal deficit for 1/2 hour and in recent seasons we’d have gone home miserable !!

Harry was born in 1995 in Poole and at the same time Steve Jones was playing for Bournemouth…

It’s a Gaylord Focker/Jorge moment for sure

Genuinely feel sorry for Lee Mason . He never signed up for the s@@t show that’s VAR 2023 when he started 15 years ago . I don’t necessarily see it that he’s been sacked either . He’s probably just thought “ bugger this for a game of soldiers “ enough’s enough ! 

The Only restricted view is the one of both penalty boxes when you’re stood anywhere on the pitch itself wearing black !!!! 

They really don’t look non-league ! And after attending all of those games vs Wrexham and Dixie McNeil back in the 70’s , I really wouldn’t want them away from home in round 5

I don’t think even Jailbird Joey is that stupid! That said, it would be brilliant if he did!

So of the 3 local football bosses , two have spent time inside for assault and the other is ours but let’s be honest he’s mad as a bag of monkeys

What a load of shite ! We’ll be getting additional points for cheering our  opponents when they put one in the bottom corner next ! Football has been around for 130+ years with only a handful of changes but in the last five years all FIFA etc have done is tinker with this and change that . Leave the f@@k alone ! There’s bugger all wrong with it ! 

I know we’ve had a bit of fun over the years with this thread but “The Gap” is getting narrower by the second now and I for one am getting just a tad concerned . They are now just 13 league positions below us in the proverbial pyramid ! If we played them next week I would not be confident of a win and they are closer to our league position now than we are to Milwall !!! We may take the pish out of their crowds and stadium but they could end up in the Championship next season , horrifyingly at our expense !!!!! 

Can’t get it on Sky Football . Red button is just “recap” for the QPR game !

I know this guy talks shite 95% of the time but this just popped up on FB !
