    Radio Bristol's Ali Vowles to leave "in the Autumn of 2023" statement that ali read out at 08:30am saturday 15 July 2023

    Shame. I used to work at the BBC some years ago and always found her to be one of the nicest people there.

    Geoff also a nice guy, always had time for a quick chat about City in passing. He told me we were signing Brian Wilson a couple days before it was announced. My only ITK moment!

  2. They obviously have no idea what's been happening at the club the last 5 or 6 years.

    NP has spent the last 18 months tearing down an overpriced, not fit for purpose football club and laying some solid foundations.

    He could leave tomorrow and he's still done a good job.

  3. The thought of him going to Bournemouth is of course a little uninspiring but if they stump up the cash where other clubs haven't, then fair play to them. They'll have made a fantastic signing and a sound investment ahead of bigger clubs.

    If he wants to play Prem football most weeks, it's a good move. Given his very young age, a year or two there would do his career no harm and would be a a decent stepping stone for his next move.

    Mind you, I wouldn`t want to be identified as a neighbour who objects given what their dribbling morons are likely to do if they find out who you are.

    Remember when the most deluded one of all of them, Henbury Sag suggested they take a crap in the freezers at Sainsbury`s for revenge for the UWE falling through?

    I wouldn’t rule out anything at this point with the current incumbents  through the club.

    They are a pox on many things.

    So, it looks like they used to own the houses that are affected but presumably sold them off at some time in the past - probably to finance one of their many promotion pushes.

    Bet they wish they hadn`t now.

    Yep, you can only sell them once.

    Flogged the family silver there and for what?

    I'd laugh out loud if the new owners objections put a stop to their new shed.

    I drive around a lot for work, and this means I also listen to a lot of podcasts. Anyone got any good recommendations? I keep running out of new episodes!

    My Favourites would be...

    A History Of Rock Music in 500 Songs by Andrew Hickey - Miles and away the best thing in podcast world in my opinion. If you have any interest in rock music at all this is an absolute tour de force. He's up to episode 166 so far I think, you tend to get a new one every 2-3 weeks.

    The Constant - A History of Getting Things Wrong - It's a history podcast of sorts, but fairly irreverent and very well presented

    Cautionary Tales - Another history podcast of sorts, but once again very well presented and generally has a lesson to teach relevant to things happening today

    Others on my current subscription list are The Rest Is Politics, The Rest Is History, The Bugle, The Trawl, No Such Thing As A Fish, Non Censored, We Can Be Weirdos, Skeptoid, Historical Blindness, Tony Robinson's Cunningcast and History Of English Podcast

    Some are political so won't be for everyone.

    What I try quite often but tend to get bored with very quickly are comedians having special guests in (usually other comedians) and having a 'chat'.

    I do like Cautionary Tales, very good.

    I can recommend Futility Closet if you like your historical trivia. They've stopped making them now and the first 20 or so are a bit rough on the production front but there are over 300 Eps so good to work backwards through them.

    Learnt a lot of random stuff from that pod.

    I think he's a Grealish+ 

    His style is very similar however he has defensive attributes that Grealish doesn't have. 

    Scott could play as a winger but I think his attributes would possibly be wasted there.

    I see him more like (not the same) Gerrard and Bellingham than I do Grealish.

    I think this goes some way to showing what an exciting talent he is. It's hard to put a "the next..." type label on him. Moves like Grealish on the ball, combatative and intelligent in midfield like a Gerrard or Bellingham but hard to make direct comparions to other players out there. Versatile but not a classic utility type either.

    He's fairly unique as a young up and coming English player. Worth every penny for whoever coughs up the cash IMO.
