I saw Ben White being interviewed on SKY t'other night.

Looked like he's been to the same gnasher shop as Scott Twine;

Looks like he's Ben White-ening them a bit tooth much

Got a 2 month old who has been bawling their eyes out for the last couple of hours. Decided to put this on, turned the volume up and hey presto - asleep in less than a minute. 

Who?

Looks to be a decent striker in France with 13 goals in 28 games for Angers this season. Chap called Lois Diony, might be worth a look?

For me, the most disappointing comment from BT is that Liam is still learning.

How are we in the position where we’ve got a Head Coach, a Technical Director and a Chairman all learning on the job? 

Well Mr Brent if you were to ask me to name three geniuses, I probably wouldn't say Einstein, Newton... you know...

I'd go Lansdown, Tinnion, Manning... Sessions.

Not the slightest bit interested in watching/listening. Boring and predictable like the football.

I see they’ve installed the portaloo’s in the cow shed then, championship ready I heard

Looks like they misspelled Bulls. Heifers next door

"Consistently inconsistent"

"A side that at times appear to be making progress and then somehow seem to shoot themselves in the foot and end up taking two steps backwards"

"Constantly struggling to find their own identity"

"A decent Championship outfit but ultimately lacking in the star quality needed to propel them to the promised land"

out of interest do any of the current city players have genuine side hustles?

George Tenner and Cameron Ching.

Just saw the latest footage from his first day at the “HPC” and could not work out from body language if we was steely and taking it in stride, rabbit in headlights in demeanour, or trying to telepathically say “Hoggy. Wtf have we done mate?” 

Agreed. Also thought "Hoggy" was Niklas Bendtner for a minute.

"It's a really exciting opportunity for me at this stage of my career and one I feel I'm ready for"

"Everything is set up for Premier League football, it just needs the final piece of the puzzle to fall into place"

"There is some exciting young talent coming through here that I can hopefully nurture to help them reach their full potential"

"I can't wait to meet the boys and get started"

Well his meeting is due to start in a minutes time, good luck Frank!

He's probably walked in and already regretting cancelling the golf.

Some classics from Lee already in his first Fleetwood media appearance.

"If you like"
"Getting down and dirty"
"It's a big picture piece"
"On the grass"
"Think as one brain as a club"
"Ethos" of the club
"Create those pathways"
"Form the playing philosophy and the terminology"
"I'm not the guru of all things"
"Part of adding value is to delegate well"

Shame it didn't work out here Henri, but think we can all agree you were certainly Pasture best.

What's the odds we get a last minute penalty to win it?  Must be some reason why we've been saving them up.

 

 

 

Yeah ok, we can dream.

It'll be saved.

Their keeper will then parry it back into our path, the taker will round the keeper who will then trip them up and we'll get another penalty.

Which we will then score.

Who is going to be the first Prem club to make a move... that is the question.

Anyone reckon we could get a Joe Bryan situation?

Imagine Semenyo leaving the Bournemouth medical to join Palace instead…

I thought it was:

"I can't read, I can't write, that don't really matter. I'm a Bristol City fan, and I can drive my tratter"

I'm in my mid 30s now but in my teenage years I used to absolutely love going in the East End - the atmosphere was unbelievable. Indeed my first memories of going to games at Ashton Gate were just incredible feelings of awe at the partisan and raucous atmosphere inside the ground, "being all in it together" and a massive majority cheering the team on with the almost constant chanting, singing etc. Over the years since I have felt the club becoming more and more sanitised with each passing year, more geared towards families and seemingly not bothered by the waning atmosphere at games. When going to games I felt alienated and disconnected.

Covid meant I got out of the habit of going to games altogether and unbelievably I haven't been one since. I haven't felt compelled to come back either, content with supporting the team from afar and hoping that maybe one day the "edge" might return. 

Large numbers of our support saying enough is enough, culminating in the A-Block move has re-ignited a spark and passion in me that has been missing for a long time. For me hearing about the vastly improved atmosphere on Saturday prompted by the move is the signal that I needed to finally return to the Gate. Fingers crossed it continues. COYR.

Tesco shopping without Molly just hasn't been the same. Honestly may even have to change supermarkets because of it - it's that upsetting not seeing her there! A total Yate legend. Fingers crossed she comes down from heaven to make an appearance in the game

It's an interesting point raised by the OP. I haven't actually been back since Covid first struck. I got out of the habit of going unfortunately which I'm sure will be the case for others too. More recently I've started supporting my (even more local) team Yate Town - luckily living nearby so a short walk to the stadium rather than a 2 hour round trip to Ashton Gate. A tenner a ticket, can have a beer while watching, can stand wherever I like and the footy ain't bad either. Still following City from afar but in terms of going to games I'm actually preferring the match day experience and value for money provided at Yate right now.

I’m confused; is it one or two ingredients? Time or patience?

Cook isn’t going to last long, it pains Ashton to say his name.

Ding Ding Ding!

The scores are just in, I've just counted.

One of his most-loathed phrases - Mark Ashton says "this football club" a grand total of TEN times during this 9 minute interview. That's more than once a minute. Absolutely sickening. 

Mark went on further to say:

"If you were to ask me to name three geniuses, I probably wouldn't say Einstein, Newton...you know. I'd go Milligan, Cleese, Everett. Ashton."

"It's the Ying and the Yang versus the release of the attacking players, quality and flare more importantly, versus the steel..."

Sorry Lee?
