Bristol Oil Services

He made a run into the box, have another 20 caps. The French lad did the rest. Me and you could (still, just about) do what Mount did there. When Mount had the ball 25 yards out and needed to hit it, with everything right, his momentum, his central position etc he hit it like a bobbins Championship or L1 player. Mount is Southgate on the pitch. No opponent worries about facing Mason bloody Mount. Not having a pop at you, Fevs, just singling Mount out for some flak!

It's all arranged. At the final, Messi, Modric and a tearful, but wise, Ronaldo, will enter the stadium on camels, bearing gifts of gold, frankincense and Budweiser, following a bright, Iranian drone light way up in the desert sky, France will triumph and the Three Old Gits will crown Mbappe King of Football, as they are showered by a ticer tape shower of a billion dirty dollar bills. Putin will then have every non-Russian boy in the world slaughtered so they have half a chance of qualifying, and 3,000 Gas will be locked out of the final, with Gianni Infantino telling them to **** off back to League One.

But if the ref himself gives the foul on Saka, or the clear foul on Kane, from behind, in the box, it's a different game. England were done by the ref, not by var

Exactly as it should be. Enjoy

Got yer tree up yet?

Dark n Long from itv, nice

Nor brought Bobby Charlton off, in Guadalajara

Good player, never a penalty taker. For me.

Nah, Englund fer me, mate

Did we get a pen in that game? Oh, silly question. ...

Alan Shearer said after full time "the referee's making it difficult for the players,"

Of course. Ok, right. Flog 'em over the 12 days of mindless consumerism, then let them fly off to Dubai/Shanghai/Australasia for three weeks of their precious rest/lucrative friendlies.

If they must, but would be loathe to lose the Christmas programme, a big part of our football, and sporting, culture. Let them rest in early December, so we can then have them playing five games in nine days (or whatever it is) over the holiday season. It's all up in the air and up for grabs now though, now that the club season has been interrupted by a World Cup.

Strictly?

All look the same, these .....

Koreans at Goodison Park?

He's put me off, I don't fancy going all that if it's going to be cold (brrrr-rrr)

.... and some Dutch style pass n movery

Gawd bless 'er Madge

How did we get on?

Pretty sure Beryl was on 2 from '84?

.... possibly. Might also show something about Cov and how strapped they were and their recruitment at the top and what "ponds" they were fishing in, and it might also show that it was Bobby Gould that signed him.

If I was a billionaire, with billions of quids, giving that Rishi Sunak and his tax gathering chancellor the slip on a little island somewhere between here and all them continentals, what I would do is pay homage not to our greatest goalscorers, not to meself, but to the true heroes of Bristol City FC: The people that were going on home and away in 1979/80. And then kept going, home and away, in: 1980/81. And 1981/82. And 1982/83. And then the first bleedin game in 83/4 too. In other words, the good people of Coach Number One, Beryl Fudge's Red n White Army of weirdoes, oddballs and City fanatics. They're the ones who should be immortalised, they're the ones who should be carved in stone. What I would do if I was a billionaire, with billions of quids, and no tax to pay, and I bought the City off Stevie Lansdown, I would build another stand, just a bit bigger than even Stevie Lansdown's stand, that he called after himself, but I wouldn't call it the "Bristol Oil Services Stand," no, I would call it: "The City Away Travel Service Coach Number One 1980 - 1983 Stand" and in the concourse I'd have an old 1980s Peter Carol coach (maybe the one trashed by Millwall at Earls Court in 1984; there'd be room, cos my stand'd be bigger than even Stevie L's stand which is bInger than Harry's) and the names of all that lot that kept going through that pile of shite/three relegations writ large for all to see. And maybe nip up Frankley Services and pinch the sign and stick that up somewhere (maybe with a mock up of that @GrahamC sat on the remains of the coach reading a copy of the pink Birmingham Sports August perusing all the results with us rock bottom of the pile, whilst berating Lester Shapter for denying us a penaly (plus ca change, and all that) and shredding David Williams' stylish Gas sat 5th in Div 3, whilst the music to "Sports Report" 5 o' clock scores blares and James Alexander Gordon down-tones, over and over, "Bristol City nil"). That's what I'd do.

44/46? In 82/3? Not bad, I must say. So, you managed to miss Northampton away (1:7), what was the other one?

Because, perhaps: 1. There were only two seasons of Div 4, and 2. One of those two seasons ended in promotion, and possibly also 3. You was young back then. If I may be so bald ....
