@Merrick's Marvels has Covid 19 at the moment, Otib (actually true, this), so worth bearing in mind when reading this ....

Can't say I know about that, mate, but he was always in that Rising Sun before a game. He used to be on here quite a bit too but don't know what he's up to nowadays

I agree with @Robbored that Cotts had a clear advantage over all but perhaps Sheff Utd in L1 that season, probably a top two or three budget in the division. The thing is, unlike many or most of those that went before him here at that lower level, he made it count! He made it sing! He delivered. In spades. And unlike every other promotion season, we were right at it until the second half of the 46th game, we've never known a City team to not let up, a relentlessness, like Cotts' team in 14/15. To go away to a top 6 side and seal promotion with a 6:0 win: that was, for us, remarkable, regardless of budgetary advantage. Cotts took a top 2/3 budget and delivered 1st. Doesn't always happen here. Pity he was set on doing something similar straight away in the Championship ......

Correct. Top, top birding there Bard. Ashton is the opportunistic parasite. Ipswich are the clueless, exploited Meadow Pipits. And Lansdown was the Dodo, LJ the Great Tit.

Think both went clothes shopping together yesterday

Newcastle united, Gazza doing Lindisfarne. What's the Bristol equivalent?

Does it include him doing "Fog on the Tyne" in his shellsuit? @glynriley might be able to tell us?

@GrahamC ?

"Take yer ******* tents home Monday, you smug ****** " is all she said, before fleeing the scene. Well said, Gret

He's miles off Messi's level, a million miles. But so's every player on the planet, so no shame in that.

Courageous woman on Russian tv managed it, what are they made of at Bobbins tv?

Good at golf, mind

That's what we, Bristol City, have - and Ipswich are about to catch: not Long covid, Long Ashton.

Fantastic rant, magnificent. More entertainment in that than all of last night's Glasto coverage.

@EnclosureSurge lived in Caaaanada a while back. Up in the Land of the Midnight Moose, a place called Val d'Or. I don't remember him travelling back for a game, mind it was about a day and a half to reach something resembling what we might recognise as civilisation from there. He used to have to wait for my airmail letters to arrive with news of Ray Atteveld's latest accomplishments. Then he'd write back about seeing a moose strapped to the roof of a large truck.

Do you sport a mullet?

That's the BBC, int it?

Great. Most people are largely "meh" and indifferent about us.

I couldn't agree more. How agreeable we are.

There is if you want the laughs

Yes, Bristol City FC 2016 - 2021.

Trouble I find with all these bleedin away games is they're all so bloody far away.

But he should now be, before he's reached 30, "set up" for life, and able to holiday in the Maldives every year should he wish. Assuming he has been sensible with his money. Do we know if playing first team games is a burning desire for KP?

Depends how their summer window goes (remember summer 2015?) Depends if the promoted clubs' owners are "surprised" by the wages being asked and paid in the higher division.
