...if we send you a SAE you will endeavour to try?

Yeah, be brave Steve. And remember to pull your finger out yer "ass." Do we know if he's done this, yet?

I think it's 23 mate, although you'd best check that with @Davefevs (he's always counting these things)

Yes, we are dull. But then, at this level, when are we not pretty drab? We remember AD and 76 to 80 fondly but no football fan anywhere beyond Bristol does (like neutrals might remember say Bobby Robson's Ipswich, or West Brom in the late 70s, for example). Credit to LJ, we were lively and enjoyable, at this level, for about 4 months (and the odd game either side of the 17/18 season). 90/91 was good, too. If it's entertainment we want at AG and enjoyable, attacking football, then we'll have to drop back down to L1 (but it's not guaranteed at that level either, mind).

What was the sticker, mate? "Support Bristol City now. Or **** off" ? That was a good 'un, back in the day. Or was it one of they Darryl Clark stickers?

No shame in trying, but one play-off place attained in 13 attempts and not one season at the top after two decades is embarrassing. Considering the heap of money thrown at it. And the public statements of some of his trusted lieutenants "we call ourselves a Premier League club in waiting," "other clubs are looking over the wall at what we are doing," and so on. Indeed, when Mark Ashton's time here is considered, it's humiliated not embarrassed.

What about SO'D, though? Who do we see there? Not Nige, cos I'd imagine he's "up for the fight," probably gagging for a scrap.

No, and the (inevitable) Relegation Will Not Be Televised (beyond brief highlights on Quest), fingers crossed.

Yes, we could be relegated next season, not this. One Step Beyond!

Harry Maguire. Dwight Gayle. Jessie Lingard. Eddie Nketiah. The lad that come here, smacked/was smacked by Mark Little (allegedly), then buggered off. To the PL. Him, or Matty Taylor.

Me too, mate. Looking forward to going to Highfield Road Saturday, though.

Is smacking Roy Keane one in the face "bullying" though?

Are we paying too much to watch this crudstuff?

Climatologists?

Was always impressed and surprised with Tony Blair, keeping it up with Kevin Keegan. Can't see Michael Foot/Ed Milliebland/Jezza Coyrbn managing more than one ....

Reckon he's out tonight, getting scrumped up

One or two relegation spots wide open, still

"A lot of pointless running around" - working title for Richard Latham's forthcoming '350 Years of Bristol City' mighty tome. Available in any book shops left standing

Will have upset Stoke quite a lot though, so not all bad ?

Cheers to you. Cheers

You can keep yer spelling; it's all punctuation, fer me

Just waiting for England / Jos to seal this win, and I'll put the kettle on

Excellent, and essential, punctuation, sir. If I may be so bald ....

Generally speaking, or anywhere specific?

Because most clubs were in the north, Midlands, London, in clusters of clubs, and had less need to?
