Don't click on the link, and take my word for it that if you - as a fan - turn up wearing anything other than our home shirt, you'll be jailed. Forever.

absolutely hilarious mate

I think the obvious answer is that deep down I decided that bcfc is my 'tribe'. Humans are programmed to form groups. It's our equivalent of a shoal of fish. It gives us a better chance to survive and is deeply engrained over many thousands of years into our DNA. 

I'm just unlucky that I was born in Southville and my family were city fans. I never had a chance. 

I think thats bang on.

For me it has similarities of why people play the lottery, most of the time you'll be left feeling shite, but that one in a hundred game, where the fan next to you suddenly becomes your best mate, and a place starts rocking. That's why we do it, we're scared to miss out on that magic feeling, because when it comes down to it that feeling is something that can't be bought.

But with Chris Martin up top I don't see that feeling coming anytime soon

Interesting poll this Nacho thanks. Great to see the overwhelming support NP has from the fanbase (so far from limited responses), that we are all pretty much agreed on what our transfer priorities should be and that by the sounds of it they chime with what NP is trying to do too.

Could be a really interesting summer this.

Wonder if you still think this?

Contrast, question 7 is interesting

Thank you, a poster with some sense. A 23 year old player with an irregular season being the only Championship one under his belt. Become a scapegoat unfairly, got quality, one to keep hold of.

Oh piss off fella. The most reactionary fanbase you'll find, that goal didn't go i, this post doesn't exist. Stupid post

Atkinson not starting is a joke, our best of admittedly a shit group of players in recent weeks for me

I wonder if he was offered a 1 year deal to manage us what he would say...

likely **** off.

"When I pass away, I don't want clapping or a minute's silence, I want a minute's booing at Bristol City."

Pring over Dasilva for me. Dasilva is so overated.

Tidy player, one Nige will likely push away if given more time, probably in favour of some washed up 33 year old. I don't think Dasilva is great, but a shite as we look we can't be picky with a player of his past-performances and obvious talents.

I'd prefer to sack about 12 players than the manager...

But isn't you saying that partly down to Nige, an amazing manager makes players asumed useless into golddust, Conte with Moses

Bets on Pearson saying some shite like; "this isn't the standard I expect, we were very poor tonight things need to change", then do **** all as a response.

Tough one for me. He’s never really been given much of a chance, but similarly he’s a bit of a luxury player. Teams playing badly can’t afford luxury players. 

Are you joking?

Undoubted ability, but had his chances, time for some new blood.

How do you improve composure….and explain / convey that to the relevant audience….in a 2/3 minute media interview.

This is for the domain on the “classroom” with video, whiteboard, etc.

Yeah my bad for the terrible example. Me and my mate were discussing pre match about his though, what I feel is Nige never seems to take any sense of ownership in interviews, the common cliche used (which I'm very glad is not reciprocated by Pearson) of '' back to the drawing board'' seems to be alien to his media handling style. That's good for multiple reasons but at times I just wonder where the sense of maybe I'll do something about this problem type attitudes in press conferences means he takes accountability or tries to insight change, I doubt that's the case though, I think the most likely answer is he doesn't like to reveal too much off the pitch insight in the media. Again sorry for the poor example

Not a great watch, but shows us the quality of particularly Kalas, and mentons to Atkinson, James and Tanner, of how competitive we are in the air. Impressive stuff.

A common theme i'm noticing in Nige is he is incredibly honest in pointing out where we go wrong and critical where necessary, however I never get the sense he has a plan to combat what he sees.

Instead of: "we didn't play well we weren't composed"

I'd love it to be: "This performance was not the standard we strive for at City, we'll be working heavily on improving composure"

Absolute head and shoulders ahead of Simpson. Great performance today - turning into a bit of a fan favourite.

Brilliant read and I echo nearly everything you've said, with resigning weiman being the only exception. Getting a quality dof is the biggest priority for us at the moment. I'd hope we look in scandanavia and mimick Brentford's recruitment.

Was it last away game he scored the winner ?

And, Scott scored last game, is he now entitled to starts because of that. As a striker scoring one big goal should be a regularity, and when he's performing so below par in other areas it's baffling you think he's justifying starting. Britton scored against Brentford, if score and stay in is your logic why not play him?

Gives us about 4x the amount of Martin in terms of movement and twice as clinical, if he could start next to someone who could hold the ball up properly we'd be laughing.

Dennis Wise’s son playing for Watford.  Pochetino’s son on the bench.

Dennis Bergkamps' son playing?

It's the physical lad of the 2 up top we need replacements for, i'm perfectly content with Andi but Martin is dogshit. Britton to potentially give it a go, as Conway is more the Weiman type, while I think (in the u23s games I've watched) Bell could do with a loan and isn't Champ standard just yet.

Nige type of player .His versatility is going to be a huge asset in years to come. Very impressive lad.

Languid style of play, not lazy. Similar to that of Eze at Palace. Sloppy, yes, but arrogant and lazy, calm down. Very poor tonight, but stop being so quick to write him off.
