BigAl&Toby had a dream

About our football team

Could be dreaming of birds but his head is wrong

Now 40 years on

He's been dead for too long

We're Bristol City and our drugs are too strong

Thank you

How has Harry Thickitt not been entered?!

On @View from the Dolman's point, and it's a good one if Bell is in there. Is there a complete list available?

So should we kick Micky Bell out of the hall of fame just in case we win the Champions League 10 years in a row?

I mean you have missed the point by an absolute country mile there if based on the time reference that I don't even know what point you're making.

If it's a point on Mickey Bell specifically then, yeh, I dunno if he belongs in a Hall of Fame for Bristol City. There's an argument for him probably, but let's face it we've not exactly been anything more than an average top L1/bottom Championship side on average. 

But yeh, you'd probably two or three better LBs who should be there ahead of him

There’s been a women’s team on and off since 1973

Weren't they originally Bristol Rovers? I don't keep up but heard that 

Regardless of views on women's football it's probably way too early for a club of that age to have a hall of fame. Sure they might end up being the best times the club ever had but if they go on to be the best side in the world in 20 years then those achievements pale into insignificance. Mens or women's football 

Bentley should be playing while he's here and a replacement required when he's not

I would like to applaud @Harry for calling out the racism spewed by @BigTone, shame but not surprising we still have to do this.

Good news

August 13th Wigan (a) then Luton and Cardiff home over next 7 days

October 1st QPR and Coventry home and Birmingham away in a week

February 11th Norwich and Wigan home and Sunderland away in a week

Huge disappointment especially after beating Palace and City couldn’t manage a single shot on goal…….…..…. 

We should have expected it as it was a typical Johnson performance that we’d seen all season - defensive,no flair or attacking intent dull and turgid.

We got what we deserved - nothing.

 

Do you ever not lie? Apart from the 6 shots on target and 8 off, you're right, not a single shot. 

Great decision to sack LJ after all. 

Forgetting their history with us alone, a CV of three League One clubs and no promotions is bound to get Lansdown hard. 

I wouldn't consider any set up with the Lansdown's involved as anywhere near almost Premier League tbh. 

History and the present circus shows us that. 

So even before contracts expiring at the end of the season I make it we need:

RB

CBx2

Ball winning midfielder

Creative midfielder

Winger x2

Striker

And then replace whatever we lose. What a job that is. 

Pring's usual "effort" at defending and very poor by Bentley to be beaten there. 

Pring playing with fire going to ground there

Looking forward to the 50+ page 'LJ's Cheltenham Town' thread. 

Then I wonder how many the Yeovil thread after will get to? Riveting stuff. 

Vyner is utter shite, we all know that now. Standard non defending in the box from Pring though, again. 

What the hell were we thinking offering any money for that sack of shite?

Would've been out on loan to Cheltenham within 12 months. Should be thanking his dad to this day. 

Confused by the whole "they're third" and "I hope they stay down now" shouts. 

If they stuck with LJ they were staying down and they're clinging onto third at the moment. 

7 league wins in 17 league games - that is not promotion form - Sunderland have looked at the last 17 games of LJ's career and the rest of it to correctly identify that they would remain a League One side under him. 

I wouldn't be surprised if they can find their way back into the top two should they appoint someone with knowledge on promotion. 

LJ is, as he always was, a failure again. 

They'll go up now imo. 

Be some weekends ruined for some on here after tonights news :laugh:

No doubt will still have his fans here, but he is truly an attrocious manager. 

Utter charlatan, feel bad for Sunderland but so relieved he's no longer our problem. 

Ridiculously stupid. 

We're talking about naivety at the age of 24. If he doesn't have the brains yet then perhaps we need to get used to these bonehead decisions.

Thick as shit by Pring.
