St George wasn't even English

Are they from the actual Nike factory though, or just a copied version?

So the fans want to replace LM with Andy King We talk about the owners never learning Comedy.

Okay, think what you like. Have a great evening

You haven't seen my post have you?

I've supported City in way worse times than this. This is good and stable in my world. I'm genuinely confused what everyone is crying about? Its sad if people can't afford to go now, that's really not nice. But if you simply aren't going because you don't like Manning, Tinnion etc, then... If you find yourself genuinely grappling with the expense of obtaining a season ticket, and if this is impacting your mental well-being, please feel free to send me a direct message. Perhaps we can find a solution together. I've personally experienced how City has been a source of support during tough times, providing me with a sense of camaraderie with my friends. Therefore, I'd like to extend that support to you if you're facing difficulties.

Very sad news indeed. Thoughts are with you and your family, Scott.

Shorter wait at the bar next season then, so a little bonus. Come on lads, next season is the one! COYR's

I was about to write exactly the same thing, so thanks for saving me 5 minutes. The fans wanted him out after the first season, but after being given time to implement his way of playing etc….. You know the rest.

How I heard it was, they were preparing him more physically (bulk) in the gym. Tinnion said he was training with the team didn’t he?

We play 4-4-2 whilst we block the moment anyway.

Right, I've just listened to this interview. So, lots of U18's training with the first team. Some not playing in the U21's because they want to keep the squad together. Reason some of them haven't travelled as bench fillers is due to timescales of games at the fatigue of the travelling to sit on the bench. Some are also stepping up to the U21's because a lot of them are out on loan gaining higher level experience. BT - "No problem with them being on the bench if they prove themselves". It sounds very much to me that they think the best of the U21's are out on loan, the rest aren't going to make it, so they want to keep the better batch together in the U18's to get ready for the U21's. Then there is a really good batch of U16's coming up. I really don't see what the issue is here? We've got a chance of getting into a MAJOR youth final, so why wouldn't you focus on it? Class of 92' for example, they all stayed together. David Beckham for example only made 9 U21's appearances. Other than that, it was at U18 level until he went out on loan to Preston when he was 19. So an argument could be made that these kids are being pushed and given more opportunities than most at this age. Look at recent history of winners! Do you not think it would be good for the academy to have this as an attraction piece? We moan enough (funny that) about not being able to attract the top young talent, then also moan when we're trying to give us the selling points in doing so. Some pretty decent teams there, eh. But lets not focus on what an achievement it would be, but of course, lets hammer the club for not putting these kids on the bench with the first team even though they aren't even ready. They're training with the first team, and that's all that matters in terms of reaching those levels. We all know if we put a 17 year old on and he has a stinker, we'd all be saying "whats he doing, he clearly isn't ready, his confidence will be shoot now". Moaning for moaning's sake for me I'm afraid. As for the rest of it, well, you can't sack Pearson with an injured squad and then blame injuries for the new coach not succeeding. That's insane. McKenna stats is madness. If you're going to come out with a stat like that, you have to get it right . Comparing us to Coventry is a joke too. Not sure if that was a slight shot at the owners for not spending, but maybe not. Agree that the signing of Dickie for £600k was a steal. Jason Knight, Hayden Roberts (free), Ross McCrorie signing. Not mentioned, but Max Bird, Josh Stokes and Adam Murphy (best young player in Ireland; BT's quote). Cornick was a bit of a stinker though wasn't he. So, apart from the Coventry and McKenna gaff which was strange, I don't see much wrong with the interview. He's clearly passionate about Bristol City, and MA was hated because of his corporate language. The club literally can't win, can it.

The funny thing is, is that nobody would have been any the wiser if Brian hadn’t have gone on the radio this evening about the Youth Cup! Now everyone’s an expert on the under 18s and it’s tarnished the whole thing with the supporters by the sounds of it. I know we are enjoying hitting the club at the moment, but who would honestly make that difference in the first team from the under 18s? Literally nobody was up in arms like this before last night that we weren’t playing 17 and 18 year olds or having them sit on the bench for the “experience”. Just playing devils advocate here more than anything, but as the under 18s have progressed through the tournament, don’t you think it makes sense to give them that experience as a group / teams mates moving forward keeping them all together and build that bond. Surely that only helps us? So you can’t just take negatives from it when you look at a bigger picture and the future. I don’t think this would even be an issue if the results had been slightly different. Some of the 18s are and have been involved in the first team training. So are we just upset because some aren’t on the bench? If so, which ones from the 18s would you have had, because I haven’t heard any calls for them (maybe Yeboah) until now. Again, just playing devils advocate here before abuse starts.

Right, that’s enough internet for me today. Night everyone….

Good, I'm glad you're okay. I agree, we were awful first half. I've not seen a half like that since 1998 and the 1:6 to Wolves (pigs fighting at half-time). Yes, I did. haha, and you're right, the pitch was a bit challenging at time haha

Are you okay? You seem a bit angry. Maybe we can have a chat about my bile in the morning when you’ve had a sleep and calmed down. Look, it’s just football, everything’s going to be okay. Also, you don’t need to put my name in quotation marks. It’s actually my name.

Well observed. Sticky gold star heading its way to young OXO cube. I don’t think you really understood ironic twist though, so C+. Anyway, are you okay? Did you enjoy the game? Good 3 points wasn’t it. Let’s have a chat about football instead of little passive aggressive digs and cute little emoji wars behind our little fake names and avatars, its becoming a little tiring. (little emoji for you there, as I can see you like to also send visual guides to illustrate your words). ‘Tim’

And that’s the issue with most people on here, it’s almost as if it’s not about Bristol City anymore, it’s about being right and wrong. The drama of the “I told you so”. Frankly, I couldn’t give two hoots about being right or wrong. Honestly couldn’t care less.

You should congratulate me for maturing

I’m guessing we will see.

Point proven. Have a great evening xxx

Is this what the forum has come too? What’s the point in mods if this is the way we are talk to each other. We won ffs. WE WON to almost guarantee safety. We should be buzzing. I get the Manning outers are the most vocal ones on here, and maybe for a reason us who want to stick with Manning can’t see, but let’s not get to this point.
