Your really hurtin' poppet x Top of the performance league too, is that dog shit too?

And another 'lest we forget'

Yea let's all remember shall we?

Good end to the season, so glad I stuck to my guns with Manning in not calling for his head. OK it's Rotherham but you can only beat etc.....We have parity now with 17 wins 17 defeats and a plus goals, springboard for next season, well done all.

Who?

I always had the impression he was like dealing with a Volcano that could erupt at any moment. Things are more relaxed and convivial now whilst still having that drive. 'Trying' to get behind Manning sums my thoughts up, should be not be just 'trying' really, he has proved his worth, get behind the City

You can, good for you.

But I honestly thought that was your job, what are you saying.... he has his own statman?

Entirely.

Irony

Isn't it? A Bristol trait, I think it very much is Dave, maybe we don't have the right stuff in our DNA to be a Prem team too affluent some say, or a Rugby City that is not the working man's life style that fashioned Manchester Leeds Glasgow etc, we did have a bit of that in the past, but matchday is like a family day out with the kids now, no passion, craft beers and fine dining. Of course we can critique, but you are a decent likeable bloke and I am sure all this childish name calling must grind your gears. You see it sets the whole tone on OTIB and if you are not on that bandwagon you must be a happy clapper or worse, and in my case much worse.

I don't have any mates, I live in a small village in the Cotswolds. TD?

No, I see it as a whole really. I respect all the club players ,staff, management, and owners, and I can see no reason why any one of those at this time deserve condemnation. It's the only way forward, if you want to go in that direction, otherwise get off the bus.

It might improve your grammar.

I don't really have the time or the inclination really to micro examine everything backstage that goes on at the club, the club politics are for others to inspect, my motivation as it has been for many decades is the team on a Saturday or whenever to win hopefully and if we don't perhaps the Rovers will as the old Bristol saying went. I don't really care who the manager is or was, be it Fred Ford Alan Dicks, or the current MANning, I am blindly crazy still about this club, life would have been a lot easier if Dad and his Dad never took me to the Gate, but hey that's me. Like I said a bit of crazy unwarranted (perhaps) support for the club might be the missing piece in the puzzle but that is not a realistic Bristol trait really.
