Not sure you can ignore another big aspect of manager influence and selection.... bringing youth through. Bloody hell he gets an A+ from me on that one. Probably the most exciting aspect of this season....

I would need to suspend my subscription in a leap year

Some great days. Highlight for me was pulling into Port Vale Central where we were met by a welcoming party of proper nawty boys, covered in scars and lesions and brandishing half a scaffolding company's stock. They turned to one of our lot and demanded to know the time - he hadn't got past "quarter to..." when the accent giveaway saw him dropkicked down the platform, given a good shoeing before homeless dogs set about his twitching corpse. One of our top boys announced he wasn't having that, grabbed the nearest Vale lad and tore his arm clean out of its socket. He then waded into a bunch of skins knocking several senseless with a battering from the bleeding appendage. It was all going crazy, bottles, bricks and IED's flying everywhere. The casualty list would have got even more serious if it hadn't been for the arrival of a ticket inspector. We had to put our heads down and make our way back onto the chuffer before we were found out for having invalid tickets. A great day only marred by someone being in the seat I had reserved. Fuming.

I learnt never to criticise the chef until the food was served. Otherwise, it's special Source for you....

System needs simplifying. Buy a season ticket, then, on a designated day, join with all other ST buyers for a "Le Mans" style sprint start to grab a seat of your choosing. You have 5 mins to grab a seat, occupy said seat and resist eviction from someone else who may want it. Hooter goes after 5 minutes, dead and injured are removed, and the resulting seat occupiers have that seat for the season. Come on City, get it sorted.

And no English players...

True fact....Of the 31 professional football leagues across Europe, the team with the lowest number of penalties awarded since 2018 is..... Bristol City.

To celebrate a 2-0 England win?

The coaching staff at Southampton weren't short of touches in the 80's

To be fair to Massengo, he declined to give the little spermer his shirt, but instead signed his top. Hopefully it was his best jumper and his old man gave him a clip for getting perm marker all over it.

I would let them use my towels. Bloody ball would be welded to their hands. Foul throw.

There is no way we should risk losing Williams to injury, much more sensible not to pick him at all. Hang on....

What we really need is someone who can take a good re-start.

I have put a lot of thought into this and concluded we are just $$$t

Is this the opportunity to have a pop at the ingrained reluctance of our ball boys to retrieve the ball for us? 0-1 down 85th minute, ball goes out, ball boy tied to his seat like a Tory minister in a sex dungeon. Boils my $$$$....

That lad in blue won't be working in any ladyboy bars any time soon with that black eye

I an pretty confident he is between 6'3" and 6'7", but the latter is in high heels.

I cant keep up with all these moving prices. It's the same with the petrol prices.... not that it affects me, I always just buy £20 worth.

Burnley are the biggest supported club in the land per head of population. Preston are big if you factor in trophies. And Bolton used to have a massive supermarket at every home game. Does that count?

Wow. We have four players with double barreled names. Four! How posh are we? One even has a hyphen!

"Segregation" - still demanded in football but yet nowhere else... its even becoming illegal to segregate toilets now

OK so I humbly apologise for suggesting Ukrainian colours would be a nice sign of support. By the same logic, someone is going to say that making a donation to Ukrainian charities is also reprehensible as both ineffectual and just for show. Maybe volunteering for the Ukrainian army?

Just imagine the fantastic PR for the club if we played in the Ukranian kit on Saturday...

Presumably because the game was only available on the red button.

Just hoping to break the monotony of the 3 promoted clubs get relegated, while the 3 relegated clubs get promoted. Signs are ominous it could be the same 6 clubs this season as last..
