Sir Colby-Tit

Thank **** Gillingham went out yesterday!

Yeah, let's get rid our young starlet, who's showing signs of developing into a top class striker, with potentially the highest ceiling in the current squad.

There was VAR today though, just wasn’t needed to intervene

I can't believe it wasn't used for Conway's marginal offside disallowed goal.

I remember getting one for Christmas but it would rarely last into the new year.

Stupidly we’d play with it in our road, everyone had thorny privet hedges and it wouldn’t be long before it burst. I do remember the hot knife trick but can’t remember how successful it was.

Ahh, hot knives, that takes me back!

Had the week off work and never really visited Southampton much so got here yesterday and staying until tomorrow. My review so far is that Southampton is “okay”. The Tudor House museum is quite nice and I had a decent curry last night. Some good walls too. Probably wouldn’t want to stay here longer than two days.

I moved down to the New Forest in February this year, and my overriding impression of Southampton is Swindon on a larger scale, with some boats.

Not a patch on the beautiful city of Bristol.

Of course it would be absurd to ‘judge’ Manning after two games (although a performance as crap as QPR will no doubt see some irrational ‘judgements’ this evening), however, and this is no fault of the man himself, no City manager I can ever remember deserves less time or patience before being ‘judged’.

I expect to see the results of his ‘on the grass’ coaching quickly on the style of play and I have been told by our Chairman that we were underperforming under Nigel Pearson, so the expectation is that we challenge for the playoffs under this manager.

Usually managers take over this club because the results are dreadful, relegation is a concern, the team barely have a shot let alone a win, the squad is unmotivated, the crowd has turned, there has been a breakdown between manager and players, the manager has simply lost the plot.. Not all of these may apply, but some of them will do and we all know the atmosphere around the club when a manager leaves. None of this was the case with Nigel Pearson. None of those sorts of messes need cleaning up. Because Nige (in time) cleaned them all up from what he was left with.

It is as good a situation to take over this club that I can ever remember. The squad is small without any deadwood expensive, useless players needing to be removed, the players are fit, spirited and motivated, and the team is in touching reach of the playoffs. Therefore there are none of the excuses that usually apply to new managers, none of the time required to sort out the mess of the previous bloke. So therefore there is far less patience or time.
 

If sacking Nigel Pearson and appointing Liam Manning was the correct thing to do, the evidence should be with us quickly, not necessarily today or this week, but much sooner than usual for any judgement on a new manager.

Yet despite being so deeply unhappy you continue to spend your time on a bcfc forum. 

OK, so I'm a bit of a conspiracy theorist, but is it merely a coincidence that "Cristored" is an anagram of "directors"?

Sir Colby Tit is an anagram of "Byt Clitoris", care to comment?

She likes it!

It might possibly be an anagram of something else as well.

I would argue that there were serious doubts about Pearson at this level, due to the big time frame between coming here and his success….look at Hughes at Bradford sacked in L2 despite being a former prem regular manager.

Cristored is an anagram of "directors", so which one are you Jon?

Oh dear, Robins TV showing Nigel Pearson as manager on the team line up graphic

Stream up and running 

Sorry to disappoint, but it's next year's has been performer summer concert at AG being finalised.

He's even bringing the Lansdowns a new strapline to reflect their efforts in running a football club.

The main thing I got from that interview is that Jon likes to say "in that sense". A lot.

Could do with a bit of that motivational approach in the changing room.

Don’t think Pearson was the best man imo I think he flattered to deceive on the pitch and we didn’t threaten enough at home. A lot of people are very pro Pearson on her and I understand that I just think he was a tad overrated on the pitch. 

Kimpton bullshit all day long

Doo-dah! Doo-dah!

Bristol Sport is where you belong

Oh, doo-dah day!
