Just looking at the fixture list and can’t believe Cardiff City away on Saturday 28th October is still currently a 3:00pm kick off. Surely that will change. If it does, do we have any idea when they’ll announce the change?

For those watching, what were they singing when they went 2-0 ? 
Something about it happening again ?

Sounded like: “It’s happening again, it’s happening again, we’ve got a shit ref, it’s happening again”. Any excuse to divert from how toothless they were (and I don’t just mean their inbred fans)

Looking through the under 21’s on the website, there’s also Josey Casa-Grande (GK) and Filbert Owusu-Antwi (CF)

I can understand why a team would find the Mem off putting to play at. Not because of the fans or atmosphere but because it is not the sort of stadium they would be used to as professional footballers. A confusing mess of tents and now with a few bushes and back gardens at one end.

The radio commentators will be saying 'Rovers will play towards the patio end in this 1st half'.

We see this every season in the FA cup, a Prem side will go to a non league side with a ground like the Mem and struggle to switch on mentally and play their normal game.

that line tickled me 

The standards are now Premier League don’t forget. This you, Hot Air? 

“Goal for Bristol City scored by number twenty Jason Knight” was the only clear thing I could hear with any clarity from the Dullmoan. Bet Sam Bell was confused. 

First game of the season and a “free hit” ? Very ambitious 

“Serious money”

No doubt the nice Millwall fans will be there to meet us and show us the way to our seats 

By ripping another one out and throwing it at us no doubt

The whole “unprecedented amount of you turned up” line is really boiling my piss more than it should and I wasn’t even there. If it was a cold Wednesday in November and we were bottom of the league then yes it would be unprecedented. But a warm Wednesday Summer afternoon when the kids are on school holidays, how can you not see that one coming ffs?! As @ballwinningcentrehalf says: “if you fail to prepare, you better be prepared to fail.” Why are we such a constant cringeworthy failure off the pitch.

That first one looks terrible. 

I like the next two. Much better than than the blue training top that will lead most people to assume it’s the team from Manchester.

The last one is ok. 

I don’t have a clue about the quality of the new range of kits. I like the design of the home kit. Not keen on the yellow kit. 

The ‘splat’ robin is absolutely awful and seems senseless after so much work went into establishing the new crest. 

Talking of the first one and the last one, who actually are the players? I know the second and third ones are Seb Palmer-Houlden and Haydon Roberts.

Seems impressive but anything under 5 is a fail and comes with advice on how to increase your score. The Agency will then carry out a surprise visit to assess whether or not the original advice had been put in place.

I only know because one of our local bowls club scored only 3 and were not allowed to prepare food on the premises….On the surprise revisit they scored a 5 I’m happy to say.

 

I was told from someone who used to run a pub that you lose 2 stars straight away if you can’t provide necessary paperwork even if you have the cleanest establishment possible.

Anything interesting said

Not overly. Have a listen for yourself:

Starts at 18 minutes 50 seconds and ends at 30 minutes 45 seconds. 

They keep mentioning “returning the favour” for Matty Taylor. The two deals can’t even be compared. We bought Matty Taylor off them whereas IF they somehow drugged Chris Martin and he joined them, it would be from QPR - not us. Absolute shitshow of an article.

Popped in the Masons Arms in Stapleton earlier. They had a City sign up . As I took a photo, the Lady serving ( her son’s a Red )  asked if I knew the story. Turns out they turn the sign if one team wins and the other loses on a Saturday. So City have Pole position through the Summer.

Love that pub but then again, it is my local so I’m biased. Last Summer was horrible from a sign point of view.

Had a look to find it but all the replays of the goals I've seen it cuts off mid celebration.

I would love to see that, good old Flinty!

As would I! Any footage doing the rounds? I’ve watched the highlights but couldn't see anything  

I’m sure they can still be collected from our ground until the end of the day the day before the game ie Thursday. I hope so anyway as that’s when I plan to collect mine!

apart from the last game of the season against Queen park Rangers

The games against Stoke and the mid week game against Sheffield United will most likely be on the red button

and Watford could end up on Sky

Just a thought

Are you secretly hoping to be the only away fan in attendance?

He's actually quite a nice bloke (apart from being a rabid gas head)

Is it ET or straight to pens?

ET then pens (obviously we won’t get to take any)

On a general note, could be a red herring.

Location of the tunnel- is it no difference or would the tunnel being being behind the goal help at all. I forget when it moved to the Lansdown side.

You’re welcome

I wouldn’t know - I don’t listen when he’s on. His perpetual  pessimism wears me down. Best for me to avoid it.

No-one needed to know this nor gives a shit. Bloody attention seeker. 
 

FWIW thought it was a cracking episode and Ian was a great stand-in host. Straight to the point with his questions. A cracking debut from Thomas also.
