You make it sound like Anne in admin has got tendonitis and we need to find cover for a fortnight.

Really?

All I can tell you at this point is there are many things being raised and discussed under the banner of "Improving the atmosphere", some things are very easy and quick wins, but other things will need approval from the board before being raised with our fanbase

Anything and everything is on the table at this point

What’s triggered this sudden interest in atmosphere by the club? And how will supporters be able to feed in. Is it going to be an open and transparent process?

Yeah my local MP (before boundary changes next election) and she’s down the Mem a lot these days unfortunately it seems.   

He’s off.   What a shame……

Good ******* god 

How are Cov managing to do this with all these extra games they are having to play ? And they are 8th with 2 games in hand.  C’mon Cov!!

Depends on the stage of the sales tbh. I’ve got no idea when bears went on sale / priority periods end but if it’s still in week 1-2 I’d expect few emails then activity to be ramped up as it gets nearer deadline day - all that’s happened here is names on a database and automated mails. Bears activity will ramp up as it gets nearer deadline day

But, once more, that still means they know if you’ve renewed to not send you a reminder mail so not releasing figures is bizarre….

Take Bris out of it, anecdotally it feels like I’ve been contacted a lot more by City this time than previous years (I always renew towards the end as I’d just rather have my money as long as possible!) and to me that feels pretty desperate when coupled with the lack of numbers being released also.

It’s not desperate 

as they have your details and you have not renewed it’s a computer ultimatum same as any other company’s systems

 

Funny that Bears also have my details and have only mailed me once…….

More emails today.   Feels a bit desperate now.

This may sound a little harsh but I think it’s time we left the Wurzels in the 70s. We need a new anthem, kids of today aren’t going to belt this music out.

I know I will be in the minority here.

Theres room for all of it.

"At the final whistle the Emirates Stadium was already half empty ....."  so begins the guardian's reflection on Arsenal losing yesterday.

It looked way less than that even at the end.  I get it why our fanbase do it - I don't, but we have been meh for years now and I'm surprised we still get the levels of support we currently do atm so people can do what the heck they want Imo - but for Arsenal fans to do it after the run they have had surprised me a lot and if I was a player Id be seriously cheesed off (then Id go and look at my wage slip and everything would be ok again!).

I think that despite it being the close season and we don’t have much to play for as a collective, it’s good knowing we have gotten results against teas with something to play for. Blackburn, Plymouth, Leicester all have something to play for. Happy with another clean sheet too! 

Yep. This is a really good point and it’s really good to see.  Credit has to be given for that. Lots of people on here saying it doesn’t matter what we do in these games almost as an excuse, but it really does of Manning wants to begin start to win large sections of the fanbase around.  Important to not let the season slip away and tbf to them they haven’t.

We still need a couple of new attacking players (pace and power) despite the result tonight, but IF we can keep our key players fit next season then i think we can push for a top 10 finish.

Blackburn didn't turn up tonight but they are no mugs. We played well and pressed from the front. I'm really pleased for Manning

We should been pushing for top 10 this season.  Pearson or Manning.  Anything less than 10th would be a disappointment.  As said elsewhere let’s see some proper consistency. Long shot but we may well yet make it.

Wow some absolute whoppers early in this thread. Shocking people were actually calling for him to be sacked.

BS Bots out in force already.   Over time is it?

I know I have gone early on this. But what a half of football from him. Really good footballer.

Said elsewhere that I think he could be a transfer out in the making. Very very good player so hope I’m wrong but I don’t think his performances will be going unnoticed.   

Blimey did their defender even try to stop that last one?!  Absolutely woeful from Blackburn but can only play what’s in front of you.  Well done City, superb result!

Roberts looking good again tonight 

Really hope clubs don’t come looking at him, but wouldn’t surprise me.

Whether it’s the weather, end of season nothing to play for vibes or Channel 5 showing “Air Friers: Sunday Dinner Made Simple” it’s far less busy than normal down here.

Not surprised.  At least 5 of our lot not going this evening, for reasons that are genuine but wouldn’t be insurmountable if we were doing half decent and / or exciting to watch.  Pays your money etc though!

One of those rare nights when we want Cardiff to win. Away at Brum.

Personally I enjoy a Brum away day.  Would like them to stay up.
