What the Murun Buchstansangur happened there? Couldn’t see anything but a chastening defeat today. Yes, we were lucky Vardy apparently sold his shooting boots to pay Rebekahkahkah’s legal costs, but overall that was a very fine performance.

Mehmeti finally stops fannying about with Charles “Charlie” Charles dinks and puts his ****ing laces through the thing. Pick ee out the stingers, beeatches.

On our day, we can hold our own with anyone in this division, but you don’t need me to tell you it’s our day about it as often as it is Unlucky Alf’s from Fast Show.

I’ll take that all day long (Good Friday).

PS :laugh: at Vardy after his antics in September.

PPS Wankieat chant ever: “Just like Leicester, your city is blue.” How many teams are there in Leicester? One. Just like Bristol. ️

Think Fleetwood Mac have had more band members than the number of fans the Rent Boys took to Fleetwood Town.

Better to be stood in a tent taking the piss out of it, than outside the tent pissing in, or something…

It was really depressing for me under Pulis. 

Exactly, it’s been way worse.

Benny Hill, SOD, Jordan’s second stint, and that’s without mentioning the early 80s!

Bit worrying our reliance on Dickie goals to win 1-0. Think we’d be in the bottom three without those.

Most importantly, a much-needed three points. Hopefully that dispels any realistic relegation concerns, and while some may scoff at the suggestion we were ever in serious danger of going down, nine wins in 29 outings and some thoroughly wretched performances said otherwise.

Other than the victory and completing the double over one horrible lot from the wrong side of the Bridge, nothing to write home about.

Cant blame the fans for voting with their feet today, a lot of disillusionment around the club because of the decisions taken that were supposed to boost our fortunes and clearly haven’t achieved that.

Much work to be done this summer if anything is going to improve any time soon.

Nice to see those horrible ****s get back into the  losing habit; makes our current trials and tribulations that bit more bearable.

Couldn’t even pull in 10k for a big club visit.

Can’t blame the fans for being upset about that showing - a feeble capitulation against a hated rival. Seeing those scumbags leaping about in the Atyeo is sickening. They won’t get an easier three points all season.

Steve has sucked the marrow out of this club, we are a walking shell.

Well said.

Threads about sacking Manning, a classic example of addressing the symptom not the cause.

Steve - thank you for all you’ve done to bring BCFC’s facilities into the 2020s, our fruitful academy and HPC. Off the pitch - gold stars all around.

But it’s time for you and us to part company. On-field decisions have been a chapter of disaster, and virtually everybody but you could see the choices you’ve made would backfire spectacularly.

The club is a soulless entity at the moment, and it all ties back to how you’re running the show. So please, do the right thing and concede you’ve had a good run but we are now headed in the wrong direction (and take every last one of your Yes men with you). Let somebody with footballing nous pick up the baton.

Would solve nothing.

Partly wider changes in society and football too of course.

I really enjoy parody club Streatham Rovers on Twitter. Cleverly lampoons the litany of irrelevant bollocks football clubs decide to get themselves entangled with nowadays.

I feel for Liam, I really do - he’s been chucked in the deep end with an anvil around his neck and he’s sinking fast.

However, there’s a much bigger picture to consider here. Chopping and changing managers isn’t going to make a blind bit of difference to the predicament BCFC have been in for years; our owners are fundamentally the problem because, while I’m grateful for the investments they’ve made in the club off the field, they wouldn’t know the difference between a football and a ruddy pangolin.

Jon L somehow manages to come across as cock-sure of himself and lacking in any self belief at the same time. I keep coming back to his preposterous remarks about us having a top six squad. A playoff contender doesn’t constantly meekly surrender possession to the opposition on the edge of its own penalty area. We struggle with the basics. 
 

If Manning does come acropper (and events at other clubs suggest managers get next to no time any more) I cannot believe that we, the fans, would tolerate the same people swinging the axe and making yet another terrible appointment. Tins is culpable too, but ultimately the people who run the club are the reason why we are where we are.

I’m not suggesting the Lansdowns just pull up the ladder and disappear - don’t think even they would be that grossly irresponsible - but by their own admission they were looking at viable buyers so I really hope they are working their arses off to bring that about.

Appointing another failed manager and giving him nothing to work with isn’t going to get us anywhere we want to be going. Especially when he’s merely having his strings pulled by a posse of circus clowns above him.

A thoroughly depressing state of affairs.

The burning question is…pasties.

Some will spray around accusations of “fickle” given our last three performances but I think the reason there was such a visceral reaction to today’s pile of sh1t is because it is really, really hard to credit that we could turn in such a shiteburg of a display in the Pisspoor Sea on the back of such promising showings. It makes no sense. I know we’ve played something like 12 games in six weeks but fatigue shouldn’t be an excuse for today’s disaster. It wouldn’t be a convincing excuse anyway.

Cornick flapping to give away a needless corner summed up a truly, truly abject display. City are infuriatingly inconsistent and have been for a hot minute (does that violate the inconsistency principle? Answers on a postcard to an opaque Open University physics module circa 1983…)

In sum - a right load of COBBLERS.

Cobblers 1 Crayon Gobblers 0

Alsaeed open letter to the Gash:

“The opening of the South Stand has demonstrably enhanced the match day atmosphere, serving as a mere glimpse of what is to come. Our ambitious vision is to expand the stadium's capacity to 16,000, creating a vibrant and intimidating fortress that will resonate with your unwavering support for our first team.”

Crickey. If someone had told me we’d be doing “Oles” with seven minutes to go I’d’ve backed away from them slowly never taking my eyes off of them.

Best league performance in a long, long time. Twine and others still to come back! Tanner had an absolute blinder. Dare I say we are starting to look like a football team. OTIB

East Midlands should be a category of its own really and Forest and Leicester can duke it out. And “South” is also missing (London and South Coast omits a pretty large chunk of the country) although arguably Southampton are still the biggest southern team outside London.

And what about Cumbria?

BTW, whether we admit it or not, Swindon does qualify as Westcountry.

Plymouth are the only other club in the South West of any significance.

I seldom see it mentioned but I feel a fair bit of rivalry with the Greens; they dislike both Bristol clubs a fair bit and it could be quite an Away day on Easter Monday.

Agree with @The Gasbuster re Blackburn. I’d say Preston are arguably a bigger club with a more prestigious history. Where would another BRFC be if it wasn’t for Jack Walker’s money 30 years ago? Their crowds are absolutely abysmal.

Their lack of self-awareness would be astounding if we weren’t to accustomed to it, they call us “fickle” when they literally booed their team off the pitch yesterday. What a monumental shower of roasters (Mmmm, roast pasty).

I was in a pub on the Gloucester Road yesterday with my daughter to watch the Man City match and grab a pint and some food. A couple of screens were showing the West Brom game however and when Weimann came off practically the whole pub erupted with a very loud ‘Sheed head’. My daughter asked me what their weird noise said and when I told her later on she was like ‘what the -  how sad are they’. She thought they were even sadder once I told her about Martin, Hunt and Jamie Mac  

Another Albion making the scum cry? Good to hear.

Why is it that our fans make so much noise away from home when we seem so quiet at home?

This applies to practically every other club too. The atmosphere at the Gate actually compares favourably with a lot of grounds.

Taylor’s developing a great culture at the club…

@Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan I remember the Gash scum doing the same when Bell Senior missed a penalty against them in 1998 and failed to tear a hole in their net with a right pearler in the FLT in 2001. Oh wait, no I don’t, cuz he never.
