Petula Clark, Downtown:- Enviously stare across town at the stadium of the City Spit tobacco on the sidewalk when Barton says you’re s****y Why do we lose? The sprinklers are championship-ready there, you can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares The Gas are down, down, things are so great cuz they’re down, down, no finer place for sure down, down Prison is waiting for you.

Tobacco chewing, if you don’t mind. ”The ball has just landed in a spittoon.”

“Some claim it can provide performance-enhancing benefits and relieve anxiety, but there is no concrete scientific proof.” I think the Gash are evidence that it does nothing of the sort. ???

Barton should confiscate that chewing tobacco - it may buy him a few “favours” this summer...

From the BBC match report:- “Grigg doubled the advantage on the hour, shooting home from close range after a free-kick from the left into Rovers' box led to wretched defending and a goalmouth scramble.” Can’t have been worse than that Frank-Spencer-on-rollerskates slapstick at Ipswich on Good Friday. Can it...?

I’m apparently not able to laugh face this - I’ve used up six fifths of my reactions...

If we can get 10 points from the nine available we could still stay up...

The whole sordid enterprise has gone down the pan, much to the elation of all sensible football fans everywhere. But enough about the Gastards’ impending relegation, I hear the ESL is also going t*ts up.

Pity they couldn’t save Gas...

Not quite true, they had to win for all the City fans in the away end of the Pisspoorial Mound...

Ayunga, Westbrooke, Leahy - Nil Satis.

League One IS a super league this season given it’s shortly going to get rid of the Gash...

They should have “See you next season, Teds!” embroidered on their club badge, given they trot it out every year without fail. What a bunch of deluded, self-pitying flanges the Gash are. See you next season? Bunch of C U Next Tuesdays more like.

Saw this on Twitter from a Swindon account (hence the hashtag):- Relegation projections... AFC Wimbledon 5.2% Wigan 10.2% ---- Rochdale 89.1% Northampton 96.7% Bristol Rovers 99.3% #STFC 99.5%

Aye, we effectively relegated the bastards in one of the most febrile AG atmospheres I’ve been privileged to be a part of in April ‘93. If memory serves Tinman scored and Ian Alexander got sent off. Tremendous night.

I think it’s ironic that the Gash’s manager could very well be peeling the spuds that make the past-their-sell-by-date crisps they’ll be selling in the club tuck shop next season.

Ha - we’ve clearly done exactly that. Our average attendances during our 97/98 promotion season were 11,000-odd - we’re averaging almost double that nowadays (pre-pandemic obviously). Compare the Rent Boys, who are probably averaging about the same as they were back then. Another clueless gimboid.

The Gash usually do quite well against them... ?

No need to season it - plenty of salt on Asshat I’m sure...

I wonder what Rovers’ former fanzine editor makes of it all? She supports Wimbledon now...

Be interesting to see a map of where the two respective clubs draw support from. City’s tentacles stretch out quite far into Somerset and Wiltshire as well as Bristol itself. Very few Gash in south Bristol, but they have pockets of support up into Gloucestershire.

I’ve actually seen a few given up the ghost to the extent that they are hoping Wimbledon win to send Swindon down with them...

I gert loves it. Once again Tyron Lannister and his fellow Imps get the better of those who have carnal knowledge of their siblings. Come on, the Wombles - but at least if Swindon win the Gash will be bottom of the table. Gappy days! FTG

Bolt on a year’s subscription to Babestation and a VIP trip to Braintree where you get to be up close and personal with the home players then we’ll talk.

It always amuses me when Gastards try to make out we have the unlimited spending power of PSG or Manchester City, like we should be winning the Champions League every year or something but are merely an established Championship side. The fact is, there wasn’t much between the two clubs for much of our respective histories - since the turn of the century we have accelerated away from them both on and off the pitch, and we’ve hardly ripped up trees. It’s really testament to how rancid they’ve been on and off the pitch for the past two decades. Have I been frustrated with the one-step-forward-two-steps-back saga of the past few seasons? Absolutely. Am I “unhappy” as a City fan? No. Would I trade places with the Scum over the river? Not for all the fake Fanta in China, sunshine.
