I think we more nicked Bakinson from Luton rather than signed him IIIRC? Not that it was really worth the effort bar about 6 months of reasonable performances. Currently residing in the 'where are they now file' or Charlton Athletic as it is more commonly known.

I assume he meant to write 'also one of the worst' but you have to wonder what kind of things he has been typing if autocomplete defaults to 'one off the wrist"!!

If he gets through the rest of the season without injury then for me he has to stay. Otherwise too much of a risk.

To be fair to them (for once) that was the 'Trumpton' era and there may have been some sort of crowd restriction applied after the season they went up? Capacity was about 6000 and this was very soon after Hillsborough.

6022 King Edward III

Not only that, they reckoned the new stand would automatically add a couple of thousand to the gate, just by the fact of being there.

Well it has to be said it was Plymouth reserves that we smashed first half. Inexplicably Schumacher made 7 changes IIRC.

Plymouth activate 'Bristol City Mode' in second half.

Bloody hell Morgan Whitaker only cost around £1 million! 17 goals and 7 assists, that's probably more than our entire forward line. Why can't we have a home record like Plymouth?

Err... I think you meant Joe Jordan? Neither TC or Bob Taylor left us for Hearts.

FA Cup Semi Final too!

No kidding it was 150/1 Friday night, the odds can change very quickly. Unless you're a regular, the maximum bet they'd allow at those odds is probably £10, so you're never going to get a life-changing amount of money. I wouldn't say we are certainly safe at this point, lose the next 3 league games, which is possible and we'll certainly be looking over our shoulders. For me there's an air of complacency over the place with these signings for next season.

Some people scoffed when I said this and I must admit that I thought it would take longer than 6/7 weeks, but they've well and truly been reeled in by Leeds and Southampton. Will still make the Play-Offs at least barring a total collapse but you wouldn't fancy them against Leeds or Southampton.

You're almost certainly correct but stranger things have happened in football. 150/1 at the bookies for relegation, so £100 would cost you £15,000 but I very much doubt bookies would allow the bet, prob max stake of £10 or £20. However its fair to say at least one of the bottom 4 will put a run of 3 or 4 consecutive wins together between now and the end of the season, probably when one of them appoints Warnock! The good news is that he can't manage two teams....

Cansdown or Cinnion?

Could be a decent signing at L2 if he avoids the curse of the returning player. Also he was apparently behind returning from injury Adam Le Fondre in the pecking order at Hibs. My big takeaway from that is Adam Le Fondre is still playing!

Looks like they're about to lose Collins to Bolton for £750k. A player Joey Barton valued at £5 million. He has been rubbish for last 12 months though, clearly disgruntled since not getting a transfer away and who can blame him.

Good effort, draw was fair. Not much threat upfront. Would like to see Wells and Conway together at least for 15 mins. Struggling to explain Chris Wood's header in the second half!

Finally started working at half time for me, fine since but no sound.

Good God! 363 pages of whining!!! that's a herculean effort but it can be summarised as:- "Always the victim, it's never their fault..." One question re: Man City, if they can go back 10 years or whatever for their breaches, does that open the door for more retrospective charges. e.g. Leicester, Bournemouth, Villa?

It's a typo, they meant to say Chris Martin is 111. Sorry, the old ones are the best.

Those are actually the dates but it's an odd bit of scheduling!! The FA must be assuming that no team could get to the FA Cup final and the Championship play-off final. While it's highly unlikely, it's certainly not impossible that say Leeds, Leicester or Southampton could get to both with a favourable run of cup draws. I mean Leicester won the FA Cup recently.

Yes we couldn't score for toffee but Pulis permanently had Tony Thorpe on the bench. Could never understand that one. I don't know if it was the same game but I remember a Friday night home game v Wycombe that I drove down from London after work for. It was to this day the worst game of football I've ever seen. It was 0-0 and literally nothing happened in 90+ minutes. If they'd carried on playing for 24 hours it would have still been 0-0. I wish I'd left after 30 mins! I do sometimes wonder that if Pulis had stayed, would we have eventually have become Stoke City? i.e. top flight for a good time but with ugly hoofball football. It wasn't our choice anyway, hevwalked out to go to Plymouth or Portsmouth I think.

Yeah what's that all about??? Maybe they can have bigger gigs at the stadium; if they take the stand down, there's a stage already there. Actually I genuinely think that might be what the thinking was, you can't really rule out anything where they're concerned.

Oh dear, how sad, never mind...
