I never understood motorcycle speedway as a spectator sport.

Really? A loud, noisy spectacle with risk and close racing.

I'd sooner understand your view if you were talking about horse racing. Spend all day at a track and see horses run past maybe a dozen times, while stood next to idiots on the pi**. 

Of course, all IMHO.

The 15ers are currently debating whether they would be in a better position had their crayon chewing mutants been in attendance this season.

This belter, "cock-endgas" (typo in his username) then mentions our "fickle" fans.

Erm, pot & kettle, pal !

Our fickle fans? Our attendances over the last 3 years says we aren't and we've been crap at home. 

We'll find out what fickle means when they've been relegated and they publish season ticket numbers.

Why does he keep looking over his shoulder?

Who's after him.

Proper dodgy

If you’re not guilty of anything you've got nothing to worry about

Gas need that bloke who played half a dozen games 20 years ago to turn up fast and inspire the players

I see Barton is now turning to the guy who saved them 13 years ago!!!!

Jesus, they are desperate - perhaps he could bring his boots with him - probably net a few more than thei current strike force.

That's properly embarrassing for the manager. 

Been there for 5 mins and needs help from someone who played a handful of games nearly 20 years ago in a division below.

In fact, quite ‘Trumpian”. Just talk about yourself and how unfair everything is, rather than actual issues. 

The irony is, his players constantly make mistakes yet, somehow, officials aren't allowed to make any.

Sunderland fans love LJs Brent like comments. To be fair I always liked that about him. That's how he speaks and he's just being himself. Hope he never changes. Hope he takes them up!

You like someone who doesn't know how to converse properly in English?

Not exactly an attribute.

He just blames anyone and everything.

Officials, players, captain, state of the club internally and now the recruitment.

He no longer talks about positional play, tactics or anything "football", just platitudes, blame and wordplay.

Barton’s meltdown I’m the game Man City won their first premier league was immense, second only to cantonas Kung fu kick for football player violence I have see live.

 

Apparently, its because "he's a winner".

haha, Barton straight to the ref at full time, arms out, looking like one of their GHS than a manager...

Maybe he was going to ask him for a character reference for June?

Obviously closet gas. If you were old enough & remember how they (sorry you) conducted themselves (yourselves)  in 82 then you’d understand . 

The cr*p we went through in 1982, my school days putting up with a majority of gas 'friends'. Girlfriends who supported the Gas. Family who never went to watch the Gas but revelled in them beating us (w*nkers). 

This is all for them

Agent Pitman your mission should you choose to accept… 

I like Pitman (except when one-on-one with the keeper). 

I'll like him even more if he does the deed.

Could be a famous Gas double........both the Manager and Team could go down

I really hope it was an awful decision. And I really hope they get relegated by one point. That will be nearly as good when they got relegated to NON LEAGUE . Remember that. 

Twas a lovely sunny day.

I'd argue that they're punching well above their weight/level.

The facilities are conference standard at best, and even then that's doing some of the conference sides an injustice. 

The average attendance (we know despite them bleating on about how good it is) is shocking for a club that claims they are "so well supported", and is in fairness inline with a 4th division club (or league 2 in new money).

They measure their success on how bad we are doing.

Hop around from one ground to another, then moan when the council won't give them a new ground for free.

Their biggest recent success is when Dean Windass scored in the playoff final to stop us getting to the Prem. 

I'm only in my mid 30's, but as I'm getting older the number of sags I know of and see around on social media are just getting needier and more pathetic. In comparison I do know a few that I can have a good laugh with, and are realistic (a rare commodity).

They're punching well above their weight, and always have done. We've had relatively little success in comparison to some clubs of a similar size, but they've had even less.

Fair comments.

Has anyone got the foggiest idea? They don't deserve anything and there is most certainly not 'a club like theirs' (still in the 1950's) in the Championship that I can remember. Delusion as usual? I assume they're better and bigger than Rotherham (no), Wycombe (maybe bigger but Wycombe have a much better team and ground) and Coventry (don't be silly) that had the audacity to get promoted in place of the self deserving losers?

It's almost 30 years since we played second tier football and that's way too long for a club like ours. The fans really do deserve better than this.

 

 

A club like theirs? What, a perennial 3rd/4th tier outfit who play in run-down grounds from yesteryear with an average attendance that shouts 3rd/4th tier. 

They're already punching at their weight. 

Wonder how many sags will enjoy the Nigel Pearson interview on Points West later. 

Currys in Bristol will do a roaring trade this weekend, replacing sag TVs with remotes wedged in the screen. 

Their fans can't help but mention us to Twentypence now. 

Last night was a joy.

We’ve lost 1 game less than Bournemouth and they are in the play offs. Things could be worse. Most of the people on this forum are acting like we are in turmoil and the club are going to go bust. 
 

yes we’ve lost the last 6 or 7 games, but remember this squad or players is the same squad that won 4 in a row at the start of the season...

 

It's a shame many of the players who helped us win those 4 games are unavailable. 

Good luck finding a Bristolian who has much idea about its history, architecture or past culture.

I can't blame my government for starting a worldwide pandemic.  They have no responsibility for it . Sorry you don't like it, but I and many others blame China simply because it's their fault.

The argument of a simpleton some might say. 

It wasn't a pandemic until the world ignored it.

Or they will be so desperate to get people on their services that flights are even cheaper?

When all this first started to break many flights prices were dropping through the floor

I think demand will be there, but supply will be limited. The risk of another surge in Coronavirus will be ever-present and airlines will want to be much smaller and financially frugal for the time being.

Only thing absurd here is your defense of China, the country of origin of this virus that's pretty much ****** the world.

You might like to have a look at your own government, who deemed it appropriate to allow holidaymakers to gallavant all over the place until a couple of weeks ago. 

That was reckless in the extreme. All for the sake of a bit of sun and ski. Ridiculous. 

They knew it was coming weeks ago. I certainly did and made plans to move out of my home 5 weeks ago. I'm glad I did. I stopped all unnecessary movement 4 weeks ago including Ashton Gate. Except there were 20,000 idiots there well after me. 

Blame the Chinese government if you have to. Not the Chinese. Our government are dangerous a**holes who care nothing for the poor, but I'm not having my name associated with them, any more than a chinese person should with their dictatorial government.

That's right, a couple of billion innocent people should take the flack for the actions of a few.
