Big game at Hillsborough today, would love to see a big win for Wednesday for the GD, but any win would do!

If they lose their next 2 - Sheffield Wednesday and Plymouth they are in big trouble. 

You could argue Southampton will be out of contention for automatic by then (if not already) so may rest a few players, meaning they could need 3 points final day. 

Probably shouldn't say, but if that were the case, I'd go to an away game I wasn't intending to do.

Is it wrong to take joy from others misery?

You’d always rather have points on the board, but bear in Southampton have two in hand and then trips to Leicester and Leeds on the final day. Goal difference means it’s probably out of their hands, but they still have everything to play for as things stand.

Remember Taylor - in the urinal, not on the balcony!!

Playing well, keep it up City, let’s get that second goal… and not concede a sloppy one on the break!! 

Apologies for not updating the thread everyone, it had slipped so far down the pages.

I'm afraid all three tickets have now been sold - Mods if you'd be good enough to amend the title! 

Best of luck in the search for tickets you guys.

I have 2 tickets but at the last minute nephew has decided he's available, does anyone have any spare tickets going?

Have sent you a DM

Update:

Single ticket sold.

Pair of tickets together still available!

Morning all,

I have three tickets in the away end next week for sale. Full disclosure; a little awkwardly, we bought an initial two together and, separately, a third - which we were going to try to work out on the day!! Will confirm details over DM for those interested. 

Two of us were supposed to be spending next week in Southampton for work but this has changed last minute - and a lack of appetite for the solo trip for the third - means they're all up for grabs.

I have the physical tickets with me, however as I'm Brighton based I'd have to post these to you (a bit of trust involved here!) and take payment online. If there are any takers then ideally I would get these in the post today, first class, to get them over to you ASAP.

Conscious of time constraints, so first come first serve - face value (£25 each, no worries about postage).

Cheers

Missed the boat by a few minutes having got the go ahead....

Anyone with two tickets for sale next to each other please? DM me

I can collect from Bristol area this evening

FYI, about 20 minutes ago, I bought what was showing as the final one ticket available. When I completed the purchase, it said there were another two for sale - perhaps they were being held in people's baskets and they didn't follow through.

Keep refreshing! 

Appreciate this is a thread aimed at what Manning didn't say, and this probably stood out like a sore thumb because NP was such a beacon of considered, articulate thoughts after the cliche bingo of LJ / MA - but in the few clips I've seen, I've already lost count of how many times he's said "the big bit" or variations thereof.

"The big bit for me is I want people to enjoy watching this time"

"The big bit is the playing group that's currently here"

"It starts with behaviours, that's the most important bit"

"That's the biggest bit, how you look at the weekend, win, lose or draw"

""Being open to learning, being coachable, I think that's the biggest bit"

"How we review sessions, how we review games, how we analyse everything... that's the biggest bit"

"The big bit is getting results and winning games"

But Liam, which of the big bits is the biggest!?

True - there’s Summit about him.

I’ll get me coat.

Oh yes, Andes constantly inspiring Max to reach Peak performance in a Range of ways! We'll be Climbing the table in no time... 

Mixed emotions about this one - I’ve lived in Brighton since 2014 (left Bristol midway through the title winning season ) and rarely manage to make it to any City games home or away these days (our last game was WBA at home on Boxing Day - aren’t we lucky!)

My partner has recently got a job that takes her to Southampton every now and then, so this was one of the first fixtures we looked out for this year.

 
I’ve just bought our tickets, and being such a rare treat for us it’ll be a great night either way, but was a massive fan of NP and everything he stood for and was building us towards - so just wish this one were coming under different circumstances.

Hey ho, see you all in a few weeks - COYR

As votes stand, a little over 30% of voters either want Steve Lansdown to remain as owner or aren't sure, but only 60% of those (18% total) trust or possibly trust them to make good decisions in the club's best interests. Unpack that! 

Excruciating officiating

This is tough to watch. Frantic, no composure and generally a really poor quality game. 
 

Surely it can only get better!?

The return of the annual Mildly Interesting Prediction Quiz which continues to almost take OTIB by storm each season.

All questions BCFC or City related.

Last year I asked if there might be a new Champion, perhaps even with a record score? Well, we got one on both counts, @hinsleburg powering unstoppably to take the coveted crown with an outstanding 33 points.

A worthy Champ indeed, following on from previous winners @Nogbad the Bad, joint champs @Alex_BCFC, @Lrrr, @RedM, @CheddarReds, ziderheadarmy, and @The Enormous Turnip.

So, again, could there be a new winner this year, perhaps with a new record score?

There could, and it could be you. The crown and the glory are up for grabs again! If you've never entered but surprised yourself by following the thread now is the time to take the plunge and make your first sortie into the competition - first time entries always welcome, the more the merrier! Come on, especially some of OTIB's more prominent posters, don't be shy!

Just for a bit of fun, an unprecedented 60 points to play for this season.

To allow everyone to have as much squad information etc. as possible to work with this is a deliberately late start so you'll need to be quick, and please note a strict cut-off date/time for entries of mid day this coming Saturday, 5th August.

So don't put it off, get your entry in soon!

Well, it was 14 years ago, and right up the other end...... but I'm still rouge-ing at my appalling error. 

Turns out that was his only league goal for City too!

May have been up the other end but unmissable in that iconic luminous yellow strip  he also opened the scoring in the play-off first leg at Hartlepool if that counts as league!

Just been reminded by @The Enormous Turnip that our memorable trip to Oakwell to see Greg Goodridge's winner was FOURTEEN years ago. 

The bloke on the tannoy as we made our way out knew what was in store for us, 'Good luck in the play offs Bristol, and SEE YOU NEXT SEASON.' 

You mean, of course, the one and only (An)T(h)ony Rougier @Nogbad the Bad !
