Barrs Court Red

You’re absolutely right. Another aspect that doesn’t, and hasn’t helped in recent years is where ever the “singing section” seems to be, the club make it the cheapest spot, which just dilutes it. That or actively work against it.

Aye, and I have a distinct sense of de ja vous with this one - pretty sure some years back the amount of silences, applauses and other tributes across football caused a change, so they were much more limited.

There’s no potential sale.

Pre World Cup I wanted England to badly (long term future needs change now) Pre World Cup I expected England to do badly - their form was woeful. Tonight, result aside was as good a performance since they beat NZ four years ago at the same stage. They could almost feel robbed tonight - all credit to the lads, they’ve given it a right go against the world champions.

Did he???

Is it time to unleash the bedsheets? bonus points for any done in crayon

That’s a fair point. I suspect the minds already been made up, which presents a huge potential problem for the ownership in the near future, depending on where City are in the table.

I just searched XTC on Spotify. What a banger, nice one.

I looked him up. Played 6(I think) games and did look very very good for the first 20, but after that, I’m not convinced.

I mean, I get it, imagine spending millions of your tax savings investing millions on a local football club, only for the fans to prefer the grumpy and understated manager you personally phoned and asked to take the job you were forced to employ by your board. The egos got to take a hit when he calls you out on your nonsense when the manager doesn’t recognise your undoubted wealth of knowledge when you interfere provide feedback.

And not just building a team, but doing so with lots of youth - something Lansdown has been banging on about for years.

January would seem like the tipping point, especially if City are going reasonably well.

Indeed. Utterly classless behaviour, and great Nige has called it out publicly.

What board?

Staggering stuff. I wonder which one of them it was. I know he’s marmite, but I wonder how much of the above behaviour LJ was alluding to when he said “i could write a book on what’s gone on”.

Please tell me that had a happy ending

I fear he’s toast, though he’s called out boy blunder in the past and got away with it I guess.

I’d love a Christmas Eve game, but that would probably mean no Boxing Day game.

Much better 2nd half - after feeling robbed by Stoke, this feels deserved.

Daylight robbery - I’ll take it

I had the exact same thought.

Wigan?

Stig Johansen

Which was apt, as he didn’t seem to run when on the pitch.
