  1. Especially when pies are mentioned. Now if it had been prawn sandwiches; us non-club members could have known the thread was about Manchester.
  2. Two new legs for Williams. just an idea!! oh hang on! Make that three; he’ll break one on Boxing Day
  3. “You need to dictate the game with and without the ball, not through individuals … use transitions, switch quickly … to think and find the right solutions quickly … and shoot within 10 seconds of winning the ball back.”Rangnick “The biggest untapped potential lies in the footballer’s brain,” Rangnick
  4. Bloody brilliant Watch it!
  5. With a clickbait headline starter 'Pearson leaves City....'
  6. Yesterday’s pass rate was appalling but it had a lot to do with lack of movement off the ball. There were no options for the player on the ball. At times (many times) our midfielders were absolutely isolated from one another and thus had to hit hopeful balls. There were no triangles; whether that has to do with nerves or simply not wanting the ball, it means we couldn’t get it down and play. Throw ins were exactly the same: no movement, no one wanting the ball. Benarous has been criticised but I didn’t see him being given options. After one bit of shielding the ball out, HNM went over and praised him. Some of the older players could learn from that.
  7. Yes. Madness! Let's get Scotty to put the purple out if nothing is done!!!
  8. Was he involved in signing Elijah Adebayo? Guy had loan spells with Swindon and Cheltenham, has a 1 goal in 2 game ratio this season and looks a real handful. Just the kind of player our recruitment team should have spotted.
  9. Is the Ashton Gate Halt the place where any non-Bristolian football team stops for 90 minutes and then steams away with three points?
  10. Don’t remember it being very good back in the day when there was City in there. I even remember people complaining because of the way the roof sloped.
  11. Well you’re a cheery chappie, aren’t you? If those are your immediate thoughts when we win, God help your bus driver when we lose.
  12. Think I saw the Cortinas there. Deffo saw them in a club on Park Street anyway. anyone remember Chutes? Near the Colston Hall.
  13. Ah but it’s the Germans. They might be able to make it work but our bunch of profiteering scumbags will only have their eyes on the Yankee dollar. If fans, players and officials get sick, they won’t be bothered as long as the Sky moolah rolls into their and the marquee players’ pockets. Hope it all implodes so we can start football again with a level playing field, salary caps throughout and a ban on foreign corrupt investment.
  14. Just got back and so haven’t read whole thread but can’t agree with Redstreet and the doom merchants. Agreed we struggled second half at times but it was extremely hot. In my view, Webster looks the real deal if you want someone who doesn’t just hoof it. Tactical change quite interesting and the set pieces have been Southgated!! We were busy in midfield but playing two wingers was a bit optimistic. Bryan off the pace but otherwise we were ok.
  15. We've already had Nick Hunt we don't need two Irish ones!!
  16. Let's just hope he doesn't come back with Englebert Humperdink.
