    Did you know that Gianluigi Buffon had played at Ashton Gate?

    Was looking back at some old memories and remenber attending this game when I was still in single digits for age and surprised to see that I've seen Buffon play.

    Anyone else remember this a bit better than me? 

    Not many of the England squad made it big.

    12,000 attendance if I remember rightly

    Four times for me and managed to see him at all the `major` stages of his career. Ziggy Stardust tour, Serious Moonlight tour, Glass Spider tour and one I can`t recall the name of but it was the time of `Fashion`, `Heroes`, `Boys Keep Swinging` - might have been called the Lodger tour or something like that.

    Saw him on the Ziggy tour, Taunton Odeon, June 73, my first gig

    I was there as well. Good gig, although the Cheese & Grain's beer selection left something to be desired.

    One thing always to be said, HMHB do love playing in the West Country and Nigel Blackwell has a great love of the area generally, as many song titles attest. They've already pencilled in some gigs later this year, including a Cardiff gig, so there's always a chance they may schedule one on the right side of the bridge.

    Trouble over Bridgewater ?

    Back in the early 70s there was a song at AG that started "Over there, over there, and do they smell...........", and my dear old dad used to cough at exactly the right time, every time trying to drown out a certain word.

    Bradford, but that was away.

    I seem to recall there was quite an interesting game against Portsmouth back in 1976, when we scored in the 3rd minute and won 1-0.

    And that huge clock to the right of us very slowly reminding how long to go ?

    That 18th goal killed us’ insist Latvia Women’s football team

     December 1, 2021
     Written by Mark Molloy

    Latvia have insisted today that they were still in last night’s World Cup Qualifier match with England, until the 18th goal went in.

    With England going on to win the game 20-0 at the end, Latvia’s coach Romans Kvacovs has insisted today that the game was still in the balance right up to when England scored a lucky 18th goal.

    Speaking earlier he fumed, “So unlucky, we were right in the game, it could have gone either way.

    “But then England scored their 18th and our players’ heads just went down, it was such a lucky goal. It really was a sucker punch at a crucial time in the match.

    “We always thought it would be a tough game but when it was only 8-0 at halftime we had England just where we wanted them, and I could see they were getting nervous.

    “It was a real battle then for most of the second half with England on the ropes for long periods of the game but somehow managing to score another few very lucky goals which were all rubbish and offside.

    “Then just as we were about to stage a great comeback we conceded a soft 18th goal in 82nd minute and the girls just couldn’t recover, there was just no time to stage our come back after that.”

    Asked if he thought the result was a fair reflection of the game he told us, “No, we battered them. And what’s the ref doing? Only three minutes of injury time? It’s an absolute joke.”

  19. Which City player that you saw had the earliest City debut?

    I have read the question several times and still don't understand it. But to follow others my first game was at the start of the 70/71 League season vs Sunderland and I am led to believe (although I was 8 yrs old and had no idea) but a certain Gerald Gow made his league debut....... or that may have been when the Dolman Stand made its debut, happy to be corrected on either.

    The Dolman definitely made its debut that day, a 4-3 win

  21. Just copy Conte 5 - 2 - 2

    Just watching Spurs first game under Conte. 3-1 up after 30 mins.

    But just looking at the shape it’s strikes me we could just copy him.

    Decent goal keeper - Tick

    3 at the back - Atkinson, Kalas and Baker  - Tick

    2 Holding midfielders - Williams & HNM - Tick 

    2 High up Fall backs - Pring & Taner - Half a Tick both have the energy and pace but sure about quality.

    2 mobile wide front players who can tuck in - Wieman and Seymenyo - Tick Also Scott possibly.

    1 Centre forward - Wells  - Tick

    Pace in the team - Tick

    Energy - Tick 

    If we stick with the shape we would need at least a Striker, Winger and even maybe a central defender to cover injuries.

    Would at least be entertaining to watch and looks better than some of the formation and players we have had in 

    Looks like it would be more solid and also be built to play on the break.

     

     

     

     

    This chap Tick, (a new signing)? is being ask to do a lot
