Marinovic
He played one game, we didn’t lose & he wasn’t at fault for the goal.
It’s such a myth that he was that bad.
Mebude on loan was as baffling as signing Haikin, who arrived, was on the bench for a couple of months & left without ever getting on the pitch.

What did Patch Warner say :laugh:? He’s certainly king of the happy clappers
Just stuff like “a few players have points to prove”, “next goal is key”, “hopefully we can score a couple for those who have travelled”, said something at half time about needing an early goal to get back into it, when it was obvious we’d given up.
Just embarrassing.

Absolutely woeful.
Someone should drug test that Patch Warner bloke though, unreal.
My particular favourite was when he said Stoke were “running down the clock” when they made a substitution.
They were 4 up & had hit the woodwork twice by then..

That last ten minutes was embarrassing. Stoke have been so sloppy, how the f@ck are we losing 3-0
Not tracking runners, failing to put challenges in.
Poor.

3-0 down and now these jokers on Robins TV. Get me on the beach.
Incredible, basically North Korea TV.

Really poor defensively, Dickie aside we haven’t been at the races.
Lack of effort by Williams in particular to get back for the second was really poor.
I’d be making a triple sub at HT & give TGH, Knight-Lebel & Wells some minutes.

Is Cundy injured? Doesn’t look like he’s played for a while
Missed the entire season injured.
Out of contract I think, can’t think he’ll get another.

Tbf didn’t Brunt tear up his contract before it was due to end, when he realised he wouldn’t get back?
Yes, he did.
He’d been injured a while at the time but to be fair to him, he certainly wasn’t a Jody Morris type.

Mind you, I listened to Tinnion on a podcast the other week & he actually said with a straight face that it was good to get Mickey Bell (his best mate), Matt Hewlett & Dean Gerken FFS on the coaching staff because they “understand the club”.
Leaving aside the fact Gerken is from Essex & was basically only ever our reserve goalie, it really does say a lot.
Premiership winner & City fan? Nope?
Mate of Tinnion? More than welcome..

Top bloke who achieved the lot in football.
Real shame if (as appears the case) he doesn’t join the coaching staff this summer.

But we could easily be in the same division as rvrs which would seem quite stark being 'light years' apart off the field
I don’t know when you last looked at the league table? We’re top half & could finish 10th.
Based on your logic Brighton “could easily” be in the Championship.
Sunderland are in the division above Burton Albion, no one seriously thinks they are similar sized clubs.

600 pints ….. a pint for every goal he’s let in this season
He’s a top six keeper in by far the worst side in the division, they would have conceded far more with someone else in goal.

I’m a St George boy too, Graham - born in our house on Summerhill Road in ‘55. Always considered that part of Bristol 5 to be a 50:50 split; my dad took me to AG whereas another relative took me Eastville. I was football mad so I didn’t complain but there was only ever one team in my heart.
Lived just up from the fountain from my year of birth (‘63) until I left home in ‘86. Went to Summerhill school of course.
My old man is from BS3, so he took me to the true home of football from a very early age- a lucky escape because my mum’s side of the family were all gas..

Richard Tandy of ELO, he’s the bloke who played the piano riff on Evil Woman, they were never cool but sold an incredible number of albums in the 70s.

It was my mates 18th & we got soundly drunk in Bath pre kick off. I use that season to sum up supporting City to people that support other teams; even when we succeed we find a way to screw it up. For me, the Millennium stadium non event v BHA still trumps it as my worst day supporting City. At least we looked like we were trying v Rovers.
It was a great season though & I hardly missed a game home or away. Remember getting pelted by coins & bottles (warm Lucazade, i think?) at the end of the game away to Cardiff. Still, that seemed tame compared to the scenes leaving St Andrews!
For me, Jordan then leaving is a massive sliding doors moment. Even Lumsden got us close to the top 6, had Joe stayed I reckon we had a really good chance.
I hate the phrase “typical City” because often it is used on here about things that happen to every single club (the left back is out injured, for instance).
It is the case though that a season that included a 4-0 win at Birmingham (as you quite rightly say, “lively” afterwards), a 5-0 win at Swansea (“Yorath is back”) & numerous other memorable days with Super Bob scoring 34 goals despite missing 6 of the last 7 games, could only end with us blowing a lead after the Messiah got injured & losing the title to those filthy bastards.
That summer I accompanied the lads behind The Bountyhunter on the pre season tour of Scotland & it’s fair to say optimism was very high, the first game against Blackburn (what a performance) only emphasised this.
Four days later, Joe was gone..

On form alone, and if this is right.
4 teams have 12 points from 6.
2 teams unbeaten .
We have best goals against and equal best goal difference.
4 clean sheets from 6 games.
We are 2nd in the form table behind the team that has just won the Championship, and they have lost in that run. You would think Manning would have got the nomination
100%.
Harris has done well but Manning should have been on the shortlist ahead of him.

Hanham, St George have always been mixed, but I'm surprised what you say about Fishponds. Were you born in 1960? I was born in 64, went to Whitefield and it was pretty much solid Rovers when I went there.
Worked in Fishponds (Lodge House) in the early 80s, so around ‘83-‘88, it definitely seemed to be more blue than red then.
Grew up in St.George in the 60s/70s, that was definitely 50/50.

They had a decent team in fairness. White was a real handful
Goalkeeper who played for England, a striker who didn’t disgrace himself in the top flight & a lot of well organised physical players in a system that worked.
Absolutely hated that team (especially the thug Alexander, Jones, White & Holloway) but know they were good at what they did.

Really shit night all round.
Having to listen to that chirpy Cockernee Francis singing “going up” when they wouldn’t let us out was I thought the worst of it, until I bumped into a bloke I worked with (City lifer) a few weeks after & he told me his old man had collapsed & subsequently died on the way out that night.
Hated every single visit to Twerton until the very last one, the 4-0 defeat a year or so later was just as bad.

He also mentioned potentially going to some play off games here and abroad if time allows due to watching players live for recruitment Perhaps we have our eye on someone in League One, Two's play off teams.
What like at Oxford, for instance…
Some of the European leagues have relegation playoffs, won’t be at all surprised if he’s referring to that

Wrexham will get there before us
Remember seeing people say this about Plymouth & even one deluded soul, Rovers.
Let’s just see, eh?
Beating League Two teams with a budget that dwarfs theirs proves absolutely **** all.
They’ll find the likes of Huddersfield, Birmingham & Charlton, plus the 3 who fail in the playoffs a completely different prospect.

Evidently Chicken Town by John Cooper Clarke was definitely written about Stoke.
Basically wouldn’t look out of place in Belarus.

“Rarely get anything”.
This season a draw at home, loss away.
Did the double over them last season.
Season before that both games were draws.
One before that we won a game each.
One before that, 2 more draws.
So they have beaten us twice in the last 10 meetings.
Facts, eh?
