What a "character" he is; all the homespun charm and good humour of Fred West.

I'm fine with the colour blue because I am very nearly a mature adult. That way I can look down on an ignorant petty child like Ian Holloway who says he would never buy a red car, won't sit in a red chair, banned red cars from Bristol Rovers' training ground. What an utter prat he is. "I remember meeting him years ago, when he'd just taken over as manager at Bristol Rovers," says Steve Tongue, this newspaper's football correspondent. "I was early and I sat down to wait for him in his office. When he arrived, he made me exchange chairs with him because mine was blue and his was red [the colour of loathed rivals Bristol City]." Holloway also banned red vehicles from the training ground. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/ian-holloway-in-a-league-of-his-own-324844.html

Yes, actually that would have been a great USP for the Bristol edition - a separate set of small green tents and a big red wigwam for just that property.

I suppose that it's down to all the pie in the sky their owners keep coming out with about a new stadium which the Monopoly panel has believed and don't want a non-existent landmark sitting on the board for forty years. They have this problem with the original one where in the "law and order" orange set you have Marlborough Street (well known magistrates' court), Bow Street (original police base - Bow Street runners) and Vine Street which is a small service road for a hotel. Back in the day when the London board was put together Vine Street was the site of the biggest police station in London.

There's always one.

What a great name, he was clearly the inspiration for Pat Mustard. And can he please resolve the huge unknown on his wiki page: How many appearances did he make for Gloucester City ("Yellows")? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Mountain

You are all BRAINDEAD!! BRAINDEAD PLAYERS BRAINDEAD REFEREE. Bring me my spare bottle Jon, it's time for the second half now. BRAINDEAD BRISTOL. Go out there and enjoy your football.

@Davefevs to motor them to the Premiership one spreadsheet at a time.

And wouldn't that be absolutely superb

I am quivering with the anticipation of just such a missive.

He's on the naughty step at present.

I don't like that either! Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard were appointed into top manager jobs despite having zero experience purely because they were famous footballers. I agree that having played professional football is an advantage for a manager but there is no reason why being a great footballer should mean that you are a great or even a good manager. Two words: Sol Campbell.

If a female manager had had success at non-league level and then repeated that through Divisions 4 and 3 then absolutely we should consider them. I'm sure that will come about in the nearish future but until the day when we're appointing a female manager on pure merit then no, it would be a mixture of an enormous gamble and a publicity stunt worthy of the Uri Geller / Michael Jackson era at Exeter.

Gotta be...

Congratulations Phantom, the ideal person for it.

I will be running onto the pitch naked shouting "Bring back Nigel!". You will be able to recognise me because I will be carrying a copy of the Evening Standard.

Apparently his message of peace is : "Stop fighting or I'll effing chin the lot of you, come on, COME ON THEN!!!!".

QPR are delighted to announce the appointment of Martí Cifuentes as the club’s new head coach. The 41-year-old Spaniard arrives from Swedish top-flight side Hammarby, where he has been for the past two years. QPR CEO Lee Hoos said: “We are delighted to bring Martí in and I would firstly like to thank Hammarby for being fantastic to deal with throughout the process https://www.qpr.co.uk/news/2023/october/30/marti-cifuentes-appointed/ Warnock still available then, would be nice.

Going back to the OP, tomorrow's Sound of the City has become a "must listen".

It's been so long since I've listened to 606 that I've forgotten that they were the two originals, and yes they were excellent as you say. It was genuinely shocking for me to hear it tonight for maybe the first time this century, it was amateurish and lacking in the general interest football stories which the two Dannys did so well. The best I can say about it is that it reinforces for me just how good Geoff Twentyman was at his job. How come he was on a local station and these halfwits go out nationally?

It's really poor isn't it? This weekend Gareth Ainsworth, brief mention, Joey Barton, mentioned in the introduction bracketed with NP, and NP have been sacked. Two of those are Championship managers, yet about an hour of this programme has been about Man United and City and these major changes have been barely mentioned. It's also incredibly cliquey. It will be at least another twenty years before I listen again. Out of reactions for today. Edit: FFS, last call yet another Man City fan saying the same thing for the tenth time.

Like @bcfc01 it's probably twenty years since I last listening to 606 and it's 95% about the top half of the premiership which isn't how I remember it. About ten minutes left, come on KITR.

And then spent the next seven hours in the pub!

@Kid in the Riot is "Cider" is he? TBF he's posher than I imagined him to be.

Terrible news.
