  1. Remember it well. The coldest I have ever been in a football ground.
  2. I wouldn't completely discount it. There might be someone out there, short term, that's a safe pair of hands (or feet) that could help keep us above the line.
  3. I've seen us 5 times, 4 defeats and a 0-0 draw, 1 goal scored. Apart from a decent run and ball in where we hit the bar tonight, 50/50 crosses is about all I've seen in the final third. Decent effort, but it's not decent football in the final third. Results will not come if that's all we have about us. All the praised effort in the world doesn't hide the fact that a very poor Sheffield United have walked away with 3 points.
  4. Far too repetitive and predictable. The same patterns of play over and over. Any competent defence will deal with the predictable all day long. Antoine got in behind them a few times, other than that nothing incisive.
  5. I've never been to a game with VAR, but if it meant waiting longer than 30 seconds for a decision, or looking at a big screen every 5 minutes, I think I'd stick to watching my son play on Sunday mornings.
  6. The EFL statement says it's in line with the approach of the FA, which I think all grass roots football falls under.
  7. IMO if they can't decide within 30 seconds, no penalty and carry on with the game
  8. Or Escape to Victory. All the greats, Stallone, Caine, Osman....
  9. The Gate Be careful what you wish for Job for Cotts Any mention of the Avon Gorge hotel (including this one!)
  10. I haven't followed Pearson's career as closely as some. Is he really not as effective without his right hand man Shakespeare? Are we getting some of his good bits, but not the full package?
  11. Do we really want someone who's lost interest appointing his replacement? It's not just about 3 games, I think people are fed up because it's been so drab for so long. For me the ownership situation needs concluding ASAP. You either want it or you don't, there's no in between. Where's the light at the end of the tunnel? It feels staler than the french stick I threw out this morning!
  12. Not sure what the rules are this week, yellow for that is fine with me, I don't want to see the game turned into a complete pantomime
  13. I'm not up to speed with the various academy categories, I don't even know our current status? What are the benefits of being Cat 1 over say Cat 2? How do you get to Cat 1, is it just a case of proving you're spending the money and making an application? I know we're in every penny counts territory, but £2.3-4.9m seems relatively small when compared to what we've spent on some less than productive players down the years. There are more young players coming through which is great to see, maybe we are slowly moving up the categories.
  14. The Dolman was bouncing like a ball ! I went tonight and it was a good show, a lot of younger people there. I don't mind a mixture of acts for all ages, us oldies had to wait a long time for events like this in Bristol. I do agree that its's way too expensive though. This wasn't a particularly complex or spectacular show and I think the number of empty seats reflected the cost.
  15. At last, they can stop banging on about 1958 !
  16. I mean that really is the important part of that memory that AG City shared with us.
  17. I agree. Semi finals at Wembley, messing around with the kick off time and the silly premier league not managing to play 38 games by mid May have ruined it for me. That sense of occasion isn't quite there any more. Another thing that amazes me is the number of empty seats 10 minutes into the second half. Your lucky enough to get a ticket for the FA cup final and your more interested in getting a burger?
  18. It was a great day. City have been promoted 5 times in my time watching them. This is the only time I've been there (no doubt the same for many others) to see it. 1984 and 2015 were away from home, 1990 and 1998 we were finally promoted without kicking a ball. Let's hope we're at home when we get promoted to the Premier League!
  19. Left the band before they became famous. A bit like when Water quit Earth, Wind and Fire due to artistic differences.
  20. Glad we got this cleared up. Now, was Mel B really not wearing any knickers when she got her MBE from William?
  21. I think this sums it up for me. As long as we've had our fun, sod everyone else. What about the 50-ish bald headed twonk that started it off? I mean honestly, go and buy a 2 seat sports car or something.
