Without doubt one of the very best. Fearless diving at opponents forwards feet to get the ball. Too brave for his own good sometimes but a safe pair of hands , at a time when keepers actually caught the ball.

I work with a Reading fan. He's bricking it. Sheff utd , Hull,Luton away and Swansea,W.B.A home. And only 8 points clear of Barnsley who have a game in hand. He reckons Barnsley away to W.B.A on last day of season will be nail biter.

Ashton thought he could mirror the Brentford moneyball project , much praised by some on here. Unfortunately he believed his own bull crap.

Won't be long before we get a suggestion that Gary Johnson as manager and Lee as his assistant would be on the cards. The dream team. God help us.

He also used Isambard Brunel opposite Temple Meads, before catching and returning from train journeys.

The Gashead term came from the Eastville days. It referred to their hordes stood in the ground shoulder to shoulder as the gas swept across from the gas works leaving their heads stinking of gas. I worked at Fishponds and the bus I caught stopped near a pub on Stapleton road. On match days, you could tell if those getting on the bus had been to the game, because of the smell of gas. That's why they got the name. City used to wind them with the gas head term. They adopted it from us. That was before City were promoted back to the Top division. So early 70's.

As we are away to Barnsley on Tuesday is this a six pointer ?

Not the best performance but 3 points all the same.

There are only three teams that I have'nt seen relegated, Liverpool, Arsenal and Everton. Could this be the year that Everton drop or more likely Brentford ? If I was a betting man I know where my money would be.

According to some on here, all you have to do is shake a tree and a billionaire sheik will drop out and splash hundreds of millions over us.

A couple of mini buses would do.

According to Sky, its listed as on Red button, 1 o'clock kick off.

I was in hospital, having had my appendices out, listening on hospital radio. I remember the hospital broadcast 'wooden shed in the back of the open end.

Happy Birthday and a great day. I was there too.

Pulis ?

Hissing Sid ?

There is the possibility that whilst Santa parked his sleigh in the Falklands ,to deliver pressies, a number of penguins stowed away and popped out when Santa arrived back home. Being a nice old chap he would have put them to work in his work shops.

West Brom away the season we got promoted to the top flight. Gerry Sweeny scored in the first minute or two. We then spent the rest of the game being bombarded by them. What a night. The minutes dragged by. Near the end of the season, a Very important 1-0 win on our way up.

Wait for the ' 10,000 locked out' today quote.

Considering how bad the ref was,why do officials get such an easy ride from our supporters ?

From todays match program..1984 the last game of the season, Chester away. "A 3,000 strong travelling Red Army saw Morgan put CITY ahead just just after the half hour." City were in the basement, not bad for Chester away in the basement league. I wonder how many other teams have equalled that.

I read that the entire Family Wealth was around 300 million US Dollars.At the time that Wally was touted as a zillionaire by gasheads on Utube. Wally was listed as running the Jordanian Travel company (travel agent). The brother that was involved with him is not a Football fan and had spoken about Wally as needing something to occupy himself with because he was'nt too bright. His was turned down when he approached Gillingham and one other club before the Gas begged him to take them on. At one time during Jordanian financial crisis quite a few million was lost by the family. If there has been any recovery it can't be worth billions.

1-3 swindle

Well who would have thought who'd score.

Bakinson sloppy play and lack of control.
