Would you have respected my post more had it been mis-spelled and grammatically poor?

That's pretty grim reading

If you're trying to sell your house, you don't crap on the doorstep before the viewings

Please don't say things like that out loud

Seriously - we binned a manager, rightly or wrongly, and appointed a risky replacement. Smarter people than me, the likes of @Davefevs - who is not prone to pulling triggers- are saying it's change time again. But change...to whom? Or what? Does Tinnion have to go, too?

We'd better pick up some points. There's a bunch of teams within a couple of results of our position, so we need points ASAP. Trouble is, as shown against Cardiff, we are poor when playing teams who obdurately defend from the first minute

I think Tommy missed Alex Scott a lot

I know, that was me as well

Back in the day, City had a terrible habit of appointing from within, without the person appointed having any real merit. "Jobs for the boys" - and it was obvious that some right rubbish got jobs, in all sorts of roles. Would Tinman (sadly) fall into that category? He did an amazing job with the academy. Maybe he needs a strong person to stand up to him, say...Gould.

Just to be clear, it's @Davefevs on the pod, not one of the other 42,784 Daves that go on City pods? And is that rude Ian fellow on again?

I'm amazingly superstitious about football*, so never look at the score until the game's over. Last night I clicked on to the Beeb at 10, assuming the game would be done. Ipswich immediately scored. Sorry, this used to happen a lot under GJ as well. *and yet a staunch atheist, go figure

Curses.

He scored again yesterday, guess what he did... I've got a degree in Economics, do you think they'd give me the job?

Nigel Pearson as DoF?

My mistake, I thought it was you! #Clueless EDIT: Just seen it was 'Dave P'. Too many Daves...

I never thought I'd see the day when @Davefevs got angry. Still, at least I know what he looks like now!

One does wonder about the players, let's be honest - they're NP's team. BUT...I couldn't understand why Sykes was kept on the left, he did nothing, nothing at all. When Mehmeti came on, why did he play on the right, and not swap with Sykes?

Sadly, it's not that simple, for all his faults I imagine Steve L wants to sell to someone who will care for the club, there have been so many examples of that not happening - including to our opponents, yesterday, whose owner changed their colours, FFS. With regard to the footballing side, I made a rare foray to AG yesterday with the boy, who also came to the Watford (A) game. Now, he's not a City fan (don't ask), but after the match, he asked "Why didn't Pring play?", having seen Cam destroy Watford. And you have to ask, where was the invention, the flair, the risk taking? All gone. It was a horrible performance, taking nothing away from Cardiff who did a solid job, and rarely looked troubled.

Spineless and clueless

Not in the bl00dy forecast I read, useless soothsayers

Wow, it must be amazing to be as heroic as you. I am in awe, you brave hero. PS "its"

OK ta, I'm looking to scout out BS3 anyway as a possible place to live, so this gives me an excuse!

Quick refresher of this topic - regarding on street parking, how far in advance do you need to arrive? I'm coming down with the boy at the weekend, as luck would have it heading to Cardiff after to drop him back at uni

Wow, 9 pages about a one-off jersey. We didn't get that for the special jerseys used in the FL trophy finals vs Mansfield and Stoke, did we?

So, lots of skiers here! I'm off to Bourg d'Oisans, BTW (near Alpe d'Huez)
