Pie Eater Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Hi I just stumbled across this. I think it confirms (like we didnt already know) that Trundle future is over at the gate.

Robbored Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Hi I just stumbled across this. I think it confirms (like we didnt already know) that Trundle future is over at the gate. BBc interview sorry if it has already been posted. Fair play to Trundle. He could have come out and slagged off Gary Johnson but he kept his views to himself. Interesting to hear him say ' if its not going well after 45 mins you know that theres a chance that you'll get took off, and thats not a nice feeling'. Obviously Johnsons man management skills didn't work with Trundle. I hope he does well again at Swansea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antman Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 good interview, he knows its over here as we all do too. Sounds like he really didn't like it here, the threat of being subbed after 45 minutes if he didn't do well playing on his mind. I would intepret that as him not really coping with not being No 1 choice game in game out. which in my mind is what he should expect. reputation doesn't/shouldn't guarantee a place. (yes, I know) interesting then his point about 'competition being good' at swansea, its the same thing, here or there Lee!, lets not forget he didn't cut it at Leeds either and it's not a given that he will back at Swansea. anyhow, good luck to him, its good to get the situation resolved.

grove park city Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Good luck Lee thanks for the entertainment especially the Palace and Birmingham City goals, plus your stint on the wing made a far less talented Sproule look like the sham he actually is .

Sproule isn't the most gifted or intelligent footballer at City but to label him a 'sham' is very harsh.Very few players deserve that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

numbeast Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 It's a shame LT hasn't worked out as we would have like him to. I think there are several factors in this, he came to the Championship to late, GJ bought the wrong player for his system, to much of a luxuary player and I think the expectations of his £1M price tag and reputed £10k a week didn't help. Saying that I loved some of his cameo performances and wish the man well just a case of the wrong timing for LT and BCFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man In Black Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 That was, you know, a really informative, you know, interview. It's always, you know, good to hear a, you know, player giving, you know, frank responses. Where do all footballers pick up this "y'know" thing?

Portland Bill Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 What stood out for me when watching that, is how mucher trimmer and fitter he looks. Good luck to the bloke, dont think he ever really felt at "home" here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
croax Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Don't forget those two goals against S****horpe in our first season back up here. Gifted player but wasted imo. Would have liked to seen him out wide on the left more. Certainly had the ability to deliver a good ball also believe he played some of his best stuff out wide but there we go..

To me, he might just as well come out and said "My heart was never in it at Bristol" which, for those who haven't watched the interview, is what he constantly refers to Bristol CITY as, that in itself is an insult to the club where he has spent the last 2 years. I wont miss him, Bristol City won't miss him, just wish Swansea were paying all his wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(... he came here to do a job, it didnt go to plan for him or for us, these things happen, & his spiritual home was & always wouldve been at Swansea, (just like our Scotty at Reading) - but given the opportunity while playing with us against the Swans he would have put the ball in their net just as eagerly as any striker would.. (Scotty wouldve done the same had he been playing for Reading against us (Bristol) .. oops sorry (City) .. you know what I mean..) (B) ... OK , but he was playing in Bristol wasnt he?.. (City) .. it wasnt Manchester, or Glasgow.. now he's back at Swansea (City).... everyone knows he wasnt referring to Rovers, (dont they?)... INSULT? - My Arse!! (blimey, I hope Rooney clarifies his meaning if he ever refers to Manchester without adding Utd everytime he mentions something!..) Agree its a pity we, Bristol,.. (oops, my bad, 'City') ...still have to pay up while he's out on 'loan' - but there it is, thats life. Also, although things regrettably didnt work out for Trunds - (clarify -thats Lee Trundle) & Bristol 'CITY' the general respect & lack of any real animosity between our supporters & Truds kinda speaks for itself really...

Thanks for setting me straight though. :noexpression: ...f *** me, spell it out or what? ... ( erm, :noexpression: ) No course I didnt think he meant anything other than Bristol CITY (football club) , neither did you or anyone else, that was my point. I just cant understand why 'some' people ALWAYS feel the need to point out EVERYTIME someone refers to us as 'Bristol' that they should've added the 'CITY' as well... Why people feel that its some kind of INSULT is pedantic & frankly laughable.. (imo). Generally, when obviously talking about Bristol City related stuff -does it matter? - ie; if I were to mention GJ (thats Gary Johnson btw) on here or just use the first name Gary .. is that an insult of some kind?.. its pretty obvious who we're talking about, & thats all that matters. (however, COLIN @ Crystal Phallus ... thats an insult - but a bloody good & well deserved one, ..fully intended as derogatory.

So in Bristol theres no ambiguity - whereas in Manchester/Glasgow there would be. Course, it maybe matters to that minor league outfit up at Horfield when someone mentions Bristol & the Memorial ..erm.. 'Stadium' in the same breath, cos they get all excited -only to discover that the speaker is referring to Rugby.. now thats a problem that we, as a serious force in British football have dont have .

It wouldn't bother me in the slightest if if was some halfwit like Claridge calling us Bristol, like you say it happens all the time. But an employee of the football club should know better in my opinion. Having said that, would I be crying blue murder if one of our players who didn't cost us a million quid and christ knows how much in wages, only to do bugger all except get fat over the summer, called us Bristol? probably not.

Cardy Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 What are some of you on about - 'Good luck Lee" this and "Good luck Lee" that!!!!! Lets face facts - this bloke cost us an absolute fortune and apart from 2 goals against S****horpe, a second half performance against Plymouth and 'that' Playoff goal, what exactly did he do?? NOT A LOT CONSIDERING HE WAS ON MEGA BUCKS. He couldn't even be bothered to get himself fit for the new season by following the summer training/diet plan he was set by the club. Lee Trundle thought he was bigger than Bristol City in the end, particularly in his flashy Bentley - I really hope for his sake he doesn't come back here in Jan given that he has now declared his undying love for Swanea (yet again!!). He so obviously loves being the centre of attention and if those Jack muppets want to idolise him then let them get on with it - they deserve each other. On a positive note, atleast this whole episode shows how we have progressed as a club in the last couple of years and if Swansea are relying on Lee Trundle to save them then they are doomed.

I used to get annoyed when we were refered to as Bristol as well, then I realised it just implies that the Gas doesn't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Robin Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 I'd like to see the best Trundle playing for us like he did in his 1st year at AG (a few matches,but doing well)...but if it is not possible ,for 'footballing reasons' or 'bad feelings' , the better choice is letting him go to Swansea,even if the club can't obtain the same money he costed when he arrived in Bristol. And maybe at his 'home' he will perform well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
