Matches towards the end of the season potentially more significant. Our play off push... And Villa and Newcastle away will be much more fun. I'm missing Villa at home too. Friend's birthday in London, organised BEFORE the fixtures came out. Couldn't really have said no either wat. This is why we should be able to sell our season tickets on for the matches we can't attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we've all started sobbing in our soup, I've got to miss the first game of the season, where we'll welcome our new band of conquering heroes, to go to someone else's wedding. If it was mine, I could skip it and catch the game but apparently I can't do that for someone else's. Life is so unfair..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SL openly admits that he only cares about Bristol Rugby, and sees the football club as an irksome distraction. After beating Wigan and Burnley, we then lose heavily to Norwich, Newcastle and Aston Villa, killing all of our optimism. Matthews plays like Tony Dinning mark 11. JK sulks about not moving to his beloved Villa, and only scores once all season. City slump to the bottom of the table by Christmas. LJ is sacked at the end of December.

Maybe, but you can't let your mother in law call the shots, especially when you know she detests you. Spoons should decline and sweeten the pill for his family by booking a holiday of his choosing at a time that suits him instead. With no invitation for his overbearing scowling mother in law, of course. A forced holiday with the Mother in law and missing 2 top notch City matches in to the bargain, what could be worse?

It was all going well, momentum from last season still being carried, great football being played, fans were loud... and then Freeman gets sent off. Expecting something similar against Wigan, possibly ROD taking down a man in the box. Red. Pen. See you later 16/17 season. I thought the rules had changed, in that if a penalty is awarded, then no red card? So season 16/17 back on track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
