havanatopia Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Folks, i did request a stand in today, namely Pegs and then Wendy, both having stepped in before as we know. Not a dickie bird of a reply. I suppose its lie in day after another hard slog beating off the other traffic, fighting for a multi storey car parking slot and dealing with the utter male moron at work or over the phone. I am incapacitated out in the boondocks unfortunately and my pen and paper did not make it into the rather slimsified shoulder or sling over bag; not even Lee would fit inside. Incapacitated only in as much as the signal, here in Siquijor, is sporadic ooh there back again. So I give the floor to everyone which makes it far more entertaining than my often diatribical windass effort. That sort of goal would do me today with Flint ever so slightly moving his sedere to allow the ball through unsighted.. A thing of beauty. Good day all. 6 Quote Link to comment
Tomo Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Pulis spoke highly of Bristol (and Rovers of course)...and acknowledged what SL has done, Whilst I have never liked the bloke or his style of football (since and after he was our manager), he showed alot of respect there, I don't think he is disliked as much as Holloway or Warnock but sure he will get some stick from our South Stand section - :laugh:! 2 Quote Link to comment
Son of Fred Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 (1). I'm gutted to be missing a lively game of football today... (2) as in way of balance I have a 'Corby Trouser Press in my hotel room.... COYR. 2 Quote Link to comment

Ah the old ' signal in Siquijor ' excuse , who hasn't pulled that one ? I fear a loss today if our back four aren't our first choice . We all know what to expect from a Pulis side , we need to be solid and creative. We have the tools to win it I'm actually going for another draw . 1-1 Weimann and an apologetic Flint . Sing up me babbers. Quote Link to comment
wendyredredrobin Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 With Fam still being suspended, we lack much of a goal threat and our central defensive injuries will make life difficult against a very good Boro side. That said, I shall be amongst the (hopefully) 20k plus crowd cheering the team on today. With 2 draws and a league cup loss to our name this season, it is time to step up now and show some fight and spirit. Quote Link to comment
pongo88 Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 @havanatopia - you’re incapacitated in Siquijor? I’ve never heard of this place so I did a quick Google. It looks like a very convenient place to be incapacitated 1 3 Quote Link to comment

RUSSEL85 Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Nice touch from Pulis there, can't say I've ever agreed with his management style but then again but he is one earning the big bucks and I'm sat behind a desk. Quote Link to comment

I hope he performs for me today. Mancrush not quite, I do adore the fact he's seemingly always smiling tho. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
Offside Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 If we are suffering with injuries in defence and with Diedhiou still out I think we might struggle today. Hopefully I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment
Selred Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Bringing my old housemate with me, who’s a Boro fan. This is the fourth time we’ve seen our teams play against each other, currently City have won all 3 previous. Guarenteed a win when he’s here, thank me later. If anyone wants to buy me a pint to say thank you I’ll be in the fan park from 1..... Quote Link to comment
Red Grovesy Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 The last time I didn't buy a season ticket was when Pulis was appointed manager. Couldn't stand the bloke, his Gas connection and style of football. However, I watched the Pulis interview (posted above) and found him honest (I think), interesting and respectful. Crazy since I have stopped watching the Johnson interviews towards the end of last season as I find them full of excuses, management speak and bull. Pulis will still get stick from me come 3pm. 3 Quote Link to comment

General Zod Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 I see Pulis still looks like he takes full advantage of his staff discount in the club shop. Any merchandise he doesn’t like to wear? 2 Quote Link to comment
