bexhill reds Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 It’s a city and club with facilities that surely deserves to have premiership football…. And I’ll have a couple of quid on a least one reference to Hull and Dean Windass. I’ll take any cliche so long as they don’t use “plucky” in front of our name, more patronising than anything else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past he’s said he wouldn’t do City if they got to the Premier League but may consider doing an FA cup tie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curr Avon Posted January 15 Author Report Share Posted January 15 (Jonathan Pearce. Not a cliche, but probably true) When my team Bristol City last beat West Ham on 11th February 1978 at Upton Park, with goals from Joe Royle and Jimmy Mann, I was at the game with my Dad filming the action. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazooka Joe Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 " Welcome to the home of "Front Foot Football." We'll be meeting Chairman Jon Lansdown whose colourful sketches art connoisseurs have considered to be as good as those of primary school children. And a bit later we'll be talking to football supremo Brian Tinnion, about the way he sneakily attained a position way above his level of competence, and his latest controversial publication "Oven-Ready Top Six Squad." But let's begin by asking self-professed billionaire, don't care, Steve Lansdown, this question "Mr Lansdown, can you tell the viewers how you have managed to foster such a close bond and relationship with the club's incredible supporters, and the way that your much-heralded communications strategy has led to such unprecedented levels of trust, openness and transparency" "But before you, the sprog or Bunion say anything. let's welcome our surprise special guest into the studio . . . . a man much-loved and admired by fans of this club . . . your friend and mine, Mr Nigel Pearson !" 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
