weepywall Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 So next Saturday sees our friends from over the bridge visiting. Identical current form over the last 6 although they are on minus 5 gd and we are on 0 gd. Big game this..if we roll over and lose this one things could turn a little nasty towards Manning and those above I feel. Need a positive performance and result. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezo Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 Yep, there is no good will left for the hierarchy except from the most happy clapping fans so things will get ugly if we lose to Cardiff for sure. 15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Balls Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 7 minutes ago, Jose said: Yep. Always better to just pretend everything is rosie. But this comes back to low expectations generally. “We want promotion” is akin to most of us “wanting a nice life”. It’s a vague ambition rather than being something that is demanded and supported financially. The owners actually don’t want the boat rocked. They would quite like success in terms of promotion, but only on their terms. Which means no challenge to the hierarchy. Fortunately for them, they have such a passive set of supporters, used to decades of under achievement and disappointment, that they can get away with it! That said, lose the next 3 games, which is entirely possible, and by the time of the home game against Leicester, those attending Ashton Gate might be more vocal in their disapproval. But then again maybe not… 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think that because somebody might not want to be around a toxic negative atmosphere that it automatically makes them a happy clapper. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 ST holder. Do I go to the match, leaving home just after breakfast? Watching a dull game that will probably end in humiliating defeat? Or stay here, start the evenings bolognese, and get on with plenty of other things like gardening, laying paving slabs in back garden, track-laying on my latest model railway? What should I do? Advice please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go, we'll lose a boring match to a late own goal and, if you don't go, you'll miss a stunning 7-1 Bristol City victory.... 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can take losing, we all can we are City fans after all but it’s the manner of the defeats that are so galling. Our team looks disinterested and is clearly not playing for the manager. Watch Mannings manner on the defeat yesterday he already looks broken. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelksRed Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 1 hour ago, Whitchurch said: It never gets “toxic” at ashton gate anymore The crowd have become too engrossed in their phones to actually look up and watch the dross that is dished up. I am a season ticket in the Dolman....very rarely walk away content with the performance. The inconsistency genuinely ruins my weekend each week. It's the audacity that the players also walk around clapping after a crap performance..... Rant over....off for a tea and biscuit(s) to calm down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but you're using an example of a game where we were drawing 2-2. Granted, we had just conceded two quick goals in succession having been 2-up but I'm still not sure you can call drawing 2-2 at home "not competing".

Advice please. Get a slow cooker, sir. First thing in the morning, brown some chicken breasts, sweat some onions, add some other stuff like carrots, celery and so on, a slosh of red wine, a bit of stock, a bit that, transfer to said cooker, set on "low" and set off for the match. Return to tender coq au van, pour a large slosh in a glass of van der rouge and tune into otib, delicious. Mmmmm 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to be more fun than Manningball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sold out away end (2,500 or 3,400?) …… after that debacle yesterday, Manning and the players simply need to put on a Southampton-standard performance Edited February 25 by Loosey Boy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
