Bristol City - the most mid-table club ever?

Alfie does some great videos. His one the other day which on the surface was about a football stadium that's never been built in Lithuania, but in reality the video was about Lithuania's political history for the last 30 years. 

Highly recommended, he does some cracking stuff, he has good insight and is fair

I think this pretty much sums everything up. We just accept the mediocrity and start again in August. The blame firmly sits with the owners. Fed up like many people. Solution, not an easy one as no foreign investor will want to buy Bristol Sport. It's hard enough finding investors for a football club!

The solution is to withhold your money. 

Painful. But not as painful as being taken for an idiot.

Have a mate who supports Newcastle. Texted me today as it's 14 years since Bristol City 2-2 Newcastle (Maynard screamer). I had a look at the BBC match report from the time: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_1/8572371.stm

And I had a look at the table:

We're 1 point better off today, and 2 places better off. Some progress in 14 years. So depressing.

Just looking at Scunthorpe there is a real reminder of how bad things have been for others

Every time I get frustrated and upset about our lack of progress up the leagues, I remind myself that the ‘norm’ for many years for me was to watch us bumping along in the old Div 3 season after season, playing the likes of Grimsby, Tranmere or Mansfield on a wet weeknight. 
The weather hasn’t improved much, but our league average attainment thankfully has. 

Was the football perhaps more entertaining though? That feels important to me.

Oh, the grand old Duke of Guernsey,

he had 20,000 men ( and women)

he marched them up near the top of the league

and marched them down again,

and when they were up, they weren't quite up

and when they were down, they weren't quite  down

and when they were only halfway up they were neither up or down and that's were they stayed.

Class downend, wasted as a supporter, poet laureate at least 😃

I wandered lonely as a cloud

that floats on high o'er vale and hills

when all at once I saw a crowd,

a host of golden daffodils

beside the lake beneath the trees

when an angry man came running towards me

shouting " oi you, get out of my bloody garden!"

I am a mystery fellow
I’m Fred Fernakapan
I wear one sock that’s yellow
The other dipped in jam

I walk about the countryside
I walk about the town
Sometimes with my trousers up
And sometimes with them down

And when they were up they were up
And when they were down they were down
And when they were only half way up
I was arrested

Look on the bright side 👍 

Constant midtable = no major fear of relegation for us fans.

No need to pay out bonusses and increased salaries if we were promoted for the board to consider.

We might not be too happy, but we remain what Rovers would like to be.

 

Not a dig at you personally mate, but i hear a lot of fans who seem happy just to be doing better than rovers.

That's a depressing benchmark, as being better than a shite team, can still mean that you're shite
