Dave Youell Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Just goes to show how much depth we have in the current squad right now, which is only a good thing in my mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Boy Posted September 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Bristol City v Bristol City....now that sounds like a mouthwatering match. Bound to be a sell out! :noexpression:Just had a word with Colin and unfortneately it'll only be 19,500..Segregation, although the EE will be open to City fans only, not City fans because you know that lot, chavs to a man and they can't behave themselves like people do at the theatre.Having said that at £60 a ticket we may not sell out-That's £30 POD plus interest, credit card surcharge and booking fee..........it does however include free parking that was previously free but they're still doing us a big favour by providing it and don't you forget it sunshine. :coat: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 When you look at the those two teams you have to say that there is not much between them.Both sets of 11 would be capable of playing against any of the CCC sides without looking under strength.Just goes to show how much depth there is at City.

havanatopia Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 They should organise a 'friendly' Just to add that Jevo would definately be in my starting 11 of one of those teams.. IMO playing alongside Trundle.. they work very well together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meh Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 i wish you would, for good.What an utter #### thing to say. I don't read half of what Bristol Boy posts, cos, I just can't be arsed, but, at least most of the time he makes sense.You contribute about the same as me in truth, which, quite frankly is jack-all so if there are any posters that should be disappearing to improve this forum, you, like me are certainly well in that arena.Your ego is writing cheques your body can't cash Maverick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exiledinwatford Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Imagine them all lined up. The two captains toss a coin - Carey wins and takes first pick. Who does he pick? Clue His name is Marvin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin would be my first pick anyway. I'm tempted to ask who would yours be if you were the other captain but 22 posts later that would go on all night!

WesM Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 mccombe wont just walk back into the side as i thought he would.I think he will. If anything, GJ has proved with Basso that he has no problems replacing this years performers with the stalwarts of last years promotion winning backbone.I think McCombe will be back in as soon as he's fit, regardless of how well Fontaine plays.

Marvin would be my first pick anyway. I'm tempted to ask who would yours be if you were the other captain but 22 posts later that would go on all night!For me a team unit needs a spine.Even great teams and managers need that-For example, take Chelsea & MourihnoCech, Terry, Lampard, Drogba-providing the other players are even half decent, you're not going to lose many with that lot.City:Basso-Carey-Elliott-Trundle........not even in the same League, but coming along nicely.Elliott has, without doubt been the most consistently impressive of our signings so far-however, he needs to improve his game away from home and whether that's in a change of formation or with a change of partner, remains to be seen.

Given Fontaine's form this season i think it will be unfair on him to drop him because McCombe has come back from injury. Especially seeing how Fontaine is going to be fresh after the 2 week break. McCombe will play this season but i don't think he will walk straigh back into the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clue His name is Marvin!Actually wouldn't the coin get tossed and catch Brook's in the eye so he would have to go off and then Nobe's would bend down to pick it up and do his groin again?
