Bristol City thread

[JJH]

Both were in championship level in 1990/91 cos we got 10/12 points

Mate I said at least if they come up which they could've done if they'd kept Taylor given the defensive signings they made that it would've at least gave us two very entertaining games.

It won't be the same in L1, it really is an awful league. I'm dreading it.

 

[Walkley_Owl]

League one is the natural level of both clubs......

This shows that City's average finish is 8th bottom in the Championship and ours is 9th in League One.
It's inaccurate, though, as it was made almost 2 years ago. City are currently below their average finish and we are one place above.

 

[Ciderhead]

That's about what I'd have guessed. We've basically been a yo-yo club through most of history, big fish in the 3rd tier and generally struggled up here. Our 12th place finish when we went down last time was our lowest in 30 years, and that was only when we did a Portsmouth

I still don't quite believe that City will go down. Still a squad with talent and Tammy to come back in.

I never quite believed that Taylor would start for you but with Abraham out, I can't believe he's not been given more game time. Baffling.

IF you guys go down, you need to sack your marketing guy and seriously rethink the Bristol Sport model. Both the rugby going down and you with the whole #welcometobristol and #makingbristolproud will give us Colin Daniel level ammunition

Taylor should be starting, you can see why he scored so many for you with the positions he gets in, and he's scored twice but only started twice.

I really rate him, should play on Tuesday, Johnson's an idiot though and he'll probably play Tomlin then.

Tomlin situation reminds me so much of us when we got O'Toole. Focused on signing him so much and building the team around him, not realising that a poor attitude and a there being a reason why he was being let go in the first place wasn't really the ideal person to build a squad around. We went down, do city have enough to avoid the same fate

 

[.V.]

But you've only existed for 35 years, meaning you have also.

And still done more than your lot have done in the last 100 years.

 

[Walkley_Owl]

Neither have won a major trophy so I'd probably shut the fuck up.

 

[JJH]

You were told V, by Sir Walkley Owl; chief operator of the MASSIF brigade.

So tinpot.

Believe it Miagsy, if SL doesn't remove the most useless, inept, bullshitting and just plain shit coach in out history, we ARE going down.
The rest of your post could have been written by a City fan, we all know that, it's just our 'head coach' that doesn't.
'Baffling' is not how I would describe it.

 

[SUTSS]

You'll win on Tuesday.

 

[hodge]

Jase said the same...

 

[Aaron-Bcfc]

You'll win on Tuesday.

Ah, Norwich. Another set of depressed fans who aren't actually that bad (you're 8th, for fuck sake) who are completely and utterly convinced will lose to us, until they actually play us, win comfortably and then it's all "And I thought we were bad! etc etc etc".

A draw is the best we can hope for.

2 Johnstone Paint Trophies.

We're massif

 

[Ciderhead]

We've actually won 3. That's more than any other club in the history of English football. We're fucking enormous.

And we'll make it 4 next season

 

[BCFC David]

I'm not going again until Johnson's gone. Never felt so disconnected from my club.

The thought of league one football is sickening.

We're 8th because we win our home games. If you were coming here I'm confident we'd beat you 3-0. However away and we really are poor. Our last 10 away games:

Brighton 5-0 Norwich
QPR 2-1 Norwich
Derby 1-0 Norwich
Barnsley 2-1 Norwich
Reading 3-1 Norwich
Brentford 0-0 Norwich
Rotherham 2-1 Norwich
Cardiff 0-1 Norwich
Burton Albion 2-1 Norwich
Sheff Wed 5-1 Norwich

Only Rotherham have let in more away from home than we have. If Rotherham and Burton can beat us without breaking much of a sweat you have a pretty decent chance.

 

[Ciderup]

Don't be silly, you will tear us apart. If you somehow contrive to lose to us, you have major problems.
The only 'win' I want is the useless prick of a head coach removed, he's fooking shite!
Fill your boots tomorrow night, you'll win easily.

 

[hodge]

Make of it what you like but heard today there is a clause in Johnson's contract where if we're in the bottom 3 his contract can be terminated without compensation due.

Why on fooking earth is he still in the job then fella?
SL should have been waiting in the tunnel on Saturday with the useless twats P45.

I read that, but he'd have gone by now if that was true.

 

[hodge]

Just passing on what I got told at uni today, not sure whether the guys read it but they're not City fans and may have heard it from better places.

Just like I heard bogetta don drinks milk that isn't 2 years out of date, rumours, all rumours

 

[JJH]

Pembo confirmed sacked. Lol.

 

[hodge]

Where have you seen that?

 

[JJH]

Where have you seen that?

On his twitter.

Was told yesterday but just chose to ignore it because I thought surely he wouldn't sack Pemberton ahead of the other two, but I guess nothing fails to amaze with this shitshack of a club.

 

[hodge]

Yeah just seen he's deleted it, presumably has to wait for club to announce it, the other two can't be far behind.
