The phrase 'Ship Shape and Bristol Fashion' relates to Bristol's high tidal range. Ships moored in the harbour would be aground at low tide and, because of their keels, would fall to one side.

Fabulous day that. At 5-4 up I knew the madness wasn’t over!

 

Pfft, that's why only idiots and nags gain employment.

 

Another challenging game, Nigel seems to have got them playing well. Big day for Liam, his first club and then Nigel signing him for us, so a few emotions floating around. Interesting to see Traore in the squad finally, let's hope he can get on for 20 minutes. Anything from the game will be welcome, though I would dearly love to beat them after the rogering we got there last season.

 

Morning guys interesting log from DMD above even me living in Bristol for 59 years learnt a thing or two.

Never forgive you for the wonder goal at Wembley -i was right in line with DW when it came to him and as soon as he hit it i said before it hit the net it was going in

All i wanted was to get back on the train-Wembley is no place for the losers.

Anyway back to tomorrow we are unbeaten in Eleven-Nige has got us playing some cracking football-quick pacey and fast.
He came in to the club which has been underperforming for years since the playoff final against Hull.Has taken him 2 years to sort the football club out and mould it to where it is today.Next year apparantly is the year he wants a promotion push-this year we could still hit the playoffs if we keep going as we are now-however it could be a tad late.

Came to yours a few years back when we had small chance off sneaking into the playoffs i think you beat us 2-1. Anyway have a good journey down to those coming and may the best team win-over on our board the majority have us down for a home win.

Then we have a sellout against Man City in the cup on Tuesday night.

 

Im staying in premier inn on harbour side,any decent pubs for away fans round there mate? Cheers

 

Blimy take your pick-many and plenty off eating places as well-

 

Thanks.....looking forward to it....!!!!

 

Why would pubs have to be for,away fans round there? Pubs are for everyone except round a stadium. Plenty of good pubs and places to eat in Bristol, far more than Hull. The areas around the water are a lot better put to use as well. Some rough areas like every other city but where you are staying you won’t be going near them.

 

Bristol City haven't been awarded a penalty since Nov 2021. You know what happens next...

UTT!

edit: I'm wrong, they got one last week.

 

Shouldn’t laugh but loved the last bit.

 

They got one last game didn't they?

 

If its taken him 2 years to get to mid table then his recruitment must've been even more naive than ours. Success should be instant if you get your recruitment right, don't you know?

The thing or two you think you've learnt will probably be bogus, as per normal.
