To suggest it's just the part time fans who are fed up is just plain wrong. My Dad has had his season ticket since the early 90s. Always renewed without question, never missed a game, never leaves early no matter what and he is that fed up he isn't bothering on Wednesday. No problem with that at al...

I just don't get it. Why bother turning up to moan for an afternoon? Even if you have "paid your money" it is a pretty bizarre way to spend your time. Shouting at managers and players isn't going to improve their performance nor do anything for your blood pressure. it certainly isn't going to encour...

Couldn't agree more. Just hope that those who want him out never, ever complain when a successful manager walks out on us. Loyalty works both ways in good times and bad. You've got to look at the project. You've also got to look at the alternatives (and I can't see any obvious ones). Boring it may b...

Brady would have been subbed after 20 minutes by most aspiring pub team managers. Depends what that pub team manager was looking at. Yup, Brady was pants but if we're going to get out of this hole, then he is one of the few players in this team who are capable of the creative spark we need. He (and...

He sounds plausible and I quite like his manners. Fortunately, he dresses as a pantomime villain and has a haircut favoured by a few of the nasties from the 30s which gives the game away before you get seduced by his delivery.

PL is crap if i'm being honest, 6 teams trying to squeeze into 4 places and 16 teams trying to avoid relegation. Take away the money and it's the most uninteresting league in the world Each to their own. We may be having a difficult start to the season, but to slam our club and then go on and slam ...

Being far too young for Colin McDonald, I just hit the google button. I happened upon a Lancashire Telegraph article - "vote for your keeper in the Hall of Fame". Just to show how blessed we are now, the candidates to accompany Blacklaw & McDonald were... Beresford, Jenson & Stevenson.

Just listened to a 5 live podcast - “anatomy of a fast bowler” - fascinating interview with Jimmy. And there I was thinking all you had to do was chuck a pie on off stump

Lordlucan

Worked out kind of perfectly. He knows he can get to the England team playing with us. He knows as well that he has to improve. Could spur him on to some great performances for us.

Some funny old comments on here. Perhaps I'm an old f**t who has been gone from lancashire for too long, but to say that no one cared about lancashire league, never mind county cricket when I was a kid would have been bizarre. Down here in Zomerset, cricket is far from a minority sport. And then the...

He’s been brilliant in the European ties but you have him facing anyone with any pace and he will collect yellow cards like figarini panini stickers. Horses for courses

It could just be that they are reporting that companies are reporting a skills shortage?

I presume you are also of the view that the BFC chairman has an anti Brexit agenda?

Lordlucan

All this does confirm is that no one really knew what they were voting for, not the politicians, not the punters. Left and right is an irrelevance in this one (more's the pity). Perhaps we should have a second referendum, limited to questions of how soft a Brexit we're going to have (given we're hav...

England always seem to play better in tournaments on the BBC (although I’ve no stats to back that up) so I’m relieved the Sweden match is on the Beeb! You're right - there was a piece in the Grauniad yesterday about it - our playing record live on BBC, about 50% win ratio, that on ITV way below. Al...

Lovely article, even for those too young to have seen him Now I don't want to sound anything other than a loyal claret but Stevenson in the top few in recent years? Um.

I think its naive to expect that you'll keep getting better, and Europa, starting the season early will take a toll on the players. We may not get better but relegated? Really? How does the club become a shambles and leaderless with the personnel we have? A few years ago I'd never have thought I'd ...

best bit of this is the size of the bid. Makes WBA look a bit silly if they're after 20 m for Jay

Not surprising Wolves is a constant mention - just looked it up- we lost 11 on the trot from 1987!

Fo me, Thinking through this thread has just reinforced the achievements of the last 10 odd years. We’ve sorted all the clubs out above and I don’t really care who bowls up, apart from Arsenal in injury time

Living down in sleepy Somerzzet, I'm surrounded by CIty fans who are genuinely gutted at this. Looks to me to have everything to be a very effective wing back. Bobby Reid will also go if a prem team comes in for him - swap him with Wells?

I know - but may make sense if Charlie Taylor is being groomed for CB.

Joe Bryan of Bristol City. A few whispers doing the rounds in Somerzzzzzzet

Lordlucan

I know it will be that goal at Ewood that he is remembered for but another one that put a big smile on my face was that curler at Brentford, following the lay off by Andre Gray.

Good luck to him and a massive thanks

Lordlucan

This guy is quality and would add to our squad. Does seem as if Charlie Taylor is being groomed for CB - from what I’ve seen his defensive work has been much better than his offensive I’d be staggered if we got Bryan for 6 million. City are run by one of the top brokers in the country. If I’m wrong ...

Just what has any of this got to do with our club? One of the great changes at Bfc over the last 20 years - maybe since Ian Wright - has been the decrease in chanting that could give us the label of casual or actual racists.

I really don’t get the hostility. He has always stood up for what he believes in. No one is any doubt as to his position. He is loyal to those around him and he was a success in his field.

Not being able to get to the Turf on Thursday, I was checking on TV coverage. I have a choice - Clarets v Chelsea or Rovers v Peterborough. Now that sums things up nicely!

Good luck. Just to give you some idea - my 1/2 times are sub 1.40 and 10k times about 43 mins, so pretty close to yours.

Can't believe the negativity on this thread. Our form may not look good but you've got to look at who we've played and how many have been out in that run.

A home game against a relegation threatened side just before people decide whether or not to renew Season Tickets is the perfect time to put in a good entertaining performance.
