For some strange reason...

Post by CoolClaret » Mon Apr 28, 2025 3:49 pm

For some strange reason, I keep saying "alright my loverr" and "gert lush," started banging on about Banksy, instinctively hate Bristol Rovers, suggest want to take a trip to the Clifton Suspension Bridge, and genuinely believe cider is better hydration than water....

Anyone else?

Come on you Robins!

Should be a fair game tonight, I think both sides will be going for it, Leeds cos they want to be champs, of course
and BC to secure their playoff place.
So for that reason, they'll both be pushing to get things done.

If either were to lose, they've only got one more chance to put things right.

So come on Brizzle!!

It’s a shame so many of the play-off contenders lost on Saturday as it means Bristol can afford to lose this game.

Sleeping giants are Bristol City , over 700K population and desperate for success , I stayed there a couple of days ago , great place with loads of places to eat & drink , I don’t think that they will hold Leeds off tonight but will beat Preston at the weekend.

Another reason for wanting Bristol to win is we’ll have a promotion payment on Twine if they go up. Potentially one on them reaching the play offs as well.

For promotion to the Prem, I imagine we’ll have a 7 figure clause.

I’m thinking of omens. We had to beat Bristol City to guarantee a playoff spot under Coyle and then went on to beat Sheff Utd in the final. Come on Bristol!

1-0 Leeds.
There are only two really good teams in the Championship this season, Leeds and Burnley.

Sheffield United are decent, but the rest are very ordinary.

The rest of this league is utter dross. Bristol City are apparently the fifth best side but if you told me they were going down I wouldn't argue.

On the beach defending. It is strange, it is like no one wants to finish in the play offs this season. Rovers are the only team who look remotely interested. None of the teams in and around 5th and 6th look bothered at all.

Can't believe how poor they are, think they would just like to get back on the coach and head home.

It could be that, or it could just be that Bristol City are nowhere near as good as Leeds.

Leeds simply too good for Bristol. I'll be surprised if BC can even manage a shot on target, let alone equalise.

Leeds to win by 4 at least.

I know Leeds are very good but I haven't seen one Bristol City player who looks like they play for a team in the playoffs. They look really small, sluggish, terrible with the ball, worse without it.

He's a bit poor with the ball, but they need to get Sinclair Armstrong on because he can lead the line properly. Hopefully, he will win a few free kicks, and Twiney will do us a massive favour.

If it’s still 1-0 with 10 to go maybe there’ll be a sucker punch as nerves set in.
