Toyed with this idea last season. Shall we have a thread to discuss, comment on, cover the rest of the league? A place to discuss other teams’ results, performances, financial implosions, etc?
For example, last night, anyone catch either of the first two games? I didn’t. But somewhat surprised/worried Blackburn scored 4 given how they are meant to struggle. Was it Derby being utter sh*te?
Sounds like Preston are continuing in the same vein of being incredibly dull.
Clive, what do you think? Worth making a sticky? Might reduce the number of threads to manage.

Don't mind this, like to see Manning get the Leicester/Southampton job and then Bristol City regress back down to fighting down the bottom with us. Its not a great squad, he's just done a great job in a piss weak league
I know they all want to play possession based but you are 2-0 down, 3 now and game going nowhere, maybe be a bit direct, put some pressure on them rather than pass triangles in your own half

What was the Sheffield player getting the strop on at the end for?

Still taking those poxy centre half goal kicks in that situation should be punishable by a sound beating. Which is exactly what they got.

It seems to be an English thing that we must keep doing the same thing. Arsenal last night deep in injury time, need 2 goals and wait for the long throw man to run to the other side of the pitch and throw it, just get on with the bloody thing

That's Pepball for you, you mustn't go against the rules. Russell Martin would be doing exactly the same most probably in this situation.

Rob Dickie classic. Gets caught wrong side and gets all handsie. Always done it. Got sent off at Barnsley v early on for us doing it. Definite pen, could perhaps have left him on but not much debate for me.
Definitely a red card and not even debatable. Frustrating for City as they were doing okay up until that point. Dickie also got sent-off v them were City were 1-0 up at home in the league.
City have done well to get to the play-offs, but they probably have two players who wouldn't be completely out of their depth in the PL - Jason Knight and Cam Pring. Manning has done well to get City to 6th, but insists on playing with the same set up even if he doesn't have players available who are comfortable in those positions. Going into the second leg 3-0 down and with no Pring, Dickie, Williams, or Sykes... it could be a long night.
My son is a lot less excited about Monday night than he was when I told him we had tickets on Wednesday! Eight hours on a coach, the chance to watch his team get smashed, and home at 1:30am. Good times - at least it's his fuc king club! He gets the afternoon off school, so there is that.
As for Sinclair Armstrong... fuc k my boots. I really have no idea what his qualities are. He's not even a nuisance to play against. I know it's difficult playing up front on your own, especially with 10 players, but the way he half-heartedly jogged about 'closing down' is an absolute joke.

Sky commentators as usual completely useless/thick with that red card incident; Goodman saying Dickie got a foot to the ball, well yes, only after dragging the bloke back!! Started to make me think maybe the red card was harsh but end of the day, he's the last man and denied a clear goalscoring opportunity!
Suppose they have Hinchcliffe lined up for tonight's game?

Yeh, even the fcking rabid enthusiasm seems to have gone out of Armstrong. He did at least used to charge around smashing people even when he wasn't offering anything else. Looks a bit bereft and fed up.
Dickie, stop the tape and let me know when it starts to look familiar...

Poor Konk Junior, welcome to the rest of your life.
Then again, if you could nick an early goal on Monday…
Exactly! Whether he supported my team or his local team, he's probably never gonna get to see his team win anything, so he might as well enjoy going to the football with his mates every week! And at least he was back home in bed ten minutes after the final whistle.
Walking to school this morning, I said, "mate, what about when my lot came back from 4-1 down to beat Juventus?" To which he replied, "Yeah, but you were at home and you didn't have Sinclair Armstrong up front". Which are fair points.

You’re right when you say he looks sad. He plays like a man whose cat’s gone missing. Unfortunately, whilst most fans will generally forgive a player for being sh it if they at least look to be working hard, poor old Armstrong just sort of ambles around at 8 mph, never getting closer than about 5-10 metres from the player he’s presumably closing down. Even though Wells is 34(?) he plays with so much more intensity than Armstrong and obviously offers much more chance of a goal, hence the forward who was supposed to be 3rd choice, starting every week. If you can't be good, at least be busy and make a nuisance of yourself.
Dickie has generally been very good for City, but he is super handsy in those situations. Surprised to see Manning calling the sending-off a disgrace after the game. Would have thought there was zero chance of it being overturned if they appeal it.

He sounds about 50 already, football does that to you.
