My God, the World really is coming to end. Page 7 of the Bristol City thread and I've got a Chief Scientific Advisor, a chadbot, and ......fucking Donald Trump! Now, as much as some of us are losing confidence in certain players in the squad, I'm not convinced either of those 3 are adequate replacements. (Altho I'm willing to consider arguments for BB ?) Have all the mods got coronavirus already?! ?

Bristol City we've beaten 1 in last 6 attempts. Wigan we've beaten 1 in last 5 attempts. Barnsley we've beaten 1 in last 4 attempts. Out of 15 matches against that opposition we've won 3 times. (20% wins) Bear in mind 2 of the matches are away, and Wigan are currently 3rd in the form table and unbeaten in 6. Suddenly, your confidence starts to look misplaced. Although I would love you to be proved right.

Good feet for what? Toe wrestling? Sock modeling? They certainly don't look too good when a football comes near them.

I remember that. Don't worry, I don't think you're losing your mind...........yet! ? But DE's right, there's nothing getting hidden from you on both occasions, we will always say if we have. You just seem pretty unlucky with glitches. You been kicking black cats?!

"Success" and "failure" are such absolute words to use in the Championship. Yes, we all know promotion is the aim of pretty much every club in the league. But using those words as barometers, you would have 3 successful managers each season and 21 "failures" every year. Seems harsh to call 21 managers failures after being in what many argue is the most competitive league in the World, top to bottom. I know one thing, if we do have some money to spend in the summer, conversations with potential players should be much easier having finished in the Top 8 than they would have been last year after finishing 15th. Players want to join clubs they think are going somewhere and have a chance of success. Also, (barring spawny gits Huddersfield), very few clubs suddenly fire themselves up from the bottom half of the Championship to promotion. Most do it by having 2 or 3 seasons up there in the mix ( oh yes, I went there ?) and then eventually make the leap. If this is the 1st of our spell of seasons up there competing, I'll take it for now. Bearing in mind the last time we even finished top half of the table was 5 years ago, and we finished that season a massive 11 pts behind 6th. Not like we've been knocking on the door recently.

Totally agree, crap for the fans going. And UK would be sensible option, 2 British belt holders and all that. But now the middle middle east has their claws in Hearn, I can't see many big fights at Heavyweight happening here. It'll be Saudi for the blood money or Vegas......cos it's Vegas. I'm not a fight going fan, never been to a bout, more an armchair fan. So it's Saudi for me all day long I'm ashamed to say, merely for convenience to my lifestyle. On another note my pal from work did go on Saturday. What a great time he had. Came back with a signed glove and picture with Tyson.........Mike that is.

If it goes ahead it will definitely be Saudi. And whilst I understand people's issue with supporting such a regime, for purely selfish reasons, it will be great to have a big bout on about 10pm on a Sat night. We're starved of it over here.

Don't know how anyone thinks ours wasn't a pen. If it had just been the body check then fair enough, that's momentum and a clash. But he grabs him round the neck and hauls him down. You touch attackers by the head that aggressively and it's a stonewall pen every time. Theirs was the usual joke decision against us. Draw fair result though. We were lucky they didn't score another from open play.

Wow, just looked, didn't realise they were even out the playoff places. Good old Lambert sprinkling his magic pixie dust.

20th October 2018. We were the early kick off, 12pm against Leeds. Won 2-1. There were 3 or 4 teams that could overtake us in the 3pm's. Most of them failed, but Norwich won with an 84th min goal, so what's that? -about 4.40pm. We were in 6th place for appox 3 hours. They went 6th, we dropped to 7th never to be seen again. Norwich went on to win the league, we finished 15th.

One results in a throw in for the opposition, the other leads to a goal kick.

Chaddy, please knock it off. Match threads a day before a match are very much about team selection. Thus, the comparisons are relevant. We can't open a new thread for every little tangent. If you don't like the direction the conversation is going, then feel free to remove yourself from it.

Hi Everyone, If you want to respond to Miller11's post, please don't quote it. It's very long and detailed and clogs up the page, particularly on mobile. If you just write @Miller11 and then comment, serves the same purpose and helps keep the thread tidy. Thanks.

Scottish Football Association?! ? Suppose with Kean, Coyle, and Lambert in the conversation it's sort of relevant.

So, he's a part time genius is he?! Those must be the parts when he's not dealing with our club. Also, followed by Rich Sharpe, interesting.

I'm with you! Opening up at work Monday morning too so have to be in at 8am. Godamnit, why didn't I book the day off?! Looks set up for a real even game, that should go down to the last quarter. Enjoy. I hope Mahomes takes the trophy. Been the best QB throughout the season. And will be for years to come IMO.

Ooops, was just trying to lighten the mood. Can we park it for another time. In terms of transfers, nobody can call us spoilt or overreacting, entitled fans. This isn't just one window, it's pretty much 3 on the bounce with empty promises, false hope, and incompetent actions. And most importantly, a complete failure to even partially address the glaringly obvious deficiencies in the match day team. We've got every right to be thoroughly pissed off.

That surely can't be what's irking you most tonight.

Was he the one that broke B- Mac? That goal against Arsenal, beauty.

Seems like he's not!

Perhaps I was referring to the education system that installed such good morals. They not from Scotland, Connecticut? Oops, my bad. ?

Really?! If you can't beat em, join em. And we certainly can't beat em at the moment. I admire your principals, but the reality is they aren't gonna make 170 mill disappear, and they aren't gonna get us back playing in the Prem again.

News like that is just more frustrating. If that's the case why the hell don't they box a bit clever, and dodge something up to enable them to spend the money? Do a scam stadium sponsorship etc. Every other club seems to be doing it in the Championship. We're the only chumps sat on our hands. The only way for them to get some money, and respect, back is promotion. The only way to get promotion is to spend money. You say they have money, so surely find a way to spend it. I just don't get it. We're coasting to oblivion.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.hammers.news/club-news/exwhuemployee-provides-update-on-michail-antonio-that-west-ham-fans-will-love/amp/ He's literally the main man West Ham are hoping can save them from relegation. "The 29 year old is vitally important to the Hammers.......his return to the team gave West Ham an entirely different facet to their attacking play."

Mulgrew surely. We need his wages off the books. I don't blame him for hanging onto a contact we gave him, but at 33, if he wants to play a bit more football in his career, he needs a fresh start somewhere new.
