Hi guys
Looking forward to your visit as we see it as a nothing to lose game safe journey to you all but as a bit of a closet gooner , I hope you play a full team a few injuries follow as I’m sure you weekend game with the wounded geordies won’t be easy anyway we will be waiting and I hope you manage to get a few pints of cheddar valley down your neck

All Im getting from that is that you are an Arsenal fan really, and are going to watch Bristol City because the champions are coming to play there

 

[gazinho]

If Phillips doesnt start here then he never, ever will, apart from him and Ortega then god knows who will start

Exactly. And the place is full of them
Full respect to the real robins and rovers fans who don’t jump on the Sky establishment bandwagon

 

[Blu1]

Please just a nice simple 3 nil win no injuries good run out for some squad players & get back to the league.

 

[Blue and true]

I'm giddy to see Perrone given the full 90. Admittedly we were only given a taster against Bournemouth but he fit like a glove.

As someone who lived in Devon for a few years it's very much the accepted thing to have two teams down there. Plymouth was full of Janchester united and Jannerpool fans but if a big team came to town they were back in green and off to Home park for a live football match. Most of them had never stepped foot in Granadaland.

Every Bristol city fan I know also supports a red team or claims that it's a rugby town a bit like Leicester used to be...

Agree as far as Philips is concerned. Does Pep trust him? Or will he get another chance next season?

Any other 9 (Ortega a certainty) one can only guess. Normally Pep plays a strong team in the FA cup. I don’t expect anything less tbh.

Bants over lads seriously if you like a drop of cider head to THE ORCHARD on the waterfront proper little boozer out the way , you’ll be able to try around 12 or more ciders some around 9% great rolls as well ENJOY

My postman delivered this morning (no tickets)
Just phoned up city we're now on a duplicate list for collection at match. City have a member of staff on one of the ticket office windows at the ground so hopefully smaller queue.

Mmm glory hunter then

 

[M12Blue]

Every game twixt now and the end of the season is a cup tie...it’s one game at at time, but each one needs to be approached as a one off.

We’ll need a full,fit and firing squad in good form to win the treble.

It can be done but requires fair draws, fair officials, good form, strong mentality, and a touch of good fortune, something we’ve not enjoyed, certainly not in the CL

Big hearts, cool heads, fast feet CITY

Fair officials, no hope then as I'm sure tge officiating we seem to get impacts negatively on out mentality

Hi Steve,

Congratulations on getting so much shit into one sentence. Quite a feat to get that noticed on here. Can I suggest you shorten it?

I’m a two team wanker who hopes you get injuries.

Job done.

Easier breaking out of Alcatraz than recieving City tickets
Do hope you get them today/tomm mate.

It will be a tough game. They're sat in mid-table where they're not going down but, without a good run, are unlikely to make the playoffs either.

In a typical season you'd expect about 10 changes for this and still an excellent performance. But I'm not sure what our first 11 is and who comes in. It's more likely to be a case of us prioritising Newcastle on the weekend and picking a team that will not start that one.

Hopefully we can play well and get the win, the FA Cup is a competition I still absolutely love and want to see us win. We haven't won it enough since the takeover for me!

 

[wolviedinho]

City are picking up a bit of form. We looked good in the most part against Bournemouth until the subs came on. Pep will mix this up with a few youngsters. Rico, Alvarez to start. Ortega will get a game. Mahrez to come back in. Keep Kev on the bench. Needs all the time out we can give him for the run in.

I can see a hammering on the cards. If not routine 2/3 goal win.

That stupid banner calling us cheats will be their undoing. Another bland team looking a bit of exposure. It’s what happens when you play a great footballing team in city.

Why so much talk about Devon & Cornwall? Bristol lies in the County of Avon or at least it did when I lived there. For those travelling down, a visit to Clifton Suspension Bridge is a must. The only strange accent thing I recall was the habit of putting an L at the end of the word idea ( that's good ideal) and the strong RRRs of course. As for football, the Pirates are their equivalent of MCFC. The Robins are for the posh twats.

Wishing injuries to City players?

Off you fuck, knobhead.
