I know Alex Scott can be seen everywhere and anywhere these days but I just read that Alex is fit and should make an appearance tonight.

Anyone know a bar in Funchel Madeira which will have the game on?

There are 3 bars on the street behind the Savoy Palace…Prince Albert, an Irish bar across from the Albert and a minl Mackie Mayor style food and drink court 100 yards along from the Prince Albert. All 3 show the football and all have decent food too.

Scott is a cracking prospect, you’ve got a very good academy there and produced some good lads in recent years
Full respect to lads like yourselves who go regularly and follow city and the gas, but when I lived down there and on many subsequent visits I’ve met a depressingly significant number of born and bred Bristolians who support united, liverpool etc. A weirdly large Chelsea following as well
I think given the likely number of changes and the fact we have Newcastle early on Saturday, it might be a closer game than many are expecting, we might even have to come from behind

You're right with that in fairness mate - because the city's been completely starved of any footballing success you get a lot of glory hunters.

Makes it even more impressive that we still get 20k+ turn up to watch us every week I think, given we've been largely shite for the majority of our history, but maybe I'm biased.

3'500 blues in Bristol on a Tuesday night is great support. Top effort blues

Agreed, cracking effort that.

Fair fucks, but I did expect it. Proper football fans who attend games and get chatting to other fans on trains etc round the country know the score with Man City - the "emptyhad" shite and the stuff about your support being naff is a complete myth.

Phillips needs a whole match. On his few outings he looks poor and lost.

I agree I’d try him in jacks position for this game get him mooching around hunting
