Not very interesting, full of football nonsense - but page one's observations re this board made me chuckle and, of course, the obligatory scratching of head re Sinclair is also amusing.
After reading their comments I went back and read page 1 of our match thread from the POV of a Brizzle Boy. It would have been similar to a cud-chewing farmer from Malmesbury finding himself in London in the 1950’s in a hip dive bar full of beatniks rapping in an exotic demotic. We’ve evolved our own language, syntax, and slang on LFW and to the West-Country sensibility it’s unintelligible.
Or, to use an old analogy, it’s like a dog listening to classical music.
One poster said “As if the game wasn’t bad enough, I came out of the pub to see a load of QPR across the road emptying Tesco of all their beer for their journey home”.
I need a SAGA. What’s the SAGA? It’s ….. Queen’s Park Rangers.
Stayed in Bristol for the night - love the place. Talked to some pretty fair minded City fans about the game. They felt that both teams are mid table ability wise but thought the difference was our pair up front. They were seriously impressed by Burrell. One thing we agreed on was their ability to get behind our full-backs but their strange reluctance to do much one they got there. I was seriously worried on occasion, but their final ball or lack of it was noticeable.
I think upper mid table for both. Riis and Mehmeti should be a decent combination but not convinced about their midfield or defence. For us, 6th may be our limit. Kone and Burrell offer a real threat but I don't think we have the midfield balance for a sustained tilt at the top 6. Love to be proved wrong, though.

I was sat behaving very well in the Bristol home end with five family members. Brother lives in Bristol and bought the tickets.
Utterly amazed at the sheer number of City fans that simply got up and left when Smyth scored - it is not a hard ground to get away from so zero excuse. Miserable bunch all around me.
The place was practically empty five minutes before half time . They can’t be that hungry or thirsty. Can never understand how anybody gets up and leaves when your only a goal behind with 10 to go . Wierd.

For a while their was a model of the hound on stage when Elvis performed. He apparently did some rather risque things with it during his act, so it was [cough] removed.
