Bristol City have emailed every other championship club to say that they're not kicking the ball out of play if a player is down and leave it to the ref to stop the match. Everyone should do it

Bristol have developed a real billy big bollocks attitude over the summer. Think they're big time now they're spending money (on players they already had on loan last season).

Their glorious post march choke will be extra glorious this season.

Their squad isn't really good enough to get to the point where they can choke. Kieran Dowell is a good addition but they lost most of their quality when Wilson and Mount left. Tom Lawrence has two or three games a season where he looks a serious player (one down already), the rest are hardworking lads like Waghorn and Mason Bennett. Top half will be an accomplishment.

Watch them beat us on Saturday now I've said that.

He'll turn out to be wank just like the rest of all the signings made in the last 2 years. I'm finding it really hard to be excited by anything Stoke are doing.

Unlike Clucas he was actually alright for us. But he's short for a centre half and while he's good with the ball he's very conservative with his passing. Big wage at Spurs as well.

Woodman saved a pen but the rest of our signings are shite. Celina awful as well. Second half we let them have all of the ball and they wouldn't have scored if we were still playing.

A vpn set to a dark market and your club's branded iFollow subscription should give you access to every game. It's all run collaboratively through the EFL with main camera feeds and set pricing although some clubs add extra stuff like an awkward pre-match talkshow and badly cued up replays where they haven't muted the original commentary.

I did a month of SwansTV and it ran out a few days ago but I'm not paying for another just to watch us hammer Leeds when it's an international break afterwards.

Forest were nothing special they just took on one the gifts we gave them and didn't make any massive mistakes of their own.

We may still be top but on performances we're barely top half imho.

"Quite brilliant team goal" says Keith.

Winger knocks it past his man, whips in a cross and the big man in the box nods it in. Irish standards are depressingly low these days, aren't they.

Congrats on your victory at the weekend sassassin. Not that you'll need any help in beating this shower but our board are going all out to gift you the win by not sacking Nathan Jones yet.

You have too many ex-Swansea players not to score. Joe got his clearly offside goal last season but there's still a towering header from little Carter-Vickers to look forward to.

Bidwell's back from suspension for us so that's another disaster waiting to happen.

Andre Ayew's been decent but he drifts inside from the right a lot. It was basically just Connor Roberts on the wing for an hour last night. Celina's the same on the other side. Both want to be 10s but aren't clever enough.

We don't put in a lot of crosses even though Borja and Ayew are good in the air.

Blame Gibson, not Woodgate. Although Woodgate knew fine well there'd be no money to spend and lower expectations for the season before he took the job.

I can't wait until January when all the teams around us are strengthening their squads and we're not because we've got no loving funds!

The whole league is skint or on the verge of sanctions this season. More quality will go out than come in.

The diamond completely stopped us playing, although keeping the exact same team from Wednesday's battle wouldn't have helped either. Charlton made 5 changes to their side and were good value for a point at Fulham, pressed high and well.

Cooper blamed the players for not doing what he told them "for some reason". Everyone wants a young, exciting manager but they all come unstuck when plan A doesn't work. Seen it with Monk and Potter, hands in pockets, shrug of the shoulders, not knowing what's going wrong.

Joe Allen had the freedom of the park the cheating little git. 4 v 2 in midfield for most of the game.

Jose posted:

how's freddie woodman doing?

He's pretty good. Can catch a ball and will leave his six yard area to do it, which is an upgrade on our last two keepers. Made some good saves, probably won us a few points but he's generally had quiet games as most Championship strikers can't hit a barn door from 12 yards. Saved a penalty against Derby. Passing stats good, better than Fulton in midfield, important for how we play out with the new goal kicks rule adding pressure.

Was a bit flappy in his first couple of games but no howlers yet.

To be fair he was the captain and as much at fault for them all getting smashed (haha) as anyone. He only wasn't driving because he never got a licence.

They won't want to sack Lawrence and Bennett because their squad is poo poo and they're not far off being relegation candidates. All their quality last season was on loan. Rooney's got a big job on his hands in January.

He'll probably sue and win because Cocu's on record as saying the club okay-ed their drinking, and in British English that means 12 pints and line up the jagerbombs.
