i still cant believe that palace didnt beat reading ffs, such an undeserved draw for them!! :(
 
4 wins in a row for Pompey, waheyyy! About ******* time we started winning again.. lets hope this time we don't go on a really good run and then end up not winning for 10 games after. If we keep this up, we could push for a strong top half position, maybe play offs but I doubt it.. Play up Pompey!
 
Come on Boro beat the forest. can't let them get too far ahead ;)
 
Dear Brighton fans. I, as a Bristol City supporter, am in debt to you and your club. You've shown nothing but support for our stadium troubles having suffered for so long in your own bid.

Martin Perry travelled all the way to our city centre to speak on our behalf and I believe he was crucial in the reversal of their decision to reject a vital element of our proposal (the selling of our current ground and construction of a Sainsburys store to partly fund the new stadium). I truly hope you lot get promoted as no team would receive a better reception at the Gate.

unfortunately youselves and Leicester are really catching us up. Gonna be hard to hang onto a play off place but theoretically we don't have too tough of a run in. It's all going to be close

Aniyensah is good when fit, he may not score many but he works hard and runs his socks off :)

Did anyone else see that london freebie paper yesterday? evening standard i think.
It said that Benny Macarthy the West Ham striker is going to join charlton on loan,
oh dear we dont need another striker really, especially one with fitness problems and on killer wages :/

Sainsburys bid's been accepted.

All that's stopping us now is the Village Green baloney.

What I don't understand is...

Sainsburys are contributing £20 Million
The stadium will cost £90 Million
Where are City getting £70 Million from????

My comment was pretty harsh- I was annoyed after our defeat at county :)

Can't believe we have sold Abott though. He started off poorly but he is just starting to get into some good form and has been one of our best players recently.

Loss at home to Carlisle isn't good enough, played poorly again too. Promotion looking like a long shot this season. As long as Powell has a plan in mind for next year I don't mind one more year in L1.

TBF if we got promoted this season we would be stuffed almost every week in the championship :)

And I agree with you about Mcarthy. He would just be another Jimmy floyd hasselbaink.

Lansdown sold a stake of 4.7% in his company to fund £47.2 mil, with the Sainsburys sale aiming to push it close to £70 mil. The remainder will be made up from naming rights for the stadium (among other sponsorship deals) and small debentures.

As you can see, we idolise Lansdown for good reason. And all this can be scuppered by a muddy field.

Didn't Lansdown want to buy us once?

I've always remembered being told that we rejected him, then he brought City instead :@

It's gunna be an exciting play-off scrap! Got to admit that all three teams that come up have been really impressive, this is normally the time of year when Leeds have a little hicup
 
Walsalls great escape is definitely on! What a fantastic win over Southampton. Now we could possibly go undefeated 3 (possibly 4) Swindon, Yeovil, Leyton Orient and Hartlepool. Dean Smiths Barmy Army!!

I've never actually seen it confirmed anywhere, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was true. You'd have been the cheaper option for a first time chairman.

I also forgot to mention he sold further stakes in his company last year to get over £50mil and God knows how much of that he'll put into our club. If it wasn't for the fact we need the money from naming rights, I think all City fans would back it being called the Lansdown stadium.

Wilson resigned as Swindon boss

Any idea on who could take over?

Wow he's really left them in the ****.

I wouldn't be at all suprised if Phil Parkinson takes over. Be typical if the man that led us to a loss against Swindon in the POs takes charge of them then beats us in the POs again. Think I'd kill myself.

Didn't that run basically start when you won at the Valley? (might be wrong) It's when our run of awful form started and Parkinson was sacked.

You Bastards!! (A)
 
Dalla Valle joins Bournemouth on loan <3

And Burnley will get into the play offs with King Eddie in charge. Mark my words.
