Crystal Palace will be very disappointed not to have got 3 points here as they bossed the game until the sending off. However this is a good away point and should not be laughed at.

Robins Sign Arsenal Star

The BCC today can break the news that Bristol City have completed the signing of Arsenal whiz kid Fran Merida. Merida joins Bristol City for a sum believed to be around 600k. It is believed Merida had fallen out with the back room staff at Arsenal and so wanted to move on.

Fran the Man

The BCC have also received a statement from the Bristol City manager:

We are delighted to have signed such a great player for an absolute bargain. There where a lot of Europe's finest clubs after Fran, including Real Madrid and Roma, so we still cant believe we have the Spaniard at Ashton Gate

It was a very busy month for the club with transfer activity, FA cup and league games all going on but all in all i think it was a tough but good month for the club. We still sit top of a very tight table and are still in the FA cup. We also managed to keep hold of all our star players and add Fran Merida who is of the highest standard. ​

Watford 1-0 Bristol City
Goals: Cleverley (.6)

Football can be so so so cruel at times and this was one of those times. We played brilliant and deserved at least a draw. We thought we had earned a replay back at Ashton Gate but it wasn't to be. The ref awarded a soft penalty 1 minute over injury time

A very tough month which we managed to turn round in the last two games with 6 points. We are still gutted at the way in which we exited the FA Cup but the league is our priority now. It is seriously tight at the top with 4 points separating the top 5 teams. As the season is drawing to a close it is essential that we keep plugging away and picking up as many points as we can get our hands on.
​

 

[Clark_Messi]

Unlucky about the FA cup mate.
A good 6 points at the end of the month.
It's tight and anything can happen in the championship but I'm sure you'll make it
Good Luck

I got carried away and played the first two games of April and forgot to take a screen shot so I will show the table after the second game in the April update. We are currently sitting one point clear at the top of the table ;D


Managers View

A very tough month for the club which we managed to pull through and come out smelling of roses. We managed to put 3 1-0 wins in a row to find our form again. We have a massive month ahead of us in April. We must come together as a team more than ever now.
