    Video HAJI WRIGHT SCORES LAST MINUTE COVENTRY CITY WINNER AGAINST OXFORD! ⚡️ | City Unseen EP105 ⛫

    As you say, the guys just class. Said on another thread that was as complete a performance as I’ve seen from him (and we’ll probably see from any City player this season), yet what’s he doing during the sky interview…saying that Wright should have MoTM award not him Got to keep both during...

    Eccles

    Yeah, people really need to watch the first half again, he played some quality balls. Even second half he did some good stuff/dirty work, just tired a bit as game went on. Rudoni was excellent first half but not as effective second, Oxford were making it harder for us and players aren’t fully up...

    Luis Binks tonight

    Binks is really coming along well, great long passing range, similar to Doyle a couple of seasons back. I still think Kitching and Thomas last season (before Kitchings red cards) was the best CB partnership we’ve had recently though. Still reckon it might be but both need deliver at that level...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    A shit border policy, Ukraine refugees and people gaming the system (low pay visas and student visas). Crazy that the Tories oversaw system allowing students to bring dependents and people earning £18.5k could also bring spouses I’d imagine the numbers will settle down a bit now but appalling...

    Milan van Ewijk Appreciation Thread

    Had the match on in the background this morning to see if I’d missed much live. His delivery was so much better last night. As others have said, it’s the best game he’s played in a city shirt and one of the most complete performances I’ve seen from a city player in a long time. Immense Really...

    Oxford player ratings

    Yeah, the Torp thing is weird. Played some great balls, something like 89% pass completion and worked hard. Also made a last ditch tackle when they broke at 2-2 after their forward had barged Lati over - ignore seen it on tv and it was Eccles !! People don’t see that though, they ignore the...

    Im all for workers rights and making sure people aren’t mistreated but some of the below were hardly ‘workhouse rules’ and may actually make the whole service run better https://media.raildeliverygroup.com/news/the-rail-industry-makes-offer-to-aslef-to-drive-up-performance-for-passengers

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Current year and likely future for train divers. I’ve actually got no issue with the pay rises themselves but not to put a couple of conditions/pre conditions in is unwise

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Or an alternative version…. Labour: our spending plans rely on growth and we shouldn’t have to raise taxes Economy: grows strongly for two quarters and inflation back to normalish leading to BoE rate cut Labour: we’ve inherited a big financial hole we didn’t know about so will have to cut...

    Victor Torp

    Spot on. This happens time and again with players moving to different countries and leagues, especially if there’s a step up in quality and intensity of the league. Might be wrong but pretty sure Henry was the same. You can imagine in any walk of life you move country, start in a new workplace...

    Match Thread Bristol City FC - Coventry City [LC] Match Thread - Tuesday 13th Aug

    Missing sheaf obviously but I see the combination of players picked /formation as the issue in first couple of games Last night having Torp and palmer both playing with a front three inc Taveres meant we were getting overrun. Against Stoke, without Eccles or sheaf nobody screened the defence...

    Got to be honest, was wondering why palmer was still on, especially left wing, but decent enough ball for goal

    wingers need to be narrower a lot of the time and/or Palmer closer to BTA. Same as Saturday

    The Olympics

    If anything sums out what a deluded society we live in it’s this ! There was a bbc thing where they put ordinary people on a running machine at the pace Keely Hodgkinson runs at (Found it) Top athletes make the performances in their disciplines look almost effortless but it’s usually...

    Match Thread Stoke away 10th August 12:30 - Opening day!

    He either does a belting through ball that splits oppositions midfield or gives it away cheaply…far too many of the latter today though. Whole team was guilty of that, just thought we lacked a bit of intensity and cohesion, standard for us at start of the season ps it was almost like robins...
