Originally from the glorious West, now in Wales. BCFC fan. Views are not my own as I am incapable of independent thought.

@TheExiledRobin Something needs to happen though. There is something very rotten at the club at the moment. Manager lost the plot, players don't look arsed. And the management....well!

[Bristol City FC @BristolCity]

A generational talent. 🐿️

You've voted the Squirrel as today's @thatchers_cider Pick of the Match! 🍎

[James Ball @JBall1978]

@ForeverBristol1 Credit to the ref in the goal though. He was about to blow and just waited to see if Rob could get the pass away. Agree on McCrorie - all over the place.

LONELINESS IS INVISIBLE

Let's start the conversation.

@ForeverBristol1 Philogene on the bench. Should be easy enough to keep an eye on him.

Big interview: Liam Manning spoke with immeasurable strength about the loss of his baby son, Theo. He revealed how he considered quitting #BristolCity, and the push for the Premier League. But football was secondary. Plenty of lump-in-the-throat moments: https://t.co/lfoQge9jaK

@jonnyblundra @ForeverBristol1 Sadly not......about 89:45 when it went in. The wait for an added time goal goes on 😂

@TheExiledRobin Gavin Peacock could probably do a job in that midfield.

Each to their own but he has some interesting takes on life.

@RealBristolBoy Fair play, this has been a shambles of a performance so far. On the positive side we aren't the three down we should be. 👍

@Exploding_Heads this your handywork chaps?

[BBC Sport @BBCSport]

Incredibly powerful.

🚨”You are finished here prime minister. You are finished with lying to us.”🚨

[James Ball @JBall1978]

@leembroad It is possible that that attitude might just be a factor in the general feeling that tensions are increasing between fans and the police instead of decreasing as they should be.

As a leader you have a role to play. Perhaps you might like to reflect on that.

[James Ball @JBall1978]

@leembroad We're not tetchy, we're law abiding citizens who you police with our consent.

The culture of an organisation is set by its leadership. What you've shown is that that culture doesn't seem to be open to anything other than it's own narrow minded stereotypes.
