Pre Match Bristol City v Leicester

[City Fan]

Hmm
Could almost see through your answer before you wrote it

Still got your head in the sand I presume, HTB?

 

[FOX Franks]

I’m excited about this and also very nervous.


We really need a win.

 

[homer]

I’m excited about this

Me too, mate

Just setting off now - see if we can sneak a quick pint in before ko

We gonna ****ing smash ‘em big time

 

[Micky]

We really should beat this lot. If we don't, we don't deserve to be in the top two.

And not a nervy 1 goal margin, clinging on at the end for dear life, kind of win either.

A comfortable 2-3 goal margin would be nice and very unLeicester.

Blown a 14 point lead and we’re due to get a points deduction next season no matter which division we’re in, because we’re ran by a bunch of ****s.

But let’s all be positive so that you’re not peeved.

He did say not just you.

It is ****ing depressing on here sometimes though.

Who can honestly say we will NOT get promoted, who is to say we WON’T get a points deduction?

Who is to say we can’t take a 6-point deduction and still survive next season, Notts Forest and Everton aren’t exactly sunk yet are they?

It’s all about perspective.

Not all fans are that fussed by the behind the scenes stuff though. It’s not that it doesn’t bother them, it’s just that they can’t see how they can do a lot about it and therefore just enjoy it for what it is. There’s nothing wrong with that and it’s not necessarily a case of being over-positive, it’s just watching a football team.

We’ve had a lot of ups and downs over the years, so it’s not like we haven’t experienced shit times before and things have obviously been much worse than they are now. That’s not burying your head in the sand, that’s just a different perspective on how fans see things.

There is also the fact that some people arent happy unless they are moaning. They will always find something to be miserable about regardless of the situation and the current backroom shite just makes it a bit easier for them to be happy.

That's all fair enough.

However, I think taking an interest in our financial woes is probably more important than how we do in any individual match.

It's all about perspective.

I'm far less emotionally involved in games nowadays. I put that down to age and the very point you make - we've seen so many highs and lows that momentary league positions are just meh.

The big picture of how we will be penalised whatever happens over the next few weeks may well be far more significant for the next ten years than how many points we get.

Still second in the league, could be top this afternoon, 5 points clear of third. Might get a points deduction next season but we could still very well get enough points to stay up. These same '****s' that brought us the best decade in the club's entire history may well have us back in the PL within a season.

But let's all be miserable little bitches so that you're not annoyed by anything that doesn't fit your ****ing depressing narrative.

Subs: Doyle,

He's suspended.

He's suspended.

The Street is trolling him now.

Yeah. That's what football is all about. Tens of thousands of people coming together on a Saturday to worry about club finances. I don't even celebrate goals anymore for fear that our accountant has forgotten to carry the one.
