I told a little laddie off for saying that about Jonas today.

Its a hell of an achievement for a pickle. Gerken got them out of a pickle. If that had been funny, it would have been funny. Go and do some marking. He might as well not bother doing marking, he's just done some merking instead. Of you.

as much as that's most likely bullshit it wouldn't shock me if it was true.

Was no shortage of effort though (bar Jonas). You've got to admit that, whilst Hughton is doing alright in difficult circumstances, he isn't a good manager though? You wouldn't him him full time would you? And there's gotta be a reason for that. Aye, I agree with all of that. I think in the circumstances, he's doing okay (better than I thought) and it's fair enough he gets praise for that. Having said that, I'm probably the biggest Hughton sympathiser on here.

pwned

Was no shortage of effort though (bar Jonas).

- today was just the players underperforming a bit, nothing really to do with his team selection imo. He made decentish subs (if maybe 10 mins later than my liking) as well.

Yeah, there's a difference between the two. It was painfully obvious that Jonas just couldn't be bothered today, whereas Nolan is genuinely hunched over after about 20 minutes.

Agreed. Haven't a clue how it didn't go in.

beardieman - do you sit near the front of the Gallowgate end? I spied your Barton 666 shirt from my lofty perch in the upper.

Ah well, fair enough then.

Actually make that 6.7% of 404 votes which makes that about 26 people who are stone cold crazy. I'd imagine its a representitive figure.

Correctly replaced Jonas.

Dean Gerken was in net for them today. No he wasn't, Gerken was named on the bench by the announcer...

Sno was bloody dreadful ffs, you do realise you're watching football and not cricket don't you joey?

6.7% of 40,000 - I make that about 2600ish fans who reckon Jonas was the best player. Unreal.

Was a lot of "fat cockney bastard, geddout of our club" today.

What was it you didn't like? He won practically every header, and apart from that one iffy backpass he didn't put a foot wrong all day. The first twenty minutes where Bristol had a little bit of pressure he was colossal.

Zurab was probably my man of the match after Smith, thought he was excellent

Ask him if he was stood outside a newsagent near The Gate around 2.30... I think it was him, anyway. He (this kid) did look at me, I had a bottle or Irn Bru (if thats any help )

You didn't see the match though. They weren't relaxed, just a final ball was lacking and we missed a sitter or two. These things do happen (see events at Old Trafford).

Two weeks off and even Butt will be able to play and not do too badly. Should be a win.

If you look at Boro, West Brom, etc, they've all lost and drawn a few games at home. We've won all but two which we've drew - we look to have a better home record than most of our rivals. And Watford.

I said that to my mate on the way out. Bristol City. Bristol. City.
