    I'm sure the 'more direct' sides in this division will be targeting him. When we signed Maenpaa I was concerned but he was at Brighton previously so knew what was coming whereas the Kiwi bloke we signed was like a rabbit in the headlights, absolutely woeful. We've had a few foreign keepers over...

    Decent signing at a good fee that. I'm starting to think he may well be right unfortunately. We do need a player like him to supplement our existing forwards, as mentioned by JJH.

    The Championship Game

    I'm up for it CH. Always makes the weekend a bit more interesting. Thanks for doing it fella, if you get enough interest to warrant your time.

    TBH Mark, my comment was more about the other players mentioned and their perceived abilities than about Bonatini. Apologies for my lack of clarity.

    That's how I believe it to be Southey. As JJH says the number of companies under the Bristol sport umbrella is quite confusing although SL sits at the head of all of them AFAIK.

    Indirectly owned by Steve Lansdown Southey. He owns various different companies which are all part of Bristol sport but he owns all of it essentially.

    Sorry Southey? No need for that at all. Had a bad day flower? Hardly war and peace though is it? Just a brief heads up on how Johnson recruits.

    Johnson demands extreme fitness and team work. I'm not sure Joao fits in to that vision. LJ won't put up with any signs of laziness. A few players have already been chastised on tour for lacking the necessary effort. No doubt a few of them will be gone when we get back from the US. LJ likes to...

    Rather have Bonatini over any of them myself in all honesty.

    Managerial Merry-Go-Round 2022/23

    I'd do it for nothing but multiple relegation's and financial mismanagement would be a given! ;)

    The thing with wages, and I stand to be corrected but think I'm right, is this: If a player does not ask for a transfer, and moves to a club offering lower wages than he is currently on, the club he is leaving are duty bound to pay the difference for the remainder of his contract with THEM. In...

    Sorry Leyland, I made my point badly. As JJH says, Hugill would undoubtedly fit your style of play but, financially, it's just not the PNE way and so far removed from your normal policy of buy relatively cheap, improve and sell on / benefit from. Hugill will most certainly not be cheap fee wise...

    That doesn't fit North End's philosophy at all and would be obscenely expensive if it were true JJH not that I doubt the rumour. It seems to be totally against the way PNE do things.

    Bristol City thread

    I see on OTIB that some hack has tweeted that we have signed Nketiah on a season long loan, very exciting it's true. An Arsenal supporting work colleague thinks he is something special.

    Early Predictions 2019/20

    Top Scorer: I don't think he's with us yet but, of the current squad, either Diehdou or maybe Szmodics. He looks very sharp thus far. No doubt Andi Weimann will weigh in with a few as will Josh Brownhill. Big forward signing coming our way methinks. Signing you’re most excited about: The...

    This 'gay footballer' lark

    If it's genuine, I'm sure there's a book deal already sorted ie £££££. A tad cynical maybe but I just don't get the social media build up. There's really no need IMHO but, no doubt, this will be 'sensational news' as per the British press. Get on with the bloody game FFS.

    They only had 4 players though Gassy and 2 of them were taken off at half time. :whistle:

    Pre season 2019/20

    Won at Wimbledon 2-3 but gave away 2 penalties, that's 4 in 2 games. Miles in the legs I suppose. Our lot are off to Tampa tomorrow for a training camp playing some Yank team and some mob called Derby County. I assume that's the team that used to be called Frank Lampard's Derby? ;)

    This 'gay footballer' lark

    I don't know if you're aware but some Championship footballer is about to come out as 'openly gay' and is putting it all over social media. Do you really give a shit? Is it anything to do with football etc etc? Some bloke is gay, righto, get on with the football. Why the social media build up? I...
