Plenty of goals there then this season !!!

Despite his faults, James deserves better. He's not the worst keeper in the world.

No - that's Robert Green, isn't it?

I'm confused Tango. As I understand it there were other Clubs after him, but HE'S chosen Bristol City. He could have gone to Celtic...

it was probably fish not mars bars that he wanted battered.

Well, I'll admit I haven't followed events, but I'd have thought etc....

that's a coup for them in fairness, fair play

They must have some decent financial backing.. Hunt, Maynard and James will be amongst the top earners in that League for sure

From what I read James didn't want to move his family from their home in Devon, which rather limits the clubs that are within travelling distance. He said he was very close to joining Plymouth a couple of seasons ago.

Quote: "I've had offers to stay in the Premier League but it is more important that I play football for the right club and be a family man," said James.

Bristol City might be worth a gamble - for the gamblers amongst us.

Ridiculous that a city the size of Bristol has only had a top flight side for four years.

I still haven't forgiven Gerry Gow for shattering my illusions about First Division football in 1978.

.. in which case I hopenhe's getting some kip & not sitting up playing computer games through the night !! (if you don't know about this, look it up).

thsi dosent deserve its own thread, i was just wondering, who are the biggest club in Bristol?

I know City are generally more successful, play in a higher league, have the larger stadium etc

But in our office Rovers fans completely outnumber the City lot, granted many of them don’t go but the majority definitely favour the Rovers.

But last night, the cheer that went up when the announcer told us the Rovers score at Oxford told me that 90% of the 10k in the ground were City, which imo was a brilliant turnout for the U21 reserves.. in a friendly.. vs Uzbekistan!

i cant ask anyone here beacuse they are biased.

Ask 'em if they've ever thought they could improve their lot by amalgamating.

From the Rover and City fans I know, don't think this would go down well at all.

Weren't there rumours of it happening about 5 years back?
