Today's Football 2017-18 Season

Thought the Rovers were the "real" proper Bristol club? Weren't City derided as FC Bristol Franchise a while ago? Could be wrong..

City went bust about 30 plus years ago, and only survived cos a load of players tore up their contracts. So Rovers kinda refer to that. The franchise thing is the owner, Steve Lansdown, owning City, Bristol Rugby, and a Basketball team. Maybe an Ice Hockey one as well, all under the Sport Bristol banner.

Bit like John Hall at Newcastle did.

The "Real" Bristol club is clouded in long abandoned County boundaries. City play south of the river Avon, in what was is now Somerset, Rovers play north of it, in what is now part of Gloucestershire. But both clubs are very much ingrained in their respective regions of the city. For locals anyrate.

I love mourinho' grid when they're losing. That said I hope he bottles that Bristol manager with that £500 wine he's bought him the try hard little dweeb

 

[marnie]

It`s a very strange place, full of Tabbys, foreign English language students, posh locals and tramps.

I endorse it. See what I did there.
Goes to bed.

United equalise. A dive by Pogba to win the free kick mind, but well taken free kick by Zlatan.

[mikewex]

Wouldn’t necessarily want to recruit any of Bristol’s defenders, but wouldn’t mind getting in whoever the defensive coach is. Some lovely controlled tackling.

 

[Khalekan]

That Pogba is a proper bell.
