25 undefeated. Brizzle is a nice place for a day out. I can imagine we are bringing a fair few to this one. Go eat some Pieminister pies, some Tarr's ice-cream and drink some cider. They are all gert lush. Meet some Bristol Rovers fans and make friends for the day. “Alright, me babber?” you should say to them. You can admire Bristol Cities too, but I am told the police won't like you touching them. Bristol is an old English name. It comes from the words Brycg - meaning bridge - and stow - meaning place. It is the place by the bridge. Don't drink too much cider while crossing the bridge or you will end up Underbrycg in deep scitte... A bris is of course a popular Jewish operation. If we lose this week then I believe you lot will make pay the Bris Toll. I took my son to Bristol Zoo when he was little. It is a really nice zoo. If you are going up with kids, take them. You'll enjoy it. Anyway, 1-2 Southampton.
I too went to Bristol Zoo, in about 1967. They had white tigers there, with black markings. They probably got them because the licence was cheaper (a very old joke, I'm afraid) I went back to Bristol last year, and saw a pirate wandering about Bristol Harbour (nice restaurants). I asked him if still had his buccaneers. Add your own punchline... Anyway, I'm expecting similar tactics to Saturday - let the opposition score first, one or two, then realise that Loading loves his job, so score at least three in the second half. Prediction - 4-2 to Saints.
I wonder if the opposition will use the Udders tactics? It could lead to another entertaining game with Saints coming away with three points.
I like Bristol, spent 5 years at uni there and go back from time to time. Have they relocated the zoo? They were planning it last time I went a few years ago.
I am worried about this one. So much so I am going to do my insurance bet on a Bristol win. Not sure if I will be able to cash out and win again though. 1-1 or maybe 2-1 Bristol.

Time to be confident. 0=3 to Saints, but what do I know you nettex a £100 yesterday with your insurance bets
Yeah, is just off jct17 of the M5 now. I liked the story about the parking at the old site, how a guy collected £000s in parking fees for years, and then quietly disappeared once the council and the zoo realised that he didn't actually work for either of them or have any control over the land used for parking on
No, it’s still in Clifton, near the Suspension Bridge. By the way, if anyone’s driving up to Bristol please be aware of the Clean Air Zone. Ashton Gate isn’t inside it so avoid the City Centre and you should be OK. Map here: https://visitbristol.co.uk/your-visit/travelling-to-bristol/bristols-clean-air-zone
Bristol Old Vic is the oldest continuously running theatre in the English speaking world…opening in 1766. Went there once….cant for the life of me remember what for. Probably best to stick to football.
I saw a superb production of Romeo and Juliet there by the Young Vic company, the actors were all the appropriate ages for their parts. The 14 year old playing Juliet was simply incredible. Sadly I have no idea what her name was!
Playing a successful high pressing game is more complex tactically than parking the bus. Its also higher risk because if it goes wrong, it can go spectacularly wrong (remember the regular thrashings under Ralph?). I don't know why Huddersfield are so good at it, but I doubt many teams in the division can do it as well as they do. And the Hudds players were f*cked by the end. We could have scored 7 or 8 in the second half.
It's on the telly if you can't make it. Sky sports main event. I went to the kebab and calculator pub a few months ago on a young ones tip which is currently called Westbury park pub or something,
