    I'm just happy to see a good game of football without worrying to much about the result. Of all teams we play I remember the finest defender I've ever seen, Norman Hunter, and for that ....thanks for letting him come to City.

    However, our 'BIG game o the season' is it?
    You didn't need to say that.

    One of
    My fondest memories was meeting him a few months before his untimely death. The picture hangs proudly in mancave and workshop

    If you look on our site, yes. Speak outside of that, then I very much am not in the minority. A huge swath of fans were very underwhelmed with what Pearson delivered, given what was assumed given his resume and expeience when appointed.

    Maybe it's an age thing, most people my age and younger felt he was past his best, our older fans thought he was great.

    Big game of the season, have a word, we have just had 2 PL sides on the bounce down at BS3. Also, Sunderland, WBA, Brum and Cardiff (sometimes) bring as many fans as you do.
    I always have a good laugh at the high opinion Leeds fans think other clubs have of them.

    I wish I could have met the great man.

    I have based my entire playing style on Norm and bitten many a leg and have a vast collection of red cards to go with it.

    Go on then who is our biggest game of the season ?

    Guess you'll say Leicester but that's only because they're top of the League.

    For me all 46 are the same and equally as important.

    Probably should add if everyone felt the same then maybe we wouldn't have dropped valuable points against Rotherham & Sheff Wed.

    Back in the day when I was playing Sunday League, at the start of the season I always used to take the precaution of signing two registration forms - one in my name and another under alias as Pete Murphy.

    Needless to say Pete Murphy played a few games for us and collected a few yellows in between touring and making Maxell adverts....showing my age there.

    What u mean "go on then". I wasn't being disrespectful, it was a genuine question. Other than Bristol Rovers I genuinely don't know who City dislike the most.

    I'm a bit old school. I don't like losing to Sunderland, Boro, Wednesday and Huddersfield too much. It's always a pleasure to beat Millwall and we have history with Cardiff.

    To sum up, I'd rather lose to Bristol than Cardiff for example. I'd rather lose to Coventry than Sunderland. You catch my drift?

    Bristol Rovers have historically always been a bigger club than Bristol City.
