With the first Bristol derby in 5 years only a day away, the managers of both Bristol clubs have had their pre match sessions with the local press. Journalists asked Mark McGhee what his hopes for the upcoming season are. "well, after a turbulent time last season, I would hope that we can avoid any relegation worries and finish around mid table" With that, the journalists posed the same question to Del McInnes "I would expect us to still have a 100% record come Christmas, be promoted by end of February, so that we can concentrate on winning the league cup & FA Cup and secure our place in European competition & the Premier League for next season" "that's a little bit far fetched and over confident, don't you think..?" responded the assembled media. "He started it!" replied Del, pointing at McGhee. Lifted from OTIB but worth a chuckle!...an oldie but a goldie.
If these comments were actually made by DMcI and MMcG, it is good for the game that some humour can be introduced into local football. The fans take the mickey out of each other so why not the managers.
