David James for manager?

[Pesci]

Considering he only signed because of Coppell, that might be a nice way to placate him

[IAceI]

Had a couple of good seasons with Reading but has done nothing of note in the years around that really. I thought Bristol City may push for a promotion spot sooner or later and expect to see them make the Premiership one day, if only for a year.

Still think Bristol City can do well, they were great under Gary Johnston and they just need that manager who can take them to a slightly further level. All this drama and bluster thats come with Coppell will be the last thing a team like Bristol City will have wanted.

I feel sorry for Bristol, they didn't deserve this at this time. I won't really lose sleep over Coppell's decision to retire from management either and I'm sure he'll be back in some shape at some point.

Hopefully Millen can lead Bristol City forward now, to me they've always been that team that will achieve without any weights of expectations on them - they aren't a glamour team so don't attract a lot of media attention, or at least they didn't until James and Coppell arrived on the scene.

[Pesci]

I'm just glad that if he was that flakey, he left now and not later on. Should be fairly easy to rebuild after this, I just hope some of the players he signed don't get bitchy.

[Adam]

Weird as hell, he's completely retired from football management. Coppell's an odd individual.

This should make our game with them on Saturday very interesting!

This brightened up my day, I will not lie

Bit of a mixed week.

Great 5-1 win and now selling our star striker. Hope it does not set us back.

We have good options besides. Stockley is a good young guy coming through and we have Symes as well as Fletcher and Lovell.

Once again we bred a guy for bigger and better things. Not many clubs with the track record we have.

Then again, they don't all go great guns when they leave.

See John Spicer and Sam Vokes.

[Adam]

Spicer was quite good for us in his first year but for some reason O'Driscoll didn't use him much last season and he suffered for it. Thanks for bringing through Hayter and Stock though, I doubt we'd be where we are now without those two!

[Emperor DC]

Stock is pure class. One of the players I miss most if I am honest. Until recently with Bartley and Robinson, we struggled to replace his impact in the middle of the field.

Hayts is a legend too. Still watches our games when he can apparently.

[Adam]

Man City's ruining of football crusade continues and has now infiltrated the Championship. Woohoo.

Longest day I've had in years, jeez.

[Sam]

On the plus side Man City have cheered up one EWB member with their crusade yasy Bellamy and Cardiff , would be great if they get promoted this season, will defo try to go catch some matches when I'm not too busy studying ¬.¬

Plus a win for Colchester, what a good day

First three points for the clubformerlyknownasBoro' in league football. Great performance and have rewatched Bostwicks goal many, many times great strike. This league football lark's piss easy

[IAceI]

Carlisle beat Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 at Hillsboro. That's probably the biggest win Carlisle could hope for in this league so perhaps a promotion push could be on the cards? Was apparently a deserved win too, lads who went said Sheff Wed didn't even get a sniff and no one on the Carlisle team put a foot wrong for the whole match.

Problem is, come the end of the year, if they don't go up (and even if they probably do), players like Collin, Madine, Zoko and Taiwo could easily be snapped up by bigger teams.

[Sam]

Yay Colchester are unbeatable! I hope we can take advantage of the turmoil at Soton and get 3 points there next time out though XD

Also good to see Cardiff beating Hull despite having injury problems (like always)

Doncaster 3-1 Norwich

Sheff Utd 0-4 Scunthorpe

Barnsley 5-2 Leeds

These results make me very happy tonight.

[EddieG]

Let's hope Leeds ain't out for the big time revenge on Friday, you going?

I been told to stay the fuck outta town.

[Adam]

I will be going, yeah-if there's any trouble in the town it'll only be in pubs and it won't be many people I'd imagine, I don't remember any trouble when we played them two years ago at home.

It could go either way...either they'll come out roaring, wanting to put right last nights result, or they'll bring more of the same and we'll beat them. I hope it's the latter!

[EddieG]

I work with someone who's part of Leeds' firm, and apparently they're going to tore Frenchgate down.

Should be fun.

[Lineker]

6-1!!!! Fucking c'mon Watford!!!

[Pesci]

Ugh, I went to Bristol City today because my mate's parents are out of town and I borrowed her dad's season ticket, and I can't believe how bad things are. A couple of seasons ago Ashton Gate was an asbolute fortress and now the defending is like something you'd see accompanied by Benny Hill music. What's annoying is that City were probably the better team but three massive mistakes and we got cunted. Bottom of the table now, please don't have us go down and have to deal with Rovers fans holding victories over us for like 5 years again
