Good luck after tomorrow, especially with those owners!
Oh and Bristol isn't in Gloucestershire.”

“Notts Forest...Sorry mate no such team. It is Nottingham Forest, this can be shortened to Nottm Forest,
Notts refers to the county. Just like Bristol is not Gloucestershire city
Heres for a good game tomorrow with the visit of the back to back European champions from the world famous city ground.
All the luck in the world to SOD, but not tomorrow.”

“What is the love affair the Bristol Evening Post currently possess with Nottingham Forrest ?
We don't care who is in charge or who will be controlling team affairs at AG on Saturday. We only care about Bristol City Football Club. Why are you reporting about Notts Forrest in the Bristol Evening Post ???”

“I would have prefered McCleish still in charge.
We are where we are and I'm more concerned about the injuries and Int call ups!”
