Bradford City at home

You missed his first Welcome to the Club presser then Snoots? He's not totally gone away.

Gone back to the actual pre-match presser with questions from Radio Local, Mr. Chicken, Mr. Wobschall et al that they could never previously edit properly and put it on their own YouTube site in a decent amount of time. God knows why with all the folk with iPads sat in the stands that could analyse to the second how hard every player was working. Never understood why they wanted to control the narrative other than it gave them as much time as they needed to edit it and leave the embarrasing/hard questions out in the first place. The joys of media company sponsorship. Good because folk in furrin lands need to fart around with VPN's to hear the BBC Radio Local version (or find Mr. Chicken's website) as we don't want furriners listening to the BBC anymore do we? Free loading non-payers of the licence fee that they are. Make 'em pay to listen to the free press. What's right with that idea?

It's on the original post underneath the Liam Manning profile.

Which i suppose was a cosy chat. But not like the ones Raj had with his best buddy Lee.

Apologies Snoots - must do better with my 'O' Level revision in thread reviews.

Anyroad, at least they kept it down to 10 minutes. The Head Chicken Plucker apparently went on for 35 minutes on his presser. When I saw the time bar on the vid I thought, I don't have the will to live through that. I've never met a Bradford fan that could talk about Bradford for more than 15 minutes, let alone City.

Best half of football I've seen us play all season. Plus several of the last few seasons.

Another great first half in which we should've been more than 1-0 up. We have had many similar great first halves this season, how will the second half go and will Liam Manning be able to manage the game better than Lee Grant would've? One of the main criticisms of Grant was his negative subs in the second half with the team sitting back and allowing the opposition to dictate.

Keep on the front foot and batter them bantamweights.

Three subs for City at half time.

McGuane

Humphreys on for May.

Managed it well enough given the circumstances. McGuane looks class. But a right hot head.

Well, he can cool his heels on Tuesday.
