Bristol City are doing very well at the moment. I live in Bristol and it’s both amusing and nice to see the locals getting so excited about football again. Well...South Bristol anyway.

They are doing well, fair enough. Would you say that they are a good side though?
Whoever goes up with Wolves is going to struggle massively I reckon.
Well in all honesty if Bristol City are doing well it’s usually a sign that the quality has dropped. If they go up I’d expect them to go down, but talking to some of the locals they frequently mention how the team has been purposefully populated with 6 foot + powerful players that make them hard to break down and decent from set-pieces (attacking and defending).
It’s interesting how the Championship is evolving. We know it’s a physical league, but I think the bigger teams going down to their level (and Villa) have forced them to develop a tactical style that utilises the traditional strengths of the Championship in a way that combats the Prem teams.
Plus for a club like Bristol City every game would be a cup game, especially at Ashton Gate. The reaction from some of their fans after beating United was like they’d personally landed on the moon
Ahab
Thanks to the stupid schedulers we don't have a game for 6 days, then 3 in the space of 5
Heard on TalkSquawk that it was a mixture of the Police only being able to provide sufficient manpower for 46k on 31/12 and Levy insisting on a full house so fixture was bounced to the 4th
Adrian Durham no less
Turns out the fact we're playing on Tuesday has helped us. With Harry being ill he has longer to recover.

When the OP is binnned before kick off is never a good sign.
Doesn't make us look like we're a bunch of pre pubescent dorks at all.It’s a fucking word , it has nothing to do with us winning , losing or drawing a game , ya bunch of pagans . Maybe we should sacrifice a swan in order to guarantee 3 points
No sir.
Suddenly this game has become as difficult as difficult can be.
4-0 to us. Easy peasy.
On form, rested and no mistakes there is no reason we shouldn't win this although won't be easy.I hope your jesting?
If we’re fully focused and relentless in our application then we’ll win easily.
Not sure about easy? Its all about confidance, with Swansea result yesterday, they be be up for it.
If someone decides to use an adjective to describe how they feel about their team , I don’t see what’s wrong with that .
Next match thread I start it’ll be “ The Splendiferous Spurs”
This.
We need to go into this match expecting a war and taking Swansea seriously. If not we will lose or draw. Like every other time we don't take the opposition seriously and have our minds on other stuff
That would be an improvement, particularly if it were the match thread in an episode of Poldark
Its probably a good thing they won yesterday-gives us a clear indication with whats in store for us . A revitalise Swansea, they've had 6 months rest, they will be up for, it I'm sure. We need to be on our game 100% no errors.
This is also the second time recently we've had a full week to train without a game and I think that helps Poch get his ideas across to the players.
Swansea are awful and a sneaked win against a Watford side that is dropping through the league like a stone doesn’t mean we should be worried about this match.
Earlier this season, the Woolwich match thread was full of people saying we’d smash them into next week and now this one has everyone saying that Swansea is a tough match. Us Spurs fans are a strange breed, that’s for sure.
