Forever Bristol City Podcast

The panel celebrate England's win over Mexico which is arguably one of the best results in the competition since winning it in 1966. Current transfer activity at Ashton Gate is also assessed. Is the squad any stronger and when are, if at all, contracts going to be signed by Bird, Knight? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

DaveP is joined by Neil Sutton & Ant Banks as they assess the World Cup so far in the aftermath of England's dismal second game against Ghana. The 26/27 fixtures are also digested in terms of who, when, tough runs and more precisely can City accumulate 17-18 points from the first 10 games rather than face playing catch up. Also debated is this the summer of the Sam - Morsy gone, Bell resigned...

Dave Tovey hosts the debate with a little bit on City but much more on the upcoming World Cup. Personal memories from the finals going back to 1966 and lots more Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's looking like Elphick for the HC role which we're broadly happy with. Galling to see Yu assist in getting the Tigers where we want to be. We discuss this and more although we forgot to give our view on Southampton's punishment! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Stoke gifted City the opening goal inside 90 seconds with Burgzorg tucking the ball away in what will hopefully be his last appearance for the club. Vitek kept his 14th clean sheet of the season whilst Sam Bell staked a claim for a new contract with his 5th goal of the season in under 400 minutes of playing time. Dave Tovey hosts the debate on match action and more with Dave P, Ant Banks & Tom...

DaveP debates the action from a disappointing afternoon in the midlands with Dave Tovey, Paul Hunt & Neil Sutton. Talk also focuses on overplaying players and the continuance of a seeming lack of progress in hiring the Sporting Director Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Despite twice allowing the Saints to draw level this was a good performance against a Southampton team who still have hopes of automatic promotion. The much maligned Delano Burgzorg put in his best display so far in a City shirt to such a level that it brought favourable words from Roy Hodgson. Two games to go before the season's end, DaveP discusses with DaveT, Ant Banks & Liam Healy how much...

DaveP is joined by Dave Tovey, Richard Angell and Tom "Robins Nest" in reviewing the second half collapse against the Canaries after a decent first half which saw City go in a goal up at the break. There is strong discussion around the seeming lack of progress on hiring a Sporting Director with the owner subject to more lambasting! The mood is lightened by author Neil Palmer talking about his late...

Roy remains unbeaten but at what point do you not persist with players who won't be here next season. Dave P debates the action and more with Ant Banks & Dave Tovey Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Victory by a narrow margin but a disciplined performance. Attention switches to what, if any, developments will take place this week with the crucial off field appointments of Sporting Director & Head Coach Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A most welcome 3 points as City secured a deserved win at the Valley. It also meant Roy Hodgson, at the start of his second spell in charge secured a first win in 44 years, 1 month and 4 days. There were some solid performances in most areas of the pitch but an early chance squandered by Riis and Armstrong's two late failings showed where City need to improve next season. Hodgson drawing all the m...

No-one could have predicted Roy Hodgson being announced as Caretaker boss following the announcement of Gerhard Struber's sacking. City made the national news headlines with this move but it is a strange one. Struber leaving was not such a surprise when you look at it from a results perspective alone. Lots to talk about in this very full episode. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more inf...

Dave P reviews the action from a disappointing game at Ashton Gate with Dave Tovey, Paul Hunt & Richard Angell. The proposed appointment of a Sporting Director is also a debated point. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Owner Steve Lansdown elected to use his private jet and fly in to watch this one. There were some amongst the fanbase thinking a heavy defeat against 2nd placed Boro might see Struber sacked for poor form and his media mutterings about lack of investment. What the fans were treated to was a spirited performance from the team that showed their Austrian boss has not lost the dressing room and they t...

Another defeat for City as this season disintegrates before our eyes at an alarming rate. Conceding first for the 9th successive game, at 0-2 down with half an hour gone based on current form that meant game over. City were awarded their first penalty away from Ashton Gate in almost 3 years on the hour. Riis's shot was weak making it an easy save for the keeper. If that had gone in then the home s...

The Sky Blues second goal in first half time added on killed the game for City. Up to that point, despite tailing to another poorly defended goal, they had played well and with Coventry down to 10 men a draw was perhaps the least City might have expected against the league leaders. It wasn't to be and with the 5 minutes added on already spent Coventry capitalised or more defensive inadequacy to do...

Words cannot express how poor City were last night as they crashed out of the FA Cup to lowly Port Vale. The season is over Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dave P reflects on another loss at Ashton Gate with Dave Tovey, Ellie Jones & Katy Fugill. Trailing to an early goal City deservedly drew level before a limp second half performance saw the Hornets take all three points with an unstoppable strike from Ngakia. Playoff challenge is all but over so attention now focuses on the FA Cup Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

City took 3 points away from their visit to Ewood Park and it was fully deserved. Heads did not drop after conceding an early goal and they produced some sparkling football to go in at half time in front thanks to fine goals from Riis & Twine. They fought a rear guard action for most of the second half with Vitek producing good saves when it mattered. DaveP debates the action with Dave Tovey &...

A disappointing afternoon in South Wales. If Armstrong's shot goes in early on rather than hit the post it's a different game but Swansea continued their impressive home form when poor defending by City allowed them to score the only goal of the game after 25 minutes. A debut from Eile that showed promise but more bad than good as play off hopes ebb away. Only 11 points from the past 10 games! Dav...

Two cracking goals from Armstrong & Bird ensured City took a point which was a minimum requirement on the night. A dreadful first half and some appalling refereeing decisions are amongst the many topics DaveP debates with the panel Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

City bounced back from the Derby disaster to end Hull's unbeaten run with a wholly deserved win at the MKM Stadium. Despite falling behind in a game in which they had started well, goals from Rob Atkinson & Ross McCrorie before the break put City in front. The third on 48 mins came from a classy moved finished off by Riis for his 11th of the season and whilst a Vitek error presented Hull the c...

DaveP & guests assess the January transfer window activity, Steve Lansdown's Radio Bristol interview, and whether City can get their performance levels up to their early season form and in so doing make a charge for 5th or [more likely] 6th position over the final 16 games. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The 0-5 home defeat against Derby was bad enough but the outpouring of self righteousness from the club owner's interview on Radio Bristol made it a night to remember for all the wrong reasons. Players & manager should have done a lot better but the mood instilled by that interview was summed up by the mass exodus from the ground when the Rams scored their 3rd with half an hour remaining and t...

After a dull first half City despatched Wednesday to another defeat with a couple of well taken goals. It was expected and quelled an undercurrent of dissatisfaction that had been building through the week on the back of poor results and a perceived view that as far as the board is concerned this season is done. That view is based on the exodus of players culminating in Mehmeti's move to Ipswich....
