Bristol City fans, you'll absolutely love him. He's going all the way to the top and you are a fantastic choice of club for the next stage of his development. A truly special talent.
@Carra23
C'mon Carra, 'the country' doesn't stop after the Premier League.
There are far worse-run clubs that suffer more detrimental consequences the further you go down the leagues.
The Southend situation right now is a serious example. Bury, Macc, Rushden & Diamonds, and so on...

94 mins were played, so pretty shocking outcome.
The entire game now has to be replayed due to the charlatan in black, all because he panicked.
Unfortunately, he’s one of many at this level that aren’t fit or competent enough to officiate professional football matches.
Today's mission: Defeat the League Two leaders👀
Reward: £67,000+ and a trip to The Hawthorns💰

Dejan Tetek has been a real revelation since returning to the starting XI this week.

A goal and assist in 70 minutes.
It was a joy to watch the game that has put the whole EFL on notice.
This is only the start for our Sinclair, what a talent.⭐️
Another completely dominant display against a supposed playoff-chasing side.
Our front three were practically unplayable.
Buzzing for Energiser Barham, deserved a reward. Frosty an underrated showing at LWB. Tetek so classy. Total football.

Taking a page out of Barton's backtracking book, I see. Smacks of desperation after your incompetence all day. The pitch looked totally unplayable at 3pm, and everyone knew it - get the tractor ready for next week 🤡
Had this on loop for about an hour.
Barham’s lob. Tolaj’s back heel assist. Stokes’ composure. Frost’s assist. Tolaj’s second. Glover’s cross.
High quality moments against L2 playoff chasers.

It would be more than £250k ‘all in’, including a substantial sell-on.
