    The dazzling technicality of Bristol City's football has just left me in awe. I can't comprehend it. If it were possible to combine Barcelona at their best with jazz fusion and progressive metal, you still wouldn't be close to how technical that was. Wow.

    they very nearly did a job on us, they're in the top 6, their top goalscorer has scored more than twice as many as ours and they've conceded less. they're doing alright, to be fair..

    You're right Marc, but Christ they were a horrible bunch and dreadful to watch.

    POMO, spin zone etc. etc.

    Wasn't fun was it. Although after they got in front we found it extremely difficult to get the ball from them. A game we really should have won, but I was very thankful for the point.

    One of the most frustrating games I've watched and we played some bloody good football. Bristol and the referee ruined it for me. I'd completely lost my rag with the whole thing by the end.

    I'm so pleased for them. Not surprising they're doing so well playing that ultra sophisticated brand of football.

    Me too. Our equaliser currently stands as my favourite goal of the season.

    If we'd got that result, people would be on here saying it was brilliant that we could play ugly and pick up points away from home.

    The word on the street is they play that way home and away.

    Me three. I've not been that distraught at a match in years. Perhaps since Liverpool at home. It was incredulous how we were chasing that game given the opportunities we carved out and the officials just compounded the feeling of frustration for me. I spent most of the last 20 minutes with my head in my hands, contemplating my love of football in general. Emotionally exhausted by the end. Still absolutely galled that we didn't come away with maximum points. They should feel very very fortunate with a point.

    They were a big dirty ***** team though let's be honest. Our almost reserve team should have beaten them relatively easily. I presume yesterday was a blip because other than Rothham they were the poorest team we've faced by quite some margin.

    As a jazz - metal Barnsley FC fan, this is the the thread I have been dreaming of.... add the words Barcelona and large Bristols & I am in a pre ejaculatory state ...

    Oops, i've just come.

    It'll be interesting to see where they are after 23 games when everybody's played each other. At the moment they've only played three games against other teams in the top 8 and lost them all.
