Re: Bristol City My Arse

I have the same feelings whoever we play wether it be Man city or Mansfield. Over the moon if we win or gutted if we lose, every team is the enemy.

Well on a base level I think the belief that for 90 minutes , football is war , is a fair appraisal

Absolutely

Re: Bristol City My Arse

All these people saying Bristol but don't think I've ever heard an anti Bristol song at a cardiff game in 40 years. Whereas songs about swansea are several times every game home and away. Odd.

It’s the youth in the canton singing though, for them it is swansea….

I can't read, I can't write....gets a bit of an outing.

Re: Bristol City My Arse

I find it laughable when people try to suggest Bristol and not Swansea are our main rivals

It's actually quite embarrassing

And it makes us look so pathetic when we try to pretend it means more to them than us

The atmosphere has turned raaaaathhhheeeer saaaauurrrrrr.

Disappointing season all round for both teams.

Back in the 70s, we used to sing "we hate Bristol City; we hate Swindon Town..."

(Swindon Town? ?? )

Swansea 2 divisions below us were never mentioned.
Current rivalry is, well, current - only built up since the millenium, bmaybe, with the media eager to promote "the South Wales derby".

The 'song' you are referring to went like this, to the tune of 'Land of Hope & Glory':

We hate Nottingham Forest
We hate Swindon too (and Bristol)
We had Man Utd
But Keee-aarrdiff
We Love you

Re: Bristol City My Arse

I was 10 years old when, with the help of my dad, I won a competition with Shredded Wheat. The prize was to spend the day with a 'top football team', join in with a training session and to have lunch with the players at a top restaurant.

I had been dreaming of a trip to one of the top teams' ground for weeks with my dad and the day finally came. Bristol fu**ing City!! The day was made somewhat brightened by a certain Bobby Gould's strop on the training pitch arguing with his team mates which continued into the restaurant. Gould was sat next to me and my dad while he told the manager, Alan Dicks, to repeatedly "fu** off". Whereupon my dad told him to "stop swearing in front of my son, shut up before I shut you up". Probably my favourite moment with my dad :)

Great story, I'm all for anyone who has a go at Gould.

"shut up before I shut you up" that used to be a good saying.

We never sang about Forest in the early 70s.

The first two lines of our version were anti - Bristol and Swindon.

Re: Bristol City My Arse

You are very much in the minority

You are probably right here. It doesn't stop me disliking the Wurzels with a vengeance and remain ambivalent at best about the jacks though

I quite like Bristol some nice birds there, and I definately like Bristols

That song did begin with hating Nottingham Forest. I should know, I sang it enough.
