No, he said he "feels" for them. Come on, don't split hairs like that.

I'm not the one splitting hairs trying to claim jod said something that he didn't say

Do you even know what splitting hairs means?

You obviously don't if you claim I am...

Hint: Claiming someone "didn't say something" when they said precisely that, just using a slightly different word is hair splitting.

 

[Cruyff14]

Is someone able to explain how jod saying he feels for Bristol not mean he feels sorry for them?

 

[kreglze]

0-0 will take that Stamford bridge.

Bit of a cagey affair, think we'll be the happier of the two teams especially considering how weak of a team we had on the pitch. VAR seemed to do it's job, although overturning an incorrect decision will be the bit litmus test.

Interested to see what any Chelsea fans who thought that Bellerin on Hazard was definitely a penalty think of this. Almost identical amount of contact in the same part of the body, no penalty called by ref and confirmed by VAR.

I was thinking the same thing. Would the decision have been reversed if a penalty was given? The circumstances were near identical to the Hazard penalty that was awarded.

Do away goals count for extra in these ties?

 

[Cruyff14]

Yes.

Only at the end of extra time. Not after 90 mins.

So if Bristol City win 1-0 then hold on through ET they win?

Yep. It's a unique rule to the league cup. I like it as I am not the biggest fan of the away goals rule.

He needs service
Hazard better pull the finger out because it looks like his hearts at Madrid

It must be the lower standards of training and expectations kicking in.

But also depends on what they're feeding him. When I was watching him he was only getting fed a scrap or 2 every now and then from their fullback.

Probably burnt out from not getting his winter break like those pussies in the rest of Europe do

Amazing you're still holding on mate.

 

[RossFC]

Congrats Man City on making the final.

Arsenal vs Chelsea tomorrow.

 

[peternorth]

Thank you Bristonians for the ride.

Question, Man City are known as the Cityzens, or Citizens. How about Bristol? Swansea? Hull? Stoke? etc?

 

[moomba]

Cityzens

Blues as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Fryer Tuck]

Well, darn. Good try Bristol C!

On the bright side, 6th place is now guranteed Europa. Either we or a big 6 needs to win the FA Cup now.

Thank you Bristonians for the ride.

Robins, Swans/Jacks, Tigers, Potters, Leicester be the Foxes, Cardiff be the Bluebirds, Norwich be the Canaries, and Birmingham be... Brummed out of the Championship. (Much better than Blues, their actual nickname)

Cityzens

Blues as far as I'm concerned.

Moonchester.
