Actually Bristol City have always claimed to be sleeping giants and after their long awaited promotion to the Championship last season Gary Johnson's team has taken the Division by storm and good luck to them. As a GasHead (a Bristol Rovers fan) all I can say is that Paul Trollope and Lennie Lawrence the Management duo have instilled in the Rovers team a sense of self belief and confidence. It's the work ethic that surged Rovers to promotion and is now seeing something similar this season. It’s proably because Bristol Rovers have a Massive Attack, yes they are from Bristol too!

Bristol City needed a goal in the 95th minute just to get a home draw against Crystal Palace. Bristol City is now in 3rd place in the Championship, one point behind Stoke and Watford. The finish to that one, though, kind of makes me glad I blow the cash on Setanta Sports. And wouldn’t you know it?

So it seems to be a bit of an anomaly to me.

Surely this is because the soil is so fertile from Cardiff fans heeding their own song and remembering to "always $#!+ on the English side of the bridge." Speaking of which, where is the love for my Bluebirds, one of the most drama-filled, dysfunctional, interesting clubs in the English pyramid, not least of which for the fact that they aren't even English and ARE the only club that would NOT be able to play in the UEFA Cup if they win the darn thing and take it back to Wales.

Nice note about Portishead AFC, by the way. It’s always been a bit of mystery to me why Bristol — England’s sixth largest city — hasn’t been the home to a perennially successful club.
