The beauty of supporting Bristol City is that you never have to check a league table. We're 12th. And if we're not 12th for some reason the universe will ensure that we return to 12th as soon as possible.

Here’s a sentence I never thought I’d hear…
San Marino who are in fine form recently, join Group H.

Sweeney Todd, a haunted Ian Holloway and Vanuatu’s loo roll sponsorship (also Wales and Scotland). Yes, it’s the final pod of the international break. @maxrushden.bsky.social @barryglendenning.bsky.social @paul-c-watson.bsky.social @benfisherj.bsky.social

Uganda play Congo at 4pm and a return to his old employer for Belgian coach Paul Put. He has one of those incredible CVs where his next job could be just about anywhere. Except Cambodia, I suppose.
Paul Put's Wikipedia entry CV shows he has coached Geel, Lokeren, Lierse, Mouscron, Gambia, Burkina Faso, Jordan, USM Alger, Kenya, Xinjiang Tianshan Leopard, Guinea, Saif SC, Congo and Uganda.

A moment of ecstasy and also existential panic now surely for San Marino's fan club the 'Brigata 1 Una Gioia' or 'Never Any Joy Brigade' who used to pride themselves on never seeing their side win. They'll have to find a new team - Man City maybe?
The San Marino fans go crazy after beating Liechtenstein in Vaduz!

You see when people moan about international breaks being boring I have to suspect they aren't watching Papua New Guinea v Fiji, North Korea v Iran and Niger v Sudan. Amazing day so far!

It may be just the start of a long day of international football but Oceania has already served up some incredible drama in World Cup qualifiers! 🇳🇨 New Caledonia winning 3-2 over Solomon Islands. 🇵🇬 🇫🇯 Papua New Guinea and Fiji draw 3-3 with goals for both sides after in stoppage time.

Great chance for a fresh start this. I can finally admit I never actually liked football.
