Etherington Leaves City
Rumours that Peter Etherington have left the Club because his cheque bounced have been refuted by the Club.
An imaginative Club spokesman said
“We had a special event with BantamsBet. The bet was that if City’s first eleven beat Peter, he would double his investment. Unfortunately, Peter beat City 4-1”
The spokesman continued“However, there is a silver lining as the odds on BantamsBet were so good maybe somebody at City made some money that day”

City Eye Next Transfer Target
City are reportedly ready to sign Boston United’s head steward. As revealed on the Boy From Brazil this steward seems capable of taking City’s stewards to a new level. He may also be able to play at left back. One of City’s top steward recruiters, posing as a supporter, tested the steward with a range of provoking items. Full story on the BFB (http://www.boyfrombrazil.co.uk/news.asp?date=20060722)
A Great City Win at Boston!
A great 44 minutes at Boston United saw City set out their stall for the upcoming season. City’s dominance was only rewarded by one lunging tackle by DW and City must have thought they would have more potential season ending tackles to show for their hard work. SS put the ball into that funny oblong thing with a net on it and confusion amassed when the remaining 2 Boston players blatantly handled the ball and moved up to the center circle with no action from the referee.
Why most of the Boston players went home at half time is unknown and City claim the match ended in the 89th minute.
With this great performance back City to get promotion on BantamsBet! You’re a sure winner!! You have to be! We are almost giving it away with odds like ours on a sure team like City to get promotion so BET BET BET!

Matt Clarke “Itching to go”
Matt Clarke is waiting for the green light to begin his Bradford City career for real.
The big central defender is hoping that a scan on Monday will clear him to finally start his departure from Bradford City.
“I can’t wait to start playing so the gaffer can play me out of position, leave me on the bench, drop me to the junior team and send me out on loan back to Darlington. I have heard rumours that Premier newcomers Southend will be interested in taking me on trial in a couple of years.”

CT happy with Cooke's performance at Shrews
CT did not speak briefly about the performance of his new left back Andy Cooke.
CT: "I thought Andy had a good game yesterday. Andy really keeps himself to himself and I didn't even see him in the team bus, hotel or even in the dressing room before the game. He has been largely absent from the team for the last 5 months and I had forgotten about him, but it was good to see him pop up and nod in the winner. I suppose thats the last goal we'll see from him for another 3 months."
Andy Cooke, on trial at Shrewsbury Crown Court, is due to appear in court charged with wasting all of our time for 18 months. After last nights game Ben Hurd is assisting the police with accusations of supplying a decent cross to Cooke. Hurd has denied the charges saying it was an honest mistake and that anybody could easily cross against City's weak defence.

Windass in confident mood for another ban
DW has not told the BCO of his confidence of matching his five game ban again this season.
DW: "I've looked at the fixture list and I see a couple of possibilities to 'have a few words' with referees after games. I was thinking of just keeping the potential encounters to games at VP, but looking at the Brighton game in November that could be good potential. I've always envied the car parking facilities at Brighton and with all that sea air I'm confident I can time my departure from the ground to meet the 'man in the middle' besides the broken down Lada".
DW did not continue "The first couple of pre-season games have really given me the urge to try and get banned again. I was a little bit down in the post season thinking I wouldn't make it, but running around the park and eyeing the ref from time to time has really given me a boost in confidence."
DW was not asked about what he plans to say to referee's this season.
DW: " I got my ban for criticising the referees wife's Lemon Sorbet recipe and I added that her sister made a better one. Having watched the World Cup final I am practising the same phrase ... but in Italian".
Rumours that Stuart McCall will make the bonfire night weekend a memorable one at Brighton by making a "fall off the car" comeback have been refuted by Neil Warnock's suit.

Deja Vue?
In what could be a worse piece of writing than the City website claiming there is a place called "Benidrom", CT has let a vital piece of information out to the world that could give opposing sides a way to defeat City this season. Yes, City's pre-season form is showing that they are going to be as inconsistent as last season .. and the season before.
CT, speaking from the same taped recording used repeatedly in the last couple of years, said : "We've gone from one extreme to another. On Saturday we started off very brightly, played with purpose and moved the ball well but last night the passing was poor and we kept giving the ball away."
(here there is a pause as the City spokesman presses "stop" on the tape player, then play, then rewind, then play again, fast forward, then play)
CT continues "We couldn't penetrate and there were too many people making elementary passing mistakes. It wasn't the heat, we just let our standards slip."
Again the City spokesman fumbles around with the tape recorder and then plays a seemingly new, unreleased track.
CT: ""I'm trying to install good habits into them and one thing we must learn is that when we are losing, I've got to see more application and determination."
This last statement have taken many of me at the BCO by surprise. Is this a clever new tactic? Scare the opposition by making them believe that if they take the lead City will show 'application and determination' ... neh! 'MORE application and determination'.
City fans can only take heart from this last comment.
Or not.

TexasBantam's tour of the World Cup
Pictures from my trip to Germany can be found here or on the Links section in the menu to the left.
Praise Due to City!
I must say the decision taken to turn down Lee McEvilly on medical grounds must be applauded. City are short of players and many may have been tempted to sign Mr. LM (we'll call him Johnson#3). Hurrah for such foresight from City's long serving physio Steve Redmond. I hope somebody had a flutter on BantamsBet and went away with a small fortune!!
Well done City!
Of course, all of me here at BCO wish Mr. LM a speedy recovery. Yes, Mr. LM, have a speedy recovery so you can leave the Racecourse Ground soon and snub the Wrexham supporters once again.
Todd fury as agent scuppers loan move
Fuming Colin Todd has blasted the role of Kevan Hurst's agent after the left winger's loan move to Bradford City was hijacked.
Todd had pencilled in the Sheffield United midfielder's arrival at Valley Parade for Monday morning to begin a six-month stint. But instead Hurst has gone back to Chesterfield, where he spent the whole of last season.
Todd was furious and claims the move only broke down because the club refused to pay an agent's fee for the loan.
Not talking to the Telegraph & Argus he said: "Six weeks ago we were told that the player was definitely coming to Bradford and now all that time has been wasted because of one person.
"As a matter of principle, I placed a bet on BantamsBet at 10/1 against and was set to make a killing. Then I got a phone call on the way home from the agent to say he had bad news and I knew what was coming.
"I can understand losing out on players but not on a bet as sure as that.
Missing out on Hurst means that Todd has to start from scratch again in his hunt for a sure winner on BantamsBet and you too should do the same BET BET BET.

What the Frenchies Ordered
In a startling coup of unrivaled imagination, the BCO has obtained the hotel receipt showing "the extras" that has (rightly) angered the management at BCFC. The hotel room was strangely booked not under the Frenchmen's real names. The BCO is looking into that totally unimportant fact.
Room 26 - Name: Les Johnsons.
Room rate (withheld)
Extras:
17 extra bottles of hotel shampoo
Pay per view move : AMéLIE FROM MONTMARTRE
1 copy of French/English dictionary
1 copy of "Roy of the Rovers"
Room service: 1 house salad "Zizu head butt special" with chicken.
Room service: 2 bottles Perrier
In room Pedicure "Morecambe Special"
