This guy is starting to give it large.
According to this mornings Daily Mail he has issued a 'catch us if you can' taunt to Brizzles promotion chasing rivals.

I'd say being 3 points clear of the top of the championship would mean your entitled to give it large.

It's the opposite on what Tony did and he could end up with egg on his face but I do like the old positive approach myself.  |

This guy is starting to give it large. According to this mornings Daily Mail he has issued a 'catch us if you can' taunt to Brizzles promotion chasing rivals. "I basically told them to give it a go, but it was loud with a few bleeps," Johnson said. "It was in people's ears and in their faces. "I told them that they were a bit posey in the first half - doing their flicks. That perhaps they'd been reading their own publicity. My only problem is that I can't get that angry before the game." Darren Ambrose appeared to have fired Charlton back into the hunt for an automatic return to the Barclays Premier League with a smart opener but McCombe capped a much-improved second half show by City, which delighted Johnson. The defender's header – his third goal in four games - was less spectacular than his overhead-kicked winner against Hull four days ago but it was no less important. With Watford threatening to pass City, the 25-year-old Players' Player of last season maintained City's Coca-Cola Championship lead of three points and left his manager beaming. "I'm delighted and proud of my boys," Johnson added. "We're going about our business quietly and humbly - even if I'm not. The pressure is on teams like Charlton, Watford and West Brom. Not us." Nothing wrong there! Where is he 'giving it large'? |

He's probably mentioned those three clubs because they're ex-Premiership and under more pressure to get back there than Bristol City and Stoke because of the expectancy of their supporters.
Can't see too much wrong with what he's said to be honest.

Can't see too much wrong with what he's said to be honest. Spot on. He was also referring to the teams that had the parachute payments ect hence no mention of Stoke. |

Yep, Gary Johnson seems like a decent bloke - He's right that the pressure is on them three because they should be walking it and not be having to compete with us and Brizzle!

I don't think he's that daft to taunt. Brizzle's unspectacular run has now got em 3 points clear, cos everyone else is madly inconsistent, so even if they are crap or lucky, they ARE in the clear.
Also - Arrogance NEVER pays in football. It leaves you exposed. Just ask the England 'football' Players.

I like Johnson and hope that Bristol city do get promoted ( behind stoke of course ) . Surely championship manager of the year will go to either our Tone or Gary johnson . hopefully Tone will pip him to that as well as the league title  |

I'd say being 3 points clear of the top of the championship would mean your entitled to give it large. Id say being 3 points away at the top means it quite likely they will be caught |
