Nogbad the Bad Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 I think the name 'Rob Elstob' will eventually be revered throughout the football world. It was a very shrewd early move to abbreviate his first name so that it rhymes with his surname. ROB el STOB. Absolutely superb. In fact i'd go so far as to say that if he does ( or should i say WHEN he does) become internationally lauded as a football genius he should give due credit to his parents for their foresight in giving him a Christian name that could be so suitably shortened. It strikes me he is the sort of humble man to do this automatically. The genius that is Mr. Elstob is nearing legend status at City already. Assuming his unrivalled progress continues, there's absolutely no doubt this football mastermind will soon be a household name the length and breadth of the globe.

The great man Elstob will be making an appearance on this web-site too Spot on steady. When Rob Elstob decides the time is right to leave his beloved City he'll be leaving Bristol far behind. Lets face it, he'll have his pick of any club in the world and it's not going to be the world's smallest. Anyway although he doesn't make a big thing of his detestation for the gas, it's always there bubbling just under the surface. Have you thought of launching an Official Rob Elstob Fan Club, steady? I think it is long overdue and it is the least City fans can do to show our appreciation of his magnificent contribution to the Club and perhaps even delay slightly his inevitable departure on his next stride to the highest pinnacle of the game. It's no exaggeration to say that the aura surrounding this truly emminent man, coupled with his legendary coaching prowess, would provoke an immense clamour and the membership would surely be several thousand strong within a couple of days, if not hours.

Journo Joe, it is good to see the media taking an interest in this story. Elstob is evidently front page as well as back page news. In fact, to my mind the circulation of all national newspapers would benefit greatly by filling each and every page exclusively with 'Elstob News' and retitle accordingly. As for The Master's early associations with the Club, i believe it was stated much earlier in this thread that Mr. Elstob started in the seemingly absurdly lowly position of ASSISTANT COACH TO CITY'S UNDER 10'S. Such has been his meteoric progress that Steady recently informed us of his progression to GENERAL MANAGER at City and clearly many are convinced his next logical step up will be to manage BRAZIL, as soon as he completes his vital scouting mission in Serbia. As well as this i notice from Homer he is also recognised in Somerset as the world's premier pub skittler, and in the world of motor sport is widely tipped to be the next World Champion. From being slightly sceptical at first, i am one of many thousands to be now completely convinced and almost overwhelmed by the genius that is ELSTOB, clearly one of the most remarkable men ever to walk this planet.

Guest steady1975 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Nogbad i have good and bad news regarding the leg-end that is Elstob, the good news is that Elstob actually returned from the scouting trip to Serbia late on Friday and he has found us a good Serbian talent called Krisichev Kalashnikov who Johnson is keen to sign. The bad news is that he was nearly beaten up 3 times over the weekend. Incident 1 was at the Charlton Inn Shepton mallet where bar stools where thrown around the pub, fortunately he wasn't sitting at his favourite bar stool and avoided being hit with a stool. 2nd was Saturday night at Shepton Firweworks display where things turned nasty as people were climbing through a hole in the fence to get in for free, the Round Table who hosted the event kicked off and Elston nearly got done again by them. Third and worst of all he had to go to Colston Hall with his assistant SP on Sunday to see Mike and the Mechanics in action and things turned really nasty.Rovers fans got wind of the fact Elstob would be turning up and planned an ambush, Elstob was about to get done over but thankfully he has an assistant in SP who was prepared to jump in the way and take the full force of a guitar in the face which enabled our hero to get away unscathed.

It is very worrying that groups of jealous Rovers fans are attempting to ambush Lord Elstob before he can complete his mission to lead City to the highest echelons of world football, and extremely gratifying to note his dedicated, if somewhat incontinent, chaperone Mr. Poole is willing to take the brunt of their unwelcome attentions. I'm worried things may escalate and he may even have to endure a tambourine attack at some stage in the future. Every true City fan must be grateful to SP for his selfless actions on behalf of our hero, and indeed he is fast rising to near pygmy status himself amongst the Elstob adoring thousands. It's very noticable that this outrage occurred at a Mike and The Mechanics concert rather than at one of our General Manager's skittling exhibitions where he would have swiftly upended the envious usurpers with his unerring balls. If they hadn't already skidded over on SP's anticipatory 'welcome mat', that is. This man, this legend, this ELSTOB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could certainly HOP to Swindon if he had a mind to. More likely he has decided to dictate General tactics to GJ via his mobile though there is huge irony that a training ground mishap may have incapacitated our hero rather than the motley collection of gas ambushers. It seems that Mr. Elstob's stated desire to "kick a few backsides" may have misfired, but City fans can be assured Our Marvellous Leader would have got his point across very forcefully beforehand and this must certainly show in an ELSTOB- inspired City performance tonight.

He was training Murray personally and he scored our only goal at Swindon and secondly he couldn't travel too the game and we lost.Johnson is going to "looking back over his shoulder" in case Elstob gets given the manager's job by Landsdowne.

Johnson has given this special task to his right hand man Elstob and i say 100% that Stewart will score tomorrow and it will all be down to ElstobElstob = Marcus Stewart's training manager.Legend Unbelievably exciting Elstob-related news coming out of the Gate this week steady. This Marcus Stewart news, hard on the heels of the Roberto Elstobio coup, is really lifting the gloom. There again the future will always be bright while the club has the good fortune to have the mercurial Rob Elstob as it's heartbeat. I too think that Marcus Stewart will benefit hugely from this special training from a man who will undoubtedly be the best coach he will ever have worked under. I take Marcus to bag a brace against Chesterfield now and just watch him run to celebrate with The Master General afterwards. Can't wait - Ashton Gate will be rocking as never before as the City fans rise as one to salute their prodigal hero: ELSTOB ELSTOB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest steady1975 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Elsob and Johnson had a blazing row on Saturday, Elstob is furious with Johnson's tactics and rumours are rife that Landsdowne is going to give the manager's job to Elstob.Rumours from the corridors of Ashton Gate are that if Elstob isn't given a more senior role at the club then he may look to move away from City to maybe Liverpool, Man Utd or Chelsea where Abramovich who is a close mate wants him to lead Chelsea.Elstob has said he needs 48 hours of drinking, skittling and being with his coffee table before he makes a desicion. Watch this space, Elstob is revolting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Homer Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 (edited) Rumor has it that Elstob has recently been working with Hulk Hoggan and Andre the Giant.Unfortunately Hulk has lost a bit of his enthusiasm for doing just about anything but Andre is still firing on all cylinders. He reported that these two legend clash on a regular basis often refereed by Rick Astley!Another Rumor I have heard is that Elstob (The Great One) is trying to arrange an american style wrestling match featuring the two wrestling legends. Unfortunately Hulk and Andre have both put in a bit of weight since their glory days.P.S SP enjoyed watching them get changed before the bout!

Guest steady1975 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Bumped into Steve Landsdowne in Asda over the weekend and he said that Elstob has walked out on Johnson, they had a furious row over a coffee table session and Elstob feels as though he's been crapped on.Landsdowne has been checking the snooker clubs of Somerset to try and find our hero but thinks Johnson has pushed him too far, Elstob could leave the City coaching team and go back to his first love of Skittling.Elstob said "no one craps on me, i do the dumping on people round here". let's hope for all our sakes that Elstob comes back to City or else we could all be in the doo doo.

Brianred Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 At last the hordes of City doubters are converting to the new faith that is Elstobism - a chant around the ground would get the great man to rise from his seat. I have been thinking of getting an announcement ovet the tannoy but a chant around the ground sounds better.I can reveal EXCLUSIVELY (Clue 1) that the leg-end that is Elstobism sits in the Atyeo stand.I would chant from the East End, but it's closed on me!

Guest steady1975 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Climb into the East End and take a large banner saying "Rob Elstob to be manager - so say the East End Terry Webb appreciation society"Elstob has declared he is coming back to City, Landsdowne talked him round and our legend is back today taking the boys through there paces.

Guest steady1975 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Elstob held a talk session at the training ground today and explained to the lads that although we lost 2-0 to Donny Rovers, they did beat Aston Villa 3-0 last night. He went on to say that this is pure evidence that this proves City are better than Villa and are really a mid-table Premiership side. This went down well with the lads and will inspire them to victory over Bradford they all said. Elstob has also been speaking to Landsdowne and Johnson about getting Tommy D back, Elstob was instrumental in Tommy's career at City and would be reason enough for Tommy to come back.
