A sell out crowd and the nervousness early on gave the game a cuptie sort of feel. It was a typical early season game, new faces getting to know each other ,a few problems with timing and the left hand didnt seem to know what the right hand was doing, and that was just the terraces. A large contingent of people who who had only ever seen city play at Wembley before meant that some of the usual chants lacked their usual bite, and it was a lacklustre display from the BB seating especially. The Do The Ayatollah requests to different parts of the ground were met with very mediocre displays and the grandstand patrons were unanimous in their boycott. There were some class moments tho, the stick giving to Dyer and Wright-Philips was worthy of Nininan at its best. "Where's my wallet gone, where's my wallet gone", "you're supposed to be in gaol" and "Darren, watch ya purse, Darren Darren watch ya purse". Classic of the day tho was " Next week you'll be someone's bitch"
Great songs indeed. Right up there with the Lee Hughes songs from a few years back.Happy with the 3 points. Saints played for a draw with 20 to go. The winner was fortunate but that's the way to do it. Too many draws has always been City's problem.
There were a few rucks in Grangetown after the match and I got bastard soaking. Apart from that it was a good day
