Cardiff City 2008-09

Sheff Utd and Brum have a difficult run-in.

A win for us at Preston and its game-on for automatic promotion.

I'll say it again,
automatic promotion
 
AAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Stood right down the front next to the goal, had cracking view, then my daughter needed the toliet and we could not get back to same spot.... goals started flying in but i could not see!

got some nice shots of crowd celebrating though
 
One hell of a match. We have to start McCormack up front instead of wasting his goal scoring boots on the wing. Stick him up front and bam bam in come the goals.

I was hoarse from singing at Palace. I have no voice left now.
The crowd really lifted the players aftwr a shakey start so well done all.

I dare not believe yet I can't help but believe. Premiership is within sniffing distance.
 
interview with DJ on the BBC Website..... interesting comments about Pallace.

"He (Jordan) has not made the call so i will tell him now that Roger is alright..... I have sent him the video with my compliments, he should have a look at it before he spouts off!"

Looks like Taylor is staying for a bit.:)
 
Take over rumours nonsense says Ris.

They appear to be doing the football club equivalent of shopping around for a cheaper mortgage (good idea whilst interest rates are low) and some hack had put 2 and 2 together to make 5.
 
Yesterday was a strange day.

Usually be it a saturday or an evening ko I have just a couple of hours from finishing work to ko. Yesterday I was up early and was kicking round the house not knowing quite what to do with myself. I was nervous, FA Cup final nervous, but then every game is a cup final now, we have to win 4 more cup finals and I think we will go up automatically.

The atmosphere was as intense as I can ever remember at NP. Even the old girl has changed her perfume at such a late time of life and PL odour even pervades her old terraces. Mindful of the other scores going our way when Blake equalised I could see a seasons hard work going down the pan, but I didnt even have time to get depressed as super Ross went and scored straight away. Great game, great result, but I was absolutely physically and mentally drained at the end of it.

I said earlier in the thread, about the end of Feb I think, that whatever happened we were in a rollercoaster of a ride, hang on and enjoy it. I never expected anything like this tho, if you could design a fairground ride which could give the same feeling of elation, desperation, anticipation, expectation and disappointment Thorpe Park would make you an instant millionaire many times over! Fasten ya seatbelts again guys and hang on tight.!!:)

Sounds good to me fella. If it wasn't for that shocker by City's on-loan keeper at your place the automatic place would be 2 points nearer ;)
 
Oh yeah that was a shocker, still the point was much welcomed!

I honestly think it's between you and Shef U now for the other automatic promotion spot......well thats still depending on Wolves keeping there feet on the ground that is, if they dont it still could be the 2 of you!

Bad mistake by the Jack Bastard that for sure, but the refereeing decision which actually awarded the goal when it hadnt crossed the line was worse.

People will inevitably look back at where we went wrong if we dont go up. I dont think we should look at the draws away at Reading, Wolves and Brum. We would have taken a point at these games at the start of the season, and recent late goals have made up for these glitches. the game which cost us was Sheff Utd at home, appalling refereeing against one of the worst teams to play at NP this year. A point in that game would, imho, have ensured we went up as things stand at the moment!
 
Nah, Wolves are there now mate. If City win away at Preston then an automatic spot could be on. That's a big ask though. Who knows? It's all good :)

Well theres still at least 3 games left for every one so theres still a whole load of situations that could crop up.

There's a better photo from the other side which shows the ballinside his foot, and his foot is only just on the line!
 
Anyway I couldnt believe he dropped that ball, what was he thinking?


What happened to him? He isnt still with you is he?

Oh and being as we are talking about City keepers what ever happened to Michael Oakes? I always liked him when he was playing for us he was a very steady player. He didnt deserve to loose his place to Paul Jones when we were in the Prem.

Not sure if his loan is for the rest of the season but he won't play for City again. He made another cock up at Norwich and that was his lot. Taylor is looking decent at the moment but would love young Schmeichel back.
 
Have we moved up another place yet?????

This is doing my head in, find myself looking at the league table every hour to work out what our chances of getting an automatic place are, looking at fixtures, working out who is going to beat who and checking to see if we have moved up the table without playing (wouldn't be the first time this season!)

I used to hate weeknds without football, international breaks and the like. Now I hate DAYS without football, I want us to play tonight and tomorrow night and the night after that. I want Sheff Wed away to be this saturday, with the last game at NP on friday night!:D
