couldn't hear any noise from the new stadium like ninian
not saying there wasn't any mind
Ninian leaked noise. The design of the new stadium helps keep the noise in.
Which is great for the residents who don't like the noise pollution and great for the atmosphere as its nice and loud inside.
At one point McCormack was in the opposition half and still heard requests to do the ayatollah from Canton Stand. Thats impressive.

Our captain Hudson was the weak link at the back.
Gerrard had a good game and saved our bacon once or twice.
Quinn was really good too.
Marshall worried me once by not coming forward and narrowing the angle on what was looking to be a one on one encounter but we escaped on that occasion. Otherwise not a bad performance.

Great report Paul as always, cheers boss (on a pedantic point I thought it was Chops, not Jay who hit the post in the first half).
I found yesterday one of the most exhilarating days I have ever had at the City. I got in at 1415 (!) as I hadn't been there before and had a happy half hour (on the cider!) inside, even just the fact that we have wide concourses where you can have a pint without feeling hemmed in and covered in bodily waste was a massive improvement.
On the field, well we were unplayable and I think we would have done anyone in the division on that performance. Rossy was amazing, a furious, barnstorming dervish of a performance, yeah maybe crying out for Phil Brown to take him, but also channelling all his evident frustration in totally the right way. Best individual performance I have seen from a City player for ages, and chwarae teg to him for not just sulking and going missing, his direct, pacy running at defenders made him untouchable other than by the inevitable fouls and body checks he happily took. Chops is a funny one isn't he, he's one of the most in-and-out players of all time, so good luck to him if he gets on a run, his 2nd and our 3rd was just a brilliant goal.
McPhail was outstanding, which may be the first time that sentence has ever been written. The passage of play where he turned and spun himelf out of trouble deep in our half, to set up yet another attack, brought warm (and stunned!) applause from all four corners.
I liked the lad Quinn a lot, good going forward and yes Hudson and Gerrard looked good (let us not forget though that only a smart save prevented us goign behind after 18 seconds.
Overall just a brilliant day, brilliant performance. The Scunny lads on the train down from (and back to) Llundain had a rare old time, they loved the Cottage and other pubs in town but boy oh boy they looked shellshocked because on the field they were lucky to concede less than 8. They were worried it's gonna be like this every week but I told them not to worry cos everyone is shit compared to us ;-)
Get in there you beauties, I am still smiling now and you could not script a better start.
Cardiff City, I know I know I know you're gonna let me done but truly, I love you.

Funnier than he thinks he is.
I will agree, it was only Scunthorpe, but the style of play was a delight to watch. Any team would have struggled to hold us on saturday, we aren't going to leak many goals this season imho, the back four were like a brick wall-and in the case of Hudson not as quick, but what the hell.

DJ's comments on the first penalty 'attempt' by our Jay.
He's a bit miffed.
"Jay's run up for the first penalty was lazy and he tried to kid the goalkeeper. I wouldn't have been to disappointed if there had not have been a re-take because I thought it was an absolutely awful penalty and if I got my hands on him I would have throttled him. There's no need to do that. Just go up hit the ball and finish it, but by trying to be clever by walking to the ball and trying to kid the goalkeeper."

It was a surprisingly strong team tonight considering international duty which means thank god we have at last got a squad with some depth.
Only one YTS'er made it onto the pitch.
Some really class goals.
Cept for that pen. Reminded me of some of the crap penalties Chopra messed up for us with that stroll upto the ball shite.

I said before the season started that if McPhailure and Whitless could turn in a good season it would be like having two new players. So far I think they are two very good new players!!

Can't help but think that the 100% is superfluous there. We can't excatly be 99% undefeated can we?
Is it true that the Basement Jaxx took there name from Swansea City?
