I was loving listening to the fans singing 'we're the famous cardiff city and we're off to wembley'.

even the commentators were banging on about 'this is the start of the road to wembley and we were there'

In case anyone interested, I wrote a piece for When Saturday Comes' website, previewing yesterday's game, reflecting on where City are at after last season, etc. Here:

Nice one!

 

[1927]

We're only one place behind the Jacks!

stat alert.....

BBC.. Cardiff City have never won the first three fixtures of a league season in their 91-year league history.... until now of course!

 

[Clint Iguana]

We're only one place behind the Jacks!

and as of today we are 12 pages ahead of them in the urban75 thread league

This season is already gripping me like a season doesnt usually do until October or later. It is already obvious that this season is probably going to be the hardest year yet for getting out of the championship, all the fancied runners and riders are going well and even some of the outsiders are making the running. A game against Brighton a week into the season would not usually be considered massive, but i think this one could well be described as such. I havent looked forward to a game against the bin bag looters since the days of Earnie and Zamora going head to head for top goal scorer in the lower leagues.

 

[Gromit]

They outplayed us and deserved the win.

Still more work to do.

Replacing Hudson would be a start imo.

 

[1927]

Malky Out!

Dave Jones in!

 

[Gromit]

Eddie May shake it all about.

Heaven Helps us!! Child abuse if ever I saw it !!

 

[Placid Casual27]

That is one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen. Joe, and Ledley, were the first two words my eldest could ever spell, thanks to (sanitised) renditions of our song for him

No disrespect to Huddersfield, in fact the opposite, but good to see we can put out a second string against Div1 opposition and do well, so far atleast!

 

[1927]

Doh!

Boy did we scrape that. 2-3 down with an equaliser two minutes in injury time - and then we went on to win 5-3!
