Thread: Your abiding memories of the last time City were in the EPL

    Your abiding memories of the last time City were in the EPL

    I took a stroll round the perimeter of the stadium before the first game against Man City.

    I counted more than twenty TV trucks ready to beam the game round the world - and theworld saw a cracker!

    For me, a significant sign of the 'big time' that is the Premier League!

    The next season in the Championship there wasn't one truck in the compound for the first game.

    Sitting with my head in my hands amongst the West Ham fans as Joe Cole scored!

    Realising that the big teams really do get all the decisions when Wayne Rooney didn't get sent off for kicking Jordon Mutch.

    Watching the Man City game in a bar in Tunisia, and being gutted that I wasn't in Cardiff for it

    Being one of the few who stayed to the end during our thrashings by Hull & Palace

    Being in the Canton Sports Bar for the West Brom game, and the whole place going nuts when Daehli scored

    Zaha not getting a stonewall penalty at Goodison before Everton went up the other hand and slice home a winning goal. I knew we were down that day

    Doing the poznan.

    “Don’t sack Mackay” song.

    Gary Medel.

    That’s about it.

    Man City home and feeling the greatest adrenalin rush and shared euphoria ever at a football match.

    West Brom away for never say die and playing to the 96th minute.

    Watching the pro-Malky protest at Anfield on a pub TV and thinking the club was in total meltdown.

    Ole Gunnar Solskjær's interviews changing from boyish enthusiasm to little boy lost!

    I had a nightmare time trying to watch online. My Internet here is painfully slow, this wasn't helped by trying to use a rather old laptop. It seemed like most who use this messageboard were at the game, so there wasn't many links posted up for live streams.

    Never being out of the bottom 3. Then sacking the manager. Then getting relegated

    Fulham away, Man City home, Southampton away, Bournemouth away at Christmas even though we lost. Everton away and the manic goal celebrations. Just to mention a few.

    Walking across Stanley Park, an hour after the game with "don't sack Mackay" still ringing in my ears, 4 points clear of the drop zone, averaging a point a game, thinking who in their right mind would!

    Bournemouth away. Started drinking up there 11 am Saturday morning, staggered out of a club on sunday morning at 4.30 am. What a weekend that was!

    Palace away. Started drinking up there Saturday morning 10.30 am, staggered out of a Soho club Sunday morning at 4.50 am. Another great weekend!

    March for blue before the Liverpool game. It's one of the only times where it felt like Cardiff City were in the premier league.

    Thank goodness it feels different this time.

    Getting swept aside by Southampton in the first 20 minutes at my first ever game in the CCS. All the red in the ground. I wanted to leave at half time, but I forced myself to stay.

    Ah, the wonders of modern branding & marketing

    In hindsight my highlight was relegation, personally it was the best thing that happened. If we’d have survived & were still surviving someone else would be sat in my seat and red would be reigning supreme. I’m pretty sure I’d have jacked it in over the rebrand after a couple of seasons of giving it a go.
