FT: SOUTHAMPTON 1 - 2 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

[SABlue]

Still two MASSIVE home games coming up ........ Watford & Everton

[Former Labour leader]

The next game is going to be very difficult. I think we have been riding an emotional roller coaster and may come down to earth with a bump.
Hopefully I am overly pessimistic.

I've no idea how many City away games I've been to but it's at least 500+. I've never been so physically & emotionally drained after an away game. We were in the 5th row on the 6 yard box, Sol celebrated his goal directly in front of us. So much raw emotion & passion, I thought he was going to explode.

Meaningless stat.
How many seasons have we played in the top flight since 1962??

Just had a peep on the Southampton board and one of their fans said it was their worst performance in over 50 years of watching

Just tickled me to think how it all plays out on message boards for clubs up-and-down the country.

Southampton are obviously a far better team than I took them to be.

When's the last time we played a league game that someone didn't describe as massive?

Probably before we were born Bob.

Bacuna looked useful, nice to see Victor back too !

Well done City !

Great shot from Bacuna yesterday. He can hit a ball

Ralls and Peltier were fantastic again yesterday. Pleased for both of them, particularly as I have been a big doubter/critic of Peltier. Well done that man.
