Re: SHEFFIELD UTD v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

Interesting that some think we're due a hammering, yet we've only lost by 3 or more once in the league all season.

Maybe that’s why some people think the side with the third-worst record in the division is due a hammering - because they haven’t had one since October.

The team’s defensive record has been its saving grace for much of the season, but there have been plenty of games where that has seemed more by luck than judgment.

We haven't handed out a hammering for a while. Are we due to do that soon?

Last time I went....April 1971...weeknight game....full of hope....promotion clash. In typical City fashion we bottled it and lost 5-1. They went on from that to promotion...
Table ended up: After 42 matches, the final outcome was; Leicester 59 pts, Sheff Utd 56pts, Cardiff 53pts. 2 points for a win in those days.

Remember it well. Went up on the train from Cardiff, a special I believe. It was like a morgue on the way back. Sheff Utd had six shots and scored with five of them.

I am 37 and I have vague memories of childhood, things stick out like where we went on holiday and where we lived etc.

How on earth do you remember something that happened in 1971 "well" ?

I am not having a pop I am genuinely intrigued. It was 52 years ago.

You can remember certain games from the past well, there was a lot less football then too. For example I remember an almighty goalmouth scramble as clear as day in the last few minutes of last game of the season against Carlisle in 1977 as we desperately clung on to the 1-1 draw and avoid relegation yet struggle to remember who won the FA Cup last season!

Re: SHEFFIELD UTD v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

This game I feel is a loss before we’ve even started it. a point or three and I’ll be celebrating like we’ve just made it through to a cup final!

Re: SHEFFIELD UTD v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

It would. They're just the type of team we struggle badly against though. Especially up there.

Would be hilarious. I have nothing against Luton and would liketo see them go up over united. Can’t see it happening though but can dream!

Cheers.

Looking ahead we have Jarred Gillett next Wednesday v Watford. He is a current Premier League referee and was in charge of the Leeds H FA Cup tie.

Anyone know how many tickets have been sold/what our pubs are if we've been allocated any? (Not that there will be much time to spend in them)

It just kind of doesn't make sense in my head to be able to do that, that's all.

Is this likely to be on TV in any of the pubs in town does anyone know?

It's all about long-term and short-term memory.

If you asked me what I had for breakfast yesterday, I probably couldn't tell you (short-term memory).

However, I can remember being on a supporters bus back in the 70s approaching Chelsea's Stamford Bridge. I was sitting in a window seat and a Chelsea fan hurled a car hub cap at the window in front. Luckily, it didn't break the window, but I can remember the contorted look on the Chelsea fan's ugly mug just as vividly to this day.

Okay, this a somewhat random, perhaps meaningless anecdote, but it shows how we can remember things that may seem irrelevant to others.

In many ways this is a free hit.

Just go out, give your all, and absolutely anything from it will be more than welcome. If somebody could nut that tosser McBurnie and not get banned all the better.

My Dad went and I remember not being able to understand how something so catastrophic could happen to a team going for promotion, when I found out.

But this is Cardiff City and hence people remember it well.
