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.
Palace away. Terrible day out.
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
Dodgy streams
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!

Man City at Home.
Trying to watch games streamed in a dodgy bar in Phnom Penh Cambodia
Locals fixated on Man U Arsenal Chelsea
Every other team in the Prem were rubbished and they didn’t appreciate my attempts to convert them to support the City
Man city home,Fulham away, Kim's equaliser then Shrek fecking up that pass
Never being out of the bottom 3. Then sacking the manager. Then getting relegated
Red Mist.
Upping my alcohol content by 50%,and being generally a nuisance.
Liverpool scoring whilst we had 2 off the pitch injured
Craig Noones performance at Man City
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.
God I missed loads , whilst I was there as well.
I'm seeing Red?
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.
It certainly does feels great:thumbup:Quote:

Ah, the wonders of modern branding & marketingQuote:

man city at home
The hope of OGS
the ultimate failure
The marches. Especially before Liverpool game.
Caulker's header against Swansea.

Gong from 2-0 up against Sunderland in the 84th minute to 2-2 seemed huge at the time and so it turned out to be. I can also remember being in the queue to get in for the next home game against a completely out of form West Ham team that was also racked by injuries and hearing Ole speaking to the crowd about what he was going to do over the coming months - I didn't know why I thought it, but the words "oh no" flashed into my mind as I heard him speak.
Funny that was. Shelvey wanted to stand on the post, he reached out for it with his hand but couldn't find it, then overran the post and Caulker headed it exactly where he should've been standing. Happy days.Quote:

By far and away this - got national attention at the time - changed my view on the guy since but this was quite something.
RED!
Tan's trousers.
In 50 years of supporting the club, it was without doubt my least favourite season. And that really is saying something.....
The jacks were bricking it for the return, knowing we could do a first-ever South Wales league double.Quote:

I got the distinct impression he reveled in rubbing shoulders with the likes of Lord Ferguson (above).
It would be good to see more of him next season.
I think breathing a sigh of relief after the Chelsea game and being glad it was all over!,looking forward this time with confidence,tinged with realism!.
1) Beating the Jacks
2) Man City @ Home
3) Don't sack Malky song
4) Kenwyn's winner against Norwich - gave us a bit of hope.
Theophile-Catherine not putting it into Row Z against Sunderland. Two points thrown away!
dirty bugger should have gone off
