To be expected. I'm surprised many of them seem so nervous though. I guess that's just football. I thought they bossed us all over the park last time we played them. If I was interested in having a bet, I'd probably throw some money on them to get promoted. I still think anything can happen though. Come on City!
I see they've not taken being called Tory wannabees too well
Kind of respect them for that to be fairQuote:

I don't get this ...Lots of other fans seem to think that Cardiff city are a horrible little club full of violent lunatics. It's my understanding that city have turned that image around and become a family club that welcomes opposing fans with open arms. Am i deluded?
To be fair in 1993 when half of south wales invaded craven cottage , invaded the pitch and had to be calmed down by eddie may and neil kinnock , it didnt do a lot for cross border relationsQuote:

London.
Sun was shining.
Big City support with lots of headers.
Rumours flying about.
City in their end.
Always likely to happen at that time.
The plus was City won in style.
Alcohol and cocaineQuote:

Serious question, get her name and number?
"Diddy" David Hamilton a radio one DJ at the time went on the pitch during the break and berated the appalling behaviour of the city fans.
Only to be drowned out by chants of "You short bastard, You short bastard!"
(He was little see)
No it’s not.Quote:

Chelsea were and still are the glamour club of south west london , fulham have far more of a community following . The north end road in fulham may have changed but most of its residents are working class Londoners, and they support fulham .Quote:

It is a windy river though and doesn't bisect London and Fulham has a SW postcode (although there's a few anomalies there). I'm not a local just a commuter, so no expert here, but I think the London Plan places it in West London which makes a bit more sense to me.Quote:
