The game that arguably announced Robert Earnshaw as a potential legend, scoring a hat-trick against Rovers who were a division above us. Andy Jordan scored an own goal.
Cardiff City 6-1 Exeter City
Another Andy Jordan own goal, not costly this time, either. 6 different scorers - Young, Gordon, Legg, Bowen, Brazier, Brayson.
Macclesfield Town 2-5 Cardiff City
2,376 were in attendance to watch promotion seeking City with their 3rd 5+ goal haul of the season. Scott Young and Earnshaw both scored twice.
Cardiff City 7-1 Rushden & Diamonds
Gavin Gordon's moment in the sun, scored 5. Hasn't happened since to a City player.
Oldham Athletic 1-7 Cardiff City
Prior to kickoff we were Oldham's rivals for a top 6 place. 5-0 at half time, Andy Campbell scored a hat-trick against both Andy Gorams. Possibly the most remarkable result I've ever seen given the situation.
Boston United 1-5 Cardiff City
League cup. Anyone interested?
Cardiff City 5-0 Gillingham
A year and 2 days later we crush the Gills. 4-0 up at half time, Earnshaw scored 4.
Cardiff City 6-1 Crewe Alexandra
Goals from Ricketts, Ledley, Cooper, Purse, Jerome and Koumas.
Cardiff City 6-1 Derby County

Cardiff City 5-3 Barnsley
Not long after the Terriers' win, we pull off the same scoreline against Barnsley with a brace from Gunnarsson, Cowie, Mason and Millar also netting. Danny Drinkwater scored for Barnsley.
Cardiff City 5-0 Rotherham United
18 Feb 2017. The first game I took my 4 year old to see and he remembers so much of it even now. Goals from Harris, Hoilett, Noone and two from Zohore.
I think it's telling that we've scored 5 or more only once since 2011, yet when we were rising from the bottom divisions, it was a quite often occurrence.

Re: Times we have scored 5 or more since the millennium
I think I was at all of them except the Boston game (whatever happened to them?)
-
Re: Times we have scored 5 or more since the millennium
I remember the Bristol City game, watching sky sports and every time City scored the guy watching, former player but for the life of me can’t remember his name, anyway according to him they were the luckiest goals ever scored and the best team lost.he was very anti City.
-
Re: Times we have scored 5 or more since the millennium
And who remembers City winning 12-2 (7-1 away and 5-1 at home) over two legs against Mjøndalen in the Cup Winners Cup in 1969?
Their brown kit was less than fetching.

Re: Times we have scored 5 or more since the millennium
The first one that popped into my head was the Gavin Gordon game lol.

I do miss those ECWC matches, especially the earlier years but not so much our most recent ventures into Europe against the likes of Aarhus, Admira Wacker and Standard Liege.

I certainly remember Göztepe Izmir, Hamburg, Real Madrid, Nantes and Servette.

I remember chopra did his boots on fire celebration at that game. I was bored in work that week with nothing much to do, so I took a still from that celebration on here and photoshopped flames onto the boots.
it looked pretty good in full scale, but when I shrank it down to use as an avatar on here you couldn't really see what was going on. within 5 minutes of uploading it someone on here asked why I had a picture of Chopra holding a dead fox. :hehe:

‘Norwegian Wood’ was on the radio the other day, and I mentioned to my mate, a younger City fan who had no clue about the games, that during the home game on the Grange End that that song was given its only ever airing but ending with ‘Norwegian Shit’.
Didn’t Sandy Allan bag a hat trick in the away leg?

So coarse from the Grangenders. Should have been Leif Erikkson, Edvard Munch, Morten Harket, Henrik Ibsen, Edvard Grieg, your boys took one helluva' beating.

Re: Times we have scored 5 or more since the millennium
Wrexham have probably hit nearly as many as that in the last two seasons.
I do miss watching some of those DJ squads but he also had his negatives. A lot of his goodwill was used up in that play off defeat to Blackpool, probably the worst I've felt coming from a city match.

No idea. All I remember of the away leg was that it was in the afternoon and broadcast on the radio. Having secreted radio earplugs in my log-holes and under my long hair, I recall the commentator describing the sun going down over the pine trees. Quite evocative really.

You're Not wrong, I remember the feeling after a relegation but it didn't compare to that play-off final defeat.

Re: Times we have scored 5 or more since the millennium
I'd like you to list the managers in charge during those momentous games, if you can please Eric. i think I may see a pattern emerging somewhere

And Sporting Club.
Didn’t Martin Chivers play for Servette (with a beard) when we played them?

I was working no more than a mile from the stadium. But it was a bubble so I'd have had to finish work early, drive back to Wales to get a coach and then back to Carrot land for the game. Or go in the home end. Just as well I didn't choose the latter given the score although at least I could have booed the Wurzels without standing out. I saw Steve Lansdown next day as I worked for him. He wasn't happy.

Have to say the carling cup defeat was the worst for me, purely because it was the 3rd time we'd lost at Wembley within a few seasons.

Not for me. I didn't expect us to beat Liverpool and although we lost it was a good game (apart from the penalties). Whereas I thought we could beat Blackpool but the team selection and performance was a huge let down.
Edit
I was at the Macclesfield away game. I was with my mate and his kids who live there.

Plus we managed to take it to penalties and Liverpool didn’t score their first two…. :-/

Not checked, but I think it was in the home leg - they were all headers I seem to remember.

18 Feb 2017. The first game I took my 4 year old to see and he remembers so much of it even now. Goals from Harris, Hoilett, Noone and two from Zohore.
I think it's telling that we've scored 5 or more only once since 2011, yet when we were rising from the bottom divisions, it was a quite often occurrence.
On the face of it, it's pathetic that we have only scored one win by more than four once in the last thirteen years, but all of that time has been spent in the Championship apart from two seasons in the Premier League where we were struggling against relegation. The Championship has become a really competitive league in the last thirteen years and perhaps the thing which proves this most is how rare really big wins are in the division now.
This season really is a case in point - there has only been one score of more than five in a game so far (Plymouth 6 Norwich 2) and only four of five (two by Watford, one by Leicester and one by Southampton). When I first started watching football it seemed that there would be plenty of scores of five or more every week throughout the divisions and even within the last twenty years or so, it was quite unusual for all but the worst of Championship sides not to score five or more at least once during a season.
