Well, at least I was expecting it. And I’ve had a good weekend, courtesy of Anni and Andy – ta, folks! I can just about remember our trip to Metro – cracking club and recommended for anyone heading to Cardiff who wants an “alternative” night out instead of the trendy clubs. Open till 3am, cheap drinks till midnight, and free toast at 1am!
The match was – surprisingly, given the result – rather enjoyable. Best atmosphere at a game for ages. Well, in our half of the stadium anyway. To quote one of our chants: “Your support, your support, your support is ******* ****”. The usual bunch of pathetic, crap, uncommited, glory-seeking tossers who only bother to make a noise when they score. Complete shower. Fans like that don’t deserve the success their team gives them.
It was also a great chance for Nicky Butt to play with his old team-mates again. A shame someone forgot to tell him he’s no longer on their ******* side, the stupid ****. Two of their goals were directly attributable to him just handing the ball off, he continually ignored Taylor on the left wing and he went straight down the tunnel at the end, unlike the rest of the team who had the decency to applaud the supporters.
So, another London derby for the final. I’ll personally be crossing my fingers for the Arsenal mob – their supporters were great on the Saturday. They actually deserve something this season.
Right – apparently I’m off for dinner now. Catch you when I get back home!
My niece plays for Arsenal.
Though I’m thinking it’s not the same team, given that she’s a kid and doesn’t live in London.
Wish she played for us instead of Nicky flipping Butt.
nice game, shame about the score
free toast at 1am??? Cardiff has come on some since I lived there!
spent the weekend gardening & so trashed my poor, unused to physical exercise, body that I was in bed by 9:30pm on Sat & Sun – you youngsters & your party ways (heh heh heh)
Oh yes, free toast in Cardiff. Free food at 3am if you want to pick up splattered beefburgers from the pavement as well!
The burger was OK, but I preferred the toast.
Scum vs Manure in the final. How interesting. I think I might be washing my hair that day. The results over the weekend give us a better chance of reaching Europe, but I’d still rather have Toon vs Blackburn.
My only concern with Toon v Blackburn is the number of injuries the Mark Hughes school of injuries would have inflicted on our already-knackered squad. Mind, it’d make a change for someone to kick lumps out of Bowyer.
And this does save me one other small problem – I’m booked to go to Prague for a stag do over Final weekend. That’d have caused problems because I’d have gone to the footie instead.
Don’t think I’ll bother watching the London derby final. I’ll concentrate on banging as much 40p/pint cheap beer down my throat as I can manage.
