Ah balls. 

No longer going to the game tonight.

Volunteering at FEAR Avon Valley (**** it, may as well plug it while I'm here). It's a Halloween event with a handful of horror mazes. One of them has been kept so secret that I've been volunteering down there for a couple of weeks and have no idea what the maze is like.

If anyone goes to it at any point, feel free to send me a PM and I'll try and get 5 mins off to buy you a pint if I'm there that night.(limited offer!)

Me and 19000 others are busy until around 10pm tonight, if we win I'm sure we could all pop on down to take you up on your very kind offer.

It's absolutely ******* horrible. Can't word that strongly enough. ****, ****, **** ******* rancid vile drink.

If you work in Carabao's marketing department, I have to tell you that I can't see that working in an advert for the product.

Don't know how other people feel but tonight means a lot to me. I have never seen us reach the latter stages of a major competition (89 was just before my time) and it's something I've always wanted to experience. Hope we see the strongest possible side and go all out for the win. If we get knocked out and people start saying "never mind, It's only the league cup" I may get a little grumpy.. just to pre–warn you all! ;)

I reckon we'll see the side that actually got us this far, so maybe not what most would consider our strongest side

Yeah, come on city! A quarter-final of a main competition is unheard of for us. 

In the likely event of achieving neither promotion or relegation this season, this should arguably be a priority! 

2-1 City my prediction, but not if we play like Saturday. 

If relegation is now an achievement then suddenly the Bristol Sport museum makes more sense.

Croydon - the armpit of the South.

And I'm taking that description from a friend of mine who lives there.

 

Looked like the ringpiece of Surrey, last time that I had the "honour" to pass through. Mind you, I'd rather pass through Beelzebub's jap eye, than that stagnant midden.

Was stood on Parson Street with this bloke who'd obviously taken his girlfriend to the Leeds game, and she claimed that the only thing she'd learned is that "City are shit". They learn quick now eh.

It’s wrong to hit women. Usually..!

Good morrow fine gentlemens and maidens.

 

The MOTM curse has struck, the unbeaten run is over and Wickes have organised a BOGOF on Crown tins of matt emulsion...

 

Today is the 3rd premiership side we have faced this season and aim to be the first to actually give us a pasting as per the unwritten rule. Watford and Stoke both tried and failed. It's time for Palace to have a pop.

 

Crystal Palace is based in Croydon, a 'saff Landan' shithole and they are no novices to the Ashton Gate crowd. One of our most famous games included "that goal" and earned Mr Warnock his title as Colin and the second most hated opposition manager (after everyone's favourite sad gashead bastard)... 

Warnock is no more and instead, current chief in town is City and England reject Roy Hodgson. After only taking the reins a month ago, he is still bedding down and trying to salvage something from Palace's worst start in the Prem for years, so chances are Roy will be resting key players like Sakho and Zaha and instead will be playing fringe 1st team players and reserves... that old adage "concentrate on the league" will be heard from LJ or Roy tonight I can guarantee. Palace can't be all that bad though as that bought Bolasie off us and flogged him high, giving us a nice little bonus which is always helpful. 

 

A short and sweet one today for me folks. Which is also how I feel the game will go. With Korey and Bakes out til Saturday - unless Pisano gets a shout, move Bails back to CB and shove as much Burger King down Patto's throat and chuck him on the pitch - I feel our cup run will come to an end this evening.

Head says loss. Heart says draw and anyone's guess on pens (FRANKIE GOAL GIF???) Also don't forget it's ABBA... On this note, I will leave you with the words of gashead superfan Mark Watkins.

Good night and come on you Reds.

P.s. Snakes don't have noses... 

Do not want to be picky, but they are fromSouth Norwood, not Croydon, i work in Crystal Palace, where the athletics ground is, and we still get the occasional away fan turn up bemused as to where the crowd are..

If Townsend is played on the left tonight he will tare that Wright a new one-he has pace to burn and will fill 'ees boots v such a pedestrian full back.

If so would place Brownhill in front of Wright as insurance.

Does he often play on the left..?

Funnily enough, I worked there myself till a few years back. I used to keep the directions written down for them in my wallet when they turn up. Lots of mopeds learning the knowledge too.
