Palmers Green Red

So some City/Gas think each others fans are obsessed, some don't. Some City/Gas think it''s 'banter'or laughing at rather than obsession, some don't. Some City/Gas think we are rivals, with various criteria seeming to be applicable/not applicable, some don't. Some City/Gas think Wael has no/some/lots/significant funds. In reality all are correct depending upon the perception of the individuals in question, including the last point that relates to your starting position on wealth, relative to beneficial ownership of a football club. From my first derby at the start of the 80's I gradually began to hate these matches as the outcome had too much riding on it at school/work. After leaving Bristol for London for 12 years and now being in Wiltshire, I don't feel the day to day impact of the Gas but still have family and friends both Red and Blue - social media has taken away any hiding place also. To me, they are our 'historic' rivals in respect of 'bants' between friends and family and always will be, just not on the pitch at the moment ... that's it for me in a nutshell really, but will be different for others. Personally can't see I'm obsessed as never posted once on the NLBR thread or this one ............ until now COYR

Well done City lads ... hard fought. COYR!!!!

Wilbs ... get in!

Get in!!!!!

I'm a pessimist usually but at the Gate early and with a Thatch in hand I am unusually positive, so I'm going for a 3-1 home win. COYR

Very strange ... they were noisier before the match than throughout the 90 minutes!

Cardiff fans are pretty noisy today already!!!

Yes ... well done City lads!!!!

Yes ... Flint!!!!!!!!

Get in!

Boom 2-0

Get in!!!!

Get in there ... well done City lads!

Yes!!!!!!!

That was quality ... lost my voice!

Happy with that ... just a bit worried about the space they keep on having on our right hand side, as Elliott seems to keep on having two to cover. COYR

Kodjia was lucky there ... kicked his marker but not spotted by officials!

Get in!!!!!!!!

From the other end it looked like it kicked off in the Atyeo again??? What's that all about?

Well done City lads!

Get in!!!!!!!!!

Get in moi babbers!

Bit of a defensive slip up with too many going for the same ball! Still think if we step up a gear we should win ... I hope! COYRsssss!!!

On the tube from Hillingdon and City at every station!

And so the day begins ... 5th game at Wembley to see the mighty reds. 29 years since that heady day v Bolton and want to see another win now! COYRsssss!
