Chivs Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Cardiff result by a country mile for me. I was going to take anything less than a 0-5 defeat as a moral victory. Somehow we managed to win comfortably. Clarkson's goal was a good one. My first thought was "he's skied that into row Z when we need to keep hold of....oh hang on...yeeeesss". There was one other moment which is possibly a champagne moment. Unfortunately I can't remember the details but McAllister (I think) scuffed a short corner into the box. Everyone in the Atyeo groaned at the awfulness of it...and then hit the roof as the ball went in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhistleHappy Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 He did one at coventry away when we went one nil up .... but to follow through with a chant of ' you're a pig. I'm a goat - you stink, I dont ' was hardly a champaigne moment was it?.. rather childish infact. (some bloke sat in the stand - allegedly ..... eh?.. not that? wot are we on about then? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downendcity Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 The champagne moment has yet to come. This season, we've been through Coppell's brief reign, an awful start to the season, injuries left right and centre, the stadium palarva, dodgy councillors, village green warriors, relegation worries, Steve's resignation etc. etc. So, when the final whistle blows at the end of our last game next month, the fact the we will still be in the championship will be the champagne moment of what has been the worst season for a very long time.

B-Rizzle Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 clearly the cardiff 3-0 is the best from dolly's list. However, isn't that a bit too big to be a champagne moment. all the others are moments or snippets froma game. It seems a little bit rubbish just saying beating cardiff 3-0 is the champagne moment. It's a game not a moment. With that in mind i'd agree with what someone else said further up and give it to JCR's goal and the third against cardiff. Great goal and sealed the game. Massive relief all round when that went in. Definitely my favourite moment of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalRed Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Season over and remaining in the Championship.. thats a champagne moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 My champagne moment is on ice at the moment, still waiting for rovers to get relegated and then the champagne will be flowing for days. but seriously the best moment for me was the reading game, the atmosphere was superb. The way all the fans encouraged the players to win the ball back was just brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Always Believesham Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 From a purely football perspective the counter attack that Elliot finished off at cov - immense move only seen on player though as all the FLS showed was the cross and finish The moment that made me think "wow this is why i love watching city" was Caulker's equaliser at QPR, only because Cardiff wasn't 6!

One Team In Keynsham Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Jesus, I only made it back for 4 games this season, but they were Sheff United home, Palace home, Cardiff home, and QPR away. If the bulk of the champagne moments are from those matches, either I am very lucky or it has generally been a far worse season than I guessed... From the little I saw, the equaliser at Loftus Road was the best single moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got to 6 home league matches - 5 defeats and a draw. Scored 2 - conceded 11. Zero champagne moments at the Gate. Coventry away was a tonic...Marvs goal - the fourth - would have to be my champagne moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Of The Dolman Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Caulker's goal at QPR, an absolutely ecstatic moment especially after the disputed penalty at the other end. Remember the roar even now, amazing that was. The lad celebrated like he was born and bred Bristolian, the amount of passion on the pitch and stand at that moment overflowed Loftus Road.

bucksred Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Don't think this will be a very long list, Clarky wins it by a mile for me. Anyway, what about Caulkers equaliser at QPR. This x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Not a moment for City fans to savour, but I admit it actually put a smile on my face. Early in the season when City were playing poorly at Portman Road. As it was not that long since the World Cup non performance by the national team, the Ipswich fans sang "Are you England in disguise?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
