For me the Cardiff game is the one I dearly want to win, keep the league run going , keep them in their box and push on towards a possible play off spot. It’s our only proper derby and to the older generation it’s the one we look for when the fixtures come out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curr Avon Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) I want us to end 49 years of hurt and reach the FA Cup Quarter Final. On Tuesday, February 19th, 1974, the two gentlemen pictured in the centre and centre right positions, witnessed our team's triumphant 1-0 victory at Elland Road over the Mighty Leeds United in the 5th Round. Can you name them? Edited February 28, 2023 by Curr Avon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine the buzz of beating just about the best team in Europe and reaching the quarter finals for the first time since 1974. We’d be all over the media, it would do wonders for the profile of our club and the money we’d make could finance a signing or two. The club would be absolutely buzzing if we pulled this off. I might understand your perspective if we were desperate for points but we are safe and the playoffs are a pipe dream. If a magic fairy offered a win tonight and say a 2-0 defeat on Saturday, I’d snap their hand off in a second. Surely most people would agree? 3 hours ago, Lew-T said: You remember the Man United game yes? Do you remember the Cardiff game that same season? It’s a no brainier for me. Exactly. That moment Joe Bryan scored and gave us the lead, I just stood in silence, a bit of disbelief really…then it sunk in. We could win it. That goal was probably my favourite moment ever at AG, more so than Korey’s winner, that just sealed it for me. The purest of pure strikes too, from “one of our own” on the back of a flowing counter-attack. I’d love to go through that experience again. 4 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you name them? Steve McQueen and Eric Cantona? Nah, Shanks and someone (I was there but it's not me) Think people forget just how dominant Leeds were at the time, runaway leaders and unbeaten in 29 iirc - the incredible City win made the front pages of the papers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No injuries and a good performance would do me tomorrow. I just don’t get this. We play Cardiff all the time and we beat them fairly regularly. It’s an unremarkable achievement. We don’t have much to play for in the league. If we beat Man City, it’ll be one of the most iconic victories in the history of the club. The stadium will be absolutely rocking. We’ll remember it for the rest of our lives. It’ll also put us a potentially winnable game away from Wembley. How anyone would swap an absolutely seismic win over one of the best teams in world football over a regulation league win, is absolutely beyond me. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How often do we play against the best team in the country?? Of course Cardiff is a big game too but its also just 1/46th of a season in that we're almost certainly gonna finish in the middle of the table Twice a season when Swansea and/or Cardiff aren't in the division above.

Cidre Monita Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 In the very near future, we will be playing Man City at least twice a season. This is just the prelude. A game to enjoy, the magic of the cup. Please note Prem league, football is not just your property in England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not the priority fixture, we are safely mid table. Nigel and the players will not be thinking like you are. This is an opportunity to get to a stage in the FA cup that we’ve reached once in a HUNDERED YEARS. I’m amazed at the number of people who seem to be almost writing this off as a distraction. If you can’t indulge in nights like tonight when they come along then why support Bristol City at all….
