Not long got back from the game - was a bit dissapointed with the result, but no doubting, the best team won in the end. :ayatollah:

I'm a leeds fan for my sins, but happen to come from Merthyr (blame my dad andy189 for bringing me up leeds!! ;) )

I was in with the Cardiff fans tonight thanks to the kindness of Annis and i have to say i was completely bowled over by the welcome my dad and i both received tonight. despite growing up in merthyr (i now live in cambridge, hence the name) i have never seen cardiff play, and i thought that we were due a frosty reception.

but i have to say, despite being the enemies in the mist - annis made us very welcome and introduced us to all of the lads around us as the Leeds fans!!! :shock: luckily everyone was really nice and we had some really good conversations with some of the guys around us!

The game was superb from a cardiff point of view - you never let leeds play to their strengths and apart from 20mins in the second half, we never looked like scoring.
Snodgrass' goal was sublime - but apart from that leeds were dire!
it probably had a lot to do with Leeds' formation though - for the 12 games unbeaten we have played 451 with becchio spearheading the attack - tonight we played 442 with becchio on the bench and an untried lg1 striker up front with fatty mccormack!! unbelievable!


I will leave you with one thing to make all you DJ haters hate leeds even more................ We just saved Dj's Job................ as if you hate us enough!!! :)


once again - thanks for an enjoyable evening, your fans gave an outstanding showing of themselves and were thoroughly welcoming, i can assure you that although you may not have converted me into a ccfc fan, you have definately made me want to come to the cardiff city stadium again - i may just make it a regular thing whenever i visit home from sunny cambridge!!!
Annis - You're a top bloke - if ever you're in around cambridge - you're always welcome at ours!!!

Marching on together! :) :ayatollah:

Fair do's mate....respect for your comments and glad you enjoyed the hospitality from Annis :ayatollah:

I spoke to a couple of Leeds ans outside the game and they were pretty philosophical, so respect to them too :ayatollah:


Hope everyone got home safe and at a reasonable time, because I understand there was a major incident on the M6 causing closures and massive tail-backs....

Chuckled at your 'saved Dave Jones' job' comment :lol: I think Annis would appreciate that!! :lol:

to be honest i didnt expect to get anything from this game, and i doubt most the leeds fans did either.
for some reason - we never, ever beat cardiff - talk about bloody bogey team!!! :)

if you asked most the leeds fans at the start of the season what they expected from this season, mid table consolidation was the order of the day - we have defo played better than all expectations! long may it continue.

i have no doubt though that ccfc will go up this season - mark my words!!!

They would have missed all that as I passed the Leeds coaches on the M42.
