I saw Magic score

Sunday 23 August 2009

Cardiff 3 Bristol City 0

Pre Match Vibe : On top of the world. Nothing but a win
Prediction : 2-0
First half : 2-0 up. Looked like it was going to be one of those afternoons in the first half hour...especially as we were trying to walk the ball into the net. A goal was due, albeit an own one, then Chopra's strike and goal celebration were absolute top drawer. We were playing some terrific football, with Chops having a hand in everything with his Midas touch.
Second half : More of the same, Burke and Rae bombing forward. Rae's finish was sublime. Should've been more.
Thumbs up : Where do you start. Chopra is unstoppable, Burke's turning into a real handful, Rae's getting forward, a solid performance from Adam Matthews, good shot stopping from Marshall. Gerrard looking like a no nonsense sort of centre half.
Thumbs down : I'm not interested in the negatives. Some had an average game, but it's days like these when you gloss over those sort of things.
Crowd Highlight : Realising that the away support were still there after 75 mins.
Man of the match : Chopra, Rae, Burke....you decide
CCFC verdict : We are purring. Massive win, great game, scoring for fun, keeping clean sheets. We played them off the park today and it's been a while since we've done that. Loved it
Visitors verdict : I honestly thought they were poor. They had their chances. Were unlucky with a shot hitting the post but never looked threatening. Nothing went right for them. Even the ref was getting in their way.
In Conclusion : Still not getting carried away. Just basking in the glow and enjoying the football. Remember these days because at some point during the season things ain't gonna go our way.
