COME ON YOU REDS!

Incredible, wonderful, fantastic, amazing, Deano I love you.

Watch Match of the Day tonight for Dean Moxey's sensational 40-yard winning goal. You may even catch a glimpse of me going absolutely mad behind the goal as it dips into the top corner. Halfway up, behind the goal.

Third Round is Saturday 8th January, and the draw's tomorrow afternoon at about 4pm. We'll be number 64 - pray for us

Have you supported city for a long time neil and it's just coincidence that you came to uni here?? If that goal is as good as you say i will look forward to watching it tonight! Didn't manage to make the game, prior arrangements, though i could hear the roars from my house so it sounded postive!

I never really followed a side properly (as in going to games, etc, etc) before I started Uni. I went along to a couple of City games in the first few weeks of term last year and for some inexplicable reason I got hooked. I don't know why and I have wondered how much money I've wasted watching 90 minutes of rubbish, but today made everything worthwhile.

The goal *may* have actually been intended to be a cross, but top corner is top corner and nothing else really matters

Last time something like this happened, a trip to Liverpool was the result.

Fair enough. I never really got into ex because in my first year my best mate was a cambridge die hard in the old 3rd div which pretty much made me support them as my second team. And after seeing cambridge beat ex 2-1(me in the away stand - if you can call it a stand) where two ex players were sent off, there was no real affinity. I hated steve flack for a start, though have come to see he is a bit of a legend really.

It is then when your team mates come to celebrate with you, you say "I was meant to do that all along".

Good man! Stick the the mighty (Ha!) U's*. They need all the support they can get at the moment!!!

Arsenal are my first team (a decision made as a wee small boy), but as a Cambs lad the U's are my little "pat on the head" team. I've spent many an (un)happy avo at the dear old Shabbey!


*pedants please note that I am aware the the apostrophe is superfluous, but if it isn't there it just reads as "Us"!
