Cardiff City FA Cup (2-1) - 7th January 2006

After the excitement of TH saying "I'm Staying (Ts&Cs TBC of course)", we had the joys of a 1.00 K.O. (due the reputaion of the Welsh fans no doubt) and a 3rd round tie with a number of plyers rested, injured or unavailable at the last minute thanks to the Cot D'Ivoire FA! With pubs seeming to be varied in their opening times and the avoidance of hardcore Cardiff fans a priority we ended up in the Lil Red on Holloway Rd - I've never seen it so quiet but it still is a horrible pub. Although Cardiff could have scored with their first attack - 2 superb moves and finishes from Bob effectively settled the game. I've read reports saying, "Arsenal weathered the Storm after the Cardiff goal" - well can I just say that they scored with roughly 5 minutes to play. For the first 3 of those minutes we played keep ball, only being interrupted by a pitch invader from Wales.

p.s. Anyone know the name of the player pictured on the pub sign here?
