Surfer 1,547 Posted September 14, 2019 Fair dues Lakey. I had to miss the game to attend a memorial service, and then checking the score afterwards - wow. Sporting miracles apparently happen too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CirclePoint 200 Posted September 14, 2019 I was dancing around the top of Vail mountain looking like an idiot! People thought I was being chased by a wasp! What a phenomenal performance. I will admit I was hugely skeptical of anything other than a true beating. I’m off to buy a lottery ticket! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted September 14, 2019 Absolutely incredible game! Well played Lakey. Unfortunately I’d probably predict a similar outcome if I had to again, we played completely out of our skins today, defended like lions and also had the luck at both ends to go our way on the night.. It would be unreasonable to expect something similar against every top team in the form of a pre match prediction / expectation but we can sure hope! As I said on the sterling thread, my prediction before the game and level of support at it are not correlated and you can bet every single one of our fans was 100% behind the team from kick off. What a special performance and result tonight has been. I can’t quite believe it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drazen Muzinic 1,445 Posted September 15, 2019 Lakey, just returned to this board after a night out and I am delighted you're getting some kudos for a change. It's also good that the usual miserable ar5eholes are absent because we pulled off such a great result and those players who usually get slated were excellent. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CDMullins 436 Posted September 15, 2019 Lets not pretend LDC predicted a win, He stated it 'could' happen, like we 'could' come 3rd or be relegated, like you 'could' win the lottery.

If you read his posts he never actually gives a opinion/prediction. That is true. But, my point was that nothing is certain in football and there was every chance of getting points if we played our best - in the face of quite a lot of ridicule and that Man city were certain to win whatever we did. What yesterday's win will also do, is give us the same belief we had most of last season - that we could win any game and it meant there was never real anxiety in the crowd - and that surely now applies to this season in bucket loads. That was why it was such an important game for us to win or at least draw - lose and you are still down amongst the bottom clubs and still wondering about your chances - win and you set yourselves up with huge belief going forwards.

Fair play to you, Lakey! Wish I could have been there, watched it in a sports bar in Shanghai. Found a couple of other Canary fans too, and our goal celebrations were outrageous. Then after the game a German guy came over to us and said he was a mate of Stiepi's, and had just sent him a video of our crazy celebrations via WhatsApp! What a performance, what a night. OTBC! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed Lakey. And the next two games will be a doddle. Top six by October, nailed on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nuff Said 5,118 Posted September 15, 2019 There are some miserable fekkers on here. Lakey is a one-man oil tanker in his unshakeable positivity and takes an unbelievable amount of flak for it. We get pages of threads where he picks himself up off the canvas and comes back for one more volley of punches but never quite gets counted out. It can get a bit tiresome, but the place wouldn’t be the same without you LDC, and anyone who won’t admit you deserve your moment in the sun after such a fantastic result is a little sad IMHO. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,602 Posted September 15, 2019 One final point... Can yesterday maybe put to bed the idea that people being negative about our chances on a forum makes any difference on the pitch? The consensus before the match yesterday was generally 'hope we don't get completely destroyed' yet this seemed to have zero affect on the players or the atmosphere. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
