Cardiff reminded me of when Paul Jewell took Wigan up. Organised, got the ball forward quickly, bullied thier way there and very streetwise.
Didn't you hear us chanting "We're Cardiff City, We'll always be blue" yesterday? No matter what we do, Mr. Tan won't care as once we're promoted, walking away would do nothing as plastics who want to see the Prem would fill your seat no problem. It's out of our hands completely.
Well if the biggest problem in my life was the colour of my teams shirt, then yes. But most people have bigger concerns to deal with. At the end of the day watching and supporting my team is a break from the normal druggery of life i.e paying bills, working long hours and dealing family problems.
I misheard it as "we do what we want", because it was after the announcer was telling you to stay. Made me chuckle. To be honest I'm more bitter with the sit down and take it culture this whole country has adopted than CCFC in particular. So apologies for being a scum canut. Just hate it.
Likewise, but it's not a particularly difficult task to make a statement within a few sets of 90 minutes.
Good way of thinking I guess...fans would love to go back to the traditional way of football but we all know most of it is run like a business. At least our owners appear to be bringing some form of success unlike those at Blackburn. I remember Man U used to protest against the Glazers but that seems to have gone quiet..because they keep winning.
They also know that if they didn't go along with it then Tan would walk away and Cardiff would probably have gone into administation and probably worse. red birds or no birds not much choice
I was pleasantly surprised to see in the programme an advert for a certain forum. Great idea Prentice and co.
Late to the party but from my perspective there were two very solid defenses and few offensive ideas but as a unit it was a good performance. Their big black bloke at the back was absolutely superb, as was Kim (MOTM). Our back 4 (inc. keeper) played very well too, Deeney did well too considering he was pretty much playing by himself. Forestieri helped when he came on. On the downside, Briggs is the worst player going forwards I have ever seen. I'm not really sure what he did defensively as had my head in my hands most of the time when he had possession however I just don't understand his love of stopping every time he received the ball. Going forwards he just looked like a very, very slow Jordan Stewart to me, clueless. Stewart was even able to do stepovers until his legs melted, not sure this bloke can even look up when dribbling. Vydra will get back to form, he just looks completely disheartened, one mistake at the start and he was down and very cautious for the rest of the match. He's clearly still got it and wants to be here, I just feel sorry for him as he's taken this tiny dip in form to heart. Unfortunately it was the right move to bring Forestieri on. Some superb chants yesterday by the way, witty.
Cardiff will need major changes to stay up. Only that Korean and the goalie looked anywhere near good enough for the Prem. Surprised that Malky has turned in to Tony Pulis.
Have to say you've got this spot on - 'there but for the grace of god... etc.'. As fans we can do nothing, just ride with the punches and get on with it. Good luck next season. I hope we will be playing you in the Premier league next season, so we can compare who has improved the more.
One thing that I have noticed is when we clip a pass up to Deeney and he knocks it dow Matej is quick to pick up the second ball but Forestieri drops to deep therefore he isolates Troy. I would like to see Forestieri in an attacking midfield role or even just a free role picking the ball up and being creative but would prefer to see Vydra play as a striker tired or not if Vydra gets a chance to score I am confident he will bang it into the back of the net but I couldn't say the same for Fernando. Although his shooting does look like it has improved recently.
according to your forum you owe Tan 70 mil and he is charging you 7% on that, also the day you get promoted youre debt to Langston goes up by another 5mil
Ahh, the talk of a fan that has never seen the riches and greed that goes cap in hand in the premiership. If you think that a sizeable chunk will be paid off at the end of the season has never had a team ofull of premiership paid players and a manager that has never had any experience in the top flight as a manager. It's gonna be a lot harder than you think. If you don't tread carefully, you could be another Pompey, after all, they had debts that were only £13m worse that yours...and this was after a couple of years of having £80m a season cash.
Don't be mean Hollywood. We all know that upon promotion, you are given a cheque for £90m and told to 'enjoy'. Cardiff will have no debts upon promotion and I have it on good authority that none of their players will want more money. In addition, this guy Tan loves Cardiff and is thinking about buying the whole town.
If anyone has the programme could scan up the page we're on, that'd be lovely. Forgot to buy one :biggrin:
I always liked a woman in uniform as well.... Yes. In the grand soap opera manner. A select band of eighties musicians are invited to Canley Borough for a fund raising do for the local church roof appeal. And in the hope they can resurrect their careers given their thinning hair and declining libidos. A disgruntled former mistress of Mick Hucknall who was denied the payments she thought coming to her plants a bomb at the local Canley fete which is also set to raise money. She then calls the folks from Sun Hill about a planted bomb. They and several retired coppers including Burnside and Ackland comb the area for it while an evacuation is under way. Alas it is all too late. The mistress in a last moment of remorse seeing old baldy Hucknall lip synching again telephones the location of the device but kaboom as the Huckster belts out Stars or Fairground. The entire cast is decimated.
The Cardiff fans 'Top of the League' chants were heartbreaking when you consider the inevitability of their demise.
1-0 down. Really would have been a a great result as we need Cardiff to be fighting till the end against Hull.
Ha Ha -last minute equaliser for barnsley 1-1-in fact in the 6th minute of 5 added minutes-Mackay will be going nuts !!
With his goalie for time-wasting if he had any sense/knew the ruling that the injury time allocated is only a minimum (do most footballers even know what that means though)!
I hope they do. It really annoyes me that people don't understand this. It would be much easier if there was a clock that stopped when the ball went out of play. It would lead to lots of USA movie style endings with seconds left, which I'm not sure I like, but it would stop that type of time wasting, which is just annoying and pointless. Barnselys first sot on target the whole game too! Maybe Fraziers right boot will rethink his don't let them score and just score one goal strategy.
