commentary was disgusting. so biased for the "fairytale" just fuck right off. FA cup isnt a charity event.

They've always flip flopped on Wenger's teams.

I know folk are still focusing on Ramsey's miscues, and they have been as bad as theyve been funny, but he's getting himself into a loads of decent positions & creating quite a lot since he's flanked Xhaka. Give him a few games to get his shooting boots on.

Ox injury is a dagger

Lower Lg fans are miserable.They make Tules look like Mad Lizzy. Resent everything about success. Yet older players are still always begging for their validity.

The moral weight given to the pervasive "avg man on the street" opinion in England is a fn cancer.

Weo's weekly Cardiff City review

Yes people it's that time of the week again where your resident Welsh bozo casts a little light on the lowly Cardiff City (inb4 the cries of "this is the prem thread, fuck the championship" etc) If you are interested in the goings on of Wales' capitol city club then read on, if not you can suck my dick from the back and ignore this post!

Anyway onto the review

Cardiff City vs Birmingham

Over 20,000 fans attended the match which ended in a 1-1 draw yesterday. In a game that saw both teams create chances in the first half, it was Cardiff that drew first blood with a Joe Ralls penalty in the 53rd minute after a foul on Sean Morrison. We enjoyed slightly more possession during the game and it looked like we would take all 3 points, but this is Cardiff City we are talking about here, and what else could you expect other than us than conceding a last minute goal. That is exactly what happened when Birmingham's Jutkiewicz bundled in a rebound after his header was saved in the 89th minute. The draw leaves us in 13th place, safe from relegation but too far away from the play-off places. The rest of the season will be about performing well and giving the fans something to cheer about, and also giving a little hope for what lies in front of us next season.

Spoiler: Championship Table

The Gaffer's thoughts

On conceding so many late goals this season

"They're a concern because I hate losing. It feels like you've lost, I'd be more disappointed if it's happening in 12 months.That won't happen next season. All the top sides have got decent choices on the bench to change things and, at the moment, we haven't got much. We've got quite a few injuries and we've got to bite our tongue and get on with it. It looks like we're going to limp over the line."

On the current injury situation

"Thank God it's the international break. We're a bit decimated at the moment, we've had a lot of muscle injuries as well. All credit to the lads, they've given everything for me. It's frustrating because I'd like to finish the season well. I still think there will be nine difficult games for our opponents. Some of the teams we'll play against will be more open than Birmingham were. I don't think there's a game we can't win so we have to keep going."

Player profile of the week - Bruno Ecuele Manga

What can I say about Bruno, a brick of a man and a big inspiration to defensive enthusiasts (I know @Chris Partlow is a big fan of the man)

A Gabon international who counts Auba as a close friend, he has 41 caps for his country and has scored 5 goals for them

Bruno signed for us in 2014 in a deal which was rumoured to be about £5 million, and has so far made 67 appearances for the club. His contact keeps him at the club until the end of the season, and I am very hopeful that he will extend that further as he has a place in the fans hearts with his brave displays, tough tackling and no nonsense defending.





I'm thinking about doing a few profiles from past players in the upcoming weeks, just to mix it up a little and give you guys a little history lesson on the great Cardiff City

Until next time . . . .

Good stuff


Maybe add in your last 10gm form stats & goals for - against in future. As well as those of them who you play the following week & give us a straight Robbie prediction(weodumbass is a prem/CL specialist). Gives us bettors a lil extra juice.

Is there one player from Chile who is even a tiny little bit "fair"? Seems like they are all wild savages.

 

[LEWIS540]

Looks like Kane's done his ankle ligaments. Few weeks on the sidelines, most likely.
