Good result. But I think if Cardiff are truly contenders they would do better than a 2-2 draw against a team that for much of the game where 1 man down.
Not sure whether I really wanna dig up stuff from Cardiff's recent past, especially when the team are doing well, but Aaron Ramsey scores a bloody Champions League goal, why the fuck did we sell him for what will arise to a measly 5 mil?

agreed, he was only sold less than a year ago, i'm astounded it was so little, when you consider that walcott cost over twice that.

We should have won 6-2 last night, we battered them 2nd half, and their keep made a stunning save in each half.
Ledley and gunter at the top back of the away end with us, I love that so much, fair play to them, they are City through and through

Went up early to make a day of it. Wont bother next time, what is the point of watford? what a boring town! Locals were friendly enough, fair play to em.... they did not make much noise though, one of the most subdued home crowds i have ever seen.
Game was frustrating to say the least, flashes of sheer brillinace interspersed with total inability to hit the back of the net even when on top of it. Parry played a blinder.
Nottingham here we come

I went to Watford once. Was murder trying to find somewhere to park. The pubs were unremarkable at best. The pitch was horrendous which made exciting football impossible. Gave it a miss this time as it was mid-week.
Nottingham here we come indeed
See ya there.

I only just realised that we don't even have a sell-on clause. So if he goes for big money in the future, the club that developed him get nothing.
I dispair.

Yep. Just shows how much they undervalued him from start to finish. I'd have played him instead of McPhail. I honestly thought he was that good all along.

yep, it was clear he was something special every time he set foot on the pitch, 17 years old and scared of NO ONE! too see him go head on straight on into opposition defences as if they were not there was a dream.
the no sell on clause is down to us getting all the cash up front apparently.

Yep. We'd be playing in the UEFA cup now if he started the FA Cup final. That was supposed to be his game.
Also, he should've played in every WC qualifier so far, could well have been the difference in the Russia and Germany games.
(not to hype him to much like)

Got cardiff to win in this weekend's ridiculous accumulator.

Funny to hear "White Riot" being played over the P.A. at Swansea today on the pre-match radio report. Are there loads of old punks amongst their fans or what?

If that happens I foresee the Wembley authorities requesting the final is in Cardiff. Either that or Cardiff will play saturday and Swansea on sunday!

dreadful scrappy game, but three points is three points.
Nice one to Earnie for doing the ayatolah and "missing on purpose"... "Earnie is a blue bird!"
Some of the Forest chants were disgraceful
, but the scoreline was adequate revenge
. Any sympathy for thier plight totally gone.

3rd place for City.
Kept it late but a good result, and a good crowd, 17,500.

still does not feel like watching a side going for promotion, every point is scrapped over. Tonight was best game i have seen for a little while though.

It's a fucking amazing crowd, all things considered, and bodes well for the new stadium.3rd place for City.

It doesn't seem that long ago that I was watching midweek games at Ninian with crowds barely reaching 3,000.

Good crowd seeing that Blackpool brought about 10.
Actually brilliant crowd cause it was a night game.
My worry is though that all those that bought season tickets just to get to Wembley will be absent next season. Fingers crossed that most of them will renew though. We'll have to see.
As for the games I heard some people say the first halve was boring as hell.
Dunno what match they were watching as i thought it was exciting with many near misses for Cardiff.
Defensively we were good all game with Tim having little to do. Completely different to the Nots game where he had to work his arse off.
Ledley was strangely anomomous with many commenting that it didn't look like his heart was in it. Otherwise good performances all round.
The freekick goal by Ross was glorious to see. A real beaut!

First 25mins was as good a display I have seen from City in a long time. parry was whippoing in crosses and finding Bothroyd every time. Ledley might as well fuck off now, he obviously doesnt want to be playing for us and sees himself in the Prem, he'll deffo be off in Jan, and on current showing godd riddance.
Bothroyd shows time after time he has all the skills, applying them to full use in a match situation seems to be his problem, but I've said since we signed him he's a confidence player and needed a decnt run and a couple of goals, now he's had that he is definitely getting better, but seems to have a problem with p[osition, he's either too close to goal or not close enuff!!
McCormack is scoring for fun, Chopra markII, and we'll prob lose him at the end of the season if we dont go up, for big money mind! I really wish we had held on to Thommo cos I think the two scots would have worked really well together, they were a far better fit than we have now.
Anyway its third place and we'd have bitten ya hand off if we'd been offered that at start of season, don't understand why some are still moaning!!
Happy days.

Isn't that what teams going for promotion look like?
