Cardiff City 2008-09

Ledley staying for rest of season (?) Are we going to have top let him go for nothing when his contract is up? Will there be money to keep Routlidge and Chopra? Is this another classic fuck up in the making? :hmm:

To be fair keeping Routledge may not even be an option, if he goes back I can see him getting regular football at Villa, and in any case the price tage would be fantastic.

I think a deal for Chopra has probably already been done, or atleast agreed, but the change of manager at Sunderalnd may have fucked that one up.

As for Ledley, if he is determined to stay for the rest of his contract and then fuck off leaving us with nothing, there is very little the club can do about it. He isn't goona accept a new deal, he doesnt look like he wants to be playing for us this season let alone another 18 months.

Routledge best winger since Willie Anderson.

Chopra/McCormack best strikers since time began.

Bothroyd best, best, best thing person glue boots we've ever had.

Premiership,

we is coming!!!!!!!
 
Villa know he is good. Thats why they bought him. Thats why he is on loan to us. Because they want him as a player and wanted to give him an opportunity to get back up to form at no risk to Villa matches.

Quickest thing I've ever seen at Ninian and that includes Earnshaw. Championship defenders can't handle his speed and thats why they end up fouling him and getting booked.

In other news I got my seat for the new stadium. Its pretty much exactly where i wanted (give or take a row). East 22 here i come :)

The spiel / presentation before buying my ticket has made me more excited.
1080 HD screens all over the place for peeps to watch before the game.
Wider seats with more legroom and the person in front will be set 5 inches lower than presently.

A blue ribon of window goes around the concourse to give a bluey sheen in the day time. At night games from the outside the lights from the concourse will make it look like a glowing blue band around the stadium.

Overall they are doing their best to try and make you want to turn up for 3:00 games at 1:00 and then to stay for 30 minutes afterwards watch highlights from the match you just saw, Dave Jones' interview etc.

I've sat through a couple of presentations for the Premier seats(we got four) and youve just made it sound more exciting than they did!!

I'm really looking forward to next season now, and the chance we will be in the PL is still real. However, if we are still in the Coke, but playing footy like this season I really wont be that dissappointed.
 
From ICwales:

The winger is out of contract with Villa next summer, but Routledge is clear he wants to stay with Cardiff. Villa could agree an extension to his loan deal with the Bluebirds if there was a guarantee of City buying him, probably for up to £300,000, at the end of the season.

£300k? Thats a pittance for him. Pay it in Jan, don't wait for the summer. That would be a frigging bargain!

Maybe its a lack of punctuation. maybe the £300k refers to the cost of extending the loan!

In all honesty, if it cost us £3million to keep Routledge it would be money well spent. Evidently Bothroyd, who is a big mate of Routledge, has been pressing him to stay. If he does, and Bothoryd never scores another goal for us, he will have more than done a job for us this season.

Bothroyd, despite the glum faces when we signed him, is turning into something of a star man. I think I said on this thread when we signed him that he needed a run in a team, maybe he's that sort of player that needs to be loved iyswim, and he is certainly held high in my reckonings, and getting higher every game. It was obvious from day one that he had all the skills, it was just applying them in a game situation that seemed to present the problem. Now he has that sorted he just gets better and better.

Happy days:D
 
Oh yes: a 2-0 win in the bag. We're actually beginning to (gulp) look like serious contenders for the play offs at this rate.

:)
 
Great stuff. City certainly getting a lot of penalties this season.

Only two short of the record for a season with half to go!!:D

I missed today's game as one of the guys who works for me didnt turn up for work, cos he threw his toys out of the pram, and I had to go out driving. Wouldnt have minded if he had said yesterday he didnt want to work today, plus the fact he just got a week's pay as a chrimbo gift and then he drops me in the shit!:mad:

Sounded good on the radio, was it?
 
Was thinking today as I was driving round, if we do go up this season who is good enough in the current squad to come up with us?

Enckelman
Ledley
Chopra
Routledge
Bothroyd
McCormack
Parry

thats assuming we do deals for certain players obv, anyone else?

Championship players can't defend against some of our players and team play.
The result, bad tackles in the box and lots of pens for us. :cool:

Tom Heaton (but he ain't ours)
Wayne Routledge (not ours either, yet)
Ramsey (oh no wait we sold him already)

Er to be honest thats it. We got some great championship players who impress at this level but in the premiership they'd be plain awful.

Its a shame we are not getting more 'proper' goals, but you dont get penalties unless you are up in the penalty box mixing it with the opposition, so i suppose it is a good sign.

That's right, if we weren't in the box causing mayhem people wouldnt have to foul us!
 
Happy Xmas and New Year you Bluebirds. I'm offski on holiday for 2 weeks. Hope the winning mentality continues and a play off place is still on by the time I get back.

All the best boyos.
 
Reading (the league game on boxing day) sold out. Tickets for FA Cup home game on 3rd January on sale now and season ticket holders need to purchase by 29th to guarantee your 'usual' seat.
 
I've just had a friggin nightmare.

I have booked a holiday, and was very careful to check the fixture list to make sure I was around for the last ever game at Ninian.

Booked holiday and then remembered that in all likelihood we will be in play offs and there will be another game at Ninian!!!:mad:

So I hope we dont make the FA Cup final and go up automatically, or miss out altogether!!!:D
