Cardiff City 2008-09

I'm watching it on SopCast but there's a mighty a time lag so I can't listen to Radio 5 at the same time. So it's a Chinese commentary for me!

Cardiff are looking mighty good though.
COME ON CITY!!!
 
Phew! Thank fuck for my Pure DAB radio - it's got a REVU feature so I can run the radio 1.07 minutes late and get the video in sync!
 
How good does it look to see an FA Cup tie in a non-generic, non-corporate stadium, stuffed full of passionate supporters with proper terracing? Love it!
 
Post from ddraig...I'm his secretary today :D


'not bad so far, shame to not capitalise on chances we've had so far, bring on 2nd half! We can do it! Blooooooooooooooooooooooooooobirds! :)'



:D
 
18 minutes to go, and still 0-0.

COME ON CARDIFF!!!!!

*tries not to think of Cardiff's propensity to let in last minute goals.
 
Most exciting 0-0 I've seen in a long time. Time just flew by.

The boys did us proud and played at a pace they are certainly unused to. You could see how worn out they were by the end.

Despite the fact I'll be doing my best to get a ticket for the away leg, I honestly would have preferred to have had us lose than face a replay. Over the space of 2 weeks 6 games. 2 of em against arsenal. Thats going to kill our tiny little squad and our league form.

Still I'm really proud of the team. That was a great game. We could have won that if we'd had a wee bit of extra luck with our shots. Some of them if they'd gone in would have been amazing.
 
I'm not that disappointed.

That's a mighty poor Arsenal team. They have zero creativity in midfield. Wenger must have been mental to put Aaron on from the start. He's a year or two off being the finished article. To put him thru that ordeal smacks of really, really poor management. Song, Eboue, Diaby, Denilson, Nasri, none of them are on the same planet as Fabregas.

Come the replay, which is sandwiched between West Ham And Spurs, Arse will play a weaker team than that which played today. Eduardo and Bendtner in attack I would guess at.

The bluebirds away from home lately have been magnificent. And apparently we're taking 12,000 to the library. That's a home game. Plus we'll have a signing or two to bring in.

Bring it on, this ain't over yet!
 
...absolute nonsense.

Fabianski had virtually no shots to save today. Hardly anyone in the world is on the same planet as Fabregas,. But Song was great today as was Diaby when he came on. Second half was all one way - just a shame Arsenal couldn't finish it off.

The stats don't quite support your view:

Shots (on Goal) Cardiff 13 - Arsenal 15
Fouls 7 - 8
Corner Kicks 2 - 7
Offsides 3 - 3
Time of Possession 46% - 54%
Yellow Cards 0 - 2
Red Cards 0 - 0
Saves 6 - 4

I dont remember Fabianski hardly having to make a save. How many shots on target?

Our finishing today was the worst for many a moon. Fabianski or Almunia in the replay it doesn't really matter. They are both poor keepers. Fabianski's kicking today was a joy.
 
Fabianski is going to be a very good keeper. He is very young but is excellent at coming for crosses which Almunia isn't.

i mean, i know many gunners live - and have lived - in denial, but your churlishness around an _extremely_ level match really taks the biscuit. still, nice to be best at something, eh? :p

He certainly is in denial. Arsenal came out early for the second half. Thats usually a sign that the gaffer is angry at the first half performance.

Well he had right to be as Cardiff really were the better team the first half.

Second half it was 50/50 with Cardiff fading at the end cause they were worn out.
