Just snapped up my Bob Bank standing for the last Cardiff v Swansea at Ninian Park. I predict a riot.

The ref was incredibly lenient towards Barnsley.

totally agree, what a load of rubbish, they should have had more sent off.

And what hostility? as far as i could see even the chavs on the edge of no mans land were having light hearted banter with the away fans, there was nothing hostile about it!!!!! ..... wait till his home town come to vist, then you will see hostile

You'll be in the away end I take it. The visitors share the Grange End with our more hospitable supporters!!

No, the home end.

City to play Merthyr Tydfil

This is how welsh clubs should behave. Supporting each other instead of spitting vile for no greater reason than we support different clubs.

I've always enjoyed my pre-season trips to Merthyr so it would be sad day to see the club go under. They had so much promise once upon a time.

I may not be able to go to this one but i'll get my mates to buy a couple of programmes for me or something to help them out.

Makes you proud to be a City fan:

Delighted club secretary Anthony Hughes believes the visit of their near neighbours will make a huge impact in the fight for survival.

He said: “Cardiff City have been absolutely superb to us. This friendly fixture will make at least a four-figure sum that would get the electricity back on and would go a substantial way towards this club finishing the season.

“Cardiff allowed us to make bucket collections outside the ground at the Queen’s Park Rangers game and that money went directly to keep out the bailiffs in respect of council tax owed to the local authority.

“In times of trouble, Cardiff City have been our biggest friends and playing them in pre-season friendlies has always been our biggest money spinner.

“This is a great gesture by the club and its great that a club like Cardiff can help us in our hour of need.

“There are thousands of Cardiff City fans in Merthyr and the surrounding area that support both teams and this fixture is a lifeline for the club.

“All we can say to City is thanks very much.”

I remember giving some money to a collection for the Jacks outside Ninian Park when they were in trouble years ago.

I gave some to Wrexham. I don't remember a Swansea collection though i do remember them being on the edge of being relegated to the Conference.

Many disagreed with my hopes that they would stay in the league.

Went in the Grange end for the first time this season last week. How long has that massive curtain between the fans been there? Rubbish!

I am down there all the time and last week was the first time i had seen it.

You obviously not very observant then. I think the first game was Arsenal.

Nice. When Bristol City were close to going out of business, everyone connected with Bristol Rovers, from the chairman through to the tea lady and every single one of their fans were rubbing their hand together and poised to take our ground off us the moment we went under.

As it turned out, instead they had to wait another few years for Bristol Rugby Club to get into trouble and steal their ground off them.

Can't see that many City fans being so keen to see Rovers going bust. Where would be the sport in that? Jealousy is such an ugly thing.

That was the first game I noticed it.

I thought Arsenal had the whole of the Grange End?

Why have they done it? Makes banter with the away fans quite difficult!

I was not on the grange end for the arsenal game... and i tend to watch what is going on on the pitch

they did

Not really, they keep it pulled back so it only limits the interaction if you stand right at the very back. Did not stop any of the banter with shiny and fatty from barnsley

does not restrict the view of the game in any way

 

[spacemonkey]

You wait a whole season for your team to score 3 goals in 1 game, then 2 come along at once.

 

[editor]

I'm loving it! After that brief wobble, we're looking fucking great again.

3-0. Nice! It was another bumper crowd of nearly 18,000 too.

It doesn't seem that long ago that crowds around 4,000 were commonplace.

Looks like some good results elsewhere for us too: Bristol City lost and Reading and Sheff Utd are currently drawing...

 

[Phenotypic Dai]

Eddie Johnson, eh?

The devil will need to scrape the ice off his windscreen in the morning.

So you never never look around the ground during a game?

What a great goal to open your account! He may not have done much, but now he's in the team its like having a new signing, keep on like this and we'll be offering a contract at the end of the season.

It had to happen I saw Eddie score Facebook site

The only smell eminating from NP right now is the smell of linament from the physio's room, another three injuries today. Chops, Bothroyd and Kennedy all went off!!!

So we play Quincy, Capaldi and EDDIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For once we have strength in depth.

I am delirious.

We could win the champions league in a year or two.

I would love to see Bothroyd,Eddie and Quincy playing together. All opposition clubs would have to wear brown shorts, it could get very messy!!

 

[1927]

The Eddie phenomena has gone global!!

Brilliant, Epic, Magnificent, Masterful

Cardiff must have some of the most dedicated fans in all English football. Most Americans had given up on the boy, but not the Bluebirds faithful, he truly can brag about the quality of fans he plays for, simply awe-inspiring. I tip my hat to you for keeping true and proudly supporting EJ. Lets hope he keeps firing on all cylinders.

Doesnt that give you a warm feeling as a city fan?

 

[Balbi]

I love cult hero strikers. Every club's got their man who scores 1 in 30 games, and everyone remembers if they were there when they scored it.
