Cardiff City 2009-2010 season

OK.... slightly off thread

Anyone going out to Finland for the Wales game but staying in Tallinn??

No, but I did last time we played, and won 2-0, oh happy days. Could write a book about the time we had, brilliant place. Anything in particular you want to know?

Well main reason for asking was to see if anyone was on same flight as us (Wednesday morning) to share transport to Stanstead.

Have got flights, hotel, ferry to Helsinki and everything sorted and found this the other night that might be useful ... any recommendations for punky/dubby/funky nights out gratefully accepted... PM me if you have any tips.

We're flying out Thurs from Stansted soz. Stay 2 nights Tampare, 1 night Helsinki (confirmed today), Two nights Riga and two night Zurich.

5 flights and four hotels. I'll be knackered afterwards.

I was there too. My first away trip with Wales. Damn near perfect including a chat with Sparky in a bar after the game and a chance encounter with Sami Hypia and Jari Litmannen in the airport the next day. Tallin is a great place too.

Have a good one Clint and Gromit ;)

We flew out on same plane as Welsh team.

Nathan Blake had his cash card swallowed by the cashpoint!!

We started singing on the plane as Sparky and the boys got on. Lilly Savage was heard to say to John Hartson "They've put us on a plane with all the twats" he didnt appreciate we were the twats that pay his wages. A couple of the boys from Barry were less than happy with his comments and were ready to rough him up a bit on the plane!!! Savage always gave 100% and I liked him as a player, but on that trip realised what an arsehole he was.

My abiding memory of that game was the welsh fans were kept behind in the stadium for 30mins after the game. The Finns were obviosuly expecting Englaish style trouble, but there was none, all the police and the stewards in the stadium lined up in front of the Weslh end and did the "we are not worthy" bowing down with arms aloft at the wlesh fans. They then let us out earlier than expected and outside the ground it seemed like every Finnish supporter had waited behind for us. The road into Helsinki, probably a couple of miles, was lined with Finnish fans and they applauded us and shook our hands all the wya into the city centre. You dont see that very often if ever!

My book when I write it will also detail the story of the two Estonian bisexual girls and our special show and our run in with the Russian mafia!!

I suspect the saturday is going to be hectic and i am sure my mates would be saying 'urban what?' if i tried to arrange a meet, but you never know!

Do we have enough interest for a wales thread? ?? ??
 
considering the awful attendance at the millenium stadium tonight, i very much doubt it...

Thats thanks to the stupid FAW.

I don't do home matches anymore. Got too many gripes with how they treat their home fans like twats and just wallets.

I only do away matches.

I even had a free ticket for tonight if i'd wanted it.
 
My prediction for sunday.... Cardiff 3 Newcaste 2 :hmm:

home advantage being the deciding factor

I'll buy that for a dollar.

Gutted I won't be there having gone to the first two league games - but looking forward to appreciating City's beautiful passing game via the Sky cameras.

Chops to get the winner and celebrate in front of the Geordies :D
 
If this story is true, what agreed greedy greedy little bastard Ledley is.

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

The offer is for four years and will double his current salary. I am surprised he can get his ego through the changing room door. It would not be so bad if he was worth the money, he aint no Ramsey! Wont last five minutes in the Premiership. Let the fucker go i say (if anyone will have him)
 
The club have overhyped him for years in the hopes of selling him for more than he is worth.
Only the idiots at Stoke have fallen for the hype. We should have snatched their hands off then.

Unfortunately Ledley is believing the hype cause lets face it, he ain't the brightest of sparks, and thinks he really is worth 6 mil. He ain't and we've created a greedy, thankless little shit.

I'd bench him for Newcastle.

I'd love to see us get promoted this year. Ledley's contract expire. He comes begging to us but we buy a premiership quality midfielder instead and Ledley has done us a favour and freed up some of the wage bill to allow it.
 
New shirt sponsor 777 (neighbour of the beast? :D :rolleyes:)

I think I'll keep my sponsorless shirt. That just doesn't look right on a blue football shirt to my eyes. Doesn't look like a football sponsorship. Looks like you are pretending to be a fruitmachine.

I love it, and as football sponsorships go I think its one of the better ones. Lickily the shirt I have been getting signed for my boy is free of autogarphs in the crucial area so i will be getting it printed.
 
Burke's having a decent game. We've come back into it the last 10 min before half time.

Chopra's everywhere except his position. Hopefully he'll stay central second half and we'll get something. We need to get the ball and keep it first, obviously.
 
Could have been worse. Newcastle deserved a red a lot sooner and we were lucky Gerard didn't get a red fir his revenge flying elbow Jackie Chan would have been proud of. Such a beaut opprtunist elbow. Saw him look mid air and realise that he had an opposition's head presented to him.
 
I've had a great day, we may have lost, but ickle 27 has learnt to do the Ayatollah!!:D
 
Well.... today yes, but he made no effort at all to deal with the NU defence, he would normally have run rings around them, he made no effort at all today.

Was that cause of good defending that he hadn't come up against before though? I think that's the answer. I feel weird mentioning good defending with newcastle.

It was certainly a factor, but i watched him lose the ball and make absolutley no effort to recover it. I watched people run just feet away from him, past him with the ball, and he just watched :rolleyes:

He also spent far too much time on his arse, he is a big lad and should not be knocked out of the way that easily.
 
Intimidated by Colocinni's 'fro. I find it scary myself. Anyway, you lot were shit. We looked far too comfortable and Chopra won't score against us. He missed some amazing gilt edged chances against us for Sunderland, could only have been on purpose.
