Cardiff City 2009-2010 season

[Threshers_Flail]

His new contract puts a million or so on his price.

If he and Joe go we have a war chest.

Routledge, Sol Bamba, Zeng Zhi and Koumas would do nicely

I think the rumour about Routledge is just that. I think he's too proud to take a possible pay cut to join a team he rejected last season. He's a greedy little prick, best stay where he is. I'd like us to get some players with a bit more heart and potential.

Seems like a decent bloke.

I think he gives us real pace and skill. He's more importantly a match winner/changer.

Greedy little prick or not, he is, when he is on his game a country mile better than any other player we have or any other team in the championship will have come the first match.

I was getting a little depressed but now I think we (with Routledge or not) are going to be serious challengers for automatic this year.

Just one attacking midfielder needed.

Arise JK.

Hull in for Ross McCormack.

Hull, and their orange twat of a manager, can fuck off then.

I want exciting strikers coming in, not going out.

If it weren't for the fact that Dave Jones wont be able to spend all the money, I would say sell. Yet there'll only be enough money made available to get a second rate replacement.

I'd rather give them Chopra for £3.5mil despite the fact we just paid £4mil for him in theory.

Jacks game will be on the saturday now

I think they are trying to confuse everyone so no one will turn up. Tank and the swansea youth won't know if they are coming or going

 

[editor]

Swansea Youth. Bless.
Always worth a second look:


YouTube doesn't disappoint with the user comments either:

is there an educated part of swansea? i've been there four times; all the women look like sea-monsters, and the men look like child molesters. in fact, the whole of swansea looks like its been hit by a chemical spill. the only good thing that you can say about swansea is that it's not as bad as middlesbrough...

Tank, bless him, is already on his way!

Its really boring.

That is all.

What is?

 

[badlands]

What is?

Crappy rumours.

Ledley going maybe.

Ross going too.

no-one coming in.

a midfield of Mcphail and Rae.

wingers Parry/Burke and Whittingham.

Its a bit yawn, yawn.

Be patient, it will all be ok, promise!

My inklings gone a walking

This is a bit interesting

[Gromit]

I can see both sides here.

DJ is fed up of trying to accomplish miracles with his budget.

PR is worried about what our average attendance in the new stadium will be (what with this recession n all) and doesn't want commit to purchases that could have us running at a loss.

 

[1927]

Is it just me, or is there something JohnBelushiesque about Joe in his playing days?

 

[1927]

Just got back from the Celtic game. Not the best game you'll ever see,0-0, but we have less to worry about than the Bhoys!!
Gerard looks tidy, and unlike his cousin will be available for selection all season!
Burke very lively and probably the best city player on the park, McCormack hungry as ever, Ledley put in a performance that will have had a major impact on his price tag in front of a watching Phil Brown-we'd now be lucky to get whatever spare change Brown had in his pocket.

eta:Should have added that Marshal lokks very impressive between the sticks, first half Celtic were very handy and he made a few great saves, two from point blank range, he has brilliant reflexes and is a very useful addition imho.

Saw it on different, varying feeds.

Marshalls kicking looked a bit hit and miss (the Margetson influence) but his positioning looks good.

Thought Burke did well. But every time he put a good cross in there was no-one there. Ross looked a little slower than last year. Rae's miss was awful. Gerard looked class and ruffled Killen's feathers.

Midfield awful.

Whitts shit.

Jay played alright but it seems everything was aimed at him.

Long ball evident again.

Ledley, ta ra

Programmes were £5 tonight, but are very good, and everyone had a free flag with the date and stuff on it. Already there are some on ebay going for £11.99 and £4.99 respectively!!

Dave loves his seat.

Got any more?

 

[Biffo]

Ground is pretty impresive but seriously lacking character at this point. Nightmare for parking. Impressed with the amount of bars and food outlets and a damn fine view.

Not a great game but served its purpose. Onnwards and upwards.

 

[badlands]

5 mil for Ledley

Yes please

eta:Should have added that Marshal lokks very impressive between the sticks,

He's brilliant when he's on form. He hit the headlines up here with a display against Barca at the Nou Camp that was outstanding. Under Strachan he struggled, first two games of the season he let in 9 goals, lost his confidence and then when Boruc was bought he was out in the cold basically

I've got ablock of four in my garden mate, #1#9#2 and #7, why I chose those numbers I can't think.

Will try and get another couple if you want one for you and little Gabor!!

I mate turned down his flag. I said oi get it and i can sell it on eBay. He still wouldn't get one. His reason "cause its green".

He aint gonna be happy at the all white third strip then. Its actually the nicest strip of them all, but we prob wont ever get to wear it, but I think I'd rather buy one than the non descript blue.

I really liked the new stadium! My seat was right on the half way line in the Bob Bank (or whatever it's called)

Fucking hate sitting though. Every time I stood up when something exciting happened some miserable cunt behind me shouted 'I can't see'! I wasn't standing for more than 2-3 seconds before he'd make a comment. *sigh*

I'm gonna have to find a seats on a back row or something.

That's my big fear. With that seating arrangement, you're going to err, stand out as soon as you stand up.

I fucking hate sitting down for football. It's unnatural - like watching The Clash in an armchair or something.

 

[Gromit]

Whatever happened to the retro kit we were meant to have?

They played one match in it but it never made it to retail.

Unsurprising though as it was a bit weak.
Like they started to go retro and then had second thoughts and added modern bits. They needed to fully commit to the retro idea to have made a nice shirt. It's an all or nothing thing.

Or move closer to the away fans. People more used to standing there I think

or move to the canton (?) stand where you can stand all game with impunity.
