Cardiff City 2009-2010 season

Oh engerland, are you listening,
keeeep that cup a glistening,
we're coming again, to take it away,
walking in a cardiff wonderland!

:D
 
Thank fuck for getting that out of the way.

Leicester now, that's do-able. 5th rd?

Who knows where this could go?

As I think I may have pointed out previously cardiff ALWAYS win the FA Cup 2 years after being beaten finalists. Its our year!!:D

:D

And yet you all took such great offence at our hand of friendship, offered on behalf of the English FA: "You wish you were Eng-a-lish!" and "God Save The Queen"...

Anyways, lookin forward to welcoming you all back to the Gate...C U Next Tuesday ;)
 
if anyone's interested, i'm probably going to newport county against york city in the fa trophy tomorrow. will be up for a pint if people want.
 
I've been to some lively games at Newport County's old Somerton Park ground. It was a real shame to lose them when they dropped out of the league.

Fact! The stadium's record attendance was 24,268 for a Football League Third Division South match between County and Cardiff City on 16 October 1937.

well i went to this tonight with my mate (terrynutkin off here), and had a great time! the match was surprisingly good, with a very big physical york side coming up against a small but skillful newport team. both teams are near the top of their respective leagues (york 3rd in the conference and newport top of the conference south) and it was very open, and very end to end. it finished 0-0, but was one of the most entertaining goalless draws i've been to. there were some very tidy players on the pitch and a lively crowd of just over a thousand witnessed it, which was actually down quite a bit on newport's recent attendances which have been around 2k+. there were even 40 or so york fans who made it down. the ground is actually pretty tidy for one which doubles as an athletics stadium and there was a very nice family atmosphere. would recommend it for a day out if you've got nothing else to do. i even spotted a couple of cardiff jackets there, though they got a bit of stick from the regulars ;)

here's some pics. i hope you don't mind me posting it in here, but i doubt anyone else in the main forum would give a shit tbh!

newport definitely deserved to win the tie on the night, though york could have nicked it too. i might even look out for newport's results in the future. they're running away with the conference south this season, and with Dean Holdsworth in charge (yes, that Dean Holdsworth), they could have a bright future.
 
Cheers for those two reports - sounds like my kind of night out! Shame Newport couldn't have snatched a win though.
 
Jacks been sniffing around Boothroyd, but dont have the money for him. Jay has said he is embarassed by the thought of going west....

WESTERN MAIL CARDIFF CITY striker Jay Bothroyd said he is embarrassed by reports linking him with a move to Swansea City and is adamant he will not play for the Bluebirds’ fiercest rivals.

City boss Dave Jones confirmed he had received an enquiry, but the Swans themselves admit they have been priced out of signing Bothroyd.

And if there was any mileage at all in a move up the M4, Bothroyd himself quickly called a halt to such speculation.

“You can kill that story off,” said Bothroyd. “I won’t be going there. It’s embarrassing :D. I’m happy at Cardiff.”

Also..... Mike's message board appears to be getting a little bit more credibility than any message board deserves, first it upset mr Grimsdale, now it has upset our potential next owner! :facepalm: (gawd that board can be depressing on times)
