Cardiff City 2009-2010 season

[badlands]

So you agree that you'll be playing Blackpool in Championship next season? Fair play

you are REALLY getting on my nerves.

we have beaten you twice this season.

 

[editor]

Let's re-do those stats over the last 5 games. Or the last 46. We better or match you on both of those.

Lies, damn lies and statistics.

How about the form for the last four or six games, both home and away?

Oops! Cardiff are above Leicester every time.

And, of course, we finished the season a whole three points above you, despite not even bothering for the last game! And we scored more goals.

Take your pwnage like a man!

Our hero

and your hero...

If anybody isn't travelling to the game tomorrow there will be a few of us, me Badlands and I guess Infidel castro, in the Cayo if anybody else wants to come along.

I'll be with you in spirit. I'm going down the "Soccer Pub" (yes that really is its name). Biggest game in my lifetime, this.

No you didn't

We finished level on points - you had a slightly better goal difference!

Take your pwnage like a man!

No, you take yours

Swap this pumpkin for a fox, and you'll see a realistic view on the play-off semi-final.

Tenuous? Never!

 

[Phenotypic Dai]

I'm excited.

We're going to need to do a hatchet job on Andy King. That'll force them out wide where Whitts and Burke prowl. I reckon DJ probably knows this already, mind.

Dirty, dirty Cardiff

Have you had to huddle into the Cardiff thread because no one else here gives a fuck about boring, boring Leicester?

There's about 4 of us on here. The mightiest band of warriors you ever did see.

And see above, your 'stats' were wrong, we finished level on points with you. You just shaded us on goal difference.

Truth be told, I'm nervous. On your day, you're a better side than us. It all comes down to whether you'll bottle it or not.

My real concern is whether lack of promotion means we'll kiss goodbye to Nigel Pearson and lots of our younger players (King, Hobbs, Fryatt, etc) - he's surely the most promising young manager in the game right now.

 

[badlands]

rumour has it that Gerard is injured.

 

[Phenotypic Dai]

Bullshit aside, I've got a lot of time for Leicester.

I've been semi following their fortunes due my association with Pastieburt, who posts here sometimes. I even forked out 25 quid for a signed and framed photo of Ade Akinbiyi in his Leicester pomp as an Xmas gift for him.

Since the O'Neil era ended the poor bastards have had a succession of numpty managers who've made decisions like paying a million quid for Trevor Benjimin or having a central defensive partnership with a combined age of 76. Then you've got Mandaric sacking Mad dog Allen just after a 4-1 win and Holloway predicting a play off finish when they were in the bottom 4 of the league in February. It's hard not to feel for Leicester.

Plus they gave a home to my favourite comedy keeper of all time in Kasey Keller.

Just a shame we've got to beat them. Hey ho.

you don't like your mate then?

 

[Phenotypic Dai]

He's still got it, pride of place, above his bed.

I do, And i can say the super foxes will win.

 

[pastieburt]

Aye, it is still there.

 

[Phenotypic Dai]

Solano starts at left back for Leicester.

This is good news

 

[pastieburt]

Darcy Blake in centre defence, this is good news for us foxes.

 

[Phenotypic Dai]

Bothroyd's having a good game.

 

[prunus]

Can I just say:

COME ON LESTOH!

 

[Phenotypic Dai]

The post!

Bastard

 

[Phenotypic Dai]

Half time 0-0

Happy bunny so far.

 

[prunus]

Hmm.

We'll still win it.

 

[Phenotypic Dai]

Hmm.

We'll still win it.

I agree. I think we will.

 

[editor]

We're looking great for a win so far, but the Foxes' fans next to me positively insist that they will "come on strong" in the second half.

Fuck that! Come on Cardiff!

 

[ChrisFilter]

We usually have a duff half and then 'come on strong' once Pearson reshuffles.

Cardiff's game to win so far.

 

[ChrisFilter]

Should have been a penalty on two counts...

 

[ChrisFilter]

Leicester starting to dominate.

I guess Bothroyd will be taken off soon.

 

[Phenotypic Dai]

Wonder what I can get for Bothroyd to score now?

 

[Phenotypic Dai]

Richie Wellens is having a breakdown
