Funnier than he thinks he is.
If only he knew!
I think there is a certain type of West Ham manager and as much as i think Jones has done a great job at cadiff I'm not sure he is right for West Ham. I'd like to have seen him stay at Cardiff in some capacity for his shrewdness in the transfer market. If he goes/comes to West Ham I guarantee he will return to CCS next season and take the points. I bet he doesnt tell the team its just another game that day!! Having said that I actually agree wiuth his position on derbies, they ar ejust anither game and we put added pressure on the team when we build up the Jacks mathces as much as we do. Atleast we wont have to worry about them for a few seasons yet!

When Swindon rip up Di Canio's contract before he has even started we'll have him as manager and Bellamy as player coach.

What's going to happen with Bellamy? City need to trim their wage bill.

I would have thought his wages would be mere loose change when you're the world's richest team!

Interesting front page of the South Wales Echo this morning.
Bellamy not only wants to play for us again next season, he is prepared to play for nothing!!!!
Next season is looking not so bad already!

It's got to be spin. That would mean him ending his contract with Man City and signing for us. He might love us but not to the tune of giving up a couple of million quids.
He'll see out his 90k a week Man City contract no matter what. How much of that we'd have to pay won't be up to him.

I'm really not sure he will. I was told when he signed last year that the agreement with Man City was that he would come to us for a year and then they would both agree to rip up the contract. This is the same person who told me he was going to sign months before he did, when you all thoght I was nuts for suggesting such a thing!
Lets all laugh at Cardiff, lets all laugh at Cardiff, nah nah nah nah.....nah nah nah nah
You couldnt make it up on the day that the Swans gain promotion to the Premier league, Cardiff sack their manager.
If the Swans stay up for a few years and the Bluebirds do Porthcawl over the same time period, what will happen to youngsters that are 9 or 10 now, from Bridgend, Port Talbot, Neath, Maesteg, Aberdare, Merthyr etc, will they become Swans fans or Bluebirds fans ?
This is indeed a terrible day for Cardiff FC and Cardiff fans, it will become a crisis if both clubs stay in their respective divisions for a few years, it could lead to twenty years of Swnsea being the dominant team in Wales unless the current status quo changes very quickly.
Anyway I wanted Cardiff to go up, I want both teams in the top division and winning, not all supporters of both clubs would say that but ive always wanted whats best for the Welsh teams, any Welsh teams Wrexham, Newport, Merthyr, Colwyn Bay etc, I would pick Swansea over Cardiff coming originally from a village that is closer to Swansea than Cardiff and having watched the Swansea go from Div4 to the top of Div1, 30 odd years ago {the first time around, seen Toshacks first game for the Swans, probably saw about 50 games from that point on on the way up and then had a season ticket in Div1 and saw the likes of Liverpool, Man Utd, Arsenal, Spurs, Villa and Forest all get beaten by the Swans} yet the first shirt I was bought as a youngster was a Bluebird shirt after the Bluebirds had beaten Real Madrid, yet due to Swansea's rise coinciding with my teenage years I have always followed the Swans.
That is why from Cardiffs perspective its important for them to join the Swans in the Premier division straight away otherwise they could lose tomorrows fans to the enermy, obviously people from Cardiff or going to school in Cardiff should be Bluebird fans but what about fans that are from the towns between the two Cities ?

Atleast you have been honest enough to admit to beinga glory chasing twat. What on earh makes you believe that jacks in the PREM will cause Cardiff fans to switch allegiance quite as easily as you have done tho?

I'd wager that they're not the glory hunting, support-switching drifters you seem to think they are, and they'll carry on supporting the team they've always supported. Why do you think the average south Walian living outside of Cardiff would want to be associated with the Union Jack-waving folk from the run down, under-performing, second rate city that is Swansea anyway?

Under-performing!
Ha ha ha! I want Jacks to build support in their home city and surrounding areas, and we're doing a great job of picking up admiration elsewhere for our football and our fans. I don't think the club needs or wants glory hunters, though they come with the territory of success. Wait 'til that happens to you
I'm sorry but it bears repeating........under-performing
I saw a couple of Union flags at Wembley in the Swans end - vastly outnumbered by the many many many Welsh flags. But whatever helps mate.
Under-performing!!!!!!!!
I was 7 years old getting bought a Bluebirds shirt, I didnt ask for it, it was a christmas present for a 7 year old boy, ive always supported the Swans since I was old enough, seeing my first live Swansea game at about 9, but what if it had been Cardiff on the up as opposed to Swansea at that time, would I have been supporting the Swans then ?, that is the question, when I used to go away with the Swans it was with the Aberdare supporters bus, Aberdare mind you, if Cardiff was on the up would Aberdare have had lots of Swansea supporters and they ran supporters busses from at least Swansea's first season in the second division as was, but Swansea was heading up with star signings and Cardiff was going nowhere.
I never switched allegiance and I dont expect any current Cardiff fans too, but what about fans of the future, future fans from the industrial towns of South Wales lying between Swansea and Cardiff, will it be a case of dad, take me to watch the Swans play Man Utd, wont you rather watch the Bluebirds boy ?, answer= you must be joking they are second division rubbish the Swans are 'tidy' mun.
Thats just it, future fans, the ones just out of the cradle, not fans that already have an allegiance.

Something we agree on.
As for a tumbleweed Swans thread, it might be on here if you and your fellow bluebirds could stop themselves posting on it

Oh yeh - and let's not forget the BNP flags seen at Ninian Park the last time the Swans came, the Red Hand of Ulster flags seen at many Swans games, the links to Rangers and Chelsea - great fans you have!
Keep singing the rugby songs!
Hopefully you'll add to the 4,000 season tickets you sold before the Play-Offs.
Enjoy your brief status as the #1 team in Wales - we're still the best supported though...
See you in the elevator at the end of next season - 4/7 to go straight back down I believe.

Funnily enough my grandfather worked for Man Utd and as a kid, I regularly saw one of the greatest football teams in Britain - Best, Law, Charlton, Stiles etc - but not for one second did my allegiance shift from being a Cardiff supporter.I never switched allegiance and I dont expect any current Cardiff fans too, but what about fans of the future, future fans from the industrial towns of South Wales lying between Swansea and Cardiff, will it be a case of dad, take me to watch the Swans play Man Utd, wont you rather watch the Bluebirds boy ?, answer= you must be joking they are second division rubbish the Swans are 'tidy' mun.
And you are, of course, making the rather wild assumption that Swansea are going to stay up for long. Perhaps the question should be: "would a kid rather see a stylish Welsh team winning games at the top of the Championship or a struggling team floundering about at the bottom of the Premiership?"
One thing having said that I have always been a Swans fan, it could be said I support two teams, Swansea City and whoever is playing England, even if little green men from mars was playing England I would be supporting the little green men.
Its only sport after all, all good banter and all that.

Are Cardiff looking at a couple of seasons of rebuilding ?, new manager, loads of loaning signings probably going back to their parent clubs, other players going to move on and some probably going to be sold, whats the story for next season Bluebirds fans, rebuilding, happy with mid table perhaps ?
Good if that turns out to be the case, the latest talk is they are going to have Craig Bellamy as manager.

Haven't you got a poorly attended open-top bus parade to attend troll-boy, or are you saving yourself for Man U, Liverpool etc ? Thought so....
You are getting me mixed up with 'editor' he said that he used to watch Man Utd all the time or something.
