Not epic. We're only 6 points clear with 5 months to go.

It just takes a burst of form from two other teams and a small drop in form from us.

Sorry to be neg but teams have thrown away bigger leads than ours very recently.

Plus throwing away big leads is our specialist subject.
 
Remember when he "gave" the club to the kids?
Well, sort of, kind of, not actually gave the club away at all!

maybe not but he certainlt helped to bring in thousands of supporters who are still there today as fathers with kids themselves.
 
He was good and bad in equal measures. If you recall, he announced that he was going to liquidate the club at one point.

I dont think its the time to make comments like that, but to be fair it was all marketing, scaring people into supporting the club. There have been many heroes and villians in city's story over the lat 40 years and Rick was, on balance one of the good guys. Even Sam and the Riddler, will come to be seen as heroes and villians in the overall history of the club.

lets just remember Rick as someone who for all his faults saved the club at a point in time and whatever you think of him, did a lot to revitalise interest in the club at a time when attendances could be counted in th hundreds rather than tens of thousands.

League attendances were never counted 'in the hundreds' during his time.
 
I hope you get a kick out of trying to start an argument rather than give respect to the man that started to build the foundations for the future and saved the club at a time when they were in danger of going out of the league.

Yes they are, otherwise they wouldn't be bottom of the table would they? Self-evident innit.

[Now they'll probably beat us 5-0...]

2-1. I don't like to say I told you so... But despite Malky saying the same as me (can't assume a result based on league position) the Cardiff players do their usual trick of losing the games to those at the bottom.
 
Re Rick Wright I agree with Editor.

Both hero and villan.

He did wonders for the club. One of the best most committed owners we ever had... Till his financial troubles abroad... Then he threw us under the bus to save himself.

I have the same mixed feelings ever since we let ourselves become dress up dolls for millionaires.

I was with three lifelong City fans last night and they all felt the same - one was considering not renewing his season ticket next year regardless of whether we get promotion or not.

Go on crack just a little smile, its christmas after all.

We always seem to do feck all over xmas period tho, 3 points on boxing day could see us opening up a decent lead over 3rd place and I might just start believeing.
 
The most emotion I have felt this season is seeing the clip last night of Kenny Miller fucking up that chance against L'pool in cup final in that sport review shite, put me in a sour mood last night in the Albany.
 
Nah I'm in Wales already staying with a friend for Christmas, if anyone fancies a pre or post match pint I'll be in Cardiff from around midday :)
 
hope yer stay is a good un drew :)
Randall playing in the bay in old bank vaults on boxing day too. tidy

saw a claret and blue umbrella mashed up in the Welsh wind today abandoned
should've take a pic :p
 
Alright lads, Bristol City fan here - yes, bottom of the championship, I know :rolleyes: . And I'd sooner be bottom of division 4 than see my club sell its soul and its history in exchange for the 'dream' of the premier league.

Got a couple of Cardiff mates, long-term fans of 30 years-plus, who feel totally fucked off by their club and WILL NOT be going back next season, premier league or not. Despite our rivalry I feel genuinely bad for these boys, proper and loyal oldschool football lads that they are.

Hundreds of you applauded when we sang "You're not Cardiff any more!" at the Gate earlier this season. Whatever league you find yourselves in, I seriously hope you get your identity back. I think the future of 'real' football depends on it.
 
Another win sees us at the top of the table and five points ahead of an in-form Hull who beat Leeds 2-0.
Middlesborough beat Blackpool to stay in third, while Palace continue to fumble, managing only a point at Forest.

We'd have to colossally fuck things up not to get promoted this year. Now if only we'd mark the occasion with a return to the blue strip and all would be well with the world.

If we get promoted the Malaysians will feel that the lucky red strip did the job. They won't change it until they really have to.

I know. They'll fuck off at some point as investors invariably do, and we'll probably go back to blue then.

The Anus Abraham board is rumouring that Sam is coming back as chairman and will change kit back to blue!

If the choice is red or sam back I think even you might out up with red.lol
 
I'd rather wear pink than have that sneaky weasel back. I don't understand why the Annis idiots keep wishing him back other than the fact he pretended to be friends with them as it suited his purposes.

If Sam ends up back at Cardiff then we really are the laughing stock of the division.
 
Here's my match report from Boxing Day.
