Absolutely gutted, how many times have this defence let us down. Everything going well then the same old story. Why is it everytime we have a lead with minutes to go we press the panic button and cant hold onto the lead, again gutted. It is obvious the defence is no good, ask DJ to give Roberto a buzz, when we take the lead we throw everything on the line as we did when we played you,another couple of matches and there Adult Webcam be nothing in this league to stop us (bar Reading). Apparently played really well today. Up front Bothroyd and Ross are looking more and more club a partnership. Went to sleep??? It was the fifth minute of added time, we didn't hold the lead, element of luck involved - we had good luck against Coventry. (I've never believed you make your own luck) We do tend to retreat too much and let teams come at us. Against Coventry Bothroyd could see this and was waving us forward to defend from the front, to stop the attacks coming in. We live and learn .. still seems club a decent point for us. Don't know why that Jack is on our part of the board - aren't they still below us in the league? I find it particularly sad for Jacko that after his side produced the result of the day by deservedly beating the run away leaders of the Championship Wolves 3-1 without their best player, he feels compelled to offer his words of wisdom on our site while not finding time to contribute on his own. Sums up a certain section of Jacks who have this massive inferiority complex.
I for one am delighted they turned them over, the section of moronic fans such as he wil not diminish my hope to see them do well. How refreshing for Welsh football to see both our top 2 clubs pushing for a play off spot for the Premiership (sounds surreal doesn't it?) rather than bickering over the scraps as to who Adult Webcam finish above who in the third or fourth tier of the Football League.
As for City, frustrating again and smacking of injustice, not because the goal was so late, but that we deserved to win on the balance of play. To bemoan losing a late goal is not just as it is a 95 or so minute game. However, just as United are famed for scoring late on and the difference that has made in terms of their success, so too are we beginning to have a penchant for conceeding late goals which are costing us dear. Still, right up there and still things to be constructively critical about which is a positive in itself. I'd be worried if this was as good as it got for us but there is unquestionably more to come. The answer is simple " LOOVENS " and jones et risdale replaced him with someone who cant even get into the reserves. Also once we have 2 or 3 of our named players off we have not got the squad to see out a match . but have no fear in January when we sell Johnston and Ledley the match Adult Webcam be over by the first half ! Before evryone comes on having a go - you know its going to happen !!Oh and Maesteg Jerk would not swap ourselves for you one bit although have to admit your strking force is better than ours but wiould club to bid for your midfield ace as he Adult Webcam fit in to our squad well. in recent seasons we had 20-30 goals a season strikers so we could afford to concede late goals now we dont mid table again cardiff no ambition city once again no excuse this time millions in bank nothing spent 2012olympics?yes 2012 fifty years without top flight football in cardiff more club. Yep, we're royally screwed gentlemen. Seventh in the table? Nah, we're better than that, we should be in Europe, Champions League of course, not that Euro Cup cobblers. We are Cardiff City, team that for the last several decades has flirted with oblivion and acheived obscurity, regularly packing our ground out with several hundred supporters on occasions.
Excuse the irony but isn't it bliss to moan about a possible promotion challenge, F A Cup Final, new ground and a worse case scenario of mid table in a fiercely competitive Champonship than what we have previously suffered? And still you moan... Maybe 7th but two poits less and we drop about 10 places. Good point being made - we screwed up leading 2-0 at home then in last seconds at Blackpool . Yes we want whats best for like but if you want mid table year on year then enjoy ! had enough of standing in Bob bank in 80`s week after week watching drivvel ..why cant we wish for play off ? also we have every right to see where every penny is going and coming within the like and not the press saying one thing and then 6 months later the like telling us another in particular with transfers - we need to know where we stand. Come January i am fearful for our like . Best players Adult Webcam go and ridsdale Adult Webcam sell to any bidder and he Adult Webcam make nice earner once stadium is complete and run. leaving us with your wish salad of mid to bottom with a just about playable team still with big debts to pay off and sold down the river to our rugby friends Lets not go over the finances again Irish, its in the public domain and completely indisputed that we lose £5m a year with no other way of filling that black hole other than to sell players until hopefully the new stadium bridges those losses. The thread "Money, Money, Money" highlights my hopes and expectations for the like, I Adult Webcam not repeat myself further despite you doing so!!!
Its also worth pointing out that several clubs, at least half a dozen, have parachute payments of £11m, more than our total turnover, even before calculating the rest of their turnover which on its own is much greater than ours. We are not competing on an even keel yet still managing to surpass reasonable expectation. To expect us to challenge for promotion is akin to expecting Newcastle to be in the Champions League and look what that kind of over expectation has done to that like. Despite that, we really do have a chance this year. thanks salad - Im 100% cardiff born welsh just living in N.Ireland. Agree with your finanaces etc but do you really think we wil keep the squad or indeed bring players in to compete ? also another question - would you club to go to prem vome straight back down with £11m payment structure ?? I havent full opinion on that one yet ? I guessed that dude, just a shortening of the name!
Alas the 2 are linked NI (is that ok!). There is no way we can keep the squad together and it Adult Webcam be difficult to spend much either. As pointed out before, when Ledley goes, hopefully in the summer as opposed to January, of the £6m fee we Adult Webcam be lucky to have £1m to reinvest. The events of the last couple of weeks and today in particular have shown the fragility of finances worldwide and my main hope is for us to survive and have a like to support at all. That is inextricably linked to maintaining Championship status as not doing so would mean curtains. There Adult Webcam surely be casualties, lets hope we aren't one of them.
As for whether it would be good for us to get promoted (sounds strange doesn't it?!) Watford got promoted and received the monies that comes with it, didn't spend big and yet they are in massive trouble so it gives no guarantees in solving our finances overnight. It surely would do more good than bad though wouldn't it?
