Maybe it started to go wrong just after this game, when the so called great phil stant (no capitals for him), ran to the Eggo, moaning about bonuses and revealed to the Eggo, what every Cardiff City player had earned that season.
Talk about toys out of the pram, no wonder they all can't bear to be in his company.
No I don't like the diver.

Bluetit needs a reality check I think. All players leak to the rags these days. Football's a stinking game behind the scenes with slimy agents engineering moves too.
Stant was a proper 20 goal a season striker wherever he played, one on one with a keeper and he'd put it away.
How I'd love a stant every season
Stant and Dale, pikey and Griffiths in reserve.
Looks like pikey's sniffing his armpitQuote:

dont tell anyone this, you know what they are like, also taking the nespresso machine :thumbup:
setting up the caravan and awning and making it our home from home
I will have to pop home for 1 night a week do get my weekly work done, it worked great in Croyde last year, just this is 30 mins further away
there also seemed to be a closer bond between players and fans :thumbup:Quote:

all of the above mate I remember half the side being local ladsQuote:
