"I'd play our 2nd team and give them the 3 points just to avoid losing one or more of our best players to a side built on Warnock's over-physical approach. 3 points is nothing compared to Jota or Neves missing a season."
Bookmarked for 5pm Saturday

They ought to look at the fair play league for 2016/17 for a more accurate reflection to be fair

I am genuinely starting to come to the conclusion that some teams are beaten before the start with Warnock's reputation for turning out tough physical teams. Will be interesting whether the apparent class of one or two of these Wolves foreign players will prevail, or whether they will go missing on Saturday.
Hopefully Gunnarsson will go through Jota and Neves like a hot knife through hot butter.
Despise Wolves more than any other team in the Championship.
Wouldn't hot butter be melted already?

Wolves fan here. I come in peace. :)
Thanks for popping over to the forum! I trust you gather some of those predictions are posted "tongue-in-cheek", but nonetheless I guess we're both brimming with confidence given our illustrious starts to the campaign.
Just for the record, none of our wins were "lucky" including Boro, and it's probably down to the manner of our victories and the opposition we faced rather than the wins themselves that's given us that optimism some of you refer.
But I'm sure it will be a great game on the weekend, I can see you boys have had some cracking results as well, especially beating the Vile 3-0. NML looks like he was a great buy, former Wolf of course who was highly thought of in his youth but didn't quite cut it with us. I hope he has a great season for you!
And just so you're aware, there's a lot of vitriol aimed towards your esteemed manager, not Cardiff per se. Several years ago, he was heard shouting "break his legs" from the touchline to one of his neanderthal defenders, when Bully was clean through!! As you know, hurting a legend and one of our own family is sacrosanct - as I'm sure it would be if you were to hear an opposition manager shout something similar about Craig Bellamy. (Or maybe that was a bad example.....)
Anyway, hope you bring a lot of fans on Saturday, it should be a cracking atmosphere like usual, and hopefully a great game!
Best of Luck for the season (after Saturday!) ;)
Nice of you to visit and quite a clever username you chose
Seems that both teams have cause for optimism after our starts. However I sense that you come here a little embarrassed by the thought of us reading your MB and noting that you seem to feel the league is there for you to take after just 3 games, I certainly would be.
That said it will hopefully be a good game and your players are as over confident as your fan base appear to be. I just hope that we are worthy of competing with your Portuguese flair over 90 mins after our lucky set of results of late. The vitriol we can handle, whoever its aimed at so we look forward to the best you have to offer. Just remember that after this game there are 42 more to come so the season will not be over just yet whatever result happens.
Thanks for popping-in.
Nothing wrong with a bit of optimism. Even if ultimately it proves somewhat deluded. My preference is to be pessimistic, but that's been quite hard so far this season.
Should be an interesting contrast in styles. But early days and just another game really innit.
I take it you never played Sunday League football then?
"Break is leg" is quite mild you are a sensitive lot up in the Black Country
Cardiff 3 - 0 wolves. I hope you enjoy watching us play some good football
Your first real test is on Saturday, don't forget that.
Tongue-in-cheek? ... that "old chestnut", eh!
Well, I'm not sure how you can gauge from written text that it's tongue-in-cheek, therefore I will go with what I see in black & white text and that is many of your lot seem overly confident.
Oh right, apparently because we've played crap teams they're going to smash us. I am truly hoping we put them to the sword now, give them a little reality check.
This will be a really interesting yardstick for where we're currently at.
On the positive side, it should suit our style of football as they will be looking to attack us in front of a home crowd, which should leave space for Animal, Zohore and Hoilett to exploit as they did against Villa.
On the negative side, they've spent a fortune this season and seem to be in really good form with some decent players. However, it sounds as if Hull are struggling a little bit this year too, so their win at Hull may not be as good a result as it first seems.
The only thing that would surprise me about this match would be if we were really well beaten, as I've not really felt that we've been opened up yet this season.
However, it's the Championship so anything could happen. Saturday would be a great day for Zohore to rediscover his shooting boots...
I've always hated Wolves and after reading their site it looks like they're even more deluded than the Villa fans
Theyve beaten 'boro, Derby and Hull this season. That's an impressive start.
Think we offer something different to most teams though. I don't expect us to have much of the ball, but a counter-attacking game should suit us.
Good early test but long way to go whatever happens.
Agree with all you say.This will be a really interesting yardstick for where we're currently at.

That said, we should all know by now that the bit in bold is the very truest.
Some of my personal favourites from their forum:
"Some trepidation here, which I don't understand. This is far more of an acid test for Cardiff than us, who have hitherto beaten also-rans and relegation fodder"
"4-1 Wolves. Cardif put in their place and continue to drop down to midtable where they remain for the season."
"We need to score at least one more goal than they score, and we shall take the 3 points."
"Bring it on Warnock, you can't kick what you can't catch!"
"However, look at whom they've beaten. No real great shakers amongst them. Cardiff's league position flatters them."
They know we beat Villa 3-0, right?
Anyway, they seem an optimistic bunch, and so they should be, they have a solid team and have spent well, it's going to be a tough test for us
They haven't played a Neil team yet, welcome to British football!
They must be favourites for the league with the money they have spent so good yardstick indeed. Pity they had to become a Portuguese nonsense project to get there but I'm sure it will make their fans happy in the short term.
They have turned it around like us, but they have been really crap the last two seasons and under performed. I reckon we are the better team at the moment and I remember us going there in 87/8 when they were top and we were second, we won 4-1. That would be a nice result for us.
They beat Hull 3 - 2 last night.
Hull drew with Villa.
We thrashed villa and should have scored 6 goals.
Early form doesn't mean much but where do they get their optimism from? The money they've spent?
Any win would be wonderful, and a fourth clean sheet will be a huge confidence boost for the team.
Bring it on. I'd rather play them away early and let them worry about coming here later.
