Spot on.
I don’t think it’s just jacks that think that.
But I’m all for it. I think all the comments about our style rallied us last season. People discounting us next season I think will help too. Well need a bit more than just team spirit to keep us up but every little jibe I’m sure helps.
Immature writing from a journalist allowing his petty jealousy over the success of his local rivals to cloud his professional judgment.
There is no doubt we need some quality at right back, centre mid and up top but one thing’s for sure we won’t go down with a whimper like some, nor will we be spunking £6m on loan fees and wages on a fancy dan from the Bundesliga whose most notable contribution was passing to the advertising boards.
Love that. So 17 wins is the target Neil.
You can do it. Safe by March.
What values are those, dare I ask?Originally Posted by Penarth Blues
If I'd realised you were going to comment on this post I'd have been more precise
I should have said they represent the values I have come to associate with the Club over the years I have followed them:
- Probably not quite good enough but willing to try and prove people wrong
- Fighters
- An apparent fondness for the Club and the area which seems to be more than just the usual 'footballer passing through'
Basically I feel a connection with this team as its character reminds me of the early Cardiff teams I grew up watching
That lad is s total bellend.
Absolutely hates us.
Glad that was pointed out early.
Saved me wasting my time reading his shite
He may be a jack and he may be wrong, but he makes some good points. It seems very much like NW is relying on himself to keep us up.
May well be Warnock's swansong (no pun intended)
His last big gig keeping you lot up. Maybe. Look at Burnley who finished 7th last year
And Kimbo was cack
I have no doubt we have a squad that's too weak, haven't recruited as well as our peers nor do we look impressive at the moment (thought it is pre season) and our heavy favourite status to come back down, is without a doubt correct. However, the ****ing snobbery from the majority of fans in the premier league is borderline cringeworthy, living in a world where they think the majority of football teams nationally and internationally play some sort of liquid football, free flowing with rabona induced goals every other attack. Hope we stay up just we can laugh in the face of these dickheads. Long live the likes of us, Huddersfield and Burnley gate crashing this plastic league. I really would love us to go around and just live up to the on pitch thug status that everyone seems to believe we have, and for the likes of Gunnar, Bamba and Morrison to go around kicking lumps out of this league.
Difficult to say. Something more than you waiting in the wings for it to go tits up. You sound one bitter man.
We can all make tits of ourselves here through drink. You do it out of being a prick with nothing else to do.
Being a cynic is one thing, being a sad case looking back on SH and hooliganism through designer wear glasses is another.
And Mutch wasn't Much
I want this league go remember us ,on an off the field , let's bring some old fashioned charecter and edge back to the game all aka Ninian Park days.
We've signed Preston's best player, Bristol City's best player, QPR's best player and Norwich's second best player. I'd rather us sign hungry players from the Champ than piss money up the wall by making the same mistakes we made last time. Let's be honest, if we signed big time charlies, we'd lose the dressing room and then we'd really be in trouble.
For example, Schurrle might be good but he's scored 3 goals in 2 seasons, and his best position is off the left where Sessegnon plays. A lot of people who watch Ligue 1 saying Moutinho's legs have gone. The Prem was absolutely horrible last season, there were the top 6 and that's your lot. Burnley didn't win a game for 3 months between 12th December and 3rd March and they still finished 7th. We've only got to be better than 3 sides, although I will admit to panicking if we don't get a good striker and CM in.
I don't really want us doing that. There was a misconception last season that we were promoted on the back of thuggish play. By bitter teams we beat or who finished behind us.
I'd be quite happy though if we stay up and the 3 teams relegated spend the whole season whining about our style of play.
I see that all the new found optimism from the end of last season has now gone heavily down the pan in this thread, from the usual suspects of course. If you cant be optimistic now, when can you ?. We will finish above the bottom three and the players we have bought will all adapt well to the Prem. Some people just cant wait for failure to justify their attitude over the last four years.
Amazing that some are still bitter and twisted after the wrongs have been put right, but that’s life.If I'd realised you were going to comment on this post I'd have been more precise

Medel won no medals
Funny, I thought this was a fairly positive thread with much of the criticism it contains being of the constructive variety - for example, concluding that, as things stand, our central midfield may be weaker than last season because we've lost three from it and gained none seems pretty reasonable to me.
Mmmm. That's a bit harsh. While crediting Warnock, the club and the players for doing wonderfully well and defying the odds last season it's no crime to look at the situation objectively and come to the conclusion of most neutrals, including the bookies, that it is likely that we will be relegated . For my part, I hope that we will do well and survive against the odds next season but I am highly encouraged about the way things are going even if we get relegated. We are playing in blue and in with a shout of the play-offs in the 2019-2020 season if the worst comes to the worst. A few seasons ago I would have bitten anyone's hand off for that.
The only thing worse than those overreacting and claiming we'll end the season on 5 points is those who refuse to listen to any concerns by saying "look where we were 18 months ago!!"
I think the sensible middle ground is that our summer transfer business so far has been ok at best. It started well with some decent acquisitions and I think everyone thought a fair bit of PL experience would be coming in to back it up. There's still time but it's starting to look like Warnock was being honest in saying 1 or 2 more, which is disappointing. I don't want us to break the bank but there needs to be a bit of ambition to stay in the league at the same time. As it stands there is barely any PL experience in the team, 1 season from AG, a couple of seasons from Hoilett, a few games from Bennett.
That Roath Boy on twitter claimed Warnock's transfer business so far had been 'great', which I found way over the top. Bobby Reid and Murphy hopefully turn out ok, but we've signed a back up/competition for LB and GK.

We've improved the XI marginally for a huge step up to the PL if you look at it objectively. I hope a RB, CM and CF come in, all with PL experience because that will be vital if we are to survive. We're fortunate to be up there considering our budget last year but lets give ourselves a decent shot of staying there.
I'm long past ever caring what people think of the club, but for myself, it would appear that no matter how attractively we play, as long as Warnock is in charge, we wouldn't get the credit anyway. So lets live up to it, within the parameters of the game and rough them all up, big time.
