    It's hilarious seeing how, as Cardiff slip closer to the drop, fans' opinion of the League they were so desperate to join (at one stage,so desperate were they that they chanted bluebirds to a team wearing red) becomes an illogical concoction of a new discovery that the Premier League is not competitive (well, not if you support Cardiff anyway) and driven by money.

    Yet, if somehow Cardiff manage to stay up (they won't), people like Goats will be wetting her knickers thinking about another 180 minutes of watching Man City pass the ball around Cardiff as if they were training cones.

    By the way, for your "great" league, I doubt if Cardiff would stay up next season. Shame we can't test it out, hey, because pretty soon you'd be whinging about that league and drawing up a new league containing Merthyr, Hereford and Cardiff Met to replace the bad league where everybody beats Cardiff.
    Officially lost the plot. 🤪

    If you pumped the players and money into most clubs they would see massive attendances. They have been heavily invested into for best part of 10 years.

    I would expect cardiff to get 50k if were one of the best teams in europe

    Ah sorry love, it’s not hilarious and I’m not whinging. Chill out jack, just coz I didn’t mention you, it was just a fantasy top league team I made up fir when the big six F off. The jacks are rocking about with Wigan and Rochdale I’m afraid down in league 1 or two, who cares which? Anything else worrying you ?

    Ah, still trying to throw around "you're a Jack" like it's actually relevant (or even an insult). You say your ideal league isn't hilarious. It is, it's been drawn up during a tantrum and it shows.

    I didn’t even mean to tip her over the edge, I don’t hate swansea, for to hate one needs to care and be slightly deluded. I pity them mind for having hedge fund owners.

    Hang on, what are you saying here? Anyone could get 50,000, therefore anyone can be a big club. But, Man City are not a big club, but are one of the best teams in Europe? confused.com

    Are you going to derail this thread. I've stayed on point by taking the piss out of your league, sponsored by Tampax I guess because it could only be drawn up during PMT. You've gone right off the subject. Can you explain why a club like Bournemouth or a club like Watford are ones you feel you can dismiss despite their recent histories being far more productive than Cardiff's?

    The "What?" is asking you "What?" What am I not giving a rest to?

    Why are Watford a club you feel you can easily dismiss? What was it, 3-2 at Vicarage Road and 5-1 at Cardiff?

    The whole schtick. Can probably start with the red shirts thing. Most of us are still here from those days and remember that you went along to the games, despite looking down on others who had also gone.

    OK, so you can't answer why clubs like Watford are inferior to clubs like Cardiff. Just as I suspected. Your league is not well thought out. Maybe inventing spurious leagues is good for your recovery. Keep up the good work.

    Maybe derby, they did annoy me after snowgate.....or stoke hhhmmmm...what do think you big Chomsky you

    The club isn’t inferior the town is just a boring dump that doesn’t make for a great away game.

    Spurious leagues are fun, life can be fun sometimes when you don’t take everything too seriously, particularly when in recovery like me

    I actually started off with some facts - mainly the number of seasons a "not-proper" club like Watford have spent in the top flight. I also added some more facts about how Cardiff fans love affair with the Premier league seems to wane with every embarrassing performance. I was merely recalling another fact in how desperate some (not all, probably not you Lardy) fans were to get to the Premier League. It's on record.

    Now, back to this league - do you reckon Watford are not a proper club? Bournemouth? Huddersfield? In 6 games against these "not-proper" clubs this season, Cardiff recorded one win. I suppose you'll find this fact so hard to argue against that you will bring up shirt colours again.

    Some of the best away games I have been to have been in right shitholes.

    They're ok clubs in my eyes. Thanks for asking.

    Bring up the shirt colours "again"? I didn't bring it up the first time...

    Back in 1924, Cardiff City played a 4th round FA Cup tie away at Manchester City. The attendance was 76,166.

    Between 1925 and 1930, Manchester City were consistently one of the top two clubs in the country in terms of attendances. Indeed, between 1923 and the start of World War 2, their lowest position in the national attendance averages was eighth.

    In 1935, they had a record league attendance of 79,461 for a home game against Arsenal.

    In the mid-Eighties, Manchester City were ranked sixth and eighth in the national attendance rankings despite playing two seasons in the second tier. They were sixth in 1989 despite being in Division Two again.

    In 1999, they averaged higher attendances than half of the Premier League clubs despite playing in the third tier.

    In 2002, they were ranked seventh in the all-time Football League attendance rankings. I haven't got any all-time tables since then, but they've probably moved up a place or two based on the fact that Everton and Spurs were ranked above them at that stage.

    Manchester City are a huge club and have been since as far back as 1901, when they became one of the top two clubs in the country for the first time.
