We are going to finish 23rd

Re: We are going to finish 23rd

Ah, Reading had only played 7 games in the BBC table I looked at, which was after City's 8th game. So they were doing better than I thought after 8 games.

Yes, it was some crash.

We only have to look at the 2006/07 season for our own version. In early October we were unexpectedly top, 6 points clear, won 9 and only lost 1 of our opening 12 games. That start saw us playing some of the best football I've seen from us. Who knows what happened after that, but we won 35 points from the last 34 matches to finish in the bottom half. Some say it was injury to Scimeca, but he did start 35 league games.

It was just as well we started the season as we did. For 34 games our form was relegation form.

What is good about this improvement, we have had three of our best players injured or rested, Ramsey, O'Dowda, and Bowler, we have a far better squad and very good options now outside the first eleven.

Although Ramsey played really well at Swansea, I'm surprised we've found a way of playing without him so quickly.

A Stiker in January we could be a very useful team this season!

Re: We are going to finish 23rd

Irrespective of whether we will finish mid table or higher, most would agree we have enough about us to finish above 23rd surely? A couple of key injuries aside, we've got a good side and, it appears, a good manager. The last three games weren't flukes.

At the moment O'Dowda and Bowler wouldn't get back in. Who would have thought that?

Crazy but true, they'll have to work really hard to get back in!

Bowler and O'Dowda first 50 minutes, Grant and Tanner when they are knackered and maybe booked, or the other way around!

What are your other usernames?

What a bizarre thing to say.

Then again, your ego knows no bounds.
People who call you out must be the same person, a one person crusade

Moving forward, may I suggest you put the odd good thing about City now and again.
There must be one or two favourable stats you can dig up shirley.

Re: We are going to finish 23rd

I would be surprised if we sign a keeper

We did and shipped out Allsop and what a difference it's made, although with a keeper that was already here. How the hell wasn't he number one last season with those other dopey Managers?

Hardly. There are whole host of faceless, anonymous muppets (including your good self) who line up to 'call me out'. That's been going on for many years. Water off a duck's back. But Birchgrove Boozer is obviously not a newcomer despite his latest username only being registered on 04/07/23. It's always nice to know what names these people previously paraded under I reckon.

Re: We are going to finish 23rd

Barely a Cardiff related post since before the 3 wins in 8 days then back to have a snipe at people daring to modestly enjoy it by posting some (wrong) irrelevant facts about who was 7th last season.

Apologies, I've been on holiday in Corfu. Returned on Tuesday morning, just in time for the Coventry game, about which I wrote a positive comment in Mozzer's thread. Having a snipe at people? Really?

So what were your previous or other current usernames?

Had it ever occurred to you that there might be a good reason for this.
The content of your posts maybe?

Nah, of course it hadn't.

Name calling doesn't look good BTW.
Say we all muppets on here, who would you say you were?

You've been calling me all sorts for years. It's been personal with you for a long, long time. God knows why, I've never had the misfortune to meet you as far as I'm aware, but you started making personal remarks about me ages ago. It's no big deal, you're by no means the only one, although the number who fall into your category is no doubt smaller than it appears due to frequent username changes and multis.

Credit to you, though. You haven't changed your username. You've been trotting out the same old insults under the MacAdder moniker for years. At least you're consistent.

I used to go to the Birch often.

What's it like nowadays? When it's not posting on CCMB obviously.

Aw shucks thanks mate.
Praise indeed from such a distinguished member of society.

Nothing personal at all, its just I, like others it seems, don't happen to like the way you "snipe" (good word that).

Never too late to change

Edit:
I will answer the question I posed for you.

I live in Birchgrove, Haven't been there in a long long time. When i did, it was full of 'Locals' (Nothing wrong in that) But the landlord at the time was right up their arses and would serve them first. They'd stand at the bar as well, even when there was plenty of seats. Plenty of fat middle aged blokes talking shit, although i suppose that's what the pub is about. It may have changed since then.
