So, if its garbage, why did they only get 20800 for the Brentford derby with over 3000 away fans, why did they get 20984 for the game against us, with 3200 City fans etc etc etc. You are far too quick to dismiss anyone elses opinions and dont like being challenged on yours. As I said, waste of time discussing anything with you. PS. I didnt predict a crowd of 23-25000, I said that was what I was hoping for.
To be fair I can understand this. Far better than my mate said its like legalised cheating.
However defensively we are superb for this level.
Its all about getting the results now. Wherever we finish it will be an outstanding effort and anyone saying we dont play any football at all is talking bollox. We have played quality stuff in the final 3rd during the season. You could swear we had Hoillet Zahore and a bunch of Gareth Stokers if you listened to someone who rarely sees us but gets texts.
Manga Bennett Ralls Grugic are all good on the ball. Patterson is a big goal threat from midfield.
We are going to finish 2nd or 3rd. You dont get there just being anti football.
Discussing things with you is evidently a total waste of time as you don't read what people have actually written and you attribute opinions to people that they have never expressed.
Firstly, I am not a fan of the team. I am a football fan who has watched the team on plenty of occasions this season, both at games and on TV, but I haven't actively supported Cardiff City since 2012.
Secondly, I have nothing negative to say about Neil Warnock as an individual. I think he's done an incredible job at Cardiff City and he often amuses me with the things he said. His grizzling about officials often wears thin, but overall he's an entertaining character. People reckon Malky Mackay played the crowd - this man's the media master.
Thirdly, I have never stated that attendances are low because of the re-brand or the Emperor's ownership. They are undoubtedly contributing factors - something I know for a fact as I personally know former supporters who don't attend for those very reasons - and I believe anyone who thinks they are not factors is an idiot. Some of the most prominent contributors to this message board in past years are proof positive of the effect the re-brand had and continues to have. However, there are obviously other factors involved in the low attendances, one of which is obviously the style of football this season. As I've said, I'm of the belief it's the most significant one at the moment based on what the fans I've talked to in recent months have told me.
I am perfectly happy to accept any explanations which make sense. You previously said you expected 23,000 to 25,000 to turn up last night. Only 21,000 did (if the official figures are accurate, and we know they include plenty of season ticket holders who didn't attend). If you are dismissing my explanations, then what are yours?
In one post you claimed Fulham get no more than 17,000 home fans each game. In another you said they had 17,800 home fans at the Brentford game. Make up your mind. Be honest, you're plucking figures out of thin air. As I said they had 19,003 against Burton. Do you reckon there were 2,000 Burton fans present? They had 22,076 against Forest. Do you reckon 5,000 Forest fans were in attendance? They had 24,547 against Villa. So, 7,500 Villa fans you reckon?
Yes, defensively we have been superb. We have played some decent stuff in the final third, almost always leading up to a goal, breakaway stuff. The issue I have is the inability to keep the ball when we are under pressure, we may have decent ball players, but there isn't much opportunity to witness this as more often than not, nobody wants to receive it, it isn't necessarily the players, more the tactics that are employed. Our midfield hardly ever dominate a game, they react and chase, that's difficult to watch in my opinion. But, when all is said and done, we are looking good for promotion, if we do get there, then it'll be the most 'unique' brand of football I've ever witnessed.
I am not plucking figures out of thin air - the Brentford and City figures are correct and you are doing your usual trick of ignoring/dismissing any evidence that goes against you and ploughing on regardless making your own up. Fulhams average home gate is 19800 by the way and yes Villa and Forest did take large followings to Fulham. Earlier you said that you only saw about 800 Brentford fans in the away end at Fulham - you obviously plucked that one out of thin air or didn't have your glasses on - their own website confirms sales of 2500+ two days before the game. Perhaps that explains why you never see City play well on tv - you either make it up or cant see it properly.
Really? You're the guy who claims to have give up nearly 6 years ago..
I didn't hear you complaining when we were plagued by hooligans for years. In fact you socialised with same. Some hooligan wrote a book and you were in awe. (Not *****. )
You were a hooligan groupie. I'm the idiot? Better an idiot than sad.
Oi, if you don't mind I'm trying to line Dan up for a job, subtly of course, get your size 10's out I have seen some videos on YouTube in which a paste substance is applied and the artex (which is combed, ceiling and the area above the picture rail) comes off easy with a scrapper, the artex has been on for about 15/20 years I think.
