Too close to comfort IMO. If Palace score and get that away goal, I'm going to cry.

IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT? IS IT?!!

Need more care in the final third.

Don't give a shit. They are just paying to see who will lose the final. I guess they are hoping to play Citeh so they end up with a Europe League place.

Away goals only count after extra time, so in theory there is no need for them to be quite so nervous as teams in Europe.

It's better for us if City win it just incase we bomb even further down to 6th. At least we'd still get EL football.

I dunno. I was only WUMing. I got the impression he only started to become a good player for Cardiff after a season or two in the team. Scores quite regularly now though.

Similar case when Arsenal sold Sidwell to Villa and Seb Larsson to Birmingham. Both could've done a job for Arsenal a couple of seasons later but they needed to play at the time, I suppose.

Syn

Tell you what - these new stadiums really do kill the atmosphere. At Ninian Park, it used to be so intimidating for English teams.

WUMmery it may have been, but you know, "no truer words when spoken in jest" and that :good:
Took a long time for his best position to become apparent which worked against him, but always was at least capable. (More ability than - say - Craig Gardner, a fellow utility man but one who could/can just shoot, and not much else. )I remember an inch-perfect cross for Barry's goal against Reading way back when. He probably IS a Championship player all told, but again, to let him go for just 300K was plain stoopid.

Syn
24-01-2012, 09:16 PM
Not far away from Whittingham. :bow:

Very tight game atm.

Get Earnie on!

1-0 FT, 1-1 on aggregate.

Next goal the winner, pretty much - if Cardiff get one, they'll probably exploit the extra man advantage and net another. If Palace score, they'll park the bus and hold out on away goals at least.

Tense stuff. Goosebumps tbh.

Come on Cardiff.

Come on Football.

But most importantly, come on Wales.

Might watch the penalty shoot out if it comes to that.

Wouldnt have seen a minute of the previous 210 minutes though

Pretty much every pub team song has been played in the interval. Including 'Hey Jude'.

Brings a tear to the eye.

Syn
24-01-2012, 09:51 PM
All jokes aside - for extra time of a pub league game, is the standard of football not quite good? Quick passes, to feet - good technique. Good stuff.

Syn
24-01-2012, 09:52 PM
Cowie misses again.

Get him off. The prick.

We want Earnie tbh.

Syn
24-01-2012, 09:54 PM
The last half hour has been the most one-sided contest you'll see. If Cardiff don't get through, they're basically Arsenal.

Keown?

Or are you watching it on another channel?

It's sad to Syn showing more passion and spirit for this match than any Arsenal match in the last 34 years.

Just need Maccy to open a dedicated match thread for Bolton v Wigan and be genuinely enthusiastic about it for the death of Arsenal F.C. to be complete.

:rose:

1-1 (on agg.) at HT in ET

Syn
24-01-2012, 10:05 PM
Ah, of course it's Keown! But he has a generic pub-team voice tbf to me.

Palace manager is sort of doing a Phil Brown with some pub-stunt team-talk.

Now or never for Cardiff. They won't win on penalties. They're the biggest bottlers around - if the last 7 years of play-off pain is evidence enough.

Not sure who i want to win tomorrow.

Whoever wins is winning the final basically so its winner takes all.

Do i want Liverpool winning a trophy to end their drought leaving us as the only CL chasing fuckers not to win anything since Wenger went senile?

Or do i want City to win so the above doesnt happen?

Is it a case of just laugh at the losers?

Il probably end up watching Cunts v Real anyway

Man City: Hart, Richards, Savic, Lescott, Kolarov, De Jong, Barry, Zabaleta, Silva, Nasri, Dzeko.

Bellamy back to being world-class for a few days.

Hart has been outstanding recently. Still a few a customary push-outs for good measure. Szczesny was almost faultless earlier on in the season, but has been shaky recently. I'd still say Szczesny has the slightly better attributes overall; more commanding and decisive. Both will be two of the best in the world for a long while though.

Whose idea was it to buy Savic?

Come on Cardiff :scarf:.

I wouldn't swap them because I think Szczesny will be better and is already a character the fans can identify with - which is massively important.

Seems to me that Hart makes more wundersaves whereas Szczesny is just damn good at doing the basics and makes less mistakes.

Master Splinter
26-01-2012, 05:23 AM
If a keeper makes wundersaves, it's usually because the team concedes too many chances. I never use it to judge a keeper. Otherwise, Given, Al-Habsi and Jaaskelainen would be the best keepers ever.

The quality of Hart's saves is unquestionable though. He may be a serial push-outer, but in all other respects there's few better than him at the moment.

He'll always be over-praised in every situation in England though.

Cardiff: Heaton, McNaughton, Hudson, Turner, Taylor, Cowie, Whittingham, Gunnarsson, Mason, Miller, Gestede.
Subs: Marshall, Kiss, Gerrard, Earnshaw, Conway, Naylor, Blake.

Liverpool: Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Jose Enrique, Henderson, Gerrard, Adam, Downing, Suarez, Carroll.
Subs: Doni, Maxi, Kuyt, Spearing, Carragher, Kelly, Bellamy.

Referee: Mark Clattenburg (Tyne & Wear)

I think Platini will do everything to let Cardiff qualify as an English team, if possible. England gets three Europa League spots anyway.

A very strange one-two with the Cardiff defender.

Just before that, Suarez - a gifted player, but if he played for us I suspect he'd be firmly in the 'no balls' category. Does not do it often enough in threatening positions.
