samo II Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Pretty much every post on Blue Moon has Man City fans livid with Cardiff and Warnock. Funny that we face six games against Premier League teams and left with a bit of credit for the way we’re doing things, while Cardiff go one 90 minutes and everyone works them out of the one-dimensional trash they are.

English football will always be more physical, but kicking the opposition up in the air isn't a tactic. Any old mug could tell the players to do that.

Robin101 Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 You’d have to argue this is a setback for the FA cup in general. Pep shows great respect to the esteemed cup and is rewarded with one of his star players being hacked down and injured for a month. Man City could have won that game resting a few players. What reason would they have for not resting players next time? Disgraceful from Cardiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone still want Warnock at the Gate? What a difference a few days makes. MOTD had Lawro saying how the level of fouling by Cardiff was what you see every week in the Championship. Except we saw Bristol City over two legs put in a fantastic footballing performance against us without needing to resort to multiple fouls or legbreakers out of frustration. Cardiff's fans started out with a lukewarm 'boo every time the opposition had the ball' but then couldn't even maintain that, instead just complaining about the handful of decisions the ref actually got sort of not quite right. You lot were superb as fans, recognising good football no matter which team was doing it, and staying and singing your hearts out right to the end. Comparing Cardiff's performance last night to Bristol City over two legs isn't so much chalk and cheese as neanderthal man's 'ugg me smash' to a Space X engineer passionate about their job. On the one hand, I really hope you top the table and get the guaranteed promotion, on the other I'd love to see you smash them in the playoffs and deny it to them. Then again, you'd probably get 4 players taken out and a goal denied, so maybe just go on and win the thing outright. In short, and as per a lot of City fans around social media talking about the contrast, you're a class set of fans and you play football, not thuggery, so hope you go all the way and look forward (ish, because you're not going to be easy points for anyone) to seeing you in the PL next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that whoever it is manages to escape this league upwards it is someone who embraces football over thuggery, regardless if that is us. 34 minutes ago, BRISTOL86 said: I can see more of the same when we play their mob next month. God I hope we can do them. Aye, was thinking similar. Warnock’s reaction post-game tells you all you need to know; if he suspects we’ll do them playing football, he’ll turn it into a wrestling match - just hope we have too much for his cloggers over 90 mins.

The irony is that we outplayed and out-muscled them at Ashton Gate. But I have no doubt that Warnock will send out his combatants to kick us up in the air in the return fixture. Hopefully we won't rise to it and we'll get a result with resorting to brawling. Truth is, with Flint, Wright, Pack, Diédhiou and Diony available, I don't think Warnock's s**t tactics will be enough. And after hearing Ryan Kent's first interview, I'd be checking him for weapons before he leaves the dressing room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numero Uno Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Where are these mythical stats that show us to be more of a long ball team than Cardiff? What they are probably getting confused with is we probably play slightly more Long balls than them BUT with far more possession than they get. If the stat was percentage of Long balls played they would beat us hands down!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A word to the wise Colin. If you send out your players to commit GBH, don't act surprised or agrieved if even the most lenient of referees eventually starts to punish them. And given Bennett's style of "play", I would have thought that he would have been well up for a trip to Elland Road. Can't think of many occasions when I have ever wanted to Leeds to win any game (except perhaps against ManUre) but I will make an exception for the rabble from over the bridge...

The FA have us in 11th and Cardiff in 13th with 4 points difference between the two sides (and this includes Matty Taylor's rescinded red card). http://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/discipline/fairplay (Yes, I realise there's an obvious glitch with Sunderland's record!)
