[the truth]

fair points about swanseas achievements and yes perhaps this is arrogance.....but its just a sign of the massive excitement and latent enthusiasm that's been brewing for 50 years of utter frustration.....im confident, just hope these inbreds who want to oust Vincent tan because of the colour shirts are silenced one and for all....theyre a bunch of divs

Those fans are the tradiontalists and probably the few who watched the club in the lower divisions. The only Cardiff fans I really have any respect for. If they tried to do the same to Swansea I would turn my back on them as well, as would many others. The club crest was changed for god sake. You just don't do that.

the protest isn't about the crest its about the colour...
swans are in white but have had many other colours over the years so have many teams
why didn't you turn your back on them when they didn't play in white?
even international teams play in other colours a lot of the time, to quit your team or country over jersey colour is fickle and frankly pitiful

You can tell you're a newbie and a glory hunter The Swans have always played in white at home that is a fact. It is as much about the crest as the colours, both are equally important to a club identity. The club nickname is the bluebirds for god sake, now you dont even have that on the kit.

not a newbie at all I didn't say just at home did I?
so its their nickname at Cardiff so what? they were bankrupted before the billionaire turned up....he had to go red to recoup some money in the malaysian market....it wont be forever and they can play in blue away from home....rather that than go bankrupt.....

This'll never happen, but I do agree that Cardiff have a lot of unfulfilled potential.

We support rival football clubs, its banter, i'm sure neither of us mean any real harm. I certainly don't.

Alright mate, calm this down before this gets any further out of hand than it already has, and TIBB is seen as a new site that arranges fights between rival firms.

why are they football hooligans?

[SocietyIsRuined]

I'm from near Cardiff and they will be relegated this season. Wish they wouldn't be but they haven't got a strong enough team for the premier league. Tan should have put his money where his mouth is and invested in good players instead of Championship/Division One standard.

Brentford now Good luck playing with the big boys

[the truth]

I think the first year or 2 will be tough as Ive stated several times...but if they survivre they will then thrive
they have a lot of quality in the squad , I like the signings , theyre mostly young and talented and shown major ability at all age levels too
I would like to have sign an extra winger and an attacking midfielder...ledley looked a player to bring back not sure if that's off..lets hope they don't regret dipping into their pockets more
maybe they will bring in some more Spanish scouts to scour for technically gifted europeans

Cardiff have done well signing Caulker, he's an excellent player. I genuinely mean no disrespect when I say he should have signed for a far more established team. And 8 million is far too much for him. Its like QPR all over again. They splashed the cash last summer and sunk like a stone.

I also couldnt help laughing when I read the official announcement on the Cardiff website listing his playing career. NO mention of Swansea at all. When we are arguably the club that established him in the PL.

I stand by my assertion....the performance and the atmosphere today in Cardiff was amongst the best Ive ever experienced at any sports event

No don't get carried away
this season is about survival , possibly just below mid table....
next season mid table is the aim

basically we need to consolidate our position in the top ;league
the stadium will be up to 38000 within 2 years and will probably sell out every match
thus making it even more of an intimidating bear pit of a stadium
not to mention more moola for Vincent tan and co to keep the stars and add a few

id be delighted if we could achieve something like what your boys at Swansea have achieved

Cardiff have long been a sleeping behemoth....the emotion and latent passion that's been bottled up for 50 years just poured out today
IT WAS DEEPLY EMOTIONAL

I'm only joshing. The result will be a good morale boost for the club. But as i've said elsewhere, for teams like Cardiff and Swansea, the 'glamour ties' agains the big sides are nothing more than a sideshow.

The important part of the season is seeing if you can pick points up against teams like Fulham, Stoke, West Ham etc... oh wait.

The new teams are always going to be raring to go against the big teams, the results mean nothing.
