NEVER EVER WAS THAT RIGHT

1st half I thought we were outplayed for most of it by a classy arsenal team. Campbell offered a lot up front and nearly bagged himself a goal with a header that flashed past the post. But arsenal"s one touch passing and movement was mesmerizing to watch at times. When Ramsey scored his 1st & his 2nd as expected he did not celebrate either.

The 2nd half city looked much the better and there's an argument that city were the better team. Most of the play was spent in the arsenal half with city piling on the pressure. So much so that I felt we had arsenal and their fans worried. The introduction of Craig noone caused arsenal problems and surely there must be a shout for him to start against stoke. Cruelly just when it looked like we were building a head of steam to get an equalizer arsenal scored their 2nd and effectively killed off the game.

After last weeks performance against man utd and this week against arsenal I think we can go into the next 2 games against stoke and palace with confidence and get a positive result from both.

Never was that 3-0 defeat today.

that's if malky wants to play positive tho

have to agree with this comment, it is all about tactics. We have shown that we can match the best (UTD & CITY), so why do we go back into our shells?

Thought we were a match for Arsenal in the second half and we only got undone by two breakaway goals when we were rightfully looking for an equaliser. Onwards and upwards.

Arsenal looked exactly what they are today -Class and whilst the final score did flatter them, in my opinion, there is no doubt that they deserved the win.


For us we have shown on a number of occasions this season that we can compete, but we have sadly also shown a desire to "Park The Bus" and that is a worry for me.

The next 6 games will have a massive say in if we ultimately stay in the PL and if MM stays as manager of Cardiff City. In my opinion we must take 10+ points out of these games otherwise the time for hope will have gone as looking at January Arsenal, Man City and Man Utd away will make that month a write off.

We did our best today against a super Arsenal team and none of our players let themselves down but despite that and previous results we are only just outside of the relegation places.

If you were VT would you be happy this evening.

Carl what was your opinion on that linesman today & the officiating im surpriced you have not mentioned it tbh????

Just look at the sides weve had at home for the 1st 7 games, must be the thoughest of most sides.

Agree, this is spot on. One think to add was the lino and ref were shocking today!

Agree with you on this one, Carl

Disappointed with Lee Mason (Referee) with his over protection of the Arsenal players in the first-half...and his Linesman was a disgrace! I've put a tenner on Arsenal to win the league after such bias was shown! LOL

Overall, Arsenal the best side to come here to date and their movement and first touches were superb

Great to see Rambo get the welcome he so deserved and the guys showed his class with both the goals he scored and the way in which he acknowledged the Cardiff fans before, during and after the game. Absolute class on all fronts!

Enjoyed the game, not too disheartened after the 2nd half performance and looking forward to Stoke on Weds

Must have watched a different first half to me Campbell was dogshite the ball did not stick to him at all.

he looked like he had been taking ball control lessons off Rudy Gestede.

Good to read rudy is still getting shit ...ffs and he didn't even play for us
But that's typical of some so called city fans

Rudy plays for another team, why the need to jump to his defence?

He's their problem now.

it is right because they had the ball in back of the net 3 times, we wont hardly put the ball in the net 3 times in a match because we don't play attacking enough but that's not malky style and I think we have grown to expect it now but in reality it was a close game agreed

2 nil was a fair result we didnt look like scoring

In that case why was he brought into this thread in the first place
Why do you need to defend polo

Play Noone from the start please Malky.

Two would have been fair agreed.

Three was a bit gutting.

Because campbells touch was shit today and the last time i seen someone with a touch as shit as that at Cardiff it belonged to Rudy

Well it must be an epidemic as all our players had a bad first touch today but hey let's single one out

Never was that 3-0 defeat today.

The thing is though Carl, it was a 3-0 defeat today...

One thing that is becoming ever apparent is that when we go for it on the attack, we are easily picked off by the opposition. Chelsea, Villa and now Arsenal have done it to us towards the end of the game.

Maybe this explains why Malky seems to always have us play deep and keep the game tight.

Whatever the reason is, I definitely think Cornelius should have been introduced a while before the second goal went in.

I singledhim out in response to carl saying he had a good first half

I agree about Cornelius, I expected to see him introduced within ten minutes of Odemwingie coming on.

I honestly thought an equaliser was coming and not a second Arsenal goal.

I still think the result flattered Arsenal a little despite some of the football they played but that said we were competitive yet again.

Yes it is so stop f*cking crying when someone gives an opinion you dont like.

Not crying but your turning into Barry chuckle

Dry your eyes mate

Starting with Peter Od instead of Kim Bo gives much better support for Campbell moving forward.

Everytime we had the ball first half, the full backs and midfield had nobody to pass to, except for Campbell who was double marked, so they passed it square, then square again, then backwards. All very very slow.

very really do we look like scoring in games tbh how many times have we got to see the ball crossed from wing into Campbell a 5ft 11 player and fair enough that one header chance he had but isit so much to ask to play the ball to players feet it worked for our first goal against utd, agreed 2 nil sounded about right

0-3 flattered them but that's football.

I've read a lot of posts saying we played well, I disagree. We gave it a go but other than Whitts and Cowie everyone was far to sloppy, poor first touches, poor passes. More composure we may have scored but we were lacking today and thought the subs were poorly timed.

Agreed. We had a 5-10 spell from 55 onwards.

Arsenal didnt get out of 2nd gear
