FAO CARDIFF AND SWANSEA FANS

Thu Jan 02, 2014 7:05 pm

There are four league games before we play each other on February 8th, both sides face two of the current top 7 sides and two of the current bottom 6 sides.

There are just 3 points separating our teams at the present.

Both squads are likely to be strengthened before we face each other but how do you think both teams will fair before meeting each other in what could be the most important South Wales derby ever.

" CARDIFF C will play : "

West Ham home
Man City away
Man Utd away
Norwich home


" SWANSEA will play : "

Man Utd away
Tottenham home
Fulham home
West Ham away

I predict Cardiff will pick up 6 points from the home games and possibly nick a point at Old Trafford.

The Jacks I think will get 3 points from their home game against Fulham and take three points from Upton Park and like ourselves possibly nick a point at Old Trafford.

If my predictions are correct then Swansea could stretch their 3 point gap over us if they beat us when we face each other or will City do the double for the first time ever and join Swansea on 27/28 points ?

What do you predict our fortunes to be up to and including the Swansea game ?

4 points each.

Would be nice to close the gap, enough to potentially overtake them by beating them again, but can't see it at the moment. Anything else and we will be in dire straights - not much better for them, if they only pick up say 2 points from that then they will be in a shaky position when they play us -with a lot to lose.

6/7 points for us? Very optimistic & not quite doable for me.
Still, with the new manager syndrome, you never know. Hope your right tho.

Re: FAO CARDIFF AND SWANSEA FANS

West ham -win
Man city - lose
man utd -lose
norwich- win
Giving us 24 going into derby

The jacks will beat fulham and lose to utd ,spurs and west ham giving them 24 going into the derby

we will then do the double over the jacks and as ive already predicted swansealona will be in the relegation battle!

Re: FAO CARDIFF AND SWANSEA FANS

Thu Jan 02, 2014 7:52 pm

What I expect and reckon will happen

" Cardiff City "

West ham H -win
Man city A- lose
Nan utd A -lose (maybe a draw United are awful)
Norwich H- win

At least 6pts, might get 7pts from 12pts available :thumbup:



" Swansea "

Man Utd away Draw/might get a win
Tottenham home lose
Fulham home win
West Ham away Win, draw at worse.


7pts at worse might get 9pts.

Re: FAO CARDIFF AND SWANSEA FANS

Thu Jan 02, 2014 8:26 pm

Us 4 points
Jacks 6 points

Jacks to beat us at theirs.

Re: FAO CARDIFF AND SWANSEA FANS

Thu Jan 02, 2014 8:32 pm

Us to get 6 points(wins against west ham and norwich, them to lose to utd and Tottenham and win the other two

I hate to say it but I reckon it will be one win a piece after the second derby

Re: FAO CARDIFF AND SWANSEA FANS

Thu Jan 02, 2014 8:41 pm

Be honest, by the time we play the jack our team could/will be playing a lot different.
I just hope it's better than we are now. :D
The jacks should do well because Castroathie said they are on target for a mid league finish. :thumbup:

Re: FAO CARDIFF AND SWANSEA FANS

Thu Jan 02, 2014 8:49 pm

Six points for us 2 wins 2 loses...

Five points for Swansea a win and 2 draws

Win away to swansea and OGS becomes the first Manager in history to lead a team to the South Wales derby double :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: it's written in the stars :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

This one is going to be done to death over the coming weeks.
Whatever the points totals the jerks will in my view be bricking it.
History already made with the first PL win to CCFC.
Bigger history to be made with the double.

I remember how nervous they seemed down there that day I had the pleasure of watching Bellamy send Rangel off toward the goal line before hitting the net.
It'll be 10 times worse for them next time.

Re: FAO CARDIFF AND SWANSEA FANS

The way the Jacks outplayed Manchester City in the first half of yesterdays game I think they will dispatch us quite easily unless we put ten men behind the ball and hit them on the break. I was very impressed with them yesterday afternoon, I don't watch games with bias glasses on like most on here, take each team as they are.

I do think we can nick a point at the Etihiad, yes they are a different kettle of fish at home but we can certainly score a goal agains them and if we defend as well as we did against the Arsenal then a 1-1 draw is not beyond the realms of possibility.

Re: FAO CARDIFF AND SWANSEA FANS

Thu Jan 02, 2014 9:13 pm

Can't see us getting anything at United. Think we'll beat Fulham at home and get four points from the other two.
Your game against West Ham is like a cup final for you. If you lose that you're in the bottom three with the next two games being Man City and Man Utd. so the result against West Ham could well be season defining.
Don't want to lose against you lot, obviously, but at the end of the day it's only three points to be won or lost so the result won't be terminal for either club

Re: FAO CARDIFF AND SWANSEA FANS

Thu Jan 02, 2014 9:13 pm

6 points each

Then we will beat them 1-0 at there's. :ayatollah:

Re: FAO CARDIFF AND SWANSEA FANS

Thu Jan 02, 2014 9:36 pm

Would like to think you're right... But can't see it! 6 points from the two home games is a very good shout and I hope you're right! As for a point at old TRAFFORD... I can't see it. Just my opinion, I know United haven't been been the greatest this season but I do think they'll pick up maximum points against us and the jacks!

So you think the jacks will dispatch us easily but we can draw away to man City? The other way around and I'd agree!

We beat the Mancs at home remember, one of the best days out iv'e ever had, August bank holiday, brilliant weather, a fantastic atmosphere, our first home game in the premiership and what a performance it was. Week before that? Dismal 2-0 defeat to West Ham.

My point is footballs a funny old game, the one thing we have got in our favour in regards to the derby is that the amigos at Swansea couldn't give a toss about the game and don't know what it means to the fans, they lacked passion and drive when we played them here. Fortunately our players cared. I can't wait.

I understand that Yeah, but I honestly think we've got a great chance of taking at least one point away to the jacks... As for City, really can't see it. A good performance would be a good result at man City.... In my opinion!

Agree with you on the last sentence. I do not expect wins away against any of the top 8, I do not expect us to get a point. I do expect us to give a good performance and give them something to think about. Against Arsenal whilst we defended bravely we offered f**k all going forward when we had the chance to. Arsenal bombed forward because they knew we weren't going to attack when we had the ball.

OGS, release the shackles a little bit.

Re: FAO CARDIFF AND SWANSEA FANS

Thu Jan 02, 2014 10:16 pm

That has been the problem! I absolutely love frazier Campbell and his energy, Same goes for mutch but we don't have a real cutting edge and most games we rarely look like scoring. The formation plays a part in that and the instructions to the players from the side. Ogs hopefully is going to address this problem and possibly play a 442 which instantly gives us fans hope. 2 up tops (cornelius & Campbell my choice) and I think we could cause teams problems, with mutch and noone's directness and them two up tops and medel Guarding the back 4 I'm sure we'll be fine! (all my opinion lol)

Get a grip, we beat Man City they lost to them, Swansealona they are not, and injuries and fatigue are starting to take it's toll.

They have not won in their last six games and we have already beat them once :ayatollah:

Are people forgetting we are man city's bogey team? :lol:
Also the hammers seem in free fall and have just lost Nolan again and have no strikers. We will be 6 points ahead of them after we beat them.
