But, its getting more and more painful to read your more and more spazzy and poorly hidden atempts at talking the current manager down, based on unrealistic expectations and hindsight based arguments.

If you take yesterdays game into consideration, its pretty clear that the team achieved way better than most would expect them to in a very difficult away game against a team that is expected to crush City in both games of the season.
To even be in a situation where not bagging 3 points at Goodison is a dissapointment, is a giant improvement by it self.

In stead of appreciating that improvement and appreciating that City actually played som attractive and clever football that frustrated the usual Everton heroes, you feel the need to point out that bagging points at old trafford earlier in the season should be expected from Cardiff City under the current situation.
Its not like City is a premiership regualar with loads of superstars running around on the field.

This is expected from the slightly below average football supporter.
But for you as a writer and someone that means alot to people around the club, your lack of realism and objectivity is scary.

In terms of the current manager being Tan's man and someone who came in after the rebrand etc.
Everyone with some logical sense should know that every manager in every club wants the fans on their side.
He obv knows how important being blue is to the fans and the city, and he obv thinks that Tan is a giant clown, just as you guys, and if he had any ifluence on the rebrand whatsoever, you would be back to blue in a heartbeat.

Unfortunately OGS was not born and raised in Cardiff or have been a Cardiff fan since he was a child, and yes he probably took the job to get premier league experience so he can land a bigger job later.
But that doesnt mean he has no passion for the club or sympathy with fans regarding the rebrand etc.
That should be pretty obvious from how he acts in interviews and other puplic appearances.

As a very important note, it should be mentioned that i am norwegian and a huge OGS fanboy, so im overly biased by that, but the above is, for what its worth, my opinion.


Well written argument. But im sure the main message of raising to responsibilty didnt get across :sleepy2:

Have to be honest I wasn't expecting anything from the Spurs and Everton games but it is disappointing when you feel the team done enough to warrant a result. Going into those games I just hoped for positive performances so we could keep building momentum under Ole, the team have done that and hopefully we can do the same against Liverpool and pick up some points. We need confidence and belief going into the West Brom, Palace, Stoke and Sunderland games, looking to pick up as many points as possible. Those four games are going to be crucial to our season. :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
