We are top of the league because when we play crap 9/10 we also win.


That is the hard truth.

Leicester played well today and lost.

Loads of fans ask how we are top and that is the answer for them to take in. I expect Palace to be at us big time down the wings on Boxing Day but if we come out of that with a 1-0 win that is all that matters. Possession only matters if you use it.

I have heard plaudits on GoS say Liverpool have played well all season but do not take their chances. That was like Leicester today plus some superb defending from our lot. We get a chances and we do often take them.



spot on!!

A bit harsh probable BUT something we have to take on board.

I felt after listening to my mate the Leicester fans before the game that if they failed to score after 15 minutes we would win the game. Well that happened and they never looks like scoring once we look the lead.

3 points it was against one of our main challengers......but it is nothing to get carried away with.
You could always go 35 miles further west and watch our cousins

If we are so good and so superior WHY do we keep getting these BLIPS AND WHY do we keep riding our luck We have been first or 2nd in recent seasons past and have had people saying f off were top or were 2nd BUT did we stay there ?.Its not being negative its being real If you accept what we are doing now is great and everyting is fantastic and we have the best side by miles then im sorry you are under an illusion New players MUST be brought in in JANUARY to maintain the top spot and automatic promotion and not ride our luck and finish sides off

What a ridiculous f*cking post.

What 'blips'?? Who says we are so 'superior'????

Nobody wins every game, nobody plays well every week.

Cardiff City are the best side in this division. Not by a lot. We are not miles better
than Leicester, or Palace, or Hull.

but we ARE a little bit better than them. We ARE that little bit more consistent

Thats all we need to be.

spot on, after 23 games you are not in a false position, you could use the idea that we are the best of an overall bad bunch, but still the best. we dont give ourselves enough credit at times! :ayatollah:

I was there today standing next to Carl. I nearly threw him over the balcony when we scored. After that I kept saying to him lets play in their half and we will be fine.

Great 3 points but lets not get carried away.



It's not being realistic though is it? The reality is that we have the best home record in the league and are now picking up a lot of points away from home, you cant do that by just being "lucky" we deserve to be where we are. Every year whoevers top gets shot down,I remember when QPR where top and people were unimpressed by some of their performaces but in reality they deserved to top because they're winning the most points its as simple as that! Don't think anyones getting carried away but being 10 points clear of one of our main rivals at the half way stage is something to celebrate not question


Yes it is being realistic.

I'll tell you what, if the roles were reversed yesterday and Leicester were top the likes of you would be saying in the pub after the game "How the hell are they top".



No its not! Definition of Realistic- Tending to or expressing an awareness of things as they really are

The Facts are that we are top by 3 points at the half way stage averaging a total of 2 points a game. If we mirror the performances and results of the first half in the second we will be promoted! Thats being realistic not going on a few leciester fans opinions based on one game! Malky has done a fantastic job and anyone looking from the outside seeing that we won our first 10 home games and beat the like of leciester and blackburn on the road wouldn't say "how the hell are they top" and if they do they're obviously lacking in some intelligence . Lets enjoy being top without saying "ahh were lucky to be top blah blah! you can't get lucky for half a season for god sake

Only a Cardiff City messageboard could have people on a downer after such a brilliant
important win away from home. Clueless

Re: " Just back from the game, BUT "

Sun Dec 23, 2012 2:33 pm

Is it April 1st

People moaning we didnt kill a game off that we won!!?!?!??

Leicester not scoring yesterday cost me enough money to pay for xmas but I wouldnt have it any other way of it meant 3 points.

Another warning to our rivals. Now at least 10 points in front of everyone bar 3 teams we will have it sown up by March.

The table doesn't lie. We've shown that we are the best team in the league as we've played everyone now and we're top.

I tell YOU what..

Roles reversed:

Leicester looked great at times. But in a first half totally dominated by Leicester
it was still the clinical finishing of Cardiff City that made the difference. Then in
the second half, although it was mostly Leicester on top, they didnt really have
more than one or two clear cut chances. Cardiff defended brilliantly away from
home and STILL could have scored one or two more

So if i was a Leicester fan, I'd be far more worried, because Id know my side had
a great chance to close the gap. But Cardiff were just that little bit too organised
...away from home, where they were struggling a few weeks ago!!!
