2nd place.....................

Tue Feb 05, 2013 9:25 pm

Would you accept second place now?

We have a 10 point lead and a more than fair bet to be champions.
We have the excitement/nerves of every Saturday/Tuesday.
Not sure if theres a cash incentive for being champs or not.

So, would u take it now?

Would be VERY disappointed TBF ;)

THIS team have the makings of CHAMPIONS and we should have some games to spare on current form ;) :ayatollah:

Mind you, this IS Cardiff City FC and we can't rest until the mathematic equations are exhausted, eh? :lol: :lol: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Yes in a heart beat.

Re: 2nd place.....................

Tue Feb 05, 2013 9:39 pm

no, not yet! We're 10 points clear! I want to go up as champions.................ask me again in a months time though!

Re: 2nd place.....................

Tue Feb 05, 2013 9:41 pm

yes

Re: 2nd place.....................

Tue Feb 05, 2013 10:02 pm

No.

If we don't go up as champions from this position then it'll be the biggest bottle job we've ever done in my opinion.

Re: 2nd place.....................

Tue Feb 05, 2013 10:05 pm

yes!

Re: 2nd place.....................

Tue Feb 05, 2013 10:12 pm

YES TOO RIGHT! 1st or 2nd aslong as it means promotion :malky:

Re: 2nd place.....................

Tue Feb 05, 2013 10:14 pm

No.....I would love to put this Bottlers Tag to bed.....I would like us to go on and break our club records away wins etc, and win the championship title by 15-20 points.....and I think we are well on track. :malky:

It's refreshing to see so many sensible posters after the lot that flooded the Leicester forum replete with their delusions of grandeur. It goes without saying that you lot are best placed to win the whole shebang, but if anyone in the Championship would say no to 2nd then they really don't understand the nature of the league.

I would take 2nd right now yes ,although it would be a bonus to win the league but once your in the prem who gives a shit if you go up 1st or 2nd

Re: 2nd place.....................

Tue Feb 05, 2013 11:42 pm

Seems strange to admit but the team have set the bar so high second would be a bit of an anticlimax.

Re: 2nd place.....................

Tue Feb 05, 2013 11:44 pm

As long as we go up, I'll be happy but it would be nice to win a trophy in May.

you got odds on city to get 95 points or more?

Re: 2nd place.....................

Tue Feb 05, 2013 11:57 pm

I would be disappointed if we finish 2nd, so that says a lot. :malky:

Darran - the spread companies will give you odds on this . i have an example below - they say we will get 92 pts max ATM.

So if you have a pound on us getting more than 92pts and we get 95pts - you win 3 x your stake ( 95 - 92 = 3pts )

http://www.sportingindex.com/spread-bet ... M3741468_1

Dangerous market to play on this,as if the total pts we get are eg 85 you loose 7 x your money i think (or is it 5.5) :?

Re: 2nd place.....................

Wed Feb 06, 2013 11:44 am

Yes, without doubt - all I want is promotion, and 2nd would put less pressure on us next year as well - as if we get up as champions with a big gap between us and 2nd place, I think we'd have more pressure to do well at the start next year as well, so finishing 2nd would do me very nicely :ayatollah: :malky: :malky:

I'll still be pretty happy though if we were to go up as Champions :lol: :ayatollah: :malky:

Re: 2nd place.....................

Wed Feb 06, 2013 11:46 am

No, I have £1,500 coming back if City win it :malky:
