Da iawn Whitts!

Going to be a few absent well wishers on here.......

Well deserved

Well deserved! Still one of the best players in the league and will go down as an all time City legend!

Whitts has been cardiffs player of the decade as well totally deserved

Stuff you the Witts knockers - which are more or less the recent plastics. A super footballer and a dedicated Bluebird. His touch and control on the ball on Saturday was way above everyone's else.

Well done Whitts.

Surely Bale shouldn't be in there, how many games did he even get at Southampton? Glenn Murray only had one stand out season as well from what I can remember.

Very well deserved Surprised Charlie Adam wasn't in there, led an average Blackpool team to the prem and done ok since.

Absolutely delighted. Well deserved. A true legend who does not deserve much of the abuse he gets.

Very well deserved based on his time here. Although I wouldn't go by this season...

Well deserved.

Great timing with some calling for him to be dropped.

A hugely deserved accolade for a very professional, loyal BLUEBIRD. Long may it continue and when it comes time for him to hang up his boots, a nice job working for the club as an ambassador etc.

Ask any non-Cardiff fan to name a player and you'll get Peter W within a couple of answers. He is a legend. There, I said it!!

Good spot. I thought I was the only one that noticed that on Saturday!
Having a tough time at the moment due to Slades system but still a class act & City legend.

He does what he wants.............................................

Well done Whitts

To all the Whitts knockers, stick that in your pipe and smoke it, you know nothing about football when you continually drag this true Bluebird down, all I can say is Peter Whittingham, a true Cardiff City legend and has been a great servant to the club, he could have jumped ship many times but he is very happy here. Well done Whitts, very well deserved.

Omg Steve you really are what the 3 people are you have just mentioned but no disrespect intended for their disability. Wake up Stevie boy and open your eyes
Now where's that troobloo3339 smiley Owain
Like I've always been saying, 4 managers can't be wrong, he is always picked so you do the math.

There is always a village idiot and we have just found him! ( Wouldn't recognise a good footballer even if he played for us for say 8 years!! ). Well done Whitts - this is no surprise to the vast majority of Cardiff City fans.

Haha like gestede who I supported 100% when he was our player
And have a look at the shit I took for that
It's all oppinions mate
But minority oppinions on here that don't go along with the sheep followers and agendas are ridiculed
IMO whitts is finished
And has been for the last 3 seasons
Villa new he was not prem class that's why they let him go CHEAP
Yes I know he scored 20 goals in one season for us 12/13 was it from penalties

Bluebird Legend

Thoroughly well deserved. Well done Whitts!

Criticism about his current form has absolutely nothing to do with what he has done for the club.

Great timing with some calling for him to be dropped.

A hugely deserved accolade for a very professional, loyal BLUEBIRD. Long may it continue and when it comes time for him to hang up his boots, a nice job working for the club as an ambassador etc.

A top player for me , always gets flak from the clueless minority on here when the " Whole" mid field is not performing
He has suffered under Slade's philosophy on how the game should be played
Would like to have seen him rested for Ralls , when we were safe from relegation
When his playing days are over , could'nt think of a better ambassador for the club

In all seriousness Steve, I agreed 100% with you about Rudy but you are very very wrong about Whitts I'm sorry to say, it's as if you have something personal against him because I can't believe for the life of me it's because of footballing reasons, look at the bigger picture, where he was being played didn't suit his game style and when he is played to his strengths he is the best creative midfielder in the championship bar none but as you say it's all about opinions.
So who exactly are the sheep followers and who are the sheep here in this particular instance?? I hope you are not referring to me being a follower of sheep as I have always rated Whitts and never have slagged him off unlike some on here that as far as I'm concerned no nothing about football. I make my own judgements on players whether I think they are good players or bad and have never followed anyone elses stance on players just because it suits the agenda of that person, I do actually have my own mind.
I have never seen or heard you praise Whitts when he has been brilliant for us, instead you have kept quiet, but when he has had a bad game, and lets face it all players do, you are on his back like a lion after a wilderbeast. Another poster on here springs to mind that has the same input as you when it comes to Whitts, he goes by the username of City Slicker, are you sure you're not him?
Anyway I thought I had to say my piece and now it's rant over, you hate Whitts, (why, I'm not quite sure), and I rate him highly along with 3 previous managers and the current one, I know who I'm going to go with on Whitts and it's not you
As far as Villa letting him go is concerned, many clubs have made mistakes releasing players too early and then regretting it later on, Villa are one of those clubs regarding Whittingham.
You stated a prime example which tells me you don't actually know what job is expected from Whitts when you mentioned about his 20 goals in one season but 12/13 were penalties. He is not a goalscorer, he is a set piece taker and a creative midfielder so most of his goals are going to come from set pieces who is the best for assists, remind me please, oh yes it's none other than Whitts
It's good to have banter as long as it don't get personal, see you on Saturday

very well put mate, 100% agree with you

City Slicker here Tenerife! No I'm not Trooblu but we obviously have similar views on Whittingham.

I didn't particularly want to post on this Whittingham Celebration thread because I thought it inappropriate as I'm not a member of the ' Whitts Appreciation Club' but thanks for inviting me.

I think Depressed Blue got it right when he said that his current form shouldn't detract from his past contribution to the club's fortune. I think that statement is right and I applaud Peter for his award and think it deserved. I will not go as far as to say he is Premier Class and I think Trooblu was right in his Aston Villa comments. However the guy has been a very good player at Championship level and just about deserved to be included in the list, although, in my opinion in the company of some far better players than him such as Bale and Lallana who I doubt even you would compare him with. Nevertheless I am pleased a Cardiff City player received this award and I am pleased for Whittingham.

However, I'm glad you said it shouldn't get personal because it seems whenever anyone makes any adverse comment about Whittingham his army of fans start spouting obscenities etc. as we have witnessed previously in the thread.

I dont think he is anywhere near as good as he was and of course age creeps up on all of us and I dont buy the argument he's played out of position either. He's still a good player but his lack of pace and his tendency to go missing in games counts massively against him in my opinion. I've read some of supporters say hes had a brilliant game when all hes done is a few sideways passes and maybe a couple of good corner kicks and then we get slated when we say he hasn't done very much. You can't win I suppose, thats football. If someone has a hero they'll support them to the hilt and often blindly. I dont see many Whittingham supporters praising Gunnar for some killer balls which he has made to the strikers many time. Many would prefer to call him a donkey in support of Whittingham.

But there you are, football is all about opinions and without them it would be less fun! Congratulations to Whittingham!

Really pleased for Whitts that he has received this recognition and, in my opinion, it is thoroughly deserved. Over the last 8 years Whitts has created one record after another which prove that he has the talent to perform as well as anyone at Championship level.

Only one other player has appeared in more Championship games in the last decade and that is Lee Grant, without one season in the Premier League, Whitts would top the appearance table.

No other player in the last decade has provided more assists than Whitts, and he has also scored more penalties than any other player, he is joint 3rd in the list of most hatricks and he is 5th in the list of highest goalscorers in the last 10 years.

In my opinion Whitts is THE standout player for a place in the Championship team of the decade.
