Fact you made a post predicting Cardiff to get relegated is a bit stupid

Why is he being stupid? I think most of us think the same, although we're all hoping to be proved wrong obviously.

Virtually everyone I know (apart from the die hards on this forum) think City will be relegated. We are favourites to go straight back down so I would think the OP is far from being stupid. I am hoping we will find three teams who may finish lower than us, but it's not easy. I am going for us to finish in 17th place, but it would be a brave person who puts any money on us avoiding relegation.

Agree with you both, as it stands I think we are going down, rather be honest and wrong than bullshit, fair play to the OP for saying it how he see's it imo.

Of course we will go down, let’s be honest we aren’t even making much of an effort to stay up.
Fine by me, the PL is all about the big 6 and player valuations and wages have become ludicrous. £100m for getting to the PL is no longer enough.
I hope that when (“if” for the optimists) we are back in the championship we have become a stronger club on and off the pitch and can compete at the top again. Happy to yo-yo for the foreseeable

Prem - Man City
Relegated - Huddersfield, Watford, Cardiff
Champ - Derby + Villa/ Leeds, Stoke, Forest, Middlesboro
Relegated - Hull, Rotherham, Reading
League 1 - Sunderland + Charlton/ Barnsley, Coventry, Plymouth, Shrewsbury
Relegated - Wycombe, Walsall, Fleetwood, Bristol Rovers
League 2 Notts County + Oldham/ Swindon, MK Dons, Exeter, Mansfield
Relegated - Stevenage, Newport

I think we’ll go down. Don’t see that as being stupid?

Obviously hope I’m wrong but have to be honest in my prediction.

I didn’t mean it to sound so blunt by saying it’s stupid to have that opinion. I just mean we must be the only forum in the country who make a post that already says we’re going down. I just don’t know why we want to put it in writing, let’s be more optimistic lol. If everyone was honest do you seriously think we’ll go down? Because I really don’t tbh, again don’t mind if we do because we will be in a good position either way, but I genuinely think we’ll stay up... our team has a lot of quality that people outside of city don’t notice, and that’s fine by me. But surely you lot must see our quality

i think saying "i dont mind if we get relegated" is more stupid that predicting itll happen

you are a Cardiff fan right? why would you be ok with getting relegated.

Paul. Don’t put it out of context. I would love nothing more than for us to stay up, and I expect we will. But I’m reasonably satisfied with the Clubs situation if the worst possible scenario happens and we get relegated. I’m not saying I would want us to get relegated bloody hell mate.

Semantics... people in general seem to accept relegation thinking all we will do is bounce straight back up. now we are here lets be trying whatever we can to stay here!

Done mine today too.

Man City

I think Stoke are the easy pick to go up, but they will come short. They're a load of big money players who don't give a shit.

Here's to hoping anyway

Liverpool
West Brom
Sunderland
