BBM: EXCITED / CARDIFF IS ALL THAT MATTERS TO ME

Thu Aug 13, 2026 5:38 pm

BBM:


"We can't wait. The length of the build-up means as you get closer, the excitement grows. I think you can feel a real buzz in the city for the game, and we're all looking forward to it.

"We're under no illusions about how tough the game is going to be, but that's probably what makes it so exciting. The reward of what the players did last season is to have games of this calibre, so we'll give it everything we have, and have a right go at it.

"In line with a lot of last season, that game against them last season is in the past, and we're very much looking forward to the future. We have a real hunger and appetite to improve on what we did last season.

"We saw it a few times last season; when we get support of that volume, the night games in particular, the atmosphere is going to be rocking, I'm sure. We'll try and give them every reason to make it even more of an enjoyable evening.

"The energy from the supporters is incredible, and hopefully what we'll see on Monday is an atmosphere that befits the stadium and the Club. We'll try and do our part by producing a performance that gives us a chance to win.

"Cardiff City feels like the biggest club in the world, to me. With all due respect, the people in North America are irrelevant to me - the people of Cardiff are the only ones that matter to us - and the people in Malaysia, our bosses. We always try and play for the supporters, and the focus is totally on ourselves.

"I think one of the beauties of this season is for a lot of us, we're going into the unknown. We see that as being very exciting, and something that we're all really looking forward to.

"Our feeling is that we can surprise a lot of people. We're not naive, and we're under no illusions about how difficult the season is going to be, but the size of the challenge improves the size of our excitement. The bigger the challenge, the more we look forward to it."

Who’s going to tell me?

You can tell me yourself and yes a rare but refreshing positive. I’m impressed!

You see, there’s no need for abuse or anger if we have different views in life or in football.

I’m looking forward to Monday too :bluescarf:

I dont think ive ever abused you.
Ive called negative, a moaner etc but ive never been personal or swore at you.

On the other hand you've lost your temper and sworn at me in the past.

However, im a big boy and can take it so its no problem.

We both want a good display and 3 points on Monday.
