CRAIG BELLAMY v SWANSEA TOWN

Sun Oct 31, 2010 11:16 am

This should be the game of his life - If there was ever a game to become a Cardiff Hero - then where better to start? A defining moment for him in a City shirt? Aggression, Passion, Speed, Class and Skill........ more importantly, leadership qualities and current captain should in theory make him a stand out difference in this coming Derby..... are the Jacks going to be running scared of Craig Bellamy? and once again taking their focus off our just as dangerous players in Burke, Whitts and CHOPRA...

your thoughts on Craig Bellamy in next weeks BIG derby game (live on sky?) point to prove?

But surely the jacks must be thinking the same we're banging them in too, take the 5 games in October, we scored 14 goals jacks only 6 goals, I think the jacks should be more worried than us, even without Bothroyd. Remember Chops last year ;)

Live on BBc 1 !

Swansea will be prepared for all our team . We have played into their hands with Jay getting himself booke , that is massive loss for us massive .........

Will be good game but typical derby match - cant wait

Craig I think that Bellamy will be up for this game and he understands and knows what it means to us, he will get everyone of the players up for it :ayatollah:

i worry that he'll lose his head, he's shown great character and leadership since being he but has been known to be a bit hot headed in the past. lets just hope he keeps his cool and the emotions of playing the jacks dont get to him

Carl, I agree. I believe that Swansea is not JUST a derby game, they are ONE OF the better footballing teams in the division whether we like it or not, QPR might be our closest rivals but i still think that Swansea will go on to have a fantastic season and be there or there abouts to get promotion (play offs possibly 2nd spot! ;) ) Therefore, Bellamy has to let his experience over rule his emotions and just play his game..... without Pratley - Swansea are a different team, even though we are without Jay.

I am worried that some prick like Tate will try and make a name for himself with the travellers fans (I mean travelling fans oh no right the first time) and injure Bellamy.

When we signed him quite a few Jack fans said we will break his leg when we play you !!!

Fingers crossed we have a decent ref, because I am sure they will be trying to stop us play rather than play themselves.

We will still win though and I can see a sending off for one of them.

2-1 City :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Thanks for your interest and detailed views Baz! I am shaking with excitement at the prospect of Craig Bellamy leading the line against our biggest all time rivals! Hopefully, a blinding atmosphere will go a long way to motivating the players also!!

My only worry is that they will try to wind him up to get him sent off. I don't believe they'll succeed as I believe "our Craig" (that's got such a good ring to it!) is too good for that and indeed too good for them.

I've been worried before our last 2 games thinking that we'd be given a good game and we've won 7 v 1!!!

I can't help but worry about this game coz it's a derby and 2 of my directors in work are jacks but I hope we simply are too good for them.

UP THE CITY!

Every team we play in this league will raise there game because who we have playing for us and we are red hot favorites. The jacks will raise there game because of that and some more again because its the Derby. And the majority of there players have played in this derby before so know what to expect.

Personally i cant wait because as we all know, past form counts for nothing in this game.And that's why its the tastiest derby match anywhere in the country,from the hatred on the terraces where i do believe this is the only derby match where you can't have supporters walking together or any where near. The players have a rivalry i understand which is also unmatched leading up to one hell of a game. No wonder all the TV stations clamour to get this game. The BBC has it this time so a lot more will be watching.
