[quote user="The ſhroud of Turin"][quote user="Sports Desk Pete"][quote user="The ſhroud of Turin"][quote user="pete_norw"]Today, Vaughn to be introduced to media (SSN)[/quote] I don''t think they''ll bother for one player. [/quote] They will. [/quote] If you''re saying there is one, I bet someone else will pitch in also[;)] [/quote] Yeah i''ve heard there is a conference today at about 2pm...  :)

It is a little frustrating how the media suddenly cling to a team once they get Premier League status and soon forget them if they go down. I''ve seen 2 websites now which state Swansea are known as ''the Barcelona of the Championship'' - really? i''ve not heard anyone say that all season. Amuses me though how much attention Cardiff got because everyone was so sure they would be in the Premier League, they had Bellamy on loan, etc.. and now they are forgotten.

i''d like to see him at Carra Rud, though i''m not sure how he and Hoolahan would work togetherBUTi understand he is on £42k per week and therefore he''d surely have to take a paycut to come here - not sure his hair stylist would like that...

I think Reading will beat Swansea and go up - meaning Long is out of the question

Defoe to Norwich is ridiculous - he''d never go for it and we couldn''t afford his wages - end of story. Arsenal are in the market for a proven Premiership striker so i''d imagine they would show interest in him, even if he''s a bit old for Wenger :)

Reading. not only English, but closer than Swansea

QPR away

just to add to this: i believe the ordinary shares can pay dividends if there are available trading profits to distribute, however the company members can agree instead to accumulate the profits in the company and strengthen it further.  i cannot recall any football club, even the Plc''s, paying any dividends in the past few years given the state of football finances. 

far as i''ve heard the only confirmed fixture is Colchester away.  date depends on friendly schedule for each club. wouldn''t mind a trip to Gillingham

the first time i did it (bout 4 years ago) i went in, they had a look where available seats were and i chose one of those. i want 2 together this year, in a decent area, so will be much harder to acheive

never mind new season ticket holders, i''m hoping lots of people will be up for some movin'' and shakin'' next week so me and my mate can sit together.  whilst i like the corner i''m in, and the atmosphere probably wouldn''t be as good, i''d like to sit behind the home team dug out.

Pacheco for his raw talent in attack. Lansbury was amazing for us, but the likes of Crofts and Fox didn''t exactly have a bad season.

Sky and ITV''s news coverage are awful.  seriously if the Sun newpaper did a tv news program it would be more considered and informative  - and i really hate the Sun newspaper.  but at least then it would be a different kind of tit on the screen...  

I was told on Saturday, albeit by a stranger, that the only confirmed friendly was with Colchester United of all people at home, with the date yet to be decided.  he said his son works at CUFC and the 2 clubs have agreed the friendly.

the only complaints i''ve heard are from non-football fans at work, saying "ooo bloody footballers making my bus late" my reply of "well you have 2 legs why not walk?" wasn''t good enough apparently...

not sure that''s strictly within the league rules.. but hey, with some Premier League money we can just pay a fine for any illegal actions we make - as in the case QPR vs Logic.

absolutely make it as grim as possible for away teams - perhaps paint the bench in the away dug out bright pink!

Wayne Bridge? could be amongst those sold by Man City in the summer and if West Ham go down i reckon we''d have a shot but depends largely on his wages i guess. 

[quote user="Mahogany"]I really think we should try to avoid loan signings next year. Lambert has done brilliantly with the ones that have come in over the last couple of seasons but now we have the funds we should get players in permanently. We need the players that we bring in to be an investment otherwise it''ll be the same as last time when we got relegated and had pretty much only the money from Ashton to show for it. The only reason we should go for a loan is if the club we are bringing the player in from is going to pay a significant amount of their wages and not expect a fee from us. I''d love to have Lansbury and/or Pacheco back, but only if we are buying them.[/quote] I''d love them back but really cannot see any other way than if we loan them. Arsenal and Liverpool are big clubs who do not need the money and therefore will want top dollar for 2 promising young players.  We can''t waste a big portion of the budget on players who have little PL experience and, whilst they both did amazing jobs here, neither were first team regulars.

Jimmy Bullard did well for the scum and, since the rumour is they plan to loan him again next year, it would make me smile if we stole him from them!

if Cardiff win the playoffs i''m sure their fickle fans will forgive and forget quicker than a sheep says ''baa''

personally, i wouldn''t rise to this moron - nothing can take away the fantastic feeling of winning promotion to the Premier League. i take pleasure in knowing that we''ve got there without any disorder, corruption, or bad sportsmanship.  We don''t sign players illegally, and we don''t shy away from our debts. no one in all 4 English leagues has had a more exciting season than Norwich City - why would anyone want to support anyone but NCFC, i really don''t know OTBC!

[quote user="Alex"]I want us to win the league!, we took 4 points off QPR and I still feel we''ve been far and away the best footballing side this season - And all with completely legal players. And has anyone actually considered this small matter - Surely we''ll get more than £40 million for going up as Champions?. The £40 million was for 2nd spot - What would we get for 1st, it has to be a fair bit more, surely?.[/quote] i think £40m is what we get from the Premier League next yr - nothing to do with where we finish in the Championship,  however i''m sure there is a prize for each place you finish in the Championship and 1st will inevitably get more than 2nd.   i don''t care where we finish out of 1st or 2nd.

I have a solution for Cardiff fans - move to the League of Wales and you''ll probably win the league and be in Europe next year..  would allow another team to come up from each league below as well... sorted.

That was the rumour, when various other rumours about Green and Ashton were afloat.  Just shows the disorder in the team. Francis did seem to give up as the season went on and never looked as good as he did when we first signed him.  Here''s to Paul Lambert who hasn''t made a bad signing yet in my reckoning.
