City Till I Die 0 Posted January 30, 2014 Has us down to lose 2-0 to Cardiff, just reading his comments about the match and not one word about Norwich! Bellend! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellowbeagle 0 Posted January 30, 2014 Isn''t He entitled to his opinion, I''ve never found him to be constantly rubbishing us. To be fair we have pretty consistently been crap away from home for much of the last 2 seasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
City Till I Die 0 Posted January 30, 2014 Oh course he''s entitled to his opinion just like we all are, we have been rubbish away from home but we win games when it matters (just like at stoke) but Cardiff are rock bottom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricardo 7,339 Posted January 30, 2014 Who cares what he predicts?If his predictions had been right last season QPR would still be in the Premier League. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanaryOne 0 Posted January 30, 2014 Rock bottom but more than capable of beating Norwich on their own ground and the Welsh press are bigging this up as their game of the season so far . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We don''t score goals and we''re poor on the road in general, they need to win desperately to lose to us on Saturday and it will be a huge blow to their survival hopes. I''m just hoping we put in a performance like the Stoke one you mention, then I''d feel we are more than capable of winning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
City Till I Die 0 Posted January 30, 2014 Yeah their game of the season, who''s saying that this isn''t massive must win game for us aswell! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,632 Posted January 30, 2014 To be fair Cardiff have just bought in a new manager who was (overly?) bigged-up by the media, + a pile of new players, so it could be said that a level of expectation exists and the ''easy'' option is to predict a home win. But hopefully the expectation will fall flat and we can take advantage. I''d personally go for a draw if I was predicting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow Bird 0 Posted January 30, 2014 You can''t blame anyone predicting a defeat on recent games. He''s entitled to his opinion and I think he actually likes Norwich and slate us like some. All we have to do is prove him, and others, wrong... ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow Bird 0 Posted January 30, 2014 I meant doesn''t slate us in my above post! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 271 Posted January 30, 2014 Well most people on here cant see where our points are going to come from, so why shouldnt Merson?All the more pressure and expectation for Cardif :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YellowFellow 0 Posted January 30, 2014 if cardiff were playing hull or villa or stoke or palace et id probably expect a home win too, so fair enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Making Plans 936 Posted January 30, 2014 If he saw our "match" against Newcastle then I''m surprised he''s only forecasting as little as 2 nil. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
