The Football League Thread

Watford v Cardiff this weekend is going to be huge. Dare i say if they beat Watford there's no way Cardiff could balls it up

If Cardiff don't get promoted this season, then I swear that this long myth will continue. They've been trying for so long, but just like how Wigan never manage to get relegated and survive at the skin of their teeth, Cardiff contrarily bottle it at the last hurdle. You've got to feel for them and the fans, they come so close every year, play slick styled football but still stay in the championship. Beating Watford on Saturday in the promotion chasing clash will be vital; 3 points would almost seal automatic promotion (although promotion does look very likely already). They need to go up this season to end the curse and it's kind if weird cos now they have a red kit and have binned the nostalgic blue strip due to the interests of the owners. But this season could finally be the year that Cadiff go up and finally get rid if this repetitive cycle, and then of course it'll be the battle to stay in the PL.

Yeah man, the if anything just for the fans. I remember the playoff game against Blackpool in that final just how dejected everyone was. Every year their there or thereabouts but seem to choke when it gets toughest. Need more of Kim Bo Kyung he looks a quality player but Malky sticks with some of the older guns in the squad.

Gotta say I was delighted with that result - hollowhead may be a pathetic manager and an utter clown, but the way youse cheated your way through the semis (3 ****ing good penalty calls not given in the first leg, including the most blatant handball I've ever seen) made me desperate to see Cardiff stay down and rot.

I'm not a Cardiff fan I just live there

while not football league I felt it deserved a mention. Put yourself in Ebbsfleet fans shoes, those that made the journey to the game all the way up at Barrow found it was delayed till ten past nine because ebbsleets coach got stuck in traffic and finished around 11pm. I salute those who went.

I am reminded of an email sent to me from a Swansea fan which gave ten reasons why someone has lived in London too long if..., ten for Manchester, ten for Birmingham and just one for Cardiff- you have lived too long in Cardiff if.. you are still living there.

Coming from Gravesend they should be used to darkness and depression!

Haha! Harsh but agreeable.

Gotta say I was delighted with that result - hollowhead may be a pathetic manager and an utter clown, but after the Cardiff fans came over to foxestalk to gloat, I really wanted them to have to eat their share of humble pie

The method of your semis victory (in particular the couple of stonewallers we didn't get given in the first leg) made it easier to be pleased for Blackpool as well

Can't see Huddersfield surviving, and as a Barnsley fan, I really hope they don't. Gonna be close for relegation then. We play Huddersfield the last game of the season, and the way things are going, it'll be a massive match

Would be interesting to see Robins return to L1 so soon after jumping ship to leave it.

Well done to MK Dons for their result against us. I'm in Malta at the moment so it was kinda hard to keep track of what was going on, but it sounds like they scored a wonder goal against us early on and that took all of the fight out of us. I hear we took a lot of fans and were overconfident - always a mistake against MK Dons. We've got a good record against them recently so I think we might have taken it for granted. Alex (I think?) might be able to confirm that on this thread.

I still think we've got an excellent chance of going up. A lot rides on tomorrow's game against Coventry. I'll be in the Maltese national stadium watching the womens national team play Luxembourg in a world cup qualifier, then staying put to see Valletta play Mosta. Valletta are the champions but will most likely still be a lot worse than what I see in League One every week!

And it'll be really bizarre to see a match in the sun. Not used to that in England over the past... well, entire season!

Yeah same here, here's hoping for Huddersfield and Sheffield Wednesday to both go down, although it's ridiculously close at the moment
