    embarrassed to see so many of the blue scarf brigade gone by 70 mins, even MOTD picked it up.

    I'll tell you what's embarrassing, Dai, apart from most of your posts. Having three men in red shirts shouting 'we'll always be blue' and clapping as the hull supporters shout in support of the cardiff 'blue brigade'. That's what's embarrassing. Thick as **** hypocrites.

    You'll also have notice how they were almost laughing in the studio, Dai. Still seeing reasons for optimism?

    Frankly, I don't blame anyone for leaving at the moment. I think the family stand has seen three cardiff goals at their end this season. We are utterly abysmal in front of goal and we've got rid of any other options. It's a ****ing shambles. But I imagine you e got your head so far up your arms that all you see is your glowing red tonsils.

    I thought the whole point of playing in red was because it was suppose to be lucky......Well that ends that myth well and truly...

    Your not down john until it's mathematically say's so. Time maybe running out but your not dead and buried yet....Ole needs to improve the teams man marking though as the amount of space you gave hull was shocking and most certainly the cause of the bad defeat...

    Yes, we will be going down.

    It is not because we are red that did it, but it many ways it was almost that Tan gave too much support. The big rebrand, stadium expansion, huge warchest, just ended up being too much at the wrong time.

    Palace and Hull kept things simple and focused theit attention on the pitch rather than off it and are far more competitive because of it.

    We have a problem if Ole is the manager next season as I do not see him getting us back up.

    In the end a shambles of a season really. One I did not enjoy at all, and a season that made a large part of me lose some of my passion for football in general. When you really focus on the PL and the player antics, ridiculous money, big club bias, and the impossibility of doing anything much without a truckload of cash, I look forward to the championship.

    I thought Leeds had that more than adequately covered to be fair.

    Chin up fellas, you can still stay up. I can't understand all the players OGS has used/rotated? Is that out of necessity or just trying something new? He needs to sort out the defence and central midfield. You do carry a goal threat as you created chances yesterday, it would be much more of a concern if you weren't creating any chances and conceding heavily.

    I think the OP is correct.Until yesterday I thought you had a chance but 0-4 to one of the teams you had to beat is a killer.I think Fulham are down too.Then it's one from the five above you.It could be us but my sneaking suspicion falls on the Black Cats.

    I have accepted relegation. I am in the family stand with my son, so far this season we have paid £129.33 for each goal scored at our end. Perhaps we should start the other way around for the rest of the season (tongue in cheek) will be renewing my season ticket on Thursday (begrudgingly) and i hope OGS stays as i believe we will see a massive improvement next year. Have been attending matches for 43 years and i looked forward to this year with great anticipation. However i have to say to date i think the Premier League is a massive let down. From what i make of it i would say at least 12 clubs have absolutely no chance of success in any shape way or form. Gutted.

    That post made me smile.I remembered going to a game at Kenilworth Rd when I was at college in Bedford in the 1975/6 season.A father and son stood behind me and during half time dad said "I think we will see a radical change in tactics in the second half" "What do you think they will do dad?".... "They will kick in the opposite direction"

    Spot on - i will never forget how Fulham managed to stay up in 2007/8 when they were 'dead and buried' in the January (i think) and certainly in a far worse position than you are - good luck anyway and hope your fortunes change for the better.

    I can understand the feelings, but you were far from the worst teams we've played. The scoreline can be misleading and I doubt any of us were confident up to that first goal, which was against a run of solid Cardiff pressure. If some of those shots had gone in, you'd have a whole different feel to the future.

    There's a few teams I'd rather see go down than Cardiff.

    Good luck.

    That is the way it goes though.When we played there we peppered the Cardiff goal with shots for ninety minutes and lost.Sometimes it just isn't (or is) your day.

    Very true, and that luck can change at any moment with no clear rhyme or reason. There's a good lump of us that are still far from safe.
