Just heard that James Earl Jones, aka the voice of Darth Vader has died. I've had him on my 'list of dinner guests' for some time. A wonderfully resonant voice that sometimes distracted you from the quality of his acting. John Rhys-Davies another I could spend time just listening to.

Looks like we have a new senior pie eater. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/tonights-cardiff-city-news-star-29829994

Stealing someone else's idea, a thread on the players we have loaned out. Might be a bit more interesting this year with quite a few promising youngsters needing game time, rather than it just being journeymen we're farming out to run down their contracts. Some genuine cause for optimism...

Right, seeing as Sparkey is letting things slip and Clingo can't be @r$ed, thought I'd take the moral high ground. Transfer thread, self explanatory, championship thread for talking about other clubs, this for all the gumph about us leading up to the start of the season. In summary, so far so...

About time. Professional fouls need eradicating. Should have happened 30 years ago. As should docking teams points for 'cheating', like diving. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68246971

It's been mooted on these pages often enough. Its probably the biggest thing missing that lets us down, why we keep lurching from playing style to playing style and why we don't see enough youngsters coming through the ranks. I've mentioned this guy before. I think he would be an ideal...

Here we go again. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/cardiff-city-hit-transfer-embargo-25756128

We had a now defunct Morison thread. Now we need a Hudson thread though dont know how long it will run. Watched his post Blackburn and pre-Wigan interviews. In two minds. At times he seemed quite stilted and awkward, at others relaxed and fluid. Some questions he was enthusiastic and bullish...

Not a royalist but the news that HRH is seriously unwell is quite sad. Her children on the way to Balmoral gives a clue.

A few of us post on stuff happening away from football and the cardiff city universe. We read of sparkey's adventures in the far south east of the country in his X5 with his dogs. Of the conflict in the brizzle household relating to cross border marriages and the fondness for Muff. And me, I...

I mentioned in another thread there were players in our squad with nationalities I don't recall having represented us before. So I did a bit of a trawl. We now have players with allegiances to: England Wales Antigua and barbuda Republic of Ireland Nigeria Cote d’Ivoire Gambia St Kitts and Nevis...

I wonder if Mahlon's dad would play a few tracks? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazzie_B

Bored out of my skull at the moment. Felt unwell on Friday while fishing. Went downhill quickly after I got home. Daughter had been unwell since Tuesday but thought it was heat exhaustion as she'd been showing at the Cheshire show all day. Anyway, Friday she phoned Mrs Remote to say she'd tested...

No more important as a fan than anyone on here, or any other bluebird fan really. But nice to see his achievement. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/61677332

Just reading about the selection of Connolly and King for Wales U21s upcoming games. Just out of interest, had a squiz at the rest of the squad and the teams they played for. Very few cardiff and swansea players in there, mainly from English clubs, and mainly from below the premiership. Then two...

Doesn't make happy reading. Sad for him and his family, especially as this verdict will raise his death up again for them. He played for city during my early years of watching. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-61304628

Just thinking about yesterday's results and Everton slipping into the bottom 3. Who would fare better in the championship? I feel Burnley are more a championship type team and would do better. Everton could even implode. Who would be more likely to go back up? I know Everton have a game in...

Looked back a few pages and couldn't see a thread on the man at the helm. He's cropped up in other threads but thought it worth a discussion. What do we think about his longer term tenure? Only contracted to the end of the season, but if he's going to get the gig longer term, it would be good...

Just watching MotD and the VAR offside check was prominent. Got me wondering about rule inconsistencies and how we could give the advantage to the attacker. After all, everyone wants to see more goals. The inconsistency? For a goal, all of the ball has to be over all of the line. Yet with...
