in this league when you are outside the top 8 or so games against the weaker teams are important as we all know.... well 3 games against weak opposition in norwich, swansea and villa are coming up, and as we have games against man u and arsenal (albeit at home where we can give anyone a game), its important that we get 4 points minimum from those first 3, possibly more.........
Villa , Norwich nd swansea poor opposition!!!! Bit harsh on Villa i think Swamp .........................
Swamp! Lot's of viewers but no takers m8. It seems there are lots of take-aways from here to be digested back home. Pussies.
Swamp: I assume you're frazzled from your exams, mate so we'll let this one go. We're having fun with it on our board though.
not frazzled frank, just of the opinion that taking points off teams that will be scrapping at the lower end of the table is crucial, more important than beating big teams at home..........
So you're not on a cheap wum? Wow. That's delusional. If you really think all those three teams you mention will be "scrapping at the lower end of the table" then you really are bonkers. On the other hand if your tongue is firmly in your cheek then good one. Now back to your revision you mad person you.
Think saying 'weaker teams' is putting it wrongly. All 3 of those games should be tough for you lot but I understand where you are coming from, you expect to pick up points from teams around you. As a NCFC supporter I'm hoping for a win and think at home we should be looking to get something, but I don't think of Cardiff as a weaker team and expecting a tough game.
Cardiff: Possession Av 46.13% Opposition 53.88% [Score -7.75] Swansea: Possession Av 56.75% Opposition 43.25% [Score +13.5] Cardiff: Total shots 84, opposition shots 143 [Score -59] Swansea: Total shots 109, opposition shots 93 [score +16] Cardiff: Shots on target 19, opposition 51 [Score -32] Swansea: Shots on target 46, opposition 28 [score +18] Cardiff: Goals scored 8, Conceded 15 [score -7] Swansea: Goals scored 12, conceded 11 [score +1] Total Points: Cardiff: -105.75 Swansea: +48.50 I thought Id share some interesting facts that makes your OP look ridiculous! Seriously the stats are all FACT and not a WUM. Please tell me when you expect to start playing football instead of ball watching and defending?
In all honesty yes we are one of the weaker teams and according to most of the pundits among the favourites to go back down. As were you in your first year.
swansea are 2 points ahead of us in the table (the only stat that counts), so are villa, and norwich are beneath us..... i think its reasonable that we need to obtain 4 points from the next 3 games....... we'll see frank but clearly you're the delusional one if you think you are beyond fighting to stay in the division, 12 teams are and swansea are most certainly one of them. just had a look at last seasons table and you finished 5 points above 16th. you better hope laudrup doesnt share you're delusion or you're in danger of the drop, especially with that overpriced lump bony up front, hope he plays against us.....
The guy who has scored 7 goals in 13 games you mean? Averaging more than 1 every other game? Bony has scored 1 less goal than your team has this season, now that's a stat! Since we have been in the premier league we have not been in a relegation scrap. This season will be no different.
