First topic message reminder :

It was always going to be hard for Hughton.

The Norwich family never really took to him as one of their own

by mystiroakey Mon Nov 04, 2013 1:35 am

I think Wenger sees many of his players as direct replacements so can rotate bar flamini who for me needs to play over arteta if fit

by NickisBHAFC Mon Nov 04, 2013 1:35 am

Now that is an amazing tackle.

by mystiroakey Mon Nov 04, 2013 1:36 am

two high quality defensive units going at it today!!

Not the best game though

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon Nov 04, 2013 1:37 am

What control? In the air I can more likely pull my legs out if need be. On the deck I'm tied to the restrictions of the ground holding my legs in position.

Im not saying its a good thing to do, but you cant really judge tackles on hypotheticals. Hypothetically, every tackle carries risk if its timed poorly. I think intent and the actual contact should be of more importance than positioning.

by kingraf Mon Nov 04, 2013 1:40 am

Why exactly do you put Flamini above Arteta, Mystir? I have them roughly even, tbh.

Of course he could control himself. He could pull his legs away in mid air. If he's sliding on the ground like Dolph says he's probably got less chance of getting out the way

0-0 written all over this game.

1-0 Soldado dodgy pen if this season is anything to go by

by NickisBHAFC Mon Nov 04, 2013 1:54 am

Kevin Freind really is a cr*p ref.

by Hammersmith harrier Mon Nov 04, 2013 1:54 am

Coleman was too honest there but good to see a player get to his feet instead of rolling around.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Nov 04, 2013 2:07 am

Ouch...

by NickisBHAFC Mon Nov 04, 2013 2:09 am

Hugo Lloris what a tw*t

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Nov 04, 2013 2:09 am

Kevin Friend stands out as a beacon of crap in a sea of refereeing mediocrity.

huh?

by NickisBHAFC Mon Nov 04, 2013 2:12 am

Should of got of the pitch, instead holding up everyone's time. Did he really need to act like a baby over playing the last 15 minutes of a game, its also not like Tottenham have a crap 2nd choice keeper!

Come on Hammersmith, how dare he have the temerity to take his time after being nearly knocked out! Wink

by Hammersmith harrier Mon Nov 04, 2013 2:14 am

You don't half talk some rubbish, Lloris was well within his rights to wait until he was ready to continue especially as a goalkeeper.

by NickisBHAFC Mon Nov 04, 2013 2:16 am

How good is that Spanish lad that has come on for Everton, think we were linked with him in the summer!

by NickisBHAFC Mon Nov 04, 2013 2:17 am

Cardiff team v Swansea: Marshall, Taylor, Caulker, Turner, Whittingham, Medel, Odemwingie, Mutch, Cowie, Theophile-Catherine, Bellamy

Swansea team v Cardiff: Vorm, Rangel, Williams, Chico, Taylor, Britton, Shelvey, de Guzman, Routledge, Dyer, Mich

by NickisBHAFC Mon Nov 04, 2013 2:27 am

What a rubbish game.

by CFCNick Mon Nov 04, 2013 2:28 am

Great result.

by mystiroakey Mon Nov 04, 2013 2:32 am

9 Mins of injury time.

There may as well of been 900 mins and there still wouldn't have been a goal

A Chelsea fan worried about a top 4!!!

by Duty281 Mon Nov 04, 2013 2:35 am

I think the phrase is: Both teams cancelled each other out. Tottenham were the better in the first half, and Everton were the better in the second. Both teams had a solid defence, a midfield with glimpses of quality, and an isolated frontman.

And both teams should have had a penalty.

Absorbing game nonetheless.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon Nov 04, 2013 2:36 am

Indeed, dull in some senses but absorbing in that it did feel like two good teams were just battling each other out, with the quality to open it up maybe.

This.

Both sides im sure will be happy with a point.

Incredibly Tottenham have 1 more point than Citeh, but have scored 19 goal less.

Got to love the Premier league!

by mystiroakey Mon Nov 04, 2013 2:49 am

That pic represents an awesome stat and we are only 10 games in!!

by NickisBHAFC Mon Nov 04, 2013 3:09 am

Atmosphere is class in the Cardiff City stadium!

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon Nov 04, 2013 3:17 am

I hope this kicks off, so i can then be indignantly angry about it.

by NickisBHAFC Mon Nov 04, 2013 3:19 am

Im sure it will Chris, for games like this, it just attracts people to go and cause trouble rather than have much care about the football game itself!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Nov 04, 2013 3:38 am

If ever a game needed a goal...

by compelling and rich Mon Nov 04, 2013 3:39 am

today is most definitely not a super sunday of football!!

by NickisBHAFC Mon Nov 04, 2013 3:47 am

0-0 written all over this one as well! Dire first half.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Nov 04, 2013 3:48 am

Was there even a shot on target?

by mystiroakey Mon Nov 04, 2013 3:49 am

both teams are scared of losing, Swansea need to commit more players up the field for this to become a game.

by NickisBHAFC Mon Nov 04, 2013 3:51 am

What are people opinions of half and half scarfs?

They have got them for today's game between Cardiff and Swansea. Personally i would never wear a scarf with another side's logo on it, and 100% not my rivals logo!

Half and half scarfs, like clappers, goal music, and drums need to be banned from football and in the bin where they belong!!!

by mystiroakey Mon Nov 04, 2013 3:53 am

If you can point me to a palace Brighton one. I will buy it

by NickisBHAFC Mon Nov 04, 2013 3:55 am

We haven't released one, probably because our clubs know it would be a stupid idea!

Just wondered what people think of half and half scarfs, can't imagine many Cardiff and Swansea fans brought them today!

by mystiroakey Mon Nov 04, 2013 3:57 am

I am going to make one.

In regards to Cardiff and Swansea- i think many would have bought it for the historic first PL derby game.

by NickisBHAFC Mon Nov 04, 2013 4:01 am

Hmmmm that is true, but im just saying in general i can't stand them. I suppose for once in a life time games e.g. Manchester United vs Crawley Town, Burton Albion, Exeter City scarfs for those games are a nice little thing to have to say you've been to the game a bit like a match program.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Nov 04, 2013 4:04 am

It's a scarf. Who really cares

by Guest Mon Nov 04, 2013 4:08 am

What a shocking day in the EPL. Next Sunday needs to roll around quickly - triple bill of games.

by mystiroakey Mon Nov 04, 2013 4:08 am

If there was a scarf that read "Brighton v SCUM"

I am sure Nick would spend his parents money on it!

by NickisBHAFC Mon Nov 04, 2013 4:14 am

Yeah next Sunday should be decent!

Tottenham vs Newcastle - 12:00
Sunderland vs Man City - 14:05
Man United vs Arsenal - 16:10

But the biggest game is on ITV, with Bishop Stortford taking on Northampton, followed by the FA Cup 2nd round draw Barclays Premier League 13/14 Thread - Page 13 3559488474

Sorry hugo heart

Seems like only a season ago when Utd fans were saying Arsenal-Utd games where no longer a big deal. How prophetic.

by NickisBHAFC Mon Nov 04, 2013 4:19 am

Bored, so stuck £5 on Bellamy to score first.

£60 back.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Nov 04, 2013 4:19 am

Caulker Nick, 1-0
