    Sparky , think we'll finish around mid table, you will probably finish above us , just, maybe top 6 , maybe not, don't think you'll go up though.
    BTW are u still getting parachute payments ?

    Yup - this is the last year though. After this we're on our own financially - all down to Tan and our club's marketing strategy.

    As for our finish this season, I very much expect a top 6 as being a real possibility - top 2 is a long shot. <ok>

    Exactly what I was getting at Supcon, next season they'll be on a similar footing to us , will be interesting to see how they fare then .

    What a load of tosh from you two.......<laugh>

    You clearly don't understand how the parachute payment system functions, and FFP works. To say "next season they'll be on a similar footing to us , will be interesting to see how they fare then" is the biggest laugh of all.

    I fully accept that you have never experienced dropping down from the Premier League - you'll need to get there first....<laugh>

    If Lansdown hadn't been writing off your losses this past God knows how many years , you would have sunk without trace like we nearly did before Tan arrived. Just be grateful that an owner like yours has deep pockets, because without him, it would be you that'd be fu**ked......<laugh>

    Now look guys, let's keep ths civil and concentrate on the football please rather than trying to score Brownie points like internet children. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    So now it's back to the football.

    Now come on lads, the Blades did you a favour last night putting Leeds to the sword - at least you could ovetake them today. Villa don't play until tomorrow and Norwich have a toughie against Derby this afternoon.

    All you've got to do is beat Sunderland and you could be back in 4th tonight. <ok>

    Sparky I had a night out in Taffs Well working club last night.
    Could not believe it I got 2 pints and a vodka and lemonade (Smirnoff) for £7 a round.

    ROD - funny you mention Taffs Well. During the summer, Warnock said he wanted to get closer to the grass roots in the area and told his driver to take him to a local football club - the driver chose Taffs Well FC.

    Warnock got out of the car and knocked on the clubhouse door. He asked them if they fancied a pre-season game against the "mighty" Cardiff City. After they'd picked themselves up off the floor, it was arranged and they staged our first pre-season game at their place. Without being cynical, that's what you call marketing and club promotion at minimal cost.

    As far as the cheap prices of beer is concerned, two pints of what? That Well water comes in very handy......<laugh> <ok>

    Did they pick themselves off the floor from laughing at the 'mighty' Cardiff statement...

    No, they just enjoyed the gesture from Warnock - the "mighty" bit was my addition. No need to be a tart Supcon.

    "You'll lose to Sunderland", well that's the first thing you got wrong. Clown. 1 win out of 4 for the Malaysian turncoats. Maybe you might need to change your kit colour again to change your fortunes? <laugh>
