**Official Pre-Match Thread - Newcastle v City**

[TDAGlobal Superstar]

Are we downhearted? "Disappointed" would be a better word for me, as this season promised so much and has been a right royal Horlicks at all levels of the club.

The last two games of the season, where relegation is all but a formality, should provide a valuable insight into the attitude and commitment of the individual players to Cardiff City. I don't believe that OGS's job is as safe as some make out. Tan is going to want a quick return to the top flight but I can't see hm throwing good money after bad if the team continues to look as shocking as they have done in recent games.

Newcastle may have their problems, but so many struggling teams have used Cardiff as the game to turn things around this season. For the first time since the Man City home game, I am going to predict a loss and maybe another bad one......0 - 3.

Can't see much that can be done with the team, but I guess Turner in for Cala and maybe Kimbo back for Cowie.

Can't remember the last time I felt this way in the build up to a game. We can win the next two games and we're still down... just want the season to be over.

A win for Fulham (at Stoke) or a draw for Sunderland (at United) would be good enough to send us down today if we also lose. Again, it's a formality for me now so I'm kind of unmoved by it.

I am however very interested in how the players react to confirmed relegation. All eleven on the pitch should be mortified at full time, not laughing and joking like Bosingwa was for QPR last season.

Agree with TDA on this one. How many times have we played teams "out of form" only to get spanked by them?

2-0 to Newcastle.

[Tans TacheNational Legend]

Dissapointed and angry sums up how I feel, This season has been a nightmare from the start.

Prediction for tomorrow 4-1 Newcastle,

Ive tried looking forward to next season and even if we spend I cant see us (at this moment) going back up, Also another thing thats wound me up is I seen someone on Facebook say they arent renewing season ticket because cardiff are getting relegated, fucking plastic c**t ,

I should add the person who posted that on Facebook isnt a lifelong city fan, only started supporting them after we got promoted

My opinion on Liverpool fans took a bit of a hit again recently, when a guy at uni I was speaking to took the opportunity to declare 'everyone loves Liverpool' because I said I wanted Liverpool to win the league. An awful lot of them have a stuck up attitude that they are duty bound to be everyone's team. As much as I pointed out in not a Liverpool fan, I'm a Cardiff fan who admires their style of play. Would he listen?

See my previous post for my response to this.

Inadvertently, my work colleague thinks I'm a Spurs fan after I celebrated their equaliser against WBA the other week. He knows I'm from Cardiff and that I support them but declared "everyone has a Premiership team too"  He now asks me about them and I don't have the heart to say otherwise. I'm getting quite good blagging about their team though - I love that Klinsmann they've got

Boy do those words fill me with rage. I remember once when Cardiff were in the championship and I told someone on a night out I supported them they responded by saying 'well obviously, but who is your real team? United? Liverpool? City?'

I'm not going into the graphic ways I imagined that mans demise after that comment

I've had similar - "why do you support THEM?" (from people in Cardiff, no less) or "yeah, but they'll never win anything".

In fairness to the guy at my work, I think he was totally "bantering" with me. He's an Ipswich fan himself (from Charlton  ) and a good footballing lad. The Spurs misunderstanding still lives on though...

Right, going to leave you Gents to see this one through as I'm off to Sussex via London for the weekend for some kind of baby christening/sacrifice thing   

I shall leave this here for someone to post on my behalf at 5pm tomorrow:

I'm in agreement with Gloves on how indifferent I feel at the moment. Let's get the season over and in a few weeks we can speculate daily on who's staying and going and listening to all the ITK bullshit.
In the meantime, I'll be watching the Chelsea game in Corfu next week - nasty job but has to be done.
