They were comprehensively beaten and just can't take it, clutching at straws. They should man up, even if we lose those 3 points it ain't going to make a lot of difference to their league position. Anyway in plain English, fvck em, they would say the same to us if it was the other way round. Agreed, and its not as if its the only game we have won or that we changed our team specifically for that match or anything like that, so hopefully common sense will prevail...

This post has been merged from a topic called 'This Cardiff thing is getting serious ??' by SloveniaDave Why? For what means? Pulis has said all along we play to OUR strengths not the oppositions. Especially not Cardiff for f*ck sake. Biggest pile of sh*t going. Who remembers Chopra claiming he was racially abused by Palace players? That turned out to be a load of b*llocks like we knew it was. Disgrace of a club.

and here it is: Cardiff's 3-0 defeat by Crystal Palace in early April should not be allowed to stand, the Welsh club have said in a five-page letter obtained by the BBC. The document, sent by club lawyers to the Premier League, alleges Palace boss Tony Pulis knew sporting director Iain Moody was trying to obtain Cardiff's starting line-up before the game. Cardiff claim they have proof Moody succeeded and say this breaches league rules but the BBC has not been able to obtain a Palace response, though the club have previously denied the claims. The Premier League strugglers go on to state that clubs should act in good faith to one another and calls into serious question the integrity of the match. They say Crystal Palace cheated and want the Premier League to take serious action. What they want and what they will get are two completely different things. Still not worried.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'This Cardiff thing is getting serious ??' by SloveniaDave Sour grapes?! Cant see anything coming of this, especially when they fall MORE than 3 points short of safety. IF Mr.Tan is that upset by it all, perhaps he should get the coach driver to cross the bridge, pay the toll and ply his "trade" in wales? How many Cardiff fans are embarrassed by this i wonder? Move on idiot, find another way of covering your tracks next week?

It does seem ironic that presumably the BBC have been able to write this story due to someone from Cardiff leaking the lawyers letter to the FA

If moony did get the team sheet and passed the info on to TP to use, do you think he would of used it? A man that fined 2 players publicly for diving I don't think TP would he does have something that appears to be lost in football which is integrity. Well he fielded the same team and played a similar style to we did at Chelsea. It looked better and more attacking, because ultimately Cardiff are not as good as Chelsea, but ultimately we went out with view to restrict Cardiffs chances, build from counter attacks and minimise the loss of possession in vulnerable areas of the pitch. So no, tactically we played the same way against Cardiff as we have against most teams since he came in.

My feelings towards this is most definately sour grapes and pretty poor on the part of Cardiff. They are a poor team with a lunatic of a chairman who has reached desperation point. If I am not mistaken, did we not field the exact same 11 as we did the game before? So any possible knowledge clearly had a major impact on our set up!?!?!?! Anyone with any reasonable amount of football knowledge can guess 9 players of every premiership team every week and the only reasons this changes is when the "big boys" have played European games midweek. Knowing the team in advance in my opinion gives minimal advantage to the opposition. Barcelona played practically the same 11 players for 4 years under Guardiola but could anyone stop Messi? No. So knowing a team guarantees nothing I think the worst that could happen is a financial fine as I cannot see how this is worse than the Tevez affair from a few years ago

Has a club been found guilty of this sort of infringement before, and, if so, what punishment was imposed? I hope it is all a storm in a tea-cup and a desperate ploy by the unseemly Tan. In terms of a points deduction ( or replaying the game), surely unless it could be reasonably argued that the outcome of the game was affected by this, then a fine would be the most appropriate punishment. As mentioned before we played exactly the same line-up the week before and the week after, and played the same way at Everton as we did against Cardiff.

How about we start a petition to get them thrown out of the ENGLISH Premier League? Surely it is down to their OWN employees who gave the information to us anyway?

I just saw something about Freedman telling Cardiff he got a text about this! Anybody know anything about this or is it just people stirring? This whole thing is a shambles. Tan is bringing the game into disrepute by doing everything he can in his scheming little mind to stop getting relegated. He cares nothing of Football. He is a snake.
