I see the BBC were crowing about the fact that we could get docked 3 points. Haven't these c***s heard of innocent until proven guilty? It's like the b******s are itching to make an example of us, despite the fact that unless money has changed hands, then absolutely NOTHING illegal has happened. The whole Freedman element is somewhat surprising too. How on earth did he receive the text? No loyalty from him, the bitter c***.
Just read Martin Samuels' article in yesterdays Daily Mail, even he thinks the whole thing is a load of bollocks. Why is it that every time we think things are going well then some c*** has to come and throw a spanner in the works.

f*** YOU CARDIFF CITY AND VINCENT TANN. MAY YOU ROT IN THE LOWER LEAGUES FOR MANY YEARS TO COME AND HOPEFULLY GO BANKRUPT TOO.

Cardiff have called on the Premier League to order that their controversial 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace is replayed but their plea looks set to fail.

The Welsh club lodged an official complaint to the Premier League this week alleging that their team for the game was leaked following an approach by Palace director of football Iain Moody.

Cardiff claim Moody, who they sacked last year, contacted three members of their staff to find out their line-up and that his behaviour breached Premier League rules.

Further reports from the BBC today reveal details of a five-page letter sent by Cardiff’s lawyers to the League claiming Palace boss Tony Pulis knew of Moody’s attempts and that the result “should not be allowed to stand”.

Standard Sport understands it is very unlikely the match will be played again as there is no precedent for a result to be declared void.

The Premier League confirmed this week they were investigating but Palace have already denied the accusations.

After Cardiff’s complaints came to light, Moody admitted he had talked to people within the game about what their team might be, but insisted he had not made contact with anyone at the club.

He said: “That is incredibly, extraordinarily untrue. That is untrue, completely untrue. Absolutely not — not under any circumstances.”

Chairman Steve Parish explained that they had received information from an agent, with only nine of the 11 names received being correct.

He then hit back at Cardiff, saying: “It’s completely far-fetched to me. I can’t imagine it in a million years. I think it will be sour grapes really.”

The point is that any general pant wetting that we have broken some sacrosanct hard an fast rule is disingenuous

Do teams get decisions on and off the pitch in favour of bigger clubs - absolutely.

Are the powers that be likely to make a ruling in favour of Tan and Cardiff that opens a massive can of worms for them in the future - of course not

As far as the rules go, it's a website not a democracy - Hambo 3/6/2014

Sounds like Tan's desperate attempt to deflect attention from his own catastrophic management of CCFC will fall flat on its face. What an odious little man he is.

The David Bond BBC piece reports a supposed exchange between Pulis and Solskjaer after the match:

It is claimed Solskjaer said to Pulis: "I am disgusted that your head of recruitment [Moody] is texting one of my players to get our team."

Pulis allegedly responded: "Oooh, I know. I didn't ask for it."

Are they saying Tony Pulis is in fact Julian Clary in disguise?

Honestly, I could have picked the Cardiff team bar 1, Jones, it's simple with the changes included, Fabio was injured, from the previous game, so not likely to play, wilf the only man with pace and quality to play that wing to replace him, I know Fabio is a full back but OGS has used wilf as replacement moving a midfielder back to cover,

And Bellamy plays 1 in 2 games, he starts less, he started the match previous so likely not to start, Daehli was his obvious replacement with OGS becoming more trusting in him,

And as I already said Jones is the only one I couldn't have predicted.

As for formation, OGS being former utd is a 4-4-2 / 4-4-1-1 (if he had the quality of player to play as a false 10) type of manager, he wasn't going to play 4-5-1 in a game he thought he could win, however if he done his homework he'd have noticed TPs favoured formation and even his starting 11, he wouldn't risk playing 4-3-3 with fear of being exposed by Yala, Punchy, Ward and Mariappa!

Simple!
