Cardiff's goalscorer is off.

It's end to end now. Sounds a stunning game. Puncheon off for Lee. He is being given a standing ovation, good.

Lambert slips in the box at just the wrong moment.

Every time I hear Miller's name my heart skips a beat. Lee is coming on for....... Connolly I would guess.

COME ON NOW SAINTS Build on this, banish the poor form.... take it to them. We CAN win this f**king league.

Come on Rickie..... Don't miss..... not this one. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOW it's a penaty!!!! Handball from lallana cross.

Corner, COME ON!!!!

Sounded as though it was great build up play.

Sh*t, No penalty.

I think we should go all Chris Nicholl on them Lallana ---- Lambert ----- Lee ------- Puncheon ------------ Cork ------ Hammond ------------ Fox -------- Fonte ----- Martin ----- Richardson ------------------ Davis ----------------------- They want to score? Fine, but just you wait........

Sounds as hough they have the better of our full-backs when they come forward. Trying to work it through the middle otherwise. Punch and Adam being used centrally, maybe trying to combat the more physical edge Cardiff have? Punch dragged shot into David Marshall...

No changes at half time. COME ON YOU SHOWER!!!!!!

Time to show our character. COYR's

F**K I get in, tune and and the first thing I hear "Goal for Cardiff." F**K F**K F**K

Right, I'm here, what have I missed? COYR's!?

You bad... bad man. That's genius!!!

Now where on earth are they going to deposit the money from any transfers. Oh, yes, into their frozen bank accounts..

True, but it means my second team has lost it's key striker. Oh well.

Well, the reporter said that 'they are not without a penny or two themselves.'

Yes, he really would be! (What a dreadful piece of mistaken identity that would be. )

Sky Sports news have just reported that Fleetwood turned down 1 mil offers from both us and Leicester for Vardey.

You have to be fair that the question regarding their long term futures is valid, i'm sure it will have already crossed Connolly's mind anyway as his contract expires at the end of the year!

I trust he found the resultant conversation/rant/assault very enlightening.

I do feel a little concerned for these two players. The signing of Sharp and Lee as well as our long term interest in Gary Hooper indicate to me that their time at the club may be coming to an end. Barnard has obviously been hampered by injury and his legal issues but his signing of a new contract not long ago (last summer if I remember correctly) surely indicated at the time that he was seen as capable of growing and progressing with the team. The need for short term availability seems to have put paid to his status in the squad, personally I cannot see a way back in for him now. If Sharp and Lee get up and running straight away he will be 5th, maybe even 6th choice. Connolly isn't so much of a surprise now though. Age may be catching up with him, he hasn't impressed too much lately (although against Forest he was more then 'sharp' #ahem#) and there is always the feeling that his legs may go 'ping' at any time. He could be considered more of a ligitimate victim of circumstance in this way I suppose, I am certainly grateful for the role he has played in the club over the last two and a half years. Am I wrong? Should I just be grateful for the level of depth we have up top?
