View From The Ninian

Gosh Posh! Our last two trips to London Road have seen us score 7 goals. In the first we led 4-0 at half-time and in the second we were 3-2 up after 87 minutes. We won neither. This sounds like a sick joke, sadly it isn't. Nor is our dodgy defence, our inability to hold on to a lead, or Robert Earnshaw's demise.

Add in a three game winless streak, a fifth draw of the season, and the heartbreaking reality of our mediocrity and you have a recipe for pessimism. Surely this is the week when the dark forces emerge victorious. Surely?

Frankly, it doesn't get much better than this week's pod.

You can keep your world peace, your cures for cancer and your lottery wins because this week we got a bonafide 90's Cardiff City legend, the permanently black-eyed warrior and all-round hero Lee Lee Lee Baddeley!

So pop a brew on, take a seat and ready the tissues as we discuss Lee's career, former team-mates and thoughts on Malky's boys. You won't be disappointed. And if you are, take it up with Lee. He'll knock you clean out.

Little Joey Ralls continued his ball-showing rise with a week Craig David would be proud of. Met a girl on Monday, took her for a drink on Tuesday, signed a professional contract on Friday, and made his wondergoal-scoring league debut on Saturday. Wowzers.

Elsewhere on the pod we debate whether anyone could beat Anthony Gerrard's head in a drop ball situation, we discuss mullets, and we proclaim Filip Kiss to be in dire need of a lobotomy and a straightjacket because he's an actual bloody MENTAL!

All that plus the usual optimism/guestimism nonsense and a visit from a lovely girlwoman in NiniFAN.

DIOLCH YN FAWR IAWN!

Hello there everyone.

It's been a while. Do you have new hair? It suits you very nicely.

It's a bumper pod this week with THREE GAMES to discuss plus TWO MORE to preview.

We also have brother v brother in optimism v pessimism. We also welcome a YAM-YAM into View From the NiniFan; he then quizzes us on our knowledge.

We have a million TWITTER questions to go through and we also LAUNCH a View From the Ninian competition.

Love,

Ben and Adam

Golly gosh! Hello there! Weren't expecting you to show your face around here so soon after that incident where you did that thing that made us frown. Lovely to see you back though.

While you're here we may as well tell you about this week's pod. It's called "Dumbaya my lord, Dumbaya" and it contains discourse on Filip Kiss's tackle, Kevin McNaughton's runs and Don Cowie's suppleness.

It also features our first ever View From The NiniFEM and a new feature catchily entitled Pre-View From The Nini-Enemy.

Now, don't you think you'd better come on inside, wipe that smile off your face and prepare for an hour of drudgery?

DIOLCH.

We're back!

After our very own international break Ben and Adam have returned to weep over Craig Bellamy's decision to join Liverpool, to ponder Malky's capture of the Turner-nator, and to vaguely reminisce about the Pompey game.

PLUS! View From The NiniFAN returns, Optimism/Guestimism corner continues and Ben swears. A lot.

Buh bye. x

This week's pod is mostly about our 8-goal thriller against Huddersfield and our one-all draw at Turf Moor. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!!! No siree.

Ben battles to the death in optimism/pessimism corner, we respond to YOUR tweets and View From The NiniFAN goes tits up.

PLUS! Our usual nauseating blend of nonsense, rubbish and drivel.

Diolch! (Thanks!)

Ahoy Bluebirds! And congratulations/commiserations on beating/losing to Bristol City/Brighton and Hove Albion this week. Jolly good effort/better luck next time.

Two games, one week, four-all on agg. Not brilliant, not rubbish but certainly Cardiff City.

Join us on the pod as we discuss the week's goal-fests, introduce our debut View From The NiniFAN and deal with siege on optimism corner from a guest pessimist.

All this and not much more awaits...

Good evening.

You may find this hard to believe but WE BLOODY BEAT WEST BLOODY HAM.

Mugged them off good and proper. We discuss everything West Ham related in this weeks pod and we welcome the triumphant return of Champ and Chump of the week.

We take your Twitter questions and laugh in the face of Keith Millen.

Love,
The View from the Ninian

Here we stand then. On the verge of a new season, a new era, a new beginning. And what better way to celebrate teetering on the verge of the unknown than an hour with The View From The Ninian ladies as we preview the future, the yet to be lived, the 2011/12 season.

We mull over the pre-season, pick our players to watch, make predictions, bestow an impressive nickname on Joe Mason, insist on calling the Burly Scotsman Craig Conway by his full title and hidden somewhere inside is a song for Filip Kiss!

So all aboard as we set sail on the good ship Malkaysia on another adventure towards 'the promised land'.
