Who's this Houghton lad? A scout?

It is Hughton, dunno what happened there. Can you ever forgive my typo?

2 more goals for Gayle. They need him as much as we need Rondon. Surely even Charnley can't fuck that one up

Wasn't a typo though was it?

I find it really bizarre that Gayle is likely to score more than Rondon in the Championship and Rondon more than him in the PL. I agree though it’s a complete no brainer for us to just push for a straight swap or Gayle + couple of m

Different style of football, isn't it? 

Gayle's pace and movement is exceptional in the Championship. Rondon's power and effort is not. 

[TheGingerQuiff 2412]

The exact same typo twice, chances of that?!

[The Fish 11421]

 Warnock will be hilarious come 5 o'clock.

You don't seem to know what "typo" means...

[Howmanheyman 38010]

Mike Dean gives a daft penalty, has a massive faff on with the linesman then doesn't give it to Cardiff. What a knacker he is, man. On the plus side, Warnock's face.

 

[TheGingerQuiff 2412]

A slip of the finger, a typing error. Different from a spelling mistake, iirc. A wordsmith such as you would never accept the latter though, so are trying to pass it off as a typo.

A typing error, not necessarily a slip of the finger. Not necessarily different from a spelling mistake. Simply a typing error.

To a degree, but if Rondons power and effort is not exceptional or a difference maker in the Championship then surely that means the defenders down there are better than many PL ones? As it’s sort of saying the PL ones won’t be able to handle physicality as well as the Championship ones. 

 

In any case it’s galling to think Charnley absolutely will miss this negotiating position and we will yet again be looking for a striker.

Nah, typing errors are unintentional. You purposely spelled Houghton

I think pace makes a striker more dangerous in the 2nd tier because the defenders aren't as good, aren't as well drilled. In the top flight, they're able to handle Gayle's level of pace and movement more easily than they can Rondon. We've seen it with Wood, Mitrovic, etc.

Aye, if any of us were in charge we'd be offering a straight swap for Gayle who is proven to be exceptional in the Championship. To be honest if any of us were in charge we'd have just spent the £16m on Rondon in the summer.

Typing errors are errors in typing. It's not a difficult concept, you big ol' pedant you.

Yes, and it wasn't a typing error, you spelled what you intended to spell. It was a spelling error.

 I made an error in my typing. It is a typing error. It's a typo. But it is vital that we resolve this.

I suggest a poll

I get your point aye, I was being a bit reductionist tbf but I still find it odd as class does generally shine through so I’d expect Rondon to out score him. Saying that has Rondon actually played much in the championship as I could just be assuming all of this. Aye, Rondon is well worth £16m in the current market. 

 

Watching Brighton match, that Knockaert is a complete fucking idiot. Just got sent off for a horrific challenge he committed out of frustration. Any time I’ve seen Brighton he seems to put in a leg breaker or do something stupid yet doesn’t seem to have the reputation someone like Shelvey does, despite imo being worse as Shelvey is rarely endangering the player he just occasionally lashes out with frustration.

Injury time 2nd for Burnleh. If Cardiff stay up it won't be at our expense. 

[Kid Dynamite 7932]

They are losing 5-0 now

 

Gaylr got his hatrick too

6 pointer for Cardiff and Brighton next.
