Cardiff City F.C.
wikipedia

Cardiff City Football Club (Welsh: Clwb Pêl-droed Dinas Caerdydd) is a professional football club based in Cardiff, Wales that competes in the English football league system. The club is competing in the Premier League for the first time in the 2013–14 season. They play their home games at the Cardiff City Stadium, after moving from Ninian Park in 2009.

The club was founded as Riverside A.F.C. in 1899 and is the only club from outside England to have won the FA Cup, which they won in 1927. The club won the Football League Championship title in the 2012–13 season and were promoted to the top flight for the first time in 51 years. This followed two lost national cup finals, the 2008 FA Cup Final against Portsmouth and the 2012 Football League Cup Final against Liverpool, the latter being settled by a penalty shootout.

In 2012, Cardiff City was rebranded by the club's Malaysian owner, Vincent Tan. This included the change of the club's home colours and crest.

Cardiff City Football Club are delighted to announce that Kenwyne Jones’ move from Stoke City to the club has today been finalised, subject to FA clearance. The striker will be available for selection for the first time this Saturday in the Barclays Premier League home game against Norwich City.

Give Kenwyne a warm @CardiffCityFC welcome on twitter now, using hashtag: #WelcomeKenwyne

In profile: Kenwyne Jones

Imposing 29-year-old front man Kenwyne Jones has been well known to viewers of British football since arriving at Southampton from Trinidad & Tobago side W Connection in 2004.

Born in Point Fortin in Trinidad, Jones spent three years at St Mary’s Stadium, making 71 appearances and scoring 19 goals in total for the Saints. During his time on the south coast, Jones also had spells with Stoke City and Sheffield Wednesday on loan, impressively scoring seven goals in seven appearances while at Hillsborough.

A permanent move to Sunderland came in 2007 as the Black Cats prepared for life back in the top flight under then manager Roy Keane. Jones made his debut in a 1-0 defeat to Manchester United before scoring his first goal for the club in a 2-1 win over Reading that September.

The 58-time capped Trinidad front man went on to score 26 goals during a three year spell in the north east, making 94 appearances in total before joining fellow Premier League club Stoke City in August 2010.

Taking the Potters’ number nine shirt, Jones has scored 13 goals in 88 appearances during his three-and-a-half year spell at the Britannia Stadium with first-team opportunities limited for the Stoke frontman in recent months.

His career now continues at Cardiff City, with all at the club wishing him every success.

I wonder if I am the only one that supports a team that sighed one of our players even after that player leaves just because they gave one of ours a chance?

I either support them or want them to fail. Depending on how the player's time was while there.

The Sunderland thread exist because it was more than one player there. Easier to keep tabs on them all. De Stoke and Cardiff threads is just a imitation thing that not really serving the same purpose.

I follow the fortunes of Stoke and their players whether present or past (Delap, Pennant, Shawcross, Fuller, N'Zonzi, Butland, Huth, Begovic, and even Crouch) whether KJ was playing or not... same for Sunderland. Yeah I might not have followed them if KJ wasn't a player in the first place but nothing wrong with backing a small side especially when you get a good reason to do so.

Come on mods. Let's see where this goes, especially with a relegation battle in progress. You may be a believer after the game tomorrow

Club football and international football are not the same. My support at the club level has to do with Liverpool. Anything against that does not matter. While I want to see our players do well at their clubs, I don't see the need to support their clubs; that's not how it works. I keep a watchful eye to see how they are doing.

Against the run of play Norwich scores a soft goal. KJ seems tentative in the earlies.

Against? What game you watching?

Dinner Mints · « **Reply #19 on:** February 01, 2014, 09:28:04 AM »

Ah never watch Cardiff before. Either they're terrible or they've had a terrible start.

Actually, both these teams terrible. I am watching a terrible game.

Good passage by Cardiff now. Kenwyne more involved

de_redman · « **Reply #21 on:** February 01, 2014, 09:41:36 AM »

Zaha is on 38th minute. Norwich still up 1-0

de_redman · « **Reply #22 on:** February 01, 2014, 09:43:02 AM »

Cardiff are not playing badly. High tempo approach. Now getting KJ more involved in the game. His first touch and passing still leave a lot to be desired but is having an impact.

His passing alright, I find. His first touch is a mess. Always has been.

De first touch getting better as he getting more involved in de game. He is a man need confidence.
This Cardiff team have room for improvement. Let's see what they bring in the second half.

Good luck to Kenwyne at least he's playing.
