I can't believe people were saying Joe Allen was past it because he plays in the Champs now. Our Marquis player for years was Wes f**king Hoolihan.

de Sade? You'd certainly have to be a sadomasochist to have taken any enjoyment from last night alright.

I will say one thing and one thing only about my experience of the game last night... The toilet facilities in the Cardiff City stadium are fantastic. Best I've seen in a football stadium.

Did you go in to them to puke?

The way we lined up showed our naivety and coming out for the second half showed O'Neill's stubbornness by sending out the team in the same manner...

Pretty sure Wayne Hennessey passed more to his teammates than any of ours did to their own. Awful grim watching and doesn't look like changing

How good are Wales?

They have One obvious world class player (like Denmark) and a crop of really talented young lads coming through, including Ampedu! And lads at Champions League clubs!

Their national league is considerably below ours.

How are they doing it?

Could it be analogous to The Dutch side taking us at Dalier back in the day and going on to win The Euros in 88?

Yes, I know we are far weaker now than then!

The Wales V Denmark Games should be entertaining, I back Wales to win the group and us for relegation!

Eh but they do have a team in the premiership. Another relegated from the premiership last year. Both of these clubs have top class academies developing young players. The performance of their league is irrelivent because of this

Yep It is one thing that Swansea done very well with when Huw Jenkins took over they invested a lot of money on setting up an academy there

i felt ward and clark were majorly exposed tonight, ward against denmark same thing happened, i feel randolph should have saved there 3rd shouldnt be beaten at the front post but the defending that led to that was atrocious, williams took his goal well with a clever finish and i thought robinson was exciting when he did get a chance on the ball.

If Robinson was playing for Wales last night he’d of had a few goals.

He made space for two very decent chances for himself and if there was a free flowing system that allowed him more time on the ball, he’d flourish.

Every time he got the ball he was surrounded by Welsh players, because the pass was either over hit, under hit, or miss timed.

At 1-0, we were passing it around the edge of the box robinson took the ball to there left flank then cut back in and tried a 1,2 with hendrick if he got it back he was a touch away from being in a good position to shoot, instead hendrick plays it wide they intercept hoof it up and ward and clark are way out of position and give bale too much space and he punishes us

There's nothing. Some time at home to recover and then back out to Poland

How many are we bringing?

700 tickets applied for apparently

I think Meyler and Clark should play as holding midfielders in front of a back four for Poland Game
