TOP DEFINITION
delusional
Believing something to be true that is clearly not. Someone who is not thinking clearly. Used to describe someone attached to an idea which is obviously false.
Jon believes he is always right. He's delusional.

Lifey, they've been on the space cakes yet again. They really have a complex that they aren't seen as any different up there.
Every fan will say that they belong to a unique club. But they don't understand that no one give two hoots on the outside. |  | | |

Blimey, imagine what they’d be like if they had the success that we’ve had over the last 8 or 9 years! |  |

It’s as if the years 2011-2018 have suddenly ceased to exist. We’ve got more fans than them in their heartlands even now! We’ve also been the object of a lot of media attention/affection with the way we claimed from near footballing oblivion TWICE to the top flight, not just here but around the world. They play in blue, were the first to wear an all white kit. Unique? They’re just like any other Tom Dick and Harry also ran club playing in blue. We stand out much more in EVERY aspect.
With Barcelona they have that air of footballing romance and uniqueness. I’m not saying we are the same success wise, of course not! What we do have is that element of that football related romance about us. |  |

Unless there is a major change (i.e. the money stops flowing in) we have a cartel of clubs at the top. A few clubs could join them but Cardiff is a smaller city than Birmingham, Newcastle, Leeds, Sheffield and the argument of local population is poppycock. The total catchment area for both Swansea and Cardiff is little more than a million and a half people within an hour's travel. You could argue Wolves have Birmingham, Coventry, Warwick, Leamington, Telford, Shrewsbury, Walsall, Stafford, Stoke, Lichfield, Tamworth,Bromsgrove, Redditch and Solihull in that area-all major towns and a club who are genuinely a sleeping giant. Could do the same argument for Leeds and to a lesser extent Newcastle-or indeed any East Midlands club. Wales means little except to the welsh (I have lived in England more of my life than in Wales and we are inconsequential to most people) so the Capital City idea is again little more than hogwash. Cardiff has relatively little cultural capital-fewer museums, galleries, theatres etc. than Liverpool or Manchester despite its status.
The Premier League will chew up and spit every club out in the end (bar the top 6 and Everton). I find it hard to believe anyone else is a permanent fixture and of those West Ham and Wolves are the two most likely to break through into an elite. Bolton, Wigan, WBA, Fulham, Stoke, Swansea were all considered permanent fixtures (I know Fulham are back) but one day the time will come for Bournemouth, Watford, Southampton, Brighton etc. That is the best Cardiff can really aspire to-having a decent run. They are delusional if they believe otherwise. |  | | |

Ha ha, you're sounding a bit like them mate. We are no more special than a host of other clubs, although it felt that way for a little while.
Truth is Cardiff and Swansea are two small/middling sized clubs that have had a few special seasons in their entire history but have both mostly scrubbed around the lower divisions doing f*ck all, and in the bad times in front of very low crowds.
We have much more in common than either set of fans would want to admit, but there is something in the water up there that does seem to make many people delusional about the 'size'and importance of Cardiff, and not just the football team. It really is like little man syndrome. |  |

For them, a decent run would be more than one season.
You could argue they have never actually been a premier league club at all, as if you cant stay there then all you are is a club that had a good season in the championship and was never really good enough for the league above. So they should be concentrating on doing that before aiming for top 6 (rolls eyes). [Post edited 7 Feb 2019 10:18]

I think they'll stay up this year.
Had a bad feeling about it for a while. Against the mid table/lower half sides they are too strong at home. |  | | |

They have these delusions of grandeur because they are being led to believe that as a city they are something special. By who - WAG.
Professor us right, Wales is inconsequential in England and Cardiff no more than a medium sized town. And certainly not regarded as potentially or otherwise, a footballing powerhouse. |  |

No, I’m not saying that I believe we’re bigger than Barcelona. Just staying two facts that make us different from other clubs (as small as we are) :-
1. We were the first to sport an all White kit.
2. We climbed after near footballing oblivion (re-election and then the Hull game) to the top league in the country.

No offence , how do you conclude it’s a medium sized town when it is 8th biggest city in the U.K and has significant population growth.
It is expected to be around 450,000 in another 5 years [Post edited 7 Feb 2019 14:22]

Where do you get that from.
See link of English cities, relatively recently. Bristol in 10th with over 600k. Who is feeding you this info?

Almost unique.
Burnley needed to win their last game and rely on others to lose to avoid going into the conference around the early 90s. All those things happened and look at them now. |  |

Cardiff Population Data
Year Population Growth
2025 495,378 17,751
2020 477,627 3,440
2019 474,187 13,245
2015 460,942 17,183
Bristol is 449,000 2018 figures , but the urban area is 600k
The wider urban area of Cardiff is close on 1m and they are building 45,000 new homes by 2025 hence the rapid growth projection. (Plas Dwr, areas around Lisvane and St Mellon’s )
I think Cardiff is the 11th biggest city in the Uk so I stand corrected ,but is the fastest growing city outside of London [Post edited 7 Feb 2019 17:21]

I've just read the link, I don't go on there much. There's only 8 replies in two days, and three of those are basically disagreeing with the original post. So, let's get this into perspective, 5 people who post on that board could be said to agree with what the OP said. I think there's a few thousand registered on there, so hardly representative of what most CCFC supporters think, I'm sure you'd agree? | |
