As for Cardiff fans claiming to have a "better ground" 
Pretty sure I remember seeing plastic panels on the outside of your flat-pack Ikea ground.

See your at it again a sideways move HAHA!! makes me laugh. Coming from a midtable in championship been in the lower leagues for years and he would be going to a team in the Carling Cup final at Wembley, a stadium for the big boys
Much better team than you, a better and bigger stadium than you, and don't start with the state of the art shit, from the outside yes it look nice inside it looks shit, and you know the football is played on the inside
So yep once again welcome to a bigger and better football club Mr Noone
So much better than us that we spanked you 3-1, iin your souless, non-atmospheric stadium.
Bigger club, absolutely no way. I doubt whether any of your fans have seen a Cardiff team in the top flight of English football.I would strongly advise you worry about how you are going to bridge the ever growing gap with Swansea. Now swim away!

The Cardiff ground is the definition of 'souless bowl'.

Cant find any mention of it on here but taking into account 'their history' when were Cardiff last in the top division, Ist Div as it was known?
1930s I think....... (edit) Doh - wrong!

you should do some research as you spent decades getting 3/4/5k crowds and haven't done anything big since the 50's,yes you're on the up but so are we and our stadium will be bigger than yours next season.See your at it again a sideways move HAHA!! makes me laugh.

Or 8 p.m. on Tuesday whichever comes first - surely.
Found a fews pictures of their stadium for those not in the know.
Quite stunning isn't it.
It speaks volumes in the fact that theirs cost half as much as ours, and their ground is bigger by a few thousand at the moment.
Theirs is an Ikea jobby- straight out of the flat-pack as previously purchased by Hull, Southampton, Reading, Leicester, Derby and countless others.
Ours is quite simply a custom-designed Rolls-Royce of a stadium that puts all of the above to shame.
I know which one I'd prefer..

To drag it back on topic...
(1) Noone's final ball is not poor, or shit, or lacking. He was playing as our only creative outlet in a truly dire sequence of performances, where our idea for winning a game was, give it to Noone, hope he can beat the two or sometimes even three players marking him out of the game, and if he can beat them, he then has to put a cross onto CMS' head, who is being marked out of the game himself by two enormous Championship centre backs. No wonder he went off the boil, like CMS he has no help whatsoever, he was just expected to do it on his own. Does nobody remember Sunderland, or Liverpool, or Blackpool, or Donny? Noone torments fullbacks just as much as Kaz/Buckley, he just does it in a different way.
(2) He doesn't have the pace of Buckley/LuaLua, but what he does have is trickery, his dribbling and close control is 10x better than either of them. I'm loving Buckley's form at the moment and Kaz is electrifying when he's running at someone, but when we play teams who park the bus and there's no room in behind the full back for Kaz or Buckley to run at and get to the byline, Noone's ability to trick his way past defenders into space will be invaluable.
(3) If Gus is looking to play 442, does no-one think we might actually NEED three wingers? Have we learnt nothing of our injuries this season? Sure, Noone wouldn't be first pick at the moment, but both Kaz & Buckley have had their injury problems this year and we're fully aware of the Vicente situation. All it needs is one of them to get injured and suddenly we're forcing square pegs into round holes again, playing Hoskins or Barnes on the wing when they're supposed to be upfront.
(4) If the £950k/1m rumour is correct, that's still as derisory as £450k. WHY would we want to sell one of our key players for that sort of money? We're not potless anymore, we're not at the Withdean, we CAN stick up for ourselves and refuse to budge until a proper valuation is met. I'm sorry but if we were offering £1m for Whittingham they'd be pissing themselves laughing. Noone is one of our better players and if we're accepting figures of £1m then we're getting bent over just like we did for Benno. Top 8 Championship wingers are worth £2.5-3m. FACT. £950k is a f***ing joke, regardless of this thread being started as a wind-up.
I can't believe the lack of ambition some people show. What would selling Noone actually achieve?
- Less than a million in the bank (which we don't need)
- down to 2 (injury-prone) wingers in our squad at the time we're hoping to change formation and will need squad depth
- a message to our players and to the division that we let clubs take the piss
- a side at the top end of our division, where we want to be, get one of our better players to come back and tear Calde a new arsehole when we play them at the Amex.

I agree with every point you make. Buckley and Lua Lua are very similar very direct. Noone offers us something completely different great trickery and dribbling skills and as I've mentioned before he is a better player than Lua Lua.
