That's mostly thanks to me that is! Been getting a right hammering from these tough as boots CCFC fans. 'Your bullets cannot harm me! My wings are made from steel!'

Well one vote was from me anyway. Not going back on there again though. Bit too scary for me!

I'm a member on both forums so I voted as well. Cardiff City fans are not scary think their bark is worse than their bite. Yep totally agree not worth the debate! The Manics are Gods whilst those Phonics are garden gnomes especially Kelly jones Lol

Well he is an inch taller than James so they could be a couple together. Thje Phonics just beat it for me as I much prefer their lyrics to the Manics.

Nah they are the same height 5 ft 5" I have seen the Manics 34 times and the Phonics twice. No comparison! The Manics are miles better. Phonics MOR very bland for years - ideal for lift music

I like the Streophonics - really good live band - but nowhere near as much as I adore the Manics, probably because they have never produced an album anywhere near the likes of The Bible and probably never will. Still, I'm not sure why they get such a hammering on this forum. Surely there are far worse bands out there.

Anyway, I could care less personally about polls, but I do hope the Manics come out alright. Mind you, I find it bizarre that fans of a football club are debating which Welsh band is better.

So true everyone has their own opinion. Would never go to see the phonics again live. Musically they were very poor live compared to the Manics. Been to some huge gigs Live8 at Hyde Park (200,000 Cold Play, U2, REM, Snoop Dog, The Killers,The Who, Sting, Robbie Williams, Pink Floyd, Paul McCartney, Elton John etc. and even the Phonics were there!!!) and Live Earth Wembley Stadium (80,0000 Foo Fighters, Metalica, Snow Patrol, Madonna, Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chilli Pepers, Black Eye Peas etc. ). Manics are much better live than a lot of those top acts who performed during those big gigs and also better than a lot of other bands I have seen over the years. It's the Manics for me

Seems pretty tedious stuff. I enjoyed the Phonics debut and the singles from the second album and "Violence,Sex,Language", but they've done so much shit as well that it makes you kind of forget about the good stuff.

Off topic, but it looks like the old "if you're Welsh you have to support City/Swansea" chestnut is getting a good roasting as usual, in relation to Wire's love of Spurs and James supporting Nottingham Forest.

Did Richey or one of them once support Luton or have I imagined that?
