I’m not quite Trevor McDonald, and this is more like the news at twenty to seven, but…
Dong!
Man’s favourite Fab Four song is Norwegian Wood
Kenny Cooper is all set to shun us as he lusts after League liaisons with the likes of Strømsgodset, Aalesund and Bodø/Glimt… yum!
Dong!

Stirring braggadocios yakking from the soundbiteoholic Iron Fist raises 4 bizarrely bemusing beard scratchers. In the introductory words of Kel from 1990’s TV fodder Kenan and Kel: Awwww, here goes!

Well, well, well. I must say I was very impressed by last night’s 1-0 defeat of Celtic. Although the opposition were as blunt as a sharpener-shy pencil, I felt we contained them in an highly decisive and composed manner. We constantly forced them into hurried decisions and passes whilst ensuring that the likes of Samaras [...]

This piece is written in response to a few points raised in an interview given here by Dave Jones. It relates to a period before the almost-almost-acquisition of Marcus Bent. Since then, big money bids have continued to be lodged left, right, centre, North, South, East and West, so the piece still has a strong [...]

Tactics are a word the likes of Barry Fry are allergic to, but most technical-area prowling pot-bellied team leaders – including our very own Scouse rogue – are not that clueless with the Plan A side of things. When we get going, our formation and positioning allows a nice, flowing passing game. You see, Plan [...]

What exactly is the point of bidding for players we know we have no chance of snaring?! Sure, I’m all for signs and showings of ambition, but Dave Jones even admits as much that the bid for Marlon King was never going to work. Ex-jailbird King, after all, is a man who left a loftier [...]

Another friendly, a draw being the result of this one. I’ll discuss my thoughts on tactics and team selections in the next week or so.
Anyway… Owing to a shortage of frankincense, myrrh and gold, I gift you instead with an A-Z of Cardiff City’s upcoming 2008/09 campaign. An analysis of how things are shaping [...]

I’m pretty certain that if our club ever took a hen to a cutlery factory, they’d still somehow fail to organise an egg n’ spoon race. Even if they did manage to figure it out, the hen would probably disappear to a factory in Birmingham instead , and the cutlery produced in said factory would [...]
Category: Cardiff City NewsCould City use a transfer guru?
By: Martyn | No Comments
Italian clubs are renowned for having transfer gurus (more officially termed as Sporting Directors or General Managers), the most famous perhaps being either the now dethroned Luciano Moggi at Juventus, or bald-en wonder Adriano Galliani at AC Milan. Presently, former player Marco Branca does the job for Internazionale, Fiorentina use Pantaeleo Corvino to wheel and [...]
Category: Cardiff City NewsDoth Darcy do or die?
By: Martyn | No Comments
Youngster Darcy Blake has played in a wide variety of positions since signing a full-time professional deal, but it remains to be seen whether he will ever establish himself as a foolproof member of the side. Sure, he has potential: One game against Hull City in the 06/07 season resides in my mind when he [...]
