Bluebirds suffer as Brum give the kind of performance that would tempt the dog from the meat-wagon.

This contest is perhaps best defined by twisted clichés like ‘David vs Goliath with the latter obeying expectation and triumphing’ and normal clichés like ‘it was men against boys out there’. Birmingham City were simply sumptuous whereas we were simply second-class. For a change though, the standard of our set-piece delivery was actually top-drawer. The [...]

With the sun penetrating my eyelids, so my day forcefully began. 23/09/08. No work, no plan, no nothing. On rolled 4pm, and at last, the day truly began. Getting down to Ninian Park – a site rich in history and tradition, a stadium rich in character (and rust) – in time for 16:45. The coaches [...]

Never has a game of football been open to so much spin. On the coach home from a place Nottingham Forest supporters don’t much like, I reflected on what was a mighty impressive performance against a recently dethroned Premier League side. But then – shock shock horror horror shock shock horror – the realisation that [...]

Those of you put-out by the title of this post… I really don’t mean to gloat or sound obnoxiously disrespectful. After all, I support a team that was in the dire and dreaded Division Three/Fourth Division/League Two for the majority of my formative years – the Primary and Secondary school days! The former were spent [...]

Strange things, statistics. Perhaps not the things themselves, but the way they can be manipulated or interpreted in several ways. Take Notts County’s start to life in League Two this season. 6 games played, and they’ve lost just once. Great you’d think, yes? Well, less so when you note that they’re yet to win a [...]

So said Alan Brown, presumably long before this era and process of mundane international qualifiers. The biggest story/ordeal Cardiff City wise during the international fortnight was the sudden retirement of Paul Parry from international duty. Now every man and his dog has had his say on this piece, so I won’t further flood the topic [...]
Category: Cardiff City NewsJust how much of a transfer fee could and should Ross McCormack command in today’s grossly over-inflated transfer market?

Cardiff City’s Ross McCormack gave another wonderful showing that epitomised his burgeoning talent and potential for the Scottish U21 side last night. Since the move down south, McCormack’s career has continued to go from strength-to-strength and most Bluebirds fans already love the former Motherwell man like a son. No other current Bluebirds player gets us [...]
Category: Cardiff City NewsShould I be listening to ‘Jealous Guy’ by Roxy Music as Man City mania hits the UK, or rejoice because my club still retains a few toes in reality?

After a livestock transportation deadline day that saw the transfers of household names such as Ricardo Quaresma, Dimitar Berbatov, Robinho, and erm, Jon Parkin, we here at Cardiff City ended the day empty-handed. But does that mean the day went without its fair share of stories? As frankly as Sinatra or Butcher… NO!
