2-0 to the kleptomaniacs!
By: Martyn |For the second time in the space of 4 days, Cardiff City win after fans of both teams involved endure the individual and collective dire showings of 22 men on the pitch. Our victims this time were Blackpool, a team that pegged us back in the 95th minute when we played them in the reverse [...]
Not quite deforestation, but McGugan’s chopping down of McPhail sets up City triumph!
By: Martyn |Cardiff City beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 in a game that might have driven the neutral to insanity through excessive tedium, sloppiness, profligacy, laziness and absent or vacuous leadership.

Not only that, there were options in abundance. Every single of our players suddenly wanted to get on the ball. Joe Ledley, the [...]
A game of two parts: Opening half-hour
By: Martyn |I still cannot believe how bad we were in the opening half-hour of last night’s match against Coventry City. We looked scared to go anywhere near the ball, we were sloppy, lazy, asleep, clueless and totally outclassed and outplayed. There wasn’t a leader out on the pitch, and whenever corners and crosses were sent into [...]
