In a game played at the sort of leisurely pace that’d make [...]

Two of the Championship’s more fancied sides square up to one another on Sunday at the Cardiff City Stadium as the Bluebirds do battle with the Magpies.

Apologies for a lengthy Cardiff City writing absence. Work, lethargy, a busier social calendar, bumper issues of World Soccer and an addiction to/near-completion of Super Mario 64 have all proven to be bigger obstacles to my Bluebirds venting than elections are to democracy in Iran.
