We've really splashed out and bought a striker from Bristol City for £10m and some guy called Josh Murphy from Norwich for £11m, Is he any good? Apparently we couldn't afford Bale. :)

Success is going to be scraping together enough points to avoid relegation. And not getting stuffed 5-0 by the likes of Man City.

Only 5:0... :eh:

Well Cardiff have one whole point! 16th in the table, and not in the bottom three!

We are even one place ahead of Arsenal. :)

Mind you they have played Chelsea and Man City, and we've played Bournemouth and Newcastle. And they've managed to score.

At least we are not bottom of the table but not doing nearly well enough. We must win next Sunday at all costs. If you think only clubs like Man U and Liverpool have intense rivalry between the fans you have not experience the power of feelings between the Norwich City and Ipswich Town fans.

On the plus side Norwich owns its own ground, has owners who care deeply about the club and have the word city in its title. On the minus side Ipswich do not own its own ground, owes an awful lot of money, has an owner who is very far from being squeaky clean businesswise and and only has town in its title.

Delia and her husband put money into the club and as she is has retired from TV why not make money for advertising a company as long as she does not consider the company an unethical one. And of course one person's view of what makes a company unethical is different to another's.

And we are above Ipswich :thumbup: and expect us to be dumped out of the EFL cup tomorrow night but this is football and anything can happen, and occasionally the result is not what you think is guaranteed

Piffle.

You ain't seen nothing until you've seen the level of animosity when Cardiff play Swansea or Bristol. In the days when the Soul Crew were about it was bloody dangerous. Actually, come to think of it, when the Soul Crew were about it was bloody dangerous no matter who Cardiff were playing.
