Preview from the Ninian: West Ham United vs. Cardiff City+
A new stadium for Cardiff fans as we visit the London Stadium/Olympic Stadium/Westfield (delete as applicable) for a visit to West Ham. West Ham beat Newcastle over the weekend, in a ground where West Ham fans were, basically, on the pitch. This game could go either way and a relatively confident Cardiff will be hopeful […]
How Cardiff City have grown into the Premier League season
When we got pumped 5-0 by Man City, I assumed that was it. Privately, I suggested that Warnock wasn’t going to improve us, that things were all downhill from here unless we changed our manager. But, since that game, Warnock and the rest of the great lads (band name – Warnock & the Great Lads) […]
Preview from the Ninian: Cardiff City vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers
After last season’s testy encounter at the CCS, where two missed penalties in injury time meant Cardiff missed out on a point, this is the first meeting of Cardiff and Wolves in the Premier League. Expect fireworks as Warnock will want to get one over on Nuno and Wolves will be looking to arrest a […]
Preview from the Ninian: Everton vs. Cardiff City
International week is over, the Premier League returns and a trip to Merseyside beckons. Everton sit 9th in the table but have won four of their last five league games, losing one to Manchester United. We are coming off a winning streak of one game, a decent knock against Brighton, and will be optimistic of […]
Preview from the Ninian: Cardiff City vs. Brighton
After last week’s emotional encounter at the CCS, Warnock will be looking for a reaction from his team in a ‘winnable’ game against Brighton. No offence to Brighton, but they are a team I’m never sure are good or bad. Hughton has done a great job for them – what could have been, eh? – […]
Preview from the Ninian: Cardiff City vs. Leicester City
At times like these, it’s hard to know what to write. This is meant to be a straightforward preview about teams and players but it doesn’t seem right to do that. The events that took place at the King Power Stadium last Saturday still weigh heavy on the minds of everyone involved in football and […]
Preview from the Ninian: Liverpool vs. Cardiff City
Welcome to Cardiff City’s Season AW (after win). It’s amazing what a win can do for the confidence levels but after beating Fulham last week, Cardiff City’s tails will be up and we’ll be buoyant as we go to play *checks notes* oh. Liverpool. Going to need a bit more than confidence to see this […]
Cardiff 4, Fulham 2. The first win.
As the old saying goes; it’s the hope that kills you and after seemingly a weekly ritual of walking out of the ground and saying ‘if only that had gone in’ or ‘play like that against so-and-so and we’ll get a result’, yesterday felt good. It was the culmination of Tottenham, Arsenal, Burnley, Huddersfield. The […]
Preview from the Ninian: Cardiff City vs. Fulham
After international week, Cardiff City welcome fellow-promotion winners Fulham to the Cardiff City Stadium in another six-pointer. Fulham, who spent four hundred million pounds this summer*, will be looking to kick-start their season after a series of poor results, while Cardiff, who finished above Fulham last season, will be hoping for their first win of […]
Preview from the Ninian: Tottenham Hotspur vs Cardiff City
Wembley. Cardiff are no strangers to Wembley though this year was unexpected. We were meant to be the second team to run out at the new Tottenham stadium but alas, it wasn’t ready. Wembley has been a decent hunting ground for Cardiff – though we could be facing a backlash from a Tottenham side who […]
