VFTN’s Moments of the Decade – Return to Blue, 2015
“Don’t go to a meeting unless you know the outcome.” That was Mehmet Dalman’s advise for the chosen few that attended a meeting at the Cardiff City Stadium on Thursday January 8th, 2015. Cardiff’s chairman was seeking to find a solution for a fragmented club in potentially terminal decline. He admitted that he was going […]
VFTN’s Player of the Decade – Joe Ralls
I think we probably all take Joe Ralls for granted. He’s a solid seven out of 10 every week, in a side that lacks consistency. He’s ferocious, in his performance and his attitude, without being some sort of nutcase. It’s measured ferocity and you really miss it when it’s not there. Ralls is also now […]
VFTN’s November Player of the Month is…
I think most people expect Nathaniel Mendez-Laing to go in to hibernation during the winter months. He has developed a bit of a reputation for being a warm weather player, thriving at either end of the season and flagging in between. Like Sammy Ameobi before him, a fellow asthma sufferer, when the temperature drops, breathing […]
VFTN’s October Player of the Month is…
Remember October? The international break has afforded VFTN the opportunity to reflect and last month already feels like a world, and a Warnock, away. Whereas the first couple of months offered clear and obvious winners, October was nowhere near as straightforward, but we do have a winner and its Danny Ward. Obviously, since then, Ward […]
An obligatory collection of five things to expect from Neil Harris
As is customary, here are five things to expect from our new leader Neil Harris and its mostly all positive stuff, apart from the first one maybe, depending on your likes or prejudices. More Madine If you’re a Madine man, then Christmas has come early because you are likely to get far more Gary going […]
Seven of the best, if Cardiff should be so bold in January
Who knows what sort of shape Cardiff will be in come January and having spent a fair whack in the summer, it remains to be seen if Cardiff will have any more spending money. If they are given the green light to send out an SOS, these players probably represent the pick of the attainable […]
The South Wales Derby – The Swansea View
Not all Swansea fans are knuckle-dragging neanderthals. VFTN know a very nice one, and Guto Llewellyn also lives behind enemy lines, so has more riding on Sunday than most! We asked him how Swansea are currently faring and his thoughts on the game. So, derby day! Are you looking forward to it or dreading it? […]
Is Gavin Whyte better than Kadeem Harris?
Tonight will see Kadeem Harris return to the Cardiff City Stadium and come face to face with his replacement, Gavin Whyte. It will be an interesting opportunity to compare and contrast the pair, as Cardiff trade blows with Sheffield Wednesday. Both have made strong starts to the season, but seeing as Whyte was brought in […]
Poor Will Vaulks, gone in 60 minutes
The fact that Will Vaulks has more chance of playing for Wales these days than Cardiff is a bit weird. After all, it’s not like Cardiff have players the calibre of Joe Allen, Ethan Ampadu and Aaron Ramsey, but that’s where we are. It just hasn’t happened for Vaulks yet. It’s starting to look like […]
VFTN’s September Player of the Month is…
Leandro Bacuna is the worst player I’ve ever seen in my life. Remember that? Only a few weeks ago, some were going in on Bacuna, as he was left to carry the can for an inauspicious start. Fast forward a month and he is very much back in fashion and our Player of the Month […]
