Six Championship players worth considering in January
Without a Premier League budget, chances are that Cardiff’s January shopping will be conducted in the Championship. Fear not though, as Josh Murphy and Bobby Reid have proven, there is plenty of talent ready and waiting to make the step up. Here are six of the best; Callum Robinson http://gty.im/1040103576 I think it’s safe to […]
VFTN x Don Cowie – Part Two
For fans and spectators watching a penalty shoot-out, it’s sometimes so difficult to watch. So what is it like to step up, in that type of game? How, if you can put it into words, did you feel? The only way I can describe it I think is that I was numb. I was literally […]
VFTN x Don Cowie – Part One
You followed Malky Mackay to Cardiff in July 2011. At the time it was claimed that you were advised not to sign a new contract at Watford, in order to sign for Cardiff as a free agent? Basically what happened was, I’d been offered a new contract. I had two-and-a-half great years at Watford, but […]
Bolton Wanderers: The Cardiff City knacker’s yard
You can picture the scene. The Cardiff City Stadium, its dark, someone is rummaging through the bins. “Who goes there?!” cries a caretaker. “It’s me, Bolton Wanderers,” the shadowy figure calls back. Of course it is, thinks the relieved caretaker. “You gave me a fright there Bolton! How is the wife?” http://gty.im/453428168 Bolton have a […]
The Warnock way – An extract from Jamie Kemble’s new book Bluebird Heaven
“There are moments in time that can change everything. Think of it as the butterfly effect. Whether something occurs or not can severely alter the course of history, it can alter what happens to someone or something. In this case, we’re talking about Cardiff City. The something that changes everything in this scenario is Neil […]
15 players that are likely to be on the move in January
As attention turns to the looming January transfer window, I’ve given some thought to the players that might be up for grabs and attainable for Cardiff. No one will be keen to lose an integral player mid-season, so chances are that everone will be fighting over the same group of available players. Danny Drinkwater http://gty.im/1009495180 […]
I’m not over Lee Tomlin and still think he could have made a difference for Cardiff
I was so excited when Cardiff signed Lee Tomlin. Neil Warnock and Tomlin seemed like the perfect marriage. A father figure for the wayward genius, and I do believe he is a genius. Some of the things Tomlin produces in games, most players wouldn’t even think about, let alone execute. The experiment was an epic […]
The Great Ralls Debate: Definite red or should’ve been yellow?
Scott Johnson Football fans never cease to amaze me. Never in a million years did I expect that Joe Ralls challenge on Lucas Moura would prove so divisive. To recap, the ball broke to Lucas, who has pace to burn and he was gathering a head of steam as he headed in to the Cardiff […]
A defence of Greg Cunningham, after two games (TWO GAMES!?)
Greg Cunningham is not good enough. I know this because the internet told me so. Social media’s hive mind has passed judgement based on two games and they’re not for turning. Joe Bennett good, Cunningham bad. Where to start on this. Joe Bennett has been one of Cardiff’s most impressive players this season, on that […]
‘I grabbed the ball out of the net and leathered it into the Cardiff fans. I still don’t know why I did it.’ An exclusive extract from Jon Parkin’s autobiography
In an exclusive extract from Jon “The Beast” Parkin’s new autobiography; ‘Feed The Beast: Pints, Pies, Poles and a Belly Full of Goals’ he recalls a 1-1 draw at the Cardiff City Stadium in December 2010, just weeks before departing Preston for South Wales. http://gty.im/91065479 “It was a frustrating spell, but in one game at […]
