The big events across social media for Cardiff City fans last week were the fixtures, the World Cup and the Junior Hoilett saga.
Let’s start with Russia.
Who didn’t get excited when the Premier League posted this?

And Aron Gunnarsson himself clearly enjoyed the build-up and the match. A surreal moment for City fans to see something like this.

The World Cup coaxed a confession out of Andy Campbell.

Josh Murphy also came on board this week and was so up for it that Warnock had to use two hands to restrain him long enough to sign the contract.

We even got an insight into NML’s sense of humour this week. We’re not judging.

Of course this biggest news came from Junior Hoilett who revealed he wanted the 2026 World Cup in Canada (he’s getting his wish).
For #CANMNT player Junior Hoilett, it would be a dream to see a 2026 FIFA World Cup come to Canada. #united2026 @jnrhoilett @united2026 pic.twitter.com/q4gG9bzvqP

Well actually, fans were still trying to decipher what this meant.
New Chapter – New Goals – Same Team

Lee Tomlin, after posting lots of holiday pics, also put this up. What does it mean? Is it confirmation that Tomlin’s big promotion pay rise has kicked in and Forest have backed off?
