Wish it was Swansea :-)

:-)

... or England Saturday :-)

So bloody funny being Welsh and watching the "National" news at 6/10 build them up as World beaters ready for a fall .... no wonder Scotland want to leave the Union.

And as predicted ...... crash bang wallop :-)

Great weekend for Cardiff , beating Sheff Weds and Hull and Watford losing. 3 wins and 2 draws from our last 9 games should see us right.

Play-off specialists Cardiff manage only their 1 win in last 4 games.. Funny how some things can read differently -):

Last 5 games we have won 2 drawn 2 and lost 1 .... now go look our rivals have done , save you the effort they have all done worse :-)

Forest the in form team , flying with 5 wins out of 5 I think.

Play-Off contenders CCFC last 4 results:

Sheff Wed 0-2 Cardiff Sat 16 Mar
Cardiff 1-1 Leicester Tue 12 Mar
Cardiff 1-1 Derby Tue 5 Mar
Middlesbrough 2-1 Cardiff. Sat 2 Mar

"Play-off specialists Cardiff manage only their 1 win in last 4 games", as said.

Forrest and A.N Other for automatic and you lot and the rest for the play-offs again.. I can see it now -):

Statistics stastiscs statisics :-)

What a cop out!

Callum McManaman escapes FA action over Haidara challenge

Wigan forward Callum McManaman has escaped retrospective action from the Football Association over his challenge on Newcastle defender Massadio Haidara.

Haidara was taken off on a stretcher in the Latics' 2-1 win but the FA cannot take "retrospective action" as an official saw the incident take place.

The governing body says it does not wish to "re-referee" matches.
But Newcastle managing director Derek Llambias claims the FA's disciplinary process is " not fit for purpose".

Whoops! there goes another one http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21849416

Is that right Stan that you haven't beaten them for 34 years ?

Be like winning the league if you ever do :-)

Absolutely not sir! Only played them in 8 seasons in that time.. a fabrication of the truth milord -):

14th April 1979 ...... must be etched on every Burnley fans mind :-)

Your derby looks to be as "lively" as ours with the gypo's.

I don't mind a bit of local rivalry but like all these things it does bring out some idiots unfortunately, at the end of it all 3 points is 3 points so not really concerned where they come from.

Good job with regards Blackburn :-)

We're doomed saved! Greg Dyke to replace David Bernstein as FA chairman

Former BBC director general Greg Dyke is set to be named chairman of the Football Association.

Dyke, who must stand down as Brentford chairman to take on the role, will take over from David Bernstein in July, subject to approval by the FA council.

Strachan needs 20 new players , this has to be the worst Scottish team ever.

Never have I seen Wales so comletely dominate a team away from home in a competitive match in my life time.

And that's a long, long time! :-)
