Hard Cheese Cardiff

I woke up from a bit of a cat nap to see the starting line-up and jump straight into my handy time machine to check out the final score, I came back disappointed and quick put a bet on.The bet was a substantial one, first goal and time, half time score and so on but no one would take my bet on Tottenham winning.
One think about being in the Premier League football you can always find a iffy internet streams. I have been able to watch ever league games so far this season. Today after a few duds, not in English, I hit on a great one.
After game Solskjaer speaking to the press said,
“I’m confident we will stay up because I believe in these lads.
“I see them every day in training and I see them out there on the pitch as well, we had opportunities against Tottenham.
“We’ve just got to keep believing, that’s all you can do when you’re at this end of the table, and with ten games to go, it’ll be an exam for us in these last two months.
“I think we need five wins from our last ten games to stay up, it’ll be a test for us mentally and emotionally, it’ll test our character as a team.
“It’s not about getting just this one win or one result then you’re out of it, we’ve got to stick at it.
“It might be that we come to our last game against Chelsea and need to get a point, or maybe even three points, to stay up.
“It will go all the way to the wire, we won’t be out of it much before then, but there’s enough character to stay in the race [for safety].”
There was a big improvement over the Hull defeat the previous week. How we never looked like scoring which has been a problem all season. A little chant beloved by fans is ‘You couldn’t score in a brothel’ I think the Cardiff City strike force could, unless a ball was involved.
I do like a bit of football comedy, like the goalkeeper coming up for a last minute corner kick. Today City keeper Marshal did just that looking for a last minute equaliser. Hovering like a praying mentis about to strike at its pray he looked for the winner but only to see his opposite number in the Tottenham goal tip the ball over the bar. Another corner came it only for the Tottenham keeper to safely gather the ball hitting the floor with the ball smothered.
With the Cardiff goal wide open I found myself shouting shot!!! Much to the shock of my son and myself. Needless to say the Tottenham keeper stay ground to the floor give the Cardiff keeper to get back on his goal line just in time for the final whistle. The game finished 1-0.
