Time To Burst Their Bubbles ... Cardiff Need A Win

I am football crazy, football mad and I hope we put the Hammers (West Ham) to the sword and burst their bloody bubbles. Come on Cardiff we need the points. Shit about saying we played well and lost! Time to play dirty and win. Remember last season when we had streams of managers complaining about our style of play … but we were winning and didn’t give a f**k, more of that please.

After West Ham, it doesn’t get any easier in the search for points with Chelsea next to visit the Cardiff City Stadium after another ruddy international break unwelcome by me. Remember before the FA Cup games we won two games, after that break we know what happened and after the Chelsea game then the daunting trip to Manchester City, points anyone.

On the 22 day-break Warnock said at today’s pre-West Ham press conference,

“The international lads who are going away will get a break. We’ve fixed a game up behind closed doors and we’ll be looking to have a full week’s training. It’s a game against another team in the Football League.”

A disaster for Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock and the team is the loss of defender Sol Bamba, out for the rest of the season after damaging knee ligaments against Wolves. Warnock confirmed, "Scans have shown that Sol has ruptured his ACL. He will have an operation and therefore miss the rest of the season."

There has been a bit of discord among the fans over the position of manager Warnock and his attitude, team selection just a glance of social media would show that. It’s like in the film 1941 in the dance scene were the difference services Navy, Army, Marines and Airforce divide up before a free-for-all punch up we are at the dividing point at the moment each group are backing into their corners.

Warnock puts it down to would be managers knowing better than him and even I could be targeted with that accusation on seeing the line-up for the Wolves game I posted a simple message on social media, “Interesting”.

Personally, it’s too late to consider a change in manager I believe Warnock will resign at the end of the season and maybe move upstairs. My little pet problem with Warnock is his inability to say it like it is … He is reported as saying the West Ham game is not a must-win-game and it annoys me. Every game is a must-win.

Back in December, we were comprehensively beaten at the London Stadium 3-1 with Cardiff scoring a late goal way into added on time. Team news beside Bamba there are only a few niggles for Warnock to worry about. Bruno Ecuele Manga is expected to start in his place, with Harry Arter and Josh Murphy both hoping to win recalls.

Games at matter to the survival of Cardiff City in the Premiership.

Sat … Crystal Palace v Brighton

Sat … Huddersfield v Bournemouth

Sat … Leicester v Fulham

Sat … Southampton v Tottenham Hotspur

Sun … Liverpool v Burnley

A perfect weekend would be for everyone in the bottom six to lose excluding Cardiff who need a win or at least match Southampton with only nine games left of the season. Its “prediction” joke time from the world of punditry everyone has Cardiff marked up for another defeat, gosh there is a surprise.
