Thommo still on Transfer List
Well City won at Blackpool for the first time in nearly 40 years with what sounds like a great strike from Steve Thompson. Not much to say about the match by all accounts, Blackpool sounded like the better side but couldn’t convert any chances (Where have I heard that one before). Thommo has been playing well of late and seems to have a good understanding with Hasselbaink. In my opinion he was man of... read more

Cardiff City 4 Colchester United 1
At last a convincing home win after what some say were forced changes by Dave Jones. Rae was dropped to the bench with Ledley coming into Midfield to partner McPhail and Peter Whittingham taking Ledley’s place on the left. Another change was Capaldi being dropped to the bench with McNaughton in his place at left back. These changes were in my opinion, and I’m sure the opinions of many football... read more

Charlton 2 Cardiff City 0
Well a totally wasted trip to the Valley after another woeful display by city ended up in a three nil loss. Dave Jones at last dropped the ineffective Robbie Fowler bringing in Steve Thompson up front although he still included the equally ineffective and cumbersome Gavin Rae… and yet again he had another shocker. He has no presence in midfield, cannot keep the ball, cannot tackle, cannot shoot, and... read more

Cardiff City – Relegation Fodder
Cardiff City – Relegation Fodder, yes that’s right Mr Jones, Relegation fodder. I said at the start of the season and I will say it again: The Central Midfield is non existent allowing the opposition to run unhindered at times at our back four. Of course our back four has been poor all season but the lacklustre midfield is certainly not helping the cause. Can any body tell me what exactly Gavin Rae... read more

Liverpool Vs Cardiff City
At last a good gutsy performance from the bluebirds despite losing 2-1 against a team that has spent close to £50 Million pre-season. We can only hope that the good performance will be taken into the league where our form would suggest that we are heading for league 1. One of the main criticisms from David Giles is the the team is not ‘digging in’ contrasting the lacklusture attitude of some... read more

Greenland is Going…
According to a recent report from NASA the higher peaks of the Greenland ice sheet spent longer melting this summer than any summer since 1988. However the strangest anomaly was that the melting was more pronounced at higher altitude regions demonstrating the complex environmental systems of our planet. British-born physicist Freeman Dyson commented on the fact that he believes that our current climate... read more

Ridsdale to quit Cardiff?
It looks as if Peter Ridsdale has offered to quit City because of the flack he is getting from a section of supporters. I personally think this is incredibility short sighted, is this ‘section’ of ‘supporters’ the same as those who sing one of our English players name lovingly for having done something useful (ok no one has done much this season!!) then the next minute are singing... read more

Firewall!
I had yet another annoying reminder this week from Mcafee telling me that I needed to pay up another £60 sharpish to renew my security centre subscription for a year. Having been messing around with linux over the past few months (Kbuntu in particular) I decided to go on the prowl looking for decent free alternatives to avoid forking out another 60 notes. I have now uninstalled Mcafee (not that easy... read more

This is always the worst bit isn't it? Well where can I start. My name is Robert Dicks, 33 (yes I will update my age every year!) from Cardiff.
I am also a freelance web developer (monicowebdesign.co.uk) working with html, CSS and php technologies and has gained considerable experience in SEO techniques including optimizing for local searches.
Away from work I am a Cardiff City Season ticket holder and a general sports fan! I also like to get away from the City and I especially like being by the coast especially if it means around the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path.
