Our best team I think.
Come on City.
1-0
Big 2nd half needed
The Fat Lady is clearing her throat.... but at least Bournemouth have gone one up against Brighton.
Straw clutching time!
quote from the telly "plenty of cardiff players watching" as per usual
Why isn't that goal offside? Barnes is blocking Etheridge
Great Etheridge save
One team wants this and they're not in City shirts.
Abject once again from our lot. I can take a lack of quality but there are some of ours just going through the motions.
Not looking good is it
without etheridge i think the goal diff would be -60 plus
Do our players even practise free kicks?
Well that was an extremely hard watch
Didn't exactly look like we were scrapping for our survival out there.
F uck it - go for it bring Reid and Niasse on for Junior and Arter and go down guns blazing

@GaryLineker
Ashley Barnes has received a yellow card after coming face-to-face with Joe Bennett. Barnes kissed Bennet on the nose (honestly), not once but twice. Lucky perhaps not to get 2 yellows. 💋💋
