Not once in Cardiff City's history have we lost 5 successive games and managed to keep a clean sheet in any of them.

Usiogope. Sisi ni zaidi ya nusu tu ya msimu na hatuna hatari yoyote ya kwenda juu au chini. Labda hapa ndipo ujenzi wa upya unapoanza ,,Quote:

The ECWC exploits, only two seasons though really, the quarter final and semi final years, gives Scoular the glamour other managers lack. Real Madrid in another season though gave him his trump card, the type of trump card a mate who had the one claim to fame would regularly bring up in pub conversations. All his league seasons were failures in truth, Sheffield United and Watford being disasters in our close shave season. I suppose his tenure being during the early years of following the City for a lot of us gives us rose tinted glasses. Similar to how many of us remember our schooldays so well yet it’s a very small part of our lives. Or Fred Dewey and the board were shit scared to give him the bullet in case he filled them in.
If I remember correctly it was after we took all those hammerings that we signed Brian Harris from Everton to play alongside Don Murray. Our fortunes were gradually transformed and within a few seasons we were competing at the top end of the league.Quote:
