Big weekend for Cardiff

Woke up this morning hoping it was Monday and QPR and Swansea had both lost on the weekend. Breaking news on Sky Sports News was that the entire Norwich first team about broke their left leg in some secret Norfolk ritual and they had to fulfil the last two fixtures.

Nice to dream, but the fact is, we need ever ounce of luck including the possibility of QPR being docked over the charges of signing a player owned by a third-party with is against the FA rules. The Sun newspaper carried a story yesterday that the Londoners could be docked fifteen points according to a source in the FA, but an official statement was put out on the FA's website denying the article.

Today we need help from outside the Cardiff City family with our likely hero's of the day being Millwall were there is little brotherly love between the two sets of fans, but today Cardiff fans worldwide will have their fingers hoping for a Millwall win. They face Swansea at home who hasn't won an away game in the last five. Swansea along with QPR, Norwich and Cardiff are the only teams who are still in the race for an automatic promotion spot which for us Bluebirds fan mean a defeat or draw for them would be a blessing. Millwall are a great spot to keep up the pressure for a play-off place finish to the season so Swansea can expect a hard fought game ahead.

It's a London affair the other game of interest with QPR travel to Watford. The home team will be playing for pride having missed out on a play-off finish while a win for QPR would see the promoted as Champions of the Championship even a draw would be enough owing to a far superior goal difference.

News out of the Cardiff City camp to the up to the Middlesbrough with no talk about injury worries so base on that it looks like Cardiff will be at full strength.
