I was trying to be sarcastic, sorry (I know, on the internet), what I should have said was: yes. It's more the crappy cliches that remind me of Hughes.
Best to get it out of the way as everyone knew it was going to happen....stopped questions every press conference. Yawn.
First it was Nivea, now Aviva have got Klopp doing their new advert. please log in to view this image
OGS reportedly evicting Virgil Van Dijk from his house, that he had been renting to him. Hopefully it will mean that VVD will be spending the rest of the season house hunting.
All away wins would be just fine......and not overly greedy. Tomorrow is getting bigger by the minute.
Burnley host Wolves today in one of their more winnable remaining fixtures. Not to say that Wolves aren't a very good team, but they do have off days, and being at home Burnley will be looking for the win. Crystal Palace are at home to Huddersfield so you would expect them to win that which would leave them in a very comfortable position to secure safety. Cardiff don't host Chelsea until tomorrow. Of all the "top teams" they have left to play, this is probably their best chance of getting unexpected points. I don't expect all the results will go for us this weekend. But if they did, and we do the business ourselves, we will look in great shape to stay up. Fingers crossed.
Today is very important for Burnley. I'd suggest that they need to pick up something more today that either us or Brighton (or both) do. If they lose to Wolves, or simply mirror a draw between us and Brighton, it becomes difficult for Burnley to finish above either of us - Brighton especially (given the fixtures which the three of us all still have, not to mention a continuation of Burnley's poor form that would result from such a failure today). That's not to say that failing to make up ground today will be terminal for Burnley. After all, you would expect Cardiff to lose today and Burnley still have the opportunity soon to take three points from Cardiff. But they surely want to avoid it becoming a straight two-horse race between them and Cardiff - which is what it will begin to look like if they don't make up any ground today. (That said, I am expecting a Burnley win today.)
This is probably bang on the money - can't see us getting anything from these, but Man U away in our last game looks interesting given Ole was our manager the last time we went down from up here. Anything would be a bonus from our 4 games against the top 6 clubs but remember apart from them, we have also still yet to play Fulham, Burnley, Brighton and Palace. That's 12 points up for grabs, and anything more than half of that would put us in with a shout. Pinch a point or two against any of those "top 6" fixtures before our last game at Old Trafford and it could be a very interesting last day. You lot should be OK, and if you beat Brighton today, definitely so. If you do get a win there, then I think Brighton, even though they appear to have the easiest run in could get the wobbles, though I expect Burnley to be our "saviour" if anyone at all.
The ****storm over the Emiliano Sala tragedy shows no sign of abating. It appears that the pilot David Ibbotson was, because of his colour blindness, not licensed to fly at night. As well as that, the Piper Malibu plane was registered in the USA, and wasn’t supposed to carry paying passengers in Europe. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-47749265
It's fast becoming a laughing stock more than a tragedy now. A colourblind pilot... Unregistered plane... Cardiff crying like **** over a player who they later claim isn't even theirs... Yawn.
Udders going home. Don't shed a tear, they have done very well, and the club is in a great position now. Stable. Fulham on the other hand, I can't even understand what they tried to do this season.
To have any chance of staying up, Cardiff will surely have to beat both Brighton and Burnley (as well as getting other points) - and of course that in itself would still have benefits to us. I cannot see us going down from here. And it's been many, many months since I felt like that.
