    Now you are consistently picking up away wins now I am going to stick my neck out and say you are as good as up, probably as Championship winners.

    I dare say most of you may not want to think that in case it goes tits up but I don't see it happening. From what I can gather, although winning most games, the performances are arguably not especially fantastic but if true then ultimately it does not matter as long as you go up.

    I did say a couple of months ago I thought you would make it this time as most of the chasing pack was even more inconsistent than Cardiff were at that time. The good news is the chasing pack are still inconsistent as hell (except Watford maybe) but you Bluebirds keeping grinding out results week in, week out.

    Look forward to our meeting next season in the top flight (hopefully we will hang on) <ok>

    hang on in there Thai.

    Watford, Hull, Palace and Leicester are all hanging on, but remain 10 points adrift. Everygame that goes by is a game less for anyone to catch us.

    I'm sure we'll lose a few and it may be that a team catches us, but will 2 teams be able to close a 10 point gap? Especially as they will take points off each other in the coming weeks.

    17 games to go and a few twists and turns left. Who knows.

    Totally understand where you are coming from but from the outside looking in and seeing what has happened so far this season it is going to take a catastrophic turn or events to see more than 1 team catching you up, be it Leicester or Watford.

    Some important gmes for us at the tail end of the season with Leicester and Hull near the death. The advantage will be that hopefully we'll only need a draw where they will need a win. Not saying we will play for a draw, but they need to win.

    With the events of recent seasons, I hope they are dead rubbers for us.

    Southampton fans were exactly the same as you were this time last season, almost to the day when I suggested they needed just X amount of points to make it. By my reckoning, Cardiff with 8 wins will cross the line (87 points) - less than half the remaining matches. I do believe that should be enough this season, might even get away with 7 wins <ok>

    That would be nice hampshire. We could then sit back and enjoy the last 8 games.

    Cheers Thai,

    I think it's ours to lose now, Campbell is the last piece in the jigsaw and I think this is our year.

    And last time we got promoted, 10 years ago, we had a striker called Campbell playing for us who also scored a particularly special goal. Spooky eh?

    Deja vous all over again. <whistle>

    Hope this Campbell has a much better record over time with us than the last one though.
