    Just read this on the official CCFC site about the up and coming Ipswich game.

    "Twenty games to play and thirty points to collect leaves everything open across the league, the key word of consistency relating to every ambition. It goes without saying that Cardiff City will have to be at their best to maintain local and lofty aspirations on a difficult afternoon."

    Now I'm not being awkward, but have they changed the rules?

    Its all this economic uncertainty Sparks.

    Its called devaluation, now 1.5 points per win not 3.

    Blame the Government Coalition, everyone else does.

    0.75 of a point for a draw and you lose 1 for a defeat.

    Its all about austerity.

    Wasn't that where the old Severn Ferry stopped before the first bridge? Away games were a bu££er in those days.

    Now I do fancy that new deduct 1 point for a defeat rule.

    If they applied it retrospectively for the season, the Wurzels should end it with about minus 9.

    Could well be with the top 12 or so clubs taking points off each other. Last year's 89 points could be more than enough this year but if we target 90 we should get there comfortably.
