I’m a firm believer that football stats don’t tell you everything about a game but looks like #Chairboys dominated this.

Those attacking stats demonstrate that we still haven’t replaced Kone

Would’ve taken a point before the game but need to add a cutting edge if we’re going to challenge higher up

“Given the Panthers’ disgraceful performance at the Africa Cup of Nations, the government has decided to…suspend the national team until further notice..”

Imagine if Welsh Gov took the lead of Gabon and did this to the national rugby team after the Six Nations😂😂😂

In the chairman’s lounge at Cardiff City yesterday and came across this picture of “the greatest player you never saw”

An appropriate post for a Friday I think!😂

Bought Do It Yoursefl by The Seahorses for £1 in D’Vinyl in Roath on Saturday.

I split up with a girl and she kept my copy.

Finally I have closure for a pound and 28 years later…..

Some longer thoughts on Y11 Sport & Media Ltd, whether their purchase of Cardiff can be avoided, and what the future looks like for them at the Arms Park. cardiffrugbylife.wales/2026/01/26/t...
The inexplicable stench of Y11
Even when it comes to Welsh rugby, this last week was packed particularly full of controversy, drama, anger and frustration. From businesses being sold and multi-club ownerships, to Parliamentary S…

Thank you to everyone who took part in this. Remember this is the beginning and Y11 do not deserve our trust. #YmlaenCaerdydd

Watched Escape From LA with my eldest last night.

From the basketball death match and the subterranean plastic surgeon to the car chase with a surfboard and hang gliding across LA, just a brilliantly wild film😂😂

Let’s start the protest against Y11 and make it clear that they are not wanted at our club

The WRU knows how these sessions work. Say sorry. Promise change. Talk about culture. Wait for the noise to die down.

Even by WRU standards the mess they’ve created since Monday is astonishing.

We’ve always know that they only care about themselves and their plans, but every time they reveal the grand plan it crumbles almost immediately.

They are not fit to run the game in Wales and it’s getting worse
January 22, 2026 at 4:51 PM
Just for the sake of accuracy, the rest of us haven’t been sold to Y11 leaving only Dan and Frasier to record😂

Great job on discussing a very difficult situation, everyone off to join CAC now👍🏻

Onward to a tough Benetton game on Saturday, to enjoy this whilst we can

Just a reminder to rugby presenters, journalists and pundits.

The potential closure of a rugby club by, effectively, its own governing body *is* a rugby matter.

Please don't report on this kind of issue and then say "but can't we talk about rugby?".

You already are.

Will attempt to piece together a podcast comprising of the ownership news, Exeter review, Benetton preview, general news and Wales squad this evening. Should be a quick one 👀

Questions/thoughts welcome and we’ll get through as many as we can…

I’ve written and deleted about twenty posts now, trying to put into words what the Cardiff ownership decisions means.

I can’t.

It’s the worst possible decision.

I know they want us to give up and accept what they’ve done.

We have to work out how to oppose it as fans, as no one else will.
