Yes, despite the fact its the middle of August, STILL cricket season (and nowhere near the end of baseball season over here), the schools are still on holiday, and the temperatures are kicking around 20c (apparently at last!), its FOOTBALL SEASON!
Yes last week saw the first game of the season for the mighty Bluebirds of Cardiff City. Last season it was all about Michael Chopra "coming over the hill", but with Sunderland stumping up 5 million for the geordie, he's now back in the Premiership where he belongs, and went and scored a last minute winner for them in their first game. Meanwhile, things haven't been too quiet coming in to Ninian with not one but TWO former Premiership (and even England regulars) joining. Firstly winger Trevor Sinclair, and then.... rather excellently.... striker Robbie Fowler.
Although with Fowler being injured, we managed to lose the opening game at home to Stoke, and then squeak through against Brighton in extra-time in the pointless Coca-Cola Cup. So not impressed with this high scoring attack, today we go and sign Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. Another ex-Premiership and international striker, who apparently has been transfered for a total of over 28 million!
So our potential starting strike force, is worth about 40 million! Ok, their both in their thirties now, and so getting on a bit, but they can still finish as well as ever, all we need to do is give them the chances!
OH, and finally, someone involved in the club before the most recent takeover has decided that the club owes them 30 million..... NOW! Hang on a sec.... I'll just reach into my back pocket for some loose change that should cover it! The club re-assures us that there is no case to answer, and so all is well (ahem!).
Sounds like the start of another typical, "boring & uneventful" Cardiff City season.
The future's bright, the future's BLUE!
