I have a love-hate relationship with it but....

... I hear LONDON CALLING!

Yes, thanks to the magic of the FA Cup, and the lure of Cardiff's first visit to Wembley in 81 years, I am coming back to "Blighty" for a brief, but sure to be exciting weekend.
This really was an opportunity I couldn't miss, and despite the obvious costs involved, and whatever the result maybe, its going to be worth every penny.
And it seems I'm not alone in feeling this way, with Bluebird fans from Alabama, Arizona and Bangkok even coming back for this one.

So, on Thursday April 4th Air Chaos (Air Canada to most people) will be chauffering me to Heathrow, and after a hectic weekend of family, friends, fun AND FOOTBALL, I will be returning to Toronto on Monday 7th.

And dangling at the end of all this excitement, is the potential for a place in the FA Cup final, and another Wembley appearence in May.
See you all SOON!

"WEM-BER-LEY, WEM-BER-LEY....

.....WE'RE THE FAMOUS CARDIFF CITY AND WE'RE GOING TO WEM-BER-LEY!"

It's a good job I wasn't watching the Middlesbrough v Cardiff FA Cup quarter-final in a public place on Sunday morning, otherwise there would have been a lot of people thinking something very strange was going on with the welsh boy jumping up and down singing songs and tapping his hands on his head in a very strange way.

All this in response to the mighty mighty BLOOOOOOOOOOBIRDS winning up in the northeast of England quite emphatically 2-0.

So now we face Barnsley in the semi-final at WEM-BER-LEY in what has been quite a fantastic FA Cup competition this season. Shock, after shock, after shock, and this weekend was probably THE most shock filled of all.

The magic of the FA Cup is alive, well, and kicking back irresistibly this year!
LONG LIVE THE CUP!
