Things were looking promising this week as in two matches we led the opposition and looked worthy of our lead. By the end of each match both opponents had equalised and it was a case of back to the drawing board and the usual “team in transition” comment made by the manager. Cardiff were the [...]

Fan Report: Burnley 4-3 Preston North End
Almost twenty four hours have passed since I witnessed this game, and only now am I beginning to catch my breath back.
In a game which epitomised everything a derby is, and should be about, Chris Iwelumo’s stunning hat-rick and Jay Rodriguez’s late winner were enough to see all three points stay at Turf Moor.
