Blakey: It was fantastic yesterday. Fans are becoming conscious that we can match up with just about anybody in the league on our day. Strategy wise, we have got it right.
We have some tough games in December against the team around us.
Our easier games are more like March / April. If we can get through December and January we will be doing ok.

Tucker: I think the big teams bring out the very best in us. The players knew it wasn't the greatest Manchester United team ever but Cardiff matched them and I reckon they should have won.

Blakey: Referees have been getting slammed this weekend. After the game I would expect the managers to come out and be honest. You can't defend the indefensible. Moyes said Rooney's wasn't a real kick. That's double standards. How can you start pointing the finger next week.

Tucker: The worst thing is, the ref bottled a massive decision. On the TV against Man United and he didn't make the big call.

Blakey: If it's considered dangerous play, that incident is a red card.

Blakey: There is no doubt the big names have more influence over the referees. It's frightening.

Blakey: I didn't see Medel throw the punch but the two of them were at before that. I knew those two would get called up.

Tucker: Referees need some help. Every weekend we are talking about referees and it's spoiling it for everybody.

Blakey: Since the Premier League was born, United have been the kings of it. It was amazing to see Cardiff get a draw,
Fraizer has played well all season but he knew he had to score. We need somebody who will score 10, 15 goals and he was getting frustrated. He was right against those two yesterday because he wanted to run in behind all day and Evans and Ferdinand didn't like it.

Blakey: As long as Noone works back, I think he's worth a start. I would say to him 'as long as you're tucking in at times, go for it.'

Tucker: He immediately started making things happen when he came on.

Tucker: The idea that Tan wants to sack Mackay is one of the most ridiculous things I've heard in my entire life

Blakey: I had a Babycham at the 1993 reunion do. It was nice to see some of my old friends. It was a shame Pikey wasn't there because I haven't seen him for years. It was great to speak to the lads who had great memories of the time.

Blakey: Against Arsenal, we will set up the same as we did against Swansea. United don't play as quickly as Arsenal because their players are older. I don't expect Cardiff to get thrashed but I would expect them to defend for about 60 minutes.

Tucker: Aaron Ramsey is having a brilliant season. He's back from the injury and at the top of the game. He's added goals to his game. He really loves Cardiff too. He tweeted about how happy he was last night.

Blakey: When I retired, I realised that I couldn't do what I used to do. I thought about changing position but every time I tried to sprint my hamstring would go. It took me about four years to get over it. I just wasn't interested in football. I just tried to get on with it. Every May, June my body would start kicking into pre-season mode.

Blakey: When Giggsy was playing for Wales his hamstring stretch was embarrassing because he'd done so much sprinting. Since that he has been doing yoga and he is in much better shape. What great management from Sir Alex Ferguson. And for a club like that to keep him playing to 40, with a change of pace, is superb.

Blakey: Hopefully Hull are going to be dragged into the dogfight now. There is a problem waiting to happen with the name change. At the moment, I would say Palace, Sunderland, Norwich and Hull will be the four bottom teams. Three of them will go down. Fulham will get out of it. At the moment players like Berbatov have it too easy.

Blakey: I'm a big advocate of Malky but sometimes things have to move on. Look at Rodgers at Swansea and Adkins at Southampton. The problem they would have if Malky went, whoever they bring in knows what a great job Mackay has done. Your first thought would be, to better that, I will need money and would he want to work with the owner.
