Cardiff vs Leicester play off semi final

On sky sports now, still my favourite game at this stadium by far. What a match! That team was brilliant for Cardiff. Whittingham was another level, aswell as Chopra and Bothroyd.

Watched in full a few months back on sky. Remember watching it not believing how good a football side we were and just how each player was so good on the ball and could play quickly. I compare to what we have seen since and feel it was taken for granted

Now there’s a manager that was never fully appreciated by the fans.

Bellamy said that he was good. Took a team that included talented players that other clubs weren’t keen on due to their unprofessional attitude. Training seemed to be a ‘come as you please’ and maybe that’s why they tended to fail at last hurdle. Exciting team to watch though, no doubt about that.

The team that reached the play offs against Reading was without doubt the most talented side we have ever had in my lifetime. We had Bellamy, Chopra, Boothroyd, Burke, Whittingham, McNaughton, OlIfanjana, Hudson, Marshall, regulars and for various parts of the season Drinkwater, Ramsey, Koumas and a very young but at the time a very talented Adam Mathews. At one time we were flying but for some reason it all fell apart towards the end.
