Bottom of the table


In 115 years as a professional football club, Cardiff City has finished rock bottom of a league table on just five occasions:

1928/29 - bottom of the First Division
1930/31 - bottom of the Second Division
1933/34 - bottom of the Third Division (South)
2013/14 - bottom of the Premier League
2024/25 - bottom of the Championship

The 2024/25 campaign was the first in which the Bluebirds finished bottom of a 24-team Football League division.

It’s amazing to think that during the Seventies, Eighties and Nineties, when the club was often in serious financial trouble and fielding some of the weakest, most hopeless sides in its history, Cardiff City never once finished bottom of a league table, and yet they’ve now done so twice in eleven years while under the control of a multi-millionaire owner.

No excuse for finishing bottom this time around.

The premier league is a different beast all together though especially when you factor in poor VAR calls.

The chaos is all on Tan, but what a group of lillylivered players.

Youngsters, Crocks and journeymen just looking for a paycheque

Only O'Dowda, Rinomhota and Salech can look us all square in the eye.

The kids will improve and find L1 easier, but no more senior pro's off serious injuries going cheap, please.

We asked a CM to be a right back, and he kept out the number one right back, something wrong there.

He tried and was professional, he'll end up back in the championship due to his professionalism. I doubt many will.

Another example of how low our bar has dropped. Rino was a stand out performer, but relative to some abysmal competition.

He's not a RB, but then he's also not a starting CM for me. He is what he is, a good utility pro who'll give 110%.
