The BBC's desperation for an upset is painful.  The guy screaming and shouting about little sheffield United giant killing against QPR was pathetic.

Not sure it's "wrong" more bizarre. I'm all for fund raising initiatives but this one is slightly insane:

Accrington Stanley fans are being asked to spend £20 on souvenir tickets for a game which will never happen.

The League Two side blew their chance of hosting Manchester United in the third round of the FA Cup by losing to Yeovil in their second-round replay.

Undeterred by missing out on a lucrative tie against United, Stanley have still produced 250 tickets.

Chairman Peter Marsden said the money would go towards "strengthening the squad" for the rest of the season.

The limited-edition tickets are being marketed as marking the club's FA Cup run.

It might have been a bit of a generalisation - and of course there were certainly protests in the first season they changed -  but there is no doubt that the protests have been gaining momentum lately and there is a correlation between that and their league position. I know quite a few Cardiff fans who now boycott, apparently because of the kit, who didn't in the PL season.

The South Wales Echo was neutral initially but has recently joined the campaign against - http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/south-wales-echo-cardiff-city-7093125

The boycott seems to have been extremely effective - blue shirts coming back immediately:

Apparently because he got a bollocking off his mother?

"The Christmas and New Year period has given me time to reflect on events of the last year. Spending time with my family has had a profound effect upon me, my mother... spoke to me on the importance of togetherness, unity and happiness. Cardiff City Football Club is important to me and I wish to see it united and happy."

More about the line below when coupled with the £10.6m loss, as opposed to the (still less of a loss than 1982 ltd) £10.6m.

One of the bigger clubs will implode soon and that will be a massive wake up call to clubs carrying these debts and hopefully stop this vast overspending madness.
