Throwback to April 2012

Cardiff City captain Mark Hudson from near the halfway line vs Derby County 👏

Torreense play their football in Portugal’s second tier.

The whole team gathered together to watch Cape Verde’s World Cup squad announcement and found out that their 37-year-old centre-back Stopira was on the plane.

A truly beautiful thing. ❤️

One of the greatest goals i have seen live in my favourite kit.

I miss this ground. I miss this era. I miss chaotic lower league football (it's changed now).

It’s Mark Delaney’s birthday today. You remember him.

Passing? Not for me, Clive.

@VFTNinian What hyperbole are Sky Sports going to use next season to big up matches between the three Welsh clubs? Their marketing department barely coped with two of them this year. Sky might push for the first Championship match to feature three teams to get us all into one montage.

On this day in 2021 🗓️

Harry Wilson scored the greatest hat-trick of all-time for Cardiff…

Mark Hughes did this in a 3-0 @FIFAWorldCup qualifying win over Spain! 😍

@VFTNinian How excited will we be to be back in the Championship by March when we have Preston and Blackburn away in the same week with Burnley at home on the Tuesday in between?

9️⃣9️⃣ years ago today, #CardiffCity became the first, and to this day the only, non-English team to lift the FA Cup! 🏆

CARDIFF CITY GOT PROMOTED so we’ve spent the last 24 hours doodling the whole squad, quite badly. We’re very tired and the results are catastrophic 💙

Mug sets & A3 poster prints are up on our shop now. Link below cos Elon hates links.

Shares appreciated 🙏🏻

@VFTNinian What a ride this season has been. It will live long in the memory cos we have had some great trips.

Think back to August and Isaak Davies's 96th minute winner at Wimbledon.

It's been building since. Well done to BBM and all the boys, and you guys for talking us through it all.

@VFTNinian Apologies accepted from all hosts. This time of joy is not one to be holding grudges 💙

[Leigh Sanders @LSanders_Music]

@VFTNinian Robertson and Wintle were far too good for this league today.

Bring on Huddersfield away on Tuesday.

Side question - other than Cardiff or Lincoln, of all the sides we have seen this year, which League One club would each host like to have a season ticket to watch every week?

[Leigh Sanders @LSanders_Music]

@VFTNinian It's frustrating we didn't win but we played them off the park at times and it's not our fault another keeper channels Superman for 90 minutes. On another day we get 4 or 5.

Saying that, I hope Pysgod charges Kpakio for the number of times he has to bail him out when they play.

[Leigh Sanders @LSanders_Music]

@SwanGirlH Rodon and Lawlor have to be our CBs now for the future. Let Rodon do the risk and reward and let Lawlor mop up if Rodon misses the first header/challenge. Plays to both their strengths. Let Davies play LB and he can tuck in to form a 3 if Roberts/Neco/Kpakio bomb forward at RB

@CCFCxYS22 The absolute slander from EA against Peter Thorne here 🤣

[Leigh Sanders @LSanders_Music]

@VFTNinian That was the most frustrated last night I have been in some time. Red card or not, we should have already had a cushion to defend. Really bloody annoying. More than the Barnsley game I'd say.

[Leigh Sanders @LSanders_Music]

@rhyslloydyy @Cymru "That's insane."

Great use of this Peep Show quote Rhys!

[Leigh Sanders @LSanders_Music]

@VFTNinian First half was okay I thought. Second half...

That must have been how most teams felt playing us under Warnock. Quick from back to front. Run at teams. Punish them. They hunted in packs.
