Socks away

What on earth? The good news is Cardiff winning three games on the trot, after an awful 14 match run of no wins at all. Also the legendary 52 points now achieved after last night's Sky-fesr 2-0 victory against Barnsley makes us safe from relegation. If you are wondering why a football fan is relieved his team is safe from relegation when they are only 1 point off second place, you know NOTHING about supporting a football team, and probably are either uninterested in football altogether or have spent your life supporting someone like Man U or the Gooners. Not a PROPER team.

The bad thing is our TV shame. Not our normal fighting or riots or anything like that, but our socks. Yes, thats right, our socks. As Ledley and then McNaughton lay supine on the pitch, close ups of the backs of Cardiff players legs as they stood around watching physiotherapists do their thing revealed that Cardiff have the name of the city, in Welsh, printed on the backs of their socks. But, horribly, instead of the properly spelt 'Caerdydd', there on all the players socks (all 22 plus 6 sub socks) is printed 'Caerydd'. That's right: a 'D' missing. Pretty pathetic when you can't spell the name of your own city. We're a laughing stock I tell you.

You wonder who the sock suppliers are. Did they get them cheap in bulk from some Ebay supplier? Did they get them from the club shop? Unfortuntaely, the ones in the picture above, from the City online club shop don't show the back, so it's impossible to tell whether the ones City have been selling to fans have a similar mistake. Suspiciously though, the shop indicates they are "sold out". Hmmm.

Anyway it's apparantly not true that Swansea have got socks with "illiterate jack bastards" written on them. But only because they couldn't fit it all on.
