The prize if we beat Bristol City – Leicester City

Having just watched Aaron Ramsey produce a Man of the Match performance for Arsenal against West Ham I could only wish we did not have to sell players to survive and he was still with us.

Oh well the draw for the fourth round we are only in because yesterday’s game was call off Frank Skinner and Paul Elliot were doing the FA Cup Fourth round draw and one of the first out were City, Elliot picked out City meaning a home tie if Cardiff beat Bristol City then Skinner pull out Leicester City – not the best draw in the world but still an incentive to win at Bristol on the 12th.

It’s a case of in could have been if Swansea had beaten Leicester City yesterday but with Cardiff boss laid back approach to the last derby game.
