I woke up this morning all excited it was Saturday and football then I remember Cardiff City were playing Sunday because the knuckle draggers (rugby fans) were in town sending me into a raged of hatred. Another nail in the coffin of the of the Welsh egg chasing hierarchy why can’t they play Sunday. It's not like the Cardiff v Biringham game is being moved because the game is on TV
While most fans have voiced concern of the return of strikers Michael Chopra and Ross McCormack to their form club, but it is the return of Chris Burke that occupies my mind. He is the only player who left in the summer I wanted to see stay with Cardiff even before Craig Bellamy. Burke is the kind of player who can open up a game with a simply pass of the ball or one of his darting runs down the right flank.

Burke signed a pre-contract agreement Birmingham joining official on a two-year deal on at the beginning of July, having left Cardiff on a free transfer under the Bosman ruling. Speaking this week in the build up to tomorrow’s game he said the move from Cardiff happen at the right time going on to say,
"This season, I have never felt better fitness-wise and strength-wise. I think I am playing my best football.
"I am playing week in, week out and not getting subbed in the 70th minute or whatever.
"Sometimes it is best to have a fresh start and a new manager - you don't want to get too comfortable at a club.
"I felt it was the right time and knew if Cardiff didn't go up there would be drastic changes."
Was there a thin veiled pop at former boss Dave Jones there? He did seem to be the one subbed for technical reason. You can bet he will be get a warm welcome at the Cardiff City Stadium, but hoping he as an awful game.
