The Editorial Inquisition - Part 2 - Cardiff City
Michael Morris, Aged 42 and I'm an IT engineer.
How long have you supported Cardiff?
I've supported Cardsiff since I was 7.
What is your earliest memory of the club?
Watching European football on the Grange End back in the 70's.
What is the clubs proudest moment you have witnessed?
Two occasions. The FA Cup final, that we didn't win. And the 2003 play off final that we did win.
How did the club perform in 2007/08?
In the Cup we did brilliant. In the league we again finished mid table.
Did the club make many additions or sufferer many departures in the
summer?
We have brought in 6 or 7 players but none are really high profile. We could have a gem in Ross McCormack who looks a bargain at £120,000. Outgoing we sold Aaron Ramsey to Arsenal for £5m and Glenn Loovens to Celtic for £2.5m.
Any last minute signings in the transfer window?
Eddie Johnson from Fulham was the last player in. We did lose Steve Thompson to Burnley as the window closed but thankfully we refused a £6m offer for Joe Ledley from Stoke.
How have the Bluebirds shaped up so far this season?
We are unbeaten. Into round three of the Carling Cup but we have drawn three out of our four league games. We'll be in good shape if we win tomorrow.
Who is your best player?
Hard to pick one individual but the star man at the moment is defender Roger Johnson. He's destined for the Premier League.
Who might Bristol City be able to expose?
I can't give away such secrets. (Ed...It's ok I'm not playing and I'm sure Gary Johnson won't be using this website to do scouting on you boys!)
How do you assess your chances this campaign?
No threat of relegation. Mid table again most likely but with a bit of a push we could be challenging near the top.
How do you think Bristol City will do this year?
Second season syndrome. I don't think you'll do quite as well as last season but with Gary Johnson in charge you won't struggle either.
Which Bristol player do you think will be the dangerman for your team?
Just because of the history the only player we know is Trundle. We hope he plays and makes a foolf himself but at the same time knowing if someone is going to do something out of the ordinary it might just be him.
If Cardiff were an alcoholic drink , what would they be?
Strongbow. To match what most of the fans are full of at the games.
Sum the club up in three words...
Pride of Wales
Give us your prediction for the game...
Cardiff 2 - 1.
As far as the season goes generally...
Who will win the league?
Who else will get promoted?
Who will be relegated?
Who will win the league?
Who else will get promoted?
Who will be relegated?
You have to fancy teams like Birmingham and Reading to be strong. I think Wolves will be right up there as well. At the bottom will Burnley and Blackpool.
