" Wem-ber-lee, Wem-ber-lee... "


The impossible dream becomes a reality as Cardiff book themselves a place in the FA Cup semi finals at Wembley. Oh yes!

Unfortunately, our ace corespondent was too drunk to compile any kind of meaningful report, so here's a few words and a collection of photos instead.

Victory!



Oh yes indeedy! Thanks to two first half goals by Peter Whittingham and Roger Johnson, the mighty Bluebirds out-hustled, out-skilled and outplayed the Premiership team today.

You could almost hear the cash till register notching up every time the Caerphilly-born 17 year old whizzkid Aaron Ramsey got the ball, but this was a great, all-round team performance and a deserved win for City.

So we're on our way to Wembley for the semi final. I'll be there!
