Rarely has a birthday present been better that this one: Cardiff beating arch rivals Swansea to hoist the team into fourth place, with the prospect of a play off place tantalisingly close.<\/p>\n

Read the first (score)line again, and savour it, roll it around your palate like a cheeky and responsive vintage 1811 Veuve Cliquot champagne – I’m sure you had a glass or two last night… then read it again, and then have a look at the Championship table, and then pour yourself another glass – you deserve it.<\/p>\n
Celebrating recent victories at the CCS has been somewhat akin to break-dancing drunkenly on the poop deck of the Titanic, a giddy and euphoric high tempered by sporadic reflections upon where that fricking iceberg is. Happy to report that the iceberg was duly melted last night, under the oxy-acetylene dragon-breath of 23,000 hoarse and bonkers Bluebirds who exploded into an orgiastic orgasmic love-in as Chopra fired his 92nd minute winner past dreaming Dorus to win the game for the mighty Cardiff City.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
