A Sort Of Blues Return At Cardiff City

For all the bullying and coming from their club of late, supporters of Hull City can at least take a crumb of comfort from the fact that, on the pitch, their team is holding its own in the Premier League at the moment this season. This isn't a luxury that is currently being extended to the long-suffering supporters of Cardiff City. These two clubs met in the Premier League yesterday afternoon, and travelling Hull supporters might well have found it instructive to learn a little about what a policy of divide and conquer looks like after a couple of years or so.
On the pitch – Hull City in blue, Cardiff City in red and black, of course – things remained as disjointed for Cardiff as they have at any point over the last couple of months or so. Goals from Tomm Huddlestone and Nikica Jelavic had already put anything like a result well beyond the home team by half-time, and a second goal from Jelavic twelve minutes into the second half proved to be the tipping point for some Cardiff supporters. The Cardiff City Stadium started to empty a little after this, and by the closing stages of the match, by which time the visitors were four goals up and cruising to their most comfortable win of the league season so far, there were large gaps in the crowd where supporters had decided no more and walked away.
Cardiff City remain one place off the bottom of the Premier League table, and with just twenty-two points having been accumulated from their twenty-seven league matches so far, time is starting to run out. More troublingly still, the teams remains at best in stasis in so far as performances on the pitch, whilst the others around them still seem capable of showing signs of life. Fulham, now led by Felix Magath, picked up a handy point at West Bromwich Albion yesterday afternoon, whilst West Ham United laid to rest any remaining doubts over their potential to be relegated at the end of the season with a win over Southampton which saw their recent rise from the relegation places to the comfort of the middle of the Premier League table continue unabated.
At The Cardiff City Stadium right now, however, all is discontentment and all is gloom. Cardiff City have won twice in the league since beating Swansea City at the start of March and were knocked out of the FA Cup at home by Wigan Anthletic, from the Football League Championship. And at the time of the season when clubs sitting near the foot of the table
