EPL Round 36 Recap: United Get Complacent, City Bore, Merseyside Underwhelms

Last weekend's draw against Arsenal confirmed that Manchester United wouldn't break Chelsea's all-time Premier League points record, so naturally, Sir Alex Ferguson decided to play a weakened team to treat his Old Trafford crowd to a home loss against Chelsea.

CHINI: Datuk Seri Najib Razak today spoke of the possibility of Malaysian footballers playing for the Malaysian-owned Cardiff City FC team of Wales which has secured promotion to the English Premier League (EPL) next season. The prime minister said Malaysian footballers could be allowed to play for the Welsh team to gain experience playing top-level football.

After three seasons of play-off disappointment, Cardiff City finally gained promotion to the Premier League next season, and they have a chance to go up as Champions if they win at Burnley on Saturday.

It has been 51-years since Cardiff were in the top tier of English football and for the first time the Premier League next season will have two teams from Wales.

It's official: next season the league known to most people outside the UK as the English Premier League will be one-tenth Welsh. Cardiff City last night confirmed their promotion to the top-flight with a 0-0 draw against Charlton. That ensured that they will go up against south Wales rivals Swansea next season.

Cardiff City are promoted to the Premier League. The club needed a draw to clinch promotion from the nPower Championship tonight, and they got just that with a 0-0 draw, which is enough to mathematically move them up to the promised land of the Premiership.

So next season we'll have two Welsh sides in the Premier League, with Cardiff City deservedly securing their first ever place in the top division, where they'll join Swanswa City, after a 0-0 draw at home to Charlton. Cue massive celebratory pitch invasion.

Just shows you where a lot of hard work and, er, a Malaysian billionaire can get you.

One of the toughest challenges in football is the race to win promotion to the Premier League from The Championship. The rewards for just one season in the top flight are reported to be worth in excess of £100 million, thus, it is understandable why each of the 23 teams in the second tier want to get out!

Cardiff City's promotion back to the top flight after several decades of absence has started joyous celebrations in Wales. As Cardiff are aware of their status for next season before May itself, they are expected to get a significant advantage over other promoted teams. Cardiff manager Malky Mackay will be able to start looking at potential signings, while the club will be able to start negotiations much earlier than their rivals.

Should Managers Face the Chop Before Their Newly Promoted Sides Get a Chance in the Premier League?

EPL Talk at related • 0 views

In recent years, the Premier League has witnessed some of the harshest managerial sackings in soccer. The majority of dismissals in recent years have been at the expense of a manager who has just gained promotion with his side to the Premier League. Managers have been sacked (some unfairly) for their work in the top flight, whilst others have been replaced for reasons that are still unknown today.

The Revisionism Of Ridsdale

Twohundredpercent at related • 0 views

I knew it wouldn't take long. Peter Ridsdale remains far better at taking credit than earning it. So he was always going to consider himself pivotal to Cardiff City's promotion to the Premier League. It was just a pity that, last night, the BBC fell in with (for?) PR-Pete's spin so readily. Ridsdale's ability to be around when the plaudits are handed out resembles David Beckham's when there's a goal to be celebrated – the only thing about Beckham's game which has ever matched his crossing ability.

Congratulations, Bluebirds

Tonight Cardiff City have finally reached the summit of the English football pyramid after years of faltering at the last hurdle. Congratulations to them. Where the majority of fans will be elated at the thought of playing Manchester United and a top flight derby game with Swansea, there are a few who called themselves fans this time last year that find themselves apathetic towards this success.

Perhaps the most surprising aspect of what now looks likely to be stage two of the rebranding of Cardiff City is how easy it has all proved for Vincent Tan so far. There were, presumably, meetings held at the club towards the end of last season at which the possible risks of him pursuing such an aggressive rebranding of the club were explained.

On the pitch, Cardiff City are having a season that has been about successful as any of their supporters could hope for. The club is eight points clear at the top of the Football League Championship with only a third of the season left to play, and barring a spectacular collapse a place in the top division of the English football system for the first time in a little over fifty years is now a near certainty.

If the Insolvency Service (IS) had wanted to really punish Preston North End "chairman of football" Peter Ridsdale for his recently-revealed derelictions of directorship duties, they would not have stopped at barring him from holding company directorships for seven-and-a-half-years. They would surely have barred him from any personal PR-activities.
