it's the fifth biggest league in the world. Allegedly.

Re Cardiff, blue or red, red or blue, what does it matter? With your kit, you could be just about anybody else anyway, in future you'll just be confused with with say, Swindon, instead of Chesterfield.................disagree about the dragon tho'.
Proper kit indeed, which is why it matters.
If Norwich turned red, they would lose the affectionate tag "the canaries" which they've had for ever.
I remember the 1970s Chelsea of Bonetti, Osgood, Chopper Harris et al. "Blue is the colour" was the key in the club song.
These things shouldn't change because a focus group in Taiwan prefers the Feng Shui of a blue or red shirt.
In fact I would go as far as to say they can fark off for all I'm comcerned.
Proper kit.

I agree the Hammers should win.
"Big Sam" stylee - "big Carlton Cole backing into defenders a la Kevin Davies - getting free kicks outside the box or knock downs to Kevin Nolan.
All a bit similar to the abomination that was Bolton under "Big Sam"
However User482, who has 1st hand experience seems to think Sam has changed his spots a little.

Well done Ollie and the Tangerines. He was as humble as ever tonight, also remarking how the final is likely to be high scoring given that the aggregate for their own meetings this season with West Ham, had panned out 8-1 in favour of their forthcoming opponents!
I hope they win TBH, but I don't mind the Hammers.
As for Cardiff, well it seems the Play-offs were invented just for them to lose. Despite their fans acting like self-gratification artists when, ironically, they beat us at the play-offs back in 2003 (the hoops under Ollie) they don't exactly suffer from plastic support, and I'd be surprised if the Bluebirds became anything but blue, but you never know. Surely they have to get past the ignominy of being the 2nd Welsh club to ever get into the Premiership? Or could that be Wrexham, or even Cambrian and Clydach? They would appear to require automatic promotion to stand any sort of chance.

But Norwich are instantly identifiable as Norwich, just as a glance at a kit tells you it's Bristol Rovers, Blackpool, Plymouth, Bradford City, QPR or Yeovil, those clubs are lucky. I've looked on the Cardiff fans forum and in between people going nuts, a fair few are quite happy to change colours. A plain blue shirt is hardly iconic is it?
If this kit changes to red in return for investment and Cardiff being top of the table, you can bet the tune will soon change, very quickly too.
Good luck to Blackpool.

I can't work Allardyce out. I went to the Bristol City game a few weeks ago, which was dreadful Big Fat Sam rubbish: his tactic seemed to consist of lumping the ball up to Maynard and Vaz Te. Both players are small, and thrive on well placed through balls on the floor...whatever Pro-zone was telling him, it was wrong. Yet against Leicester and Cardiff, we played with more width, and much less of the high ball, to great effect.

Too many of our games,especially at home has been to use carlton cole as a lone striker,hoof the ball out of defence,bypassing the midfield.
For whatever reason bfs has seemed to change and for the better.
By playing Vaz te up front with cole and using the widths more we are playing less hoof and more on the floor football.
I'm glad it was Blackpool who have got through to the final as I've always liked Ian holloway for his plain speaking and honesty.
He comes out with some hilarious riposte to reporters and interviewers.
He will be welcome back to the PL.
