What does Solskjaer find so amusing?







So what does Solskjaer find so amusing?

He would have seen his new team hold the might of Arsenal for nearly 90 minutes before conceding. He will take that as a good sign. He knows from his playing days that Arsenal are one of the toughest premiership sides to crack. He will have seen spurts of excellent football from Cardiff. He will have seen Marshall hardly getting his gloves dirty as the men in blue battled vigorously to keep the usually prolific Arsenal from shooting. Maybe he is just smiling because he is gripping his multimillion pound contract in his left hand pocket. And good luck to him and welcome aboard the insane ride that is Cardiff City.

He will also have learnt, or maybe just been reminded, that referees give sweet FA to lower teams like Cardiff. Even when the Arsenal player plucked Noon's shot out of the air with his hand the ref, Jonathan Moss, decided that was perfectly acceptable behavior from a top premiership team playing at home. A moment later Turner cleanly tackles a player, so cleanly in fact he sweeps the ball into touch as the Arsenal player falls over his legs. Result, yep, a free kick to Arsenal and just to let Cardiff know that there are different rules for them, Moss books the luckless Turner.

Lots of could haves and might haves. To lose Medel and Mutch hurt. We do not have players who can pull on their boots. They left two gaping holes.

So Ole, can I call you Ole? I have known you since you were a deadly goal scoring youngster at Man Utd. I will never forget the heart attack inducing goal you scored again Bayern Munich. So Ole, go and get us a couple more quality players with Vincent's dosh. We could be a middle of the table side.
