Today's Football 2018-19 Season

Fair point. However I’m not somebody who watches as much football as I possibly can- I watch matches that I actually want to watch, either because we’re playing or because I anticipate a good game that I can enjoy as a neutral, i:e games in the champions league or something like Spurs vs City on Monday night. The only time I would have to endure a game involving Cardiff would be when they play against us. So for the rest of the time I don’t care what they do.

It’s also hypocrisy of certain people in our fan base to criticise the style of play of these teams in these games when under Fat Sam we did almost as bad last year against the RS. He got a lot of criticism for his approach but also a decent amount of fans and a few posters on here happily backed his approach when we fluked the draw at Anfield. If Cardiff had somehow done the same today then the ends would have easily justified the means.
We had one year out of how ever many the Prem has been in existence where we played completely dire stuff. Maybe a few more under Moyes but we weren't awful to watch for his entire tenure. Meanwhile teams like Burnley happily employ Sean Dyche and Southampton with Mark Hughes. Those are the types that I'd like to see less of.
 
Schmeichel haha he was one of the ones some thought was better then Pickford
That year where he, Robert Huth, Wes Morgan, Danny Simpson and Fuchs formed a world class backline is still the weirdest thing I've ever seen in football. I understand Kante was incredible but those guys were legitimately good as well.
