Cardiff, though, have won eight of their 11 home matches in the top four tiers of English football on New Years Day, with their only defeat being a 0-5 loss to Maidstone United in 1992.

What the managers are saying

Neil Warnock (Cardiff City): “If youd said four points from Christmas, wed had snapped your hand off. But it makes tomorrow more enjoyable. The pressure is so much at the bottom.“My problem is team selection, Ive got one more call to make which Ill do now. I always stop up at midnight so Im glad its 5.30 kick off so I get another couple of hours in bed.”Mauricio Pochettino (Tottenham):“We know very well because of the experience if you’re not 100 per cent in every single game in the Premier League it can happen.“It’s not enough to play 60 or 70 minutes, you need to play 95 minutes at your best. Like today we dropped a little bit in our energy and focus and in the last 20 minutes we conceded three goals.“That can happen. That can happen to us, it can happen to Wolves, to Liverpool, it can happen to Manchester City.”Mauricio Pochettino embraces rival manager Neil Warnock.3

Messi tops the list for top goalscorers in Europe

Yet we were delighted with our 10 man performance at Tynecastle so it is deeply disappointing to go top of the league then drop 5 points in the last two games.
