You know you’ve made a great start to the new season when you do a lap of honour after the first game.
The win over Norwich City at the weekend was pulsating and I can’t remember an opening game quite like it. Normally the first game of the season is usually reserved for finding your sea legs, but this game was played more like a play-off semi-final, with both sides tearing into each other.
Norwich, who have spent the last few years yo-yoing between the top two divisions, occupying the hinterland of being too good for the Championship and nowhere near accomplished enough to remain in the Premier League, looked a little undercooked and it was clearly a good time to play them. I don’t doubt that after a few weeks, they will have reacclimatised and found their rhythm, but this game was all about the new-look Cardiff City.
