The disastrous home result coupled with WBA winning away at Norwich (a result that cost Chris Hughton his job on Sunday evening), has all but condemed Cardiff to relegation.
A season that promised so much has been ruined by one man.
Vincent Tan has blown the chance to be a hero in the Welsh capitol by dividing the fans and making a selection of poor decisions that have reuslted in the club hurtling back to the Championship.
Crystal Palace have all but confirmed their Premier League status thanks to Tony Pulis and his team including former Bluebirds Joe Ledley and Cameron Jerome.
Ledley scored Palace's second inbetween goals from Jason Puncheon (pictured making a comedy gesture to the home fans).
From the start Palace were in so much control and had one of their easiest wins of the season.
Tan and his celebrity manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer are so out of their depth that they are making the club an even bigger laughing stock than they have already.
There's no hope for optimism from me. The sooner the club is under new ownership and new management the better.
