In a week when Mr Fox snacked on our chickens, we needed something to lift our spirits.
How nice then to see Cardinal Nichols with a Cardiff City shirt.
Such a shame that he chose the red version and not the Marian blue (with yellow and white Vatican trim), so beloved of many popes.
I know he got a red hat, but to empathise with Cardiff fans perhaps he should have chosen a blue hat?
A blue hat for blue times...
Still, as St Thomas More - friend of Cardinal St John Fisher - said, no one gets to heaven on a feather bed. That's a sentiment Cardiff fans can associate with!
