"finishing the year in 11th place." no need for "the year". - Done
" the competition's 50-year history" you used "competition" in the sentence already, perhaps switch one for "tournament" or something? - Done
Feels like the lead is 50% FA Cup run, 50% everything else in the entire season. I know it was the most significant aspect of the season, but perhaps not worthy of 50% of the lead...
"was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch leaving Cardiff in 15th place" would think a comma after pitch. - Done
"Cardiff failed to score in its" that odd singular thing (for me) again.. - Done
"for the side.[9] The side suffered" repetitive. - Done
Shucks, did I miss this in the other season list: player name in the squad list table should sort by surname... - Done
Same for goalscorers.
Thinking about it, does the match day goalscorers need sorting? They're listed in the order they scored in the match, so the column will only sort by the name of the first scorer, which perhaps isn't something worth sorting so to speak? Thoughts?

Yeah, I agree. You could do something with row spans and add each scorer in its own row, then sorting by name would give you all the goals by the same scorer in alphabetical order, but it would look quite clunky. I'd go for unsortable on that column.

" Despite being considered heavy favourites, the side c" again, you last mentioned a different club... - Done
"a third replay" wasn't it a second replay? - Done
"during the 1922–23 season" wouldn't it be more appropriate to link to that season's FA Cup article rather than Cardiff's season page? - Done
"Over 50,000 spectators" More than... - Done
"The goal rejuvenated Leicester" a little bit journalese. - Done
"semifinal" or "semi-final"? - Done
"92,000 spectators attended ..." avoid starting a sentence with a number. - Done
Also, when sorting the cup table, I would probably expect to see the rounds sort in "round" order rather than bare alphabetical order. - Done
Probably no point in having a single entry table as sortable... - Done
Any player/manager images we could add into the two long prose sections (league season and FA Cup run?)
Do all our readers know what the "offside rule" is? - Done
"The disappointing start to the season led Fred Stewart to sell long-serving forward Jimmy Gill ..." when did he sell him, it implies some kind of blame as well... - Reworded
