It's alright for some but give me fast wingers crossing into the box over a slow passing game any day of the weak.


You're not one of the football pundits who say "Swansea fans are privileged to watch this team play week in week out", then are you. You are envious of our success though, as I would be, if the boot was on the other foot. Even the Wall Street Journal loves us! http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142 ... lenews_wsj

At the end of the day, its playing like that, that has taken us from 92nd to 9th in ten years. Not to mention financial stability, where, for some games this season, we have over ten million pounds worth on the bench! :D

All that said, the title of this thread is a wind up. I would not take for granted the result of any game between the Swans and the Bluebirds.


I can understand appreciating it from a purely technical point of view but it's not a style of football that particularly interests me.

Certainly works for you though and would obviously love to be where you are in the league right now.

If we go up, we'd obviously strengthen the team. But, current form, and style of play we would get smashed by the Jacks.
If there's one team, I'd love us to play like, it's Swansea.... And it kills me to say it as I despise them.


I know what you're getting at but I don't see the relevance. Often the championship takes a different style of football and with inevitable changes if we go up then you're comparing apples with oranges. The jacks didn't win the div when they went up and it's not like they ripped the div apart. They finished level with us yet most would say we now have the best side we've had at this level.

And for what it's worth I would not want to try and replicate the jacks style as I find this possession, tippy tap football generally negative and quite boring.
