Yep, still little old Swansea. History is all we need to compare our clubs. Play catch up before we steal your limelight....we're behind youuuuu!


I'm pretty sure league position contributes to it too.


is that an honour? Does that make them them the historic, no1 team in Wales? Look at the head to head honours list...it doesn't lie. a few season in 100 years...you cant say that makes THE difference.


Hang on now, aren't you on about which club is bigger? I'm sorry but they are definitely the no.1 team in Wales, two great seasons in the Prem and a great chance of winning a major cup final (it's considered a major cup final) plus Europe.



WOW! Disagree big time. Bigger club? That surely has to do with fanbase and honours. As a business they are no1 at the moment but not in any other way. How can you even think that. Being in the premiership for 2 season with their first meaningful trophy and a few trips in Europe....we've tasted all this too. Unless football as a sport started 2 seasons ago and Swansea fanbase has gone up by 400% then I cant agree with that.

Cardiff

Division Four Runners-up 1
Division One Runners-up 1
Division Three Champions 1
Division Three Runners-up 3
Division Three South Champions 1
Division Two Runners-up 3
F.A. Cup Runners-up 2
F.A. Cup Winners 1
FA Charity Shield Winner 1
Football League Cup Runners-up1
Welsh Cup Runners-up 10
Welsh Cup Winners 22


Swansea

Autoglass Trophy Winners 1
Division Three Champions 1
Division Three South Champions 2
Football League Trophy Winners 1
League One Champions 1
Welsh Cup Runners-up 8
Welsh Cup Winners 10
Play off Winners 1

Not only does it show our superiority, but it shows they've not even contended a proper trophy until now (well its a tinpot trophy apparently) so, even now...they have no bragging rights. Short term, most definitely...but in the long life span of football, will Swansea ever surpass us in any way!!?? I wont bother adding our European run.

Again, you haven't clarified about which club is bigger or which club is the no.1, theres a difference.

Again though buddy, no1 team in Wales? Did football as a sport start 2 seasons ago?

No but they are in the prem, perhaps on the verge of winning a major cup, doing better than us and are probably more financially stable than us. We aren't Weeds United who constantly think they deserve to be in the prem due to their history and that they think they are bigger than jupiter, again cause of their history!

The whole arguement on being a bigger club is debatable, but being the number 1 in the country is due to current form and who's the highest. For example, Man Shieks one the prem last season, thus making them the no.1 in england, but manure are still the biggest club in england due to their massive average attendances, global fan base and history.

Oh believe me, I'm bitter and slightly jealous but I honestly can't come up with banter as all I can think of is calling you lot gypos and saying we are the capital. :lol: :lol: And you presume right, I'm 19. Started following Cardiff in 2002 (if my memory serves me right).
