Experience doesn’t just come from playing For Swansea you know. The aforementioned CB is the only young and inexperienced player in your squad. The rest are both not young or inexperienced. The only other player who could maybe fit your descriptions is the striker who at 23 isn’t that young and has also played top level football in France so it’s hard to call him inexperienced.

The rest are neither young or inexperinced with them all playing well over 100 senior professional matches each.


As for who you start against us I couldn’t give a monkeys as the game is all about wether our players actually turn up with the right attitude or not.


I didn’t say it did. But being experienced playing in a team is vital, so players that have not played much for us for years are correctly labelled as inexperienced. As I stated we had a defence that have never experienced playing together before, one of which has never experienced a first team start. The rest are either reserves/bench players or young inexperienced players such as Kalulu in which it was around his 5th taste of any kind of British footballing minutes. But you tell yourself what you need to :laughing6:

As for who we start against you:- whether you care or not is irrelevant. The fact is around 90% of those that started against QPR will not be starting against you, which means comparing that side to our first team (or more laughable, comparing against your first team) is ludicrously stupid :laughing6:

Aye should be straight forward.

Is that why we are 6th and you are sitting in 12th? :roll:

We will still be above you regardless of the result.

You can’t say that till the end of the season as mid season the table means Jack shit!

As you know we have outperformed you throughout history more top flight seasons (one less than double in fact), higher finish in top flight 2nd (only missed out on goal difference) your highest ever finish was 6th, we have actually done well in Europe reaching a semi and two other quarters including beating huge clubs like Real Madrid. Whilst your history in Europe is losing first or second round every time or last 32 in the Europa league without beating anyone of note. We have won the oldest and most prestigious National cup along with being runners up 2 other times whilst you have never even made the final.

You are small fry both as a city and a club and if our players turn up on Sunday we will win but either way come the end of the season we will be above you :ayatollah:

I think there is a good chance we will be seven points behind Swansea after this weekend. Based on our performances all season but in particular the last month or two, I don't think we will finish above the Swans this season, and not convinced we will finish above Bristol either. We need to improve a fair bit if we are going to end up in the top ten this season.

Of course I can. You may finish the season better if you lift, but we have been better - hence we are 6th.

You are living in the past mate. We will have finished above you 9 times out of the last 10 should this season continue the way it looks to. Anyone approaching their 30’s (depending when they started going) will only remember Swansea finishing above Cardiff more often than not. In fact those approaching their 50’s will also remember the Toshack years and well as the recent successes.

You can try and convince yourself by reading Wikipedia pages of things happening that nobody remembers or was alive to see, but reality suggests otherwise. If you do want to catch up to us then you need to stop harping on about football when dinosaurs still roamed and actually look to win something in the present day... or do you believe that’s too hard as football is a different entity now and you have to be exceptional to do so? That’s the difference.
