You jacks were seen as a bit of an embarrassment if the truth be known, not showing for Wakes away games and dressing like tramps wasn't cool at all back then. :lol:
Yeah you have zipped past us in the league and you have your premier league, enjoy it, I guess your rivals are villa for now as you are light years ahead of us. I mean you even have a development centre in front of my house in Heath park, fans all over the world and a 40,000 stadium on the way. Yep, way out of our league, I'll stick on the wurzels thanks.... 8-) :lol:



Come on Goats, you say it enough times and you might even get me to believe you, you mentioned the 80's, we zipped passed you on and off the pitch then too especially the early 80's.


That's funny, yeah you did go up in 81 you are right, the plummet after was so severe I almost forgot. You lot were fearsome back then your right :lol:

We would have needed to have been relegated to sing about them, not promoted....dear me how dull is this one.
Face it, most don't care about little ole Swansea despite the fact it's never going to get better than this for you.....

A genuine question for the jacks - Should that be plural as most are proably the same guy.

How many Cardiff fans post on Planet Swans ?

Do we have any weirdo's like Roathy stalking your sites ?

Undoubtedly you are miles ahead of us, but it only seemed a short while ago that little boy was crying on the radio (is he roathy :? )

It was 23 months ago we beat them and battered them 2nd half at the ccs...I think we went above them too. Things change very quickly in football. In saying that the championship is a great league, big clubs and far less of the twats that infest the premier league....

Yes there are cardiff fans on PS, used to be more, but PS isn't a place that cardiff fans will get any enjoyment with Swansea doing so well.

Here is my viewing, and I have scored them out of 100, so you can get the idea of which rivalries are our most heated - in my opinion of course...

Geographically
1) Swansea City 100
2) Bristol City 90
3) Newport County and Bristol Rovers 60

Non-local clubs
1) Leeds United 75
2) Chelsea 50
3) Birmingham City 45
4) Wrexham 40
5) Plymouth Argyle 30

Imagine if those two were the same day?! Maybe they were initially. Carnage on Severnside!

1. 2 (regulars).

2. Yes we do. Roathy. :laughing6:

3. The 'little boy crying' was a wind up. Surely your not so stupid to believe it was anything other as you seem a decent sort! :thumbright:

As for the rivalry thing. Well it's each to there own for you lot, who gives a f**k really. It's pointless Swans fans coming on here and telling you that we are your biggest rivals when for some we simply aren't! But in the main i'd say we are to most. Obviously you are to us as we have no other club nearby, apart from Newport, and tbh they never came too Swansea despite some of you bigging them up! But as I said, who gives a shit these days apart from those living in the past. :thumbright:

Carnage is Cardiff v Millwall called off so both mobs went too Somerton Park for the Newport v Everton Fa cup game! But I'm guessing you were born long after!

Mate, f##k off. You clearly arent in the know.

Last time Bristol City came here, they destroyed the Great Western when none of our lads were in it, and clashed with some of our lot around the corner, outside the Prince of Wales. They let off flares in the pub, and in the street at our fans.

As for County vs Rovers, they had running fights in Newport bus station, and outside the Memorial Ground, Newport fans put a a Rovers pub window through, and fought inside.

Something nasty happens when South Wales faces Bristol.

Im 40 and for me its the Jacks. Grew up with them and probably know more Jacks than Bluebirds where im from. Im a Port Talbot lad and was the only Cardiff fan in my year at school. That was fun though. I still walk around Port Talbot in my Cardiff gear and always will. Proud to be a PT Bluebird of 26 years. :bluescarf: :bluebird:

Your right there 64. The battles with Newport have been by far the worst over the years as Annis well knows. I was only a youngster in the mid 80's but remember seeing older cardiff fans fleeing up queen street to tell other cardiff fans that 100 odd Newport had got off at queen street station. It went in every week it seemed 84/85.....crazy times they were.
