Double whammy.
You have a punchers chance though with the type of football you play. Its terrible to watch but its pretty effective against the better footballing sides, just trying to break the game down and hope you get a chance or two and stick one away. It worked for Greece in the Euros.
Will be two good occasions hopefully. As for the double, still cant see it myself.

I like the not bothered start,come on be honest everyone is bothered and nobody wants to lose,as you know if cardiff win,this forum will be jack free for weeks,but if Swansea win,there will be loads of you fuckers on here

It's fantastic that you like most of your fellow supporters will be over confident, I'm sure this rubs off on the players too, so it will make beating you all the more sweeterand in my opinion slightly easier. Form and talent goes right out the window in these games and I believe that in Malky, we have for once a manager who knows how important winning this game is for the supporters, he and the team will not let us down

Im not sure how you can get "over confidence" from what I said.
Surely I said I doubt we will do the double and you definateky have a chance to beat us. My point was that these one off games arent really what our season is about. In the championship, being the underdogs, these games were huge for us. You are probably feeling now how we were back then. Compared to the feeling I had in the championship prior to the derbies im not terribly bothered. Not because i think we will win, but because we have nothing to prove, our league position and status now speak for itself.
It would be the forefront of my mind back in those days, i havent really given this one that much thought as of yet and its what 2 weeks away? That says everything to me.
Im sure you will fight tooth and nail. Im under no illusions.

Thats my point. You are underdogs with everything to prove hence why a lot hold that opinion. You wont get many of our fans having that opinion or at keast id like to think not.
Yes i would take 16th and two losses over 17th and two wins, in a heart beat.

Our goal as a team is to finish as high in the league as possible, not to beat Cardiff ffs. The fact you think that notion is moronic goes to prove exactly what I said in my opening post.

Yeah but 1 place higher??? fair enough if it was top half and 2 losses. Personally, I still wouldnt be happy that we'd lost to you twice. I hope we smash you to pieces and humiliate you in every way possible regardless of where we finish.
Then again, your not from swansea, you've admitted you dont like swansea or its people. You aint a real fan, just some weirdo in oz.

I don't know about moronic, but it's pretty daftif you finished 16th one place above a team tipped for relegation all season and lost both derbies, then most people would see that as a total disaster, but not you

Any place higher. Doesnt matter if its 1 or 11. Which part of "our ambition is to finish as high as possible" is so confusing to you?
Why do I have to like a city and the people who live there to support the football club? Do I have to automatically love Manchester as a city and all the people there because I like OASIS?
Your views get odder and odderthe fact you think our ambition as a team is to beat Cardiff more than finish as high as possible is literally insanity

If i chose 17th then our main ambition wouldnt be to finish as high as possible, it would be to beat cardiff wouldnt it? But it isnt so the results of the derbies are irrelevant.
Maybe it is rocket science after all

If swansea finish 16th it will be a pretty poor season so whats 1 place if you get to do the double for the first time ever. Yeah it would still be higher than 17th well done! No flies on you eh!

16th place is a slightly better season than 17th is it not?
Id want a better season if given the choice.

I was questioning a 1 place higher finish but to lose both derby matches. Every football team aims to finish as high as possible. Just like 16th is higher than 17th. Any more Mr State The Obvious?
