How is this even possible?

I'm all for bigging up the South Wales team but any sensible Cardiff and Swansea fans would expect us to play second fiddle to the Manchester Derby.

You dont get viewing figures from illegal streaming sites.

It might be on the link but because of the time zones and it was on a Saturday night (for us), people decided to stay up after the winter games to watch.

I'm sorry if it's already on the link.

Most don't even know where Wales is but it was on at a perfect time of day and on NBCs main channel rather than NBC sports.

I think it was broadcast around the time of some massive NFL game. Or something like that.

Yes, I'm sure there was a few hundred thousand Swansea City fans watching on NBC ;)

Streams don't count towards the viewing figures.

Our teams will meet again I'm sure, I just hope you haven't starved to death by then. Whats the social paying out these days? Will you survive on Chips alone? . :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5:

I'm sure our teams will meet again, but I don't think it will be any time soon. Good to see that you realise that you can't win a footballing argument with me so make yourself look silly with childish name calling.

Surely you're not old enough to have a wife? From your comments on here I would have guessed that you were about ten years old!

You're no fun, let's talk football then,

SCFC- when you get a good Manager they seem to leave? You play some good football at times? Your players seem to be at each other? Is your chairman up to the job? Will they ever serve joe's in the ground?

CCFC - a life supporting Cardiff City is a little testing at times lol

Out of our last four managers, one won the PL manager of the year award and another was short listed, so that can't be bad. Surely, the time to worry is when no-one is interested in your players or managers? Just like yourselves, if a big club comes in for a manager or player it's almost impossible to fend off.
Players have had a couple of spats this year, I can't deny that, but it's all sorted now.
Hope they don't serve Joe's -the frozen stuff in the tubs is nowhere near as good as the real thing.

"A little testing" has to be the understatement of the year!!!!!

How many points do you get for Manager of the Year? I am so glad you understand you are not and never will be a big club. The stuff in the tubs is a completely different recipe just like Us. :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf:
