If it gets you promoted up to the Prem (their style of play) then it's served it's purpose. TBH they are a bit more adventurous this season and are scoring some goals, even if it's not so pleasing on the eye.

To be fair to the tossers, last season they bottled it big time after being ahead of us leading up to the end of the season.

Would you bet money against them achieving it this season, they do seem to be up there on a regular basis nowadays?

Well it was good enough to beat your lot.

And you don't get 13 shots on target away from home by just passing it along the back four.

But you haven't finished above us for over a decade. :D :D :D :D :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: You do seem to be a bit of a bogey team for us. Still, with Bothroyd back for the return I predict a big win for us. :D

I'm not a fan of Swansea's style of play but for the size of their city and the resources they have they are doing brilliantly. I don't buy into this hating Swansea thing. I hate players like Tate and Williams but I don't generally hate their fans or their club. I enjoy the derby games plus the banter it all brings and hope both of us go up. Us first though!

Why would you hate Williams?

Obviously not as you've only beaten us twice in fifteen attempts :lol:

What has Williams done to upset you lot? Admittedly Tate tries (and succeeds) to get under your skin, but Williams - all he's done is captain Wales? - strange lot you dwarfs.

Williams has this unprecedented arrogance about him and always has digs at our fans in the press and during the games. He's clearly got some inferiority complex about not being as good as Gabbidon and Collins!

As for us only beating you twice in fifteen attempts, doesn't really bother me. I've come to accept the fact we're likely not to win against you lot, but will still finish higher. ;)

The "dwarf" mention made me laugh. If indeed we are dwarfs, then going by the size of crowd averages, they must be minnows! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

williams is a prick. He has digs about cardiff fans to the press and then kicked the ball into the canton stand after the vermin scored last april.

i dont want an englishman captaining wales so i hope the c**t has a nasty injury that ends his career ASAP

Can I suggest you step back into reality and check the stats from the game on the BBC website. In case you can't find it, it'll be the one titled cardiff 0-1 swansea.

I beg to differ. Here's the hard facts : Link: BBC stats

Posession: C 49% / S 51%
Att. on goal: C 4 / S 13
Att. off goal: C 7 / S 6
Corners: C 4 / S 9
Fouls: C 16 / S 7

Three times as many shots on goal, over twice as many corners and over half as many fouls!

Not bad for a team that plays all their football in their own half? Perhaps you lot are right, there is only one team in Wales ;)

Not trying to defelct from the fact you deserved to win, but most of those shots were from long distance. I can only remember ur keeping having serious action 3 times. Save from Sinclair 1st half, shot that hit post and the goal.

As for the 2 wins in 21, you are being selective in what games you choose arent you ? No FAW Cup, no Welsh Cup. Add those in and the results over the same period are pretty even.

People who play wit stats to try to prove a point :roll:

It's alright lads, let them have their banter. They're clearly more concerned with us than their own club... which might explain the dire attendances.

Yeah it was more down to us having a bad day and missing Jay, Credit to them though they are a good side and they have built it without spending very much, We are a better side though and the league table shows it
