Where does that result stand in scfc's history. I know the hull and reading games were more important, but I think last night was a special night in our history. |  |

Not the biggest though. |
If we were to go on to win the pl and champions league one day people will still say that the hull game was bigger, but I disagree hull and reading and even preston in 82 were more important than Thursday without doubt but what Thursday represents is not importance but something that I cant really put into words, just unbelievable from where we were not long ago. | |

It wasn't just the result but the manner in which we achieved it.
I can't ever remember a British club dominating a European away game to such an extent.Almost 70per cent of the game,and our passing,our movement, and the goals were sublime.Valencia may be struggling at the moment,but they are still a huge name in European football,with a team that cost far more to put together than ours did.
We humiliated them on Thursday.Whilst for many this may not be our greatest ever result,on the world stage it is probably our best by a mile.We are now being talked about in places where we weren't even known about before! |  |

Simply the most amazing experience ive ever had following the swans. We schooled one of the biggest names in world football at the Mestalla.
The last few days are what football is all about.
Loved every minute |
We schooled a much bigger name world football history at the Emirates last season. We beat Liverpool at the top of their game in 1982 when they were probably the best club in the world, and beat Man U who were still probably the biggest then a few weeks before. Do those become lesser results now? Valencia are a middling La Liga team. We did not beat them at their height. They do not have Silva and the rest.
Being there or not, this was a great result but the biggest and best in our history, not in the ballpark. Its an astonishing claim. Crystal Palace are currently probably a better team. |  |

Complete bollocks, as I have already said its not the importance of the match its what it represents and that result will have a bigger effect than any game 30 yrs ago. | |

I said before the match that I was far more concerned about the Palace game than the Valencia one.
But the more I thought about it the more I realised that in 10 years time nobody will even remember the Palace game - win, lose or draw - but we'll be boring future jacks with the tale of how we stuffed Valencia away for many decades to come!
Still buzzing  |  | | |

So basically nobody but us Jacks will care in ten years time? 
It's a cracking result but comes nowhere near the all time list. If Valencia weren't a shadow of their former selves then maybe things would be different. |  |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

Fair enough you're entitled to your opinion.
Fact is we may never play in Europe again after this season. The last 2 days have provided memories of a lifetime.
Simply unbelievable trip. |  |

Now that is true. Even in 30 years time, as long as Valencia haven't totally collapsed of course. Just like I'm boring you with thrashing a truly great Liverpool team in 1982 now. Nobody will remember that Liverpool were great and Valencia were absolute s**t. | |

Sitting outside the bars of Valencia having a jar in sunny 29' weather chatting with good friends and old friends all saying the same thing we can't believe we are waiting for our team to play in a european cup game in Spain.Then walking about 1/2 mile to the ground in our hundreds singing.Turning that corner and then seeing this monster stadium with about 1,000 Jacks outside drinking,singing and dancing.Climbing the steps to the very top of the stadium and watching Swansea CIty FC stuff Valencia FC 0-3 With Huw Jenkins, JVS and Co waving and singing with us all with a beautiful sun setting across Valencian hills....Best Biggest and the one game I will always remember it until I shuffle off this earth
Amazing day and an amazing road trip you had to be there... if you didn't go you must be gutted I don't care what you say  |  |

Sounds like a lovely short holiday, with Swans football as an added extra. No offence ..really.
But sunshine/beer/fellow fans must have been fantastic, and I wish I had been there.
I,ve been on fantastic football trips with the Swans in the past, and at that time the results were magnificent.
But the most important game has to be Hull at a wet and cold Vetch. We were in danger of drifting into oblivion on that day, there possibly would be no Prem/Europe games and we all could be watching Ragged School as result if we had lost that day.
Thursday was a cracking result, but never as a club.....the most important or biggest game. |  | | |

This thread I think has helped establish a plausible definition of a big game.
Which is one that is big to fans who went AND fans who didn't.
Also a cracking/brilliant/exciting/(insert adjective) trip and a big game are two different things. |  |

From the perspective of prestige and status,this game was extremely important in our history and has elevated how we are presently perceived on the world stage. The rewards are intangible and nothing can take that win away.hopefully,there ll be more to come soon.
The Forest playoff was really important for us as was mentioned,without that we prob would nt be having this conversation now.
Well done to those who made it out there. |  |

Strange that all the people that went say it was the biggest best...etc
The ones that didn't go say it wasn't the biggest best...etc
But the ones who went to Valencia also witnessed the Hull,Reading,Forest...etc games
So 3 sides to every story

Does it matter? Jeez I used to dream one day of this impossible scenario whilst huddling on the North Bank watching us against Walsall on our way back down to the fourth division.
I always wanted us to somehow miraculously manage to get back to division two (lofty ambitions eh?) and hope that we stayed there. What's happened has blown my mind side apart and if we get to the stage in a couple of years where we're getting home crowds of 30k and still in the top half of the PL I couldn't give a sh*t where the f*cking fans have come from. Our Danish fans are f*cking brilliant and know their football (unlike the Korean Ki worshiper s who we've lost but they've just been replaced with an army of Spanish fans who saw us destroy Valencia on their own patch).
We've got to be a bit mature about this and embrace it, as there were only 1500 or so in the ground for that Walsall game. Isn't this EVERY small clubs' dream? I think it is and WE'RE f*cking living it  |  |

How is it pathetic if it's true you're actually agreeing with me.
We've gained many new fans over the last few years through our success and if it ever went pear shaped we'd lose many too.
It's the nature of the game. | |

Eh excuse me but have I complained about where the new fans have come from and why then?
My response was a reply to 1983 who is clearly talking shit. | |
