Just been over there for a read and in the whole and teenagers aside they're fairly magnanimous. Craccking post from The other Bob Wilson:- "Slightly ashamed to admit I cheered when the jacks scored both their goals, mostly because all of that money has been spent to turn Man United into such a boring side which would send club football in this country backwards if they won a title, but also because Swansea have become a club I admire a lot. I don't think they are quite as attractive to watch under Monk, but they have some great individuals in their ranks (thought Ayew was brilliant) and this looks to be their best squad so far. I'm afraid they are everything we weren't when we had our spell in the Premier League. If Vincent Tan could just make some good appointments with a proper knowledge of the game in the football administration and finance departments and let them get on with things, then I believe our chances of getting back there would improve dramatically, but, from what I hear, he's as "hands on" as he ever was. One other thing, I didn't hear one song from the jacks about us yesterday. One of the reasons I never regard them as our main rivals is that we never sang about them back when I first started following the club, so I didn't have any experience of the Cardiff/Swansea antipathy until a Welsh Cup tie in 1970. However, it was only when league games between the two clubs resumed in 1980 (by which time I'd been supporting City for more than sixteen years) that I genuinely began to realise what the South Wales derby meant. Swansea didn't really matter to us during my formative years supporting Cardiff City, and the reverse is true now, but there will come a time (possibly quite soon) when we'll start playing each other again and, although it looks unlikely when you compare the two squads now, the history of the fixture says we'll do okay when it happens." In fairness he's always been pretty generous towards us. Good read | |
