I'm obsessed with Cardiff? Uh, no, I just thought it would be of interest to note that, while Swansea City have had the hardest schedule in the league so far, Swansea's biggest rivals had the easiest one. Do you need a hug or something? [Post edited 3 Oct 2019 19:38]

I think he may pursue a replacement for Fulton. As for Ayew, where do you think his best position is? | |

Then why mention it If it had been any other team you wouldn't have bothered. We are top of the league and yet loads on here are obsessed with our five fingered cousins. Personally I couldn't give a flying fućk about them unless we are playing them. And I'm Swansea born & bred so I've got much more reason than you to feel strongly about them. | |

Bit of an assumption that isn't it? Tummer may well have mentioned which team had had the "easiest" start. Just so happens that it's Cardiff, which is of additional interest to many. | |

Actually, I don't feel strongly about them. I fully admit that. Personally, I hate at least two other clubs in our current league more than Cardiff (Leeds and Stoke). And I hate several PL clubs more than any of them. But I know others on this forum obviously do, so that's why I bothered to mention it. Have a drink or something, please. | |

Flynns first full season. Yoraths first season. Granted we didn't start this well either season. (With Yoraths team we but were ten points clear in a promotion place in Feb, didn't win another game and didn't even make the play-offs) [Post edited 3 Oct 2019 20:04]

I suppose he did say ‘previously’. I was reading that as if it were recent or common. Was the Yorath one the year we beat Northampton away then went to the dogs. I can barely remember that now. It is a good reminder that it’s never done until it’s done though. | |

Yup that's the very one. That's the last game we won that season. | |

Many Swansea born and bred don't support us. Tummer does, fair play. Met him briefly at a Swans game a few years ago. I respect the guy for coming over to watch us. Anyone who has a dig at Cardiff are ok by me, too. | |

Thanks TNT. Please remind me, where did I meet you? Was I with my better half, having a beer during halftime at Old Trafford? | |

Can you tell us where exactly you need to have been born and bred to be a bona fide Swansea supporter and "feel strongly" about Cardiff (whatever that means)? I'm getting a bit worried because I may not qualify. I mean, does it have to be in the town? Or just south of Morriston? Anywhere in the Swansea Valley? I may have been an impostor all these years. | | | |

He’s right though isn’t he? If you aren’t actually connected with the area or the history between the two, you might fall in love with Swansea but it’s not that logical to be overly concerned with Cardiff? Then again I suppose all the plastic Swansea based Scouses ‘hate’ ManYou and vice versa so it isn’t really a surprise. I’m not calling Tummer a plastic at all by the way, just thinking how old non-personal hatreds are absorbed by new people. The likes of Trump and Johnson are relying on the same phenomenon in their scummy shitbag way. Anyway, not an issue at all for me. Anyone who hates those c*nts has my full support on the matter. | |

What? So you think Arsenal fans from this neck of the woods don’t despise Spurs for example as they aren’t from North London? It’s rivalry between two clubs which the supporters will buy into. Was a poor post by GJ but he’s one of the better guys on here so I’m putting it down to him having a bad day or something. | | | |

I’m not quite sure why many on here go out of their way to say how much they don’t care about the Cardiff rivalry. Rivalry is what makes the sport great. As you say, supporters will buy into a rivalry wherever they are from. People who say that, when looking through the tables on a Saturday night, they don’t keep half an eye on where Cardiff are, are lying. | |

Correct. Although being born into this rivalry, growing up with it and having to put up with your club routinely ignored by the so called Welsh national (aka their) media etc etc gives it a more visceral edge undoubtedly. GJ has overreacted though, every swans fan has the right to hate the win f*ckalls since 1927 . It’s a given. And I would have thought that with their filthy shameless wrangling over a transfer fee which they signed up to but now don’t want to pay because the poor guy tragically lost his life - you no longer need even be a Swansea fan to hate them. Just a fan of humanity maybe? | |

No, I’ve said exactly what you have. I’ve just said it’s not very logical. | |

10 games in on 10:37 - Oct 4 with 1161 views | jack247 | As far as I’m concerned, a fan born and bred here, particularly anyone about when we used to play them regularly, not giving a toss about Cardiff is far stranger than an adopted Jack also adopting a dislike for them. We can all pretend they are irrelevant and it’s just another game, but how many of us honestly don’t look out for their result or enjoy it when they lose. | | | |

I was born in Australia, still live here, have never left the country let alone visited Wales, and didn't even follow football 5 years ago, but I hate the scum with a passion. In all sports, they are the team I hate the most. You don't have to be connected to Wales to hate Cardiff. From the moment I discovered they were a team, I disliked them (not sure why), and then I learned more about them and it grew into what it is now. You don't need to be connected to Wales to follow Swansea either. When I decided to support Swansea, I stuck to it, and over time my support grew and grew until today, it's borderline obsessive. Waking up on Wed/Thurs mornings to see the midweek game scores makes me nervous af. | |
