| Our record versus Cardiff.....the eternal debate 16:56 - Apr 21 with 9303 views | JJJack |
Someone on FB posted a link that 31yrs ago today we beat Cardiff 3-2 in a Division 2 relegation battle which just happened to be on Easter Saturday in front of 10,275 (yeah right!) at the Vetch. I was born in 1971 and have always been baffled by Cardiff fans' claims to be the bigger/better club. In my entire lifetime they have had , perhaps two periods (1970s and 2003-10) where they were continuously more successful than us ......and , er, that's it!
So the other 30 odd years they've either been as good or often, worse, hence my bemusement at their claims over the years.
I thought I'd look up the records as I "feel" like we've usually got the better of them in head-to-heads. Since they thumped us 5-0 in 1965 (hats off), we then didn't play them until 1980 (excluding Welsh Cups) . 1980- to date, this is our record in all comps:
P 45 W 19 D 13 L 13 F 59 A 45
Not even much doubt is there really.....that's the last 50yrs worth of H-2-Hs!!

We don't need to win any FA cup 100 years ago, or lose over 2 legs to Real Madrid to show how massive a club we are. We are who we are, we are pissing all over them and they know it. There is no debate. |
This is my thoughts too , They are so far behind its laughable of them to even mention us as rivals . |  | | |

And I'll say it again, the referee was wearing a Dickie Bow. Totally irrelevant and laughable, and it's all they'll ever have. |
Really? |  |

Really? |
...and what looks suspiciously like a smoking jacket. Keystone cops highlights were posted here last week (you tube I think)
To think that they are clinging hopelessly to that as their greatest ever achievement and trying to project it as anything even remotely worthwhile in today's terms. It's beyond ridiculous, but then again so is the whole maladjusted and deluded circus of a club. |  |

Bristol City are their true rivals...
well they are now and in the same league. Though I think momentum is now with Bristol, i wouldn't be surprised if they made the next step as well. |  |
| Swansea City-Officially the best football team in Wales-FACT |

With a redeveloped stadium and that momentum behind them I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Bristol City join us at some point.
Always wonder how Bristol (and indeed Sheffield) would do if they were one club cities. |  |

Swansea's record isn't good at all when you look back 100 years or even 50 years. The same with kardiff. The both clubs aren't historically big clubs, both can attract decent followings in good times and both got fickle fans.....who will disappear when the going gets tough. |  |

Yesterday - Swansea
Today Bristol City
Tomorrow - Newport
Then - Bristol Rovers/Wrexham
Their rivalry is going to stretch far and wide until it reaches its rightful place just up the road in Merthyr. | |

I would say Forest Green, but of course the last time they played they lost. |  |
