| Swansea City v Cardiff City : Matchday Thread Cardiff fans surface 😂 09:20 - Mar 15 with 16619 views | NotLoyal |
We thought an extra few days leading up to Cardiff City’s least important fixture of the season would give everyone enough time to used this boring and insignificant championship game.
 
This fixture is so not a thing it’s a non thing with added non thingness. The game Cardiff can’t win, no matter how hard they try has become a non event in their own minds, and those supporters who still follow that team. It’s odd, because had they had the slightest bit of success we have no doubt it would be the most important game of the season for them. Strange psyche’.
We have heard of the big fixture against Bristol City, which is never a big fixture, they just pretend it is so when they lose to the swans they can give the impression this game doesn’t really matter that much. But the scruffs are not fooling us. Their amateur dramatic books reference this fixture more than any other, the fantasists from east Wales where theIr support for their team is matched, or even bigger for Swansea is another problem for them. Their once solid areas of support pre 1950 have crumbled with a new vibrant and young support, far outdoing the baldy fraternity of sixty plus year olds, smelling of stale beer and talking about 1927 and a game against Real Madrid. This Matchday thread will show everyone just who is Wales premier football team, facts and stats and all.
Swansea City record against Cardiff
First off the initial question to impose any superiority on another side, who has won the most games ?
Games won: 29
Games drawn: 18
Games lost: 22
Swansea City as expected lead this table which includes Autoglass trophy, Freight Rover trophy, Sherpa vans trophy, FA cup and league games. If you remove all the cup ties the swans still come out on top. Done. 1-0 the Jacks
Premier league record
Cardiff City have played two seasons in the premier league. They were relegated both times. Over 78 league games they won 17 and lost 46, they drew only 15. Cardiff lost in a major trophy final in 2012. Oh dear.
Swansea City, the first Welsh side to play in the premier league have played seven straight seasons. Playing 266 games they won 82 and drew 66. Highest finish was 8th winning a major trophy at Wembley.
The all time premier league table shows Swansea City in 28th and Cardiff at 44th out of 49 clubs to have played in the premier league. Oh dear. Done 2-0 the Jacks.
28th Swansea City 266 82 66 118 306 383 -77
44th Cardiff City 76 17 13 46 66 143 -77
So, in the top division in English football, the swans canter home well ahead. So how about major European competitions this century that people who are alive can remember, not dead ones ?
Okay dead ones as well.
1927 FA Cup Final Winners Cardiff City In front of the smallest ever crowd at Wembley stadium, boosted by thousands of swans fans supporting a welsh team on the day. It wasn’t until 1981 that a lower attendance was recorded. We only mention this due to Cardiff City fans desire to mention large supports, which as we will see doesn’t really have any substance.
2013 League Cup Final Winners Swansea City. The swans sold 48,572 tickets for this final having beaten Liverpool and Chelsea over two legs to get to the final. Both are fantastic achievements, however nobody remembers 1927 as much as they don’t remember Barnsley’s two FA Cup final victories a few years before. However when that’s all you have to cling on to then I suppose its a thing.
How about In cup competitions over the last 20 years ? This is when the real test of support is an issue, when fans have to spend their hard earned coin and season tickets are not valid. Those games that are not attractive, the Colchester’s and Notts County’s etc. Well, let’s not even go there, Cardiff City on occasion in recent years haven’t even mustered 2,500 home supporters for some cup games, the swans average in excess of 16,000.
The real truth
But it isn’t about statistics alone, social media is a huge thing these days. It’s where the bright young people talk, communicate and in some cases run their lives. That’s both good and bad, but it is what it is.
Swans Official on the social media Twitter platform have in excess of one million followers via 60k tweets. Very decent.
Cardiff City Official have an admirable 354k ish followers from nearly the same amount of tweets. Hang on ? I thought ... Oh well, a lot of those Cardiff fans are all in their mid sixties now, balding and computer illiterate. Or is it just as we all know the youngsters are the future, soaking up the valley towns and turning them white. We know you know the truth.

 Swansea City will make football history this weekend 19th Mar 2021 11:20It’s the eve of the South Wales derby, the biggest fixture in Welsh football, the hardest ninety minutes of any game these players will be involved in this season both mentally and physically. The coolest minds, the most collective mindsets, the ability of each player, the belief in themselves and the desire to win for a whole city are the qualities required. And Swansea City have them all. In abundance.  0

Last match before the international break, I just hope the players have enough in the tank to get us over this period before the majority can have a rest. If they go out and give everything they have, without the worry of another game in 3 days, hopefully we can make history and do the double. I wouldn't mind Ayew getting a little niggle in the 93rd minute meaning he has to rest for 7 days. |  | | |

I'm pwping more than I usually do as I think this is the first derby in sometime that I think they have a decent chance in doing us over mainly due to our slump coinciding with their 'rise.' Maybe its hyperbole on my side.
Anyways CUM ON EWE JACKS!!! |
I watched them against Watford and they were awful. I thought they were going to get a point - how that would have benefited us . I don’t give a monkeys if they make the playoffs as long as we make the autos. Quite how some were glad Watford beat them mystifies me - especially when the Bournemouth debacle has seen us concede second place by three points |  |

I do think after the international break we will see alot more energy in our performances. Bulk of our players will be getting well earned rest.
Could do with Ayew giving it a miss but he is very proud to play for his country and good on him for that. |  | | |

Having aid that,even to him,it must be obvious.
I d back Whitaker to try to run away from the thug that are Morrison and Flint,2 horrors that will try to intimidate him.Whits needs his teammates to back him. This boy ,if started,will score.Make me a sticky on that.
Any hint Woody getting benched in favour of the Stadium Cat who could be as effective. |  |

Edit.
And as an aside ‘this boy, if started, will score’ is exactly the same type of statement as the one you oddly and hypocritically called me out on yesterday. [Post edited 18 Mar 2021 16:58]

None of you lot saw Cardiff “rinsing” Watford then ?
If you had seen how bad they were you’d change your opinions.As long as we have Bennett , Naughts and Bidwell at the back and leave Smith , Grimes and Fulton in Midfield it’s a done deal for derby delight, I tell thee | |

Are you seriously suggesting that back three?
A right back, a CB a who doesn't have much luck against taller attackers and a left back turned wing back who is league two standard full back! |  |

Naughton is either a red card walking or one who makes "mistake" regularly. Another who should never have been given another contract.
We need balls and strength against Cardiff particularly.
I hope super Steve shows some and picks Cabango and Bennett with 2 full backs Bidwell and Roberts. That is a core . | |

People are simply preparing themselves for a disappointing result Eddie.That's all.No animals are being ritually sorted here.
Nobody IS confident .Some are posting like they are but it's really BS.They know it,we know it.
"positive " posts are nothing of the sort.They are mindless,worthless attempts to make a poster feel he/she is a better more loyal type. All they do is delude themselves.I have seen 12 years of this tide of trash and it's as ludicrous now as it ever was.
I end with this. Somebody took me to task when I "rubbished "legendary Mark Gower-seen as a "great" player-I kid you not. That week coincided with his playing at Anfield in front of the Kop. Magnificent Mark has a really good chance to score by did what was harder and buried the ball into and over most of the Kop. I swear I saw the local hard shyte hawks taking evasive action whenever he looked like shooting,which admittedly was very seldom.
I took a chum,a Liverpool fan at that,to Deepdale to see us after eulogising about our team .Another great,Doris de Fries took aim and brought down their player in the box before most of us has opened our packet of Wine Gums. We didnt win. | |

No offence, but I'm going to block you now. We are all aware performances haven't been great. Theres no need for you and several others to incessantly on every single thread to keep attacking the manager, the players, the coaches, the owners with some absolutely crazy over reactions and analogies.
Its just tiresome. Go for a walk or something. All this can't be good for you. | |
