Doing the double in the same season

Hard to believe it’s never happened before.
Big chance for the jacks this time.
Hope I’m wrong, but don’t think our talent, tactics and fighting qualities are good enough.

Re: Doing the double in the same season

I can’t remember this being talked about so much till this season. Feels like something I would’ve known so dunno if I’ve just somehow missed it being mentioned for two decades or so.

Sure both clubs must’ve beaten each other twice outside the league in a season at some point in the past with English and Welsh cup fixtures in the mix.

We beat them about four times (I think) during one WW2 season.

Possibly, but the record is all about the league double.

I used go care, but all I care about today is that we spent £6m on Tyler durden.

If you include Welsh cup games, there are 3 home and away doubles to be found.

1993/94 - Cardiff City won home and away in the 2-legged Welsh cup semi final. In the league that season, both clubs won at home.
1988/89 - Cardiff City won at home in the Autoglass and away in the League cup. Both league games were draws.
1968/69 - Cardiff City won home and away in the 2-legged Welsh cup semi final.

There have been 2 2-legged league cup ties between the two clubs. Neither side won both fixtures.

Whenever Swansea have won the first league meeting of the season at home, they've never won the reverse fixture in Cardiff.

If we lose, as I fear, I don't think it'll be my statistical research that caused it! :hehe:
