Cardiff beat Wolves - a club who achieved great prominence circa 1954, - Joy Beverley and Billy Wright, the original Posh and Becks!
Swans have flown the flag for Welsh football for the past 7 seasons. Cardiff presumably were 're-grouping' during those years. Somebody above states we're 'just keeping the place warm' for the much anticipated and welcome return of Colin's Sleeping Giants to the top flight. Well 7 years is a long time to keep anything warm. I really wouldn't rush down to Ladbroke's. One thing Swans have in bucket loads is resilience. We'll be fine - again - this season. What we need to do will be done. One thing Cardiff lack badly is bottle - COLIN might well address that, and with your impressive strike force - (that's a genuine compliment - Mendez-Laing looks a real find) this could be your year. But you've done bugger-all yet except win a few games so don't get ahead of yourselves.
I used to come here in the early 2000s - Swans were starting to climb the divisions, we were in League One, Cardiff were already in the Championship a year before us. The talk on here was that Swans were really not competition for Cardiff. Your real competition in size and status was Bristol City. Swans were irrelevant. So it proved but not for the reasons given! Anyway keep knockin' 'em in and don't worry about little old Swansea. We'll be " Wales' Only Premier League Club". For a long while yet.
