    Impressed by the Swans last night.

    Despite their off-field issues / threadbare squad, they played well against Norwich last night with James being a stand-out performer.

    The game was very entertaining from a neutral's point of view.

    Pity they had to lose to a wonder strike by Buendia.

    Come on, have some compassion. They would be willing us to win.

    Too good to go down another level.

    Stats being shown during game last night had them top for passes backwards and sideways, yet bottom for long passes into final third.

    Routledge & Dyer put in good shifts despite apparently wanting moves away back in January.

    I thought it was boring as feck. Tippy tappy football at its worst with no cutting edge.

    Keeping on losing possession of the ball is better?

    I suppose hoofball and immediate turnover and extremely low possession stats are less boring.

    What is better and more entertaining is scoring more goals than the opposition and winning games.

    We finished 2nd and got promoted.

    They are 14th.

    So yeah if thats your definition of our style then yes.

    Our side last year smashes them with probaby 30% possession.

    "The Swans"... hmmm. Do they refer to us on their forum as "The Bluebirds", I'd be surprised if they did?

    Prefer to show them some respect. Life's too short.

    If fans on their forum refer to Cardiff or its fans in a disrespectful way then that's up to them.

    It's a very affectionate description. Swansea or the Jacks but not that.

    My apologies ... it'll be the 'Jacks' from now on, although why isn't that 'affectionate'?

    Why are we even discussing them? Burnley or Southampton are way more relevant.
