The difference is that it's the next two games and he talks about Rotherham a six-pointer first, then the next game which is a local derby. As you said about Swansea he was asked about it.

It's important to us, mostly to shut their gobby fans up, but it's their whole season in two games for them, the Manager's sacking probably rides on them getting a win or a loss.

The difference is.....

Yeah, somehow I thought there would be a difference.

Re: The difference between them and us?

Swansea love putting us to the sword

And it's easy to see why

Despite Cardiff being a lot bigger and its catchment area we have failed big time to put clear water between us and them

As for it being their game of the season it's also our game of the season , in terms of intensity and attendance

But Swansea fans are the same as us really . When the game is over the focus switches to the next game wether they are playing Rotherham or we are playing Coventry .

Thanks for that! I’ve just spent the last hour lying in bed listening to pink Floyd. Best laid plans and all that ����

It matters more to them, that's obvious!

And Martin says his team must stop the rot before returning to action in the south Wales derby on 1 April.

Yes after mentioning the derby, which sounds like their priority?

They are building it up already they've got no other team within 80 miles in either direction, other than Newport which they don't play or care about?

Bluebirds more likely to be playing Knewput before long.

And you think that's a good thing?

It didn't feel like a good thing yesterday afternoon and nobody around me in the Ninian Stand seemed to think it was a good thing either.

After repeatedly having our arse handed to us, I naively thought it might matter to us a bit, too...

I was pointing out that the thread is correct, it matters more to them, and there is a difference between them and us, which you didn't think there was.

No, the only good thing to come out of it, is that Russell probably won't get the sack as he's now the messiah that can beat the mighty rivals.

When did I say that?

Read back you implied there was no difference between us.

if that doesn't bring a reaction next time nothing will, they need the same back next season!

I implied that you and Bobsy were making a mountain of molehill with regard to Martin's press conference comments. No more, no less. As a club, and as a fanbase to a slightly lesser degree, I am certain that Swansea City care more about the South Wales derby than Cardiff City do. I don't know why that is, and I don't know why it is now the case when it didn't used to be, but I think it's definitely gone that way. Maybe it's misplaced arrogance of some sort or perhaps it's collective embarrassment, I don't know.

Still, the biggest crowd by a distance last season was the Swansea game and the same is likely to be true this season, so perhaps this message board is not a true reflection of how the fanbase really feels.

I think you implied it wasn't much different, but that's subjective.

The reason is, we are the Capital City and have had much greater funding as a City over the years, they also wanted to be the Capital of Wales, so there is a general hatred.

The other obvious reason is that they don't have any other rivals, other than perhaps Llanelli and Carmarthen on the other side of them, and they will never play them, we have had rivalries with Bristol City, Bristol Rovers, and Newport County in my lifetime, so it's very different really. They only hate us, we hate loads of teams.
