  • Today by numbers

    4-0 is our joint worst defeat to Swansea in our history in all competitions. It's the heaviest home defeat we've ever suffered to them in a competitive match and it's the first time we've conceded more than 3 at home to them.

    Michael Chopra scored a last gasp winner against Swansea on April 3rd, 2010. In 4,382 days since those scenes, we've scored 3 goals against them while they have netted 14. During those 10 games, no side has scored twice, which is by far the longest run in the fixture's history. We have won more derby games in Swansea than in Cardiff since Chopra's winner.

    Aden Flint's goal at the Liberty last season is the only goal we've managed against them in 7 games. Over a similar 7 game spell, only our current record against Spurs is worse, where we've not scored in our last 7 against them.

    Today marked the second successive home derby where we've been 1-0 down in the opening few minutes. Since 2008 they've scored 8 goals before the half hour mark, we've managed 1 (Flint).

    It's absolutely shocking how poorly we have done in this fixture since 2008.

    I can’t imagine many other teams in world football having such a poor record in derby games over a similar period

      I think Everton's against Liverpool is pretty dreadful at the moment.

          A Spanish magician tells the audience he will disappear before he could count to 3.

          He says, “Uno, dos...” and then poof... he disappeared without a tres.
