Thats why talk of weekly hammerings were absurd. We will stick to what we are good at.
There will probably be more than 6 teams better than us though.
I doubt Swansea will be one of them though and Bristol City no chance.
From what i saw of swansea tonight, they don't control the midfield like they could under previous managers, and they were pretty cynical with their fouls. This new bloke has only just started, but they look average to me. If Bristol City had a ruthless streak they's have won that game, even with them being utter shite.

Any others on here have divided loyalties family wise?
That would be a tough one, there’s stuff you can try like LSD or ibogaine that’s been known to bring people to their senses

A tub of glue would do the trick in swansea.

I have wurzel supporting family. Not at all happy. Sounds like the Jacks were pretty shite too. Time wasting from the start of the second half. The Swansea way?

I know it doesn’t have the animosity of either of our games against them but are the jacks/wurzels games bubbles?
Should have been. There was some fighting after the game apparently. Mainly because the police let the Jacks out into the middle of the home fans.
Re: Bristol v Jacks tonight
Our game against Bristol City isn't usually a bubble is it? It wasn't last time I went
Re: Bristol v Jacks tonight
They’ll do well to hold onto Grimes. Class above anyone on that pitch. The RB they signed from Man U looked decent.
Rest was just huff and puff.
Wurzels look they are in for a transitional season.

Is it not anymore? Definitely been on bubble trips there before but I’ve not been there myself for many a year now.
Re: Bristol v Jacks tonight
2300 Swansea fans there last night
That's good support considering the crap start

It wasn't and there was a fair amount of trouble unfortunately

I have family in Swansea and although I wouldn’t say they were avid fans they do have a liking for the Club. And for the numptees who deride the place should get off their arses and have a look around it. It has some beautiful places and parks

Everything went through Grimes yesterday
They will be lost if he goes
Re: Bristol v Jacks tonight
I completely agree
The coastline down west is breathtaking- Caswall Bay - Langland Bay and further.
My first wife divorced me !!
She was from Port Talbot originally
We had two children
She moved to Swansea when they were three years old - that was thirty years ago
My boy grew up in a Swansea school supporting Swansea
He’s been in the Ninian Stand when we played the Jacks and I’ve been in the Swansea end with him and his mates at the Liability Stadium
The Away game for me was sweetest because we were behind the goal when Bellamy hit a screamer on 85 minutes
Mad to think that was ten years ago
Still I’d like to think as our clubs rivalry as football banter
We’re all Welsh at the end of the day 😃👍

Sort of, some of my partner’s family are jacks. They aren’t from Swansea though and they don’t really have that civic chip on the shoulder attitude I’ve found from jacks I know from the city itself. In that sense they’re much like myself as I’m not a Cardiffian either so that second city/capital thing is meaningless to me. They’re proper football people, and sports generally, and aren’t really interested in the banter and are pretty civil - at least to my face! Haha.
So it’s a bit of a weird one, it’s almost like they support some other fairly inoffensive club we share a division with rather than a big rival.
Re: Bristol v Jacks tonight
Luckily no one in my family supports our rivals.
My father is a nominal city fan as Rugby is his sport, but my brothers, nephews and my own kids are all city fans.
As for the game last night.. both teams have some great technically gifted players on the ball and able to run with the ball well... but both teams lacked composure, a cutting edge, gave the ball away and I would say both teams very clumsy. The ref actually had a very good game because it was a pretty dirty and cynical affair.
The Wurzels should have really made more of their chance.

That's a tough gig!
I'd like to think I could sit in a stand with some of my Swansea supporting friends and all get on, with a large dose of banter. But it's a few lunatics that would take things too far.
I recently played in a football tournament in Uganda for the USA in a tournament and the only other British guy on the team was a Jack. We got on great and managed to watch Wales in the euros together.
Yes we hate the jacks but the reality is we probably have more in common with their supporters (maybe not the union jack flying ones) than any other supporters in the championship.
Re: Bristol v Jacks tonight
I completely agree AB
The end of the day it’s PASSION
both sets of supporters being passionately loyal to their respective club
But ultimately we are both Welsh 🏴
That’s pretty cool playing abroad in a tourney ⚽️👍
