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.Quote:

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

They only hate us, we hate loads of teams.
I think all this business about funding is bollocks. I've never spoken to a single Swansea City fan who thinks along those lines. Indeed, I've never met a single Swansea fan who hates the city of Cardiff, but plenty can't stand Cardiff City.Quote:

Indeed, the Bristol City game has rarely attracted an above-average crowd during the last couple of decades, while any game against Swansea normally attracts the biggest crowd of the season.
They could be ****ed next season if we go down.6 points down.Just like we were with Derby.
