We got to two cup finals but lost both

Finishing higher in the league format without actually winning anything is a pretty generous accolade

Whichever way you want to look at it that lot have been the most successful south wales side in the last 40 years

To argue otherwise is churlish and embarrassing

Absolutely. Apart from some tooing and froing in the 90s, we had the upper hand in the 2000s while they struggled, then while we floundered in trying to win promotion to the Premier League, they managed it in 3 seasons. Even for our successes in Europe, their win at Valencia is probably the biggest win by a Welsh team ever in Europe.

One could almost say they've been a better run club as well, until recently and the Yanks took over.

How many Welsh players in their team ?

Just asking, like ?

Yes

I would take a certain pleasure from it.

Any rational adult would also recognise that it'd be a bit spiteful and infantile to do so.

Not sure, but I might start Praying for this just in case there is, I would even go to church every Sunday until the end of the season and give up beer if that would help him help us!

Plus they got the easiest fixtures imagineable left. Apart from norwich even being 15th every team they playing is below them.

I think that is a bit of a loose determiner but in recent years Swansea were in the top flight for 7 seasons , winning a cup

And we were promoted and immediately relegated , twice

I can't stand the jacks but it's a bit silly to argue that we have been a better side than them since 1980 onwards

All nonsense we've finished more time than them in our history, we are back above them now in real time and we've won the proper FA Cup :ayatollah:

**** them love them to get relegated.

Wrexham will be up here in a couple of years anyway.

Me too

Maybe even do a Pompey for a decade and splutter about in league 2

Had we actually turned up against them then they'd be in real danger. Unfortunately I think their derby win is going to be enough to keep them up.

Imagine they stay up by one point, that terrible loss and performance would be even more gutting!

Aye always the biggest club in Wales never in doubt
Finished higher most times - Cardiff
Currently the highest team - Cardiff
Highest attendance records over the years - Cardiff
FA Cup Winners - Cardiff
Closest to relegation - Rat Eaters
Most Rats - Rat Eaters - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-wales-68740410 - https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/w...nning-28932704

In 2023 research by insurance company Direct Line suggested that Swansea had the highest number of rat infestations reported by local councils across Britain, of the 181 authorities which responded to a freedom of information request with useable data.

And an opioid crisis twice as high as the Welsh average. Child abuse rates sky high. Soaring levels of theft. The place is a shit tip and a cancer on the country.

Check this out. Child care kids shifted from Cardiff to Swansea with Swansea politicians, private equity and plod being naughty. Shocker. Sad for the kids.

I'm well aware of this character "jacothenorth" and he's a fruitloop of the highest order, although if you read his "work" regularly it does explain your inane ramblings on here.

He's very much in the mould of "WalesBales" on here (:sherlock:)and a sort of Welsh George Galloway.

I like to indulge in jack bashing as much as the next man, but Jac of the North is a crackpot conspiracy theorist with extremely dodgy views. I'd steer well clear of his ramblings if I were you

Prepare for a backlash!

Years ago, 2006/07 season to be precise, I was one of more than a handful of City fans who, knowing that our season was over, wouldn't have been too bothered if we'd lost at home to Hull in our last home game of the season as it would have relegated Leeds Utd to League 1. There were lots of arguments about this, how dare any City fan not want to win every game!

We lost in the end, relegated Leeds and I saw a few City fans celebrate when Hull scored.

Come on Stoke first result I'll look for after the game!

It’s going to be Blackburn. They’ve got to play Leeds, Wednesday, Cov and Leicester. They’ve got no chance.

A slow lingering death, they've got no players to sell, so it will be next season now :ayatollah:

Still think this?

Sadly despite all the drama it will be the 3 Yorkshire teams everyone predicted at the start of the season.

Rotherham, shef wed and Huddersfield. A few said qpr because of the way they finished but otherwise they were the 3 everyone thought and they are indeed the bottom 3 now despite all the excitement.

You’re right, there is no Yorkshire desert.
