The better side loses the Welsh Derby

[A Quiet Monkfish]

Not the better side on the day, the thing that matters, but how can be deny that they're the better side overall?

We won the game because Ayew allowed Flint free-reign in the box early on and then we played with 3 giants at CB and a back 7 which ended up being a back 8. And not the Atletico Madrid back 8 where they're disciplined/hungry defensively but skillful on the ball as well because we weren't good on the ball today.

It's not like we're facing opposition who have much bigger budgets either.

We were playing a side that has played three away games on the bounce and two games before that went to 96 minutes. We looked like the more tired side.

It was a great battling performance by City, but 3rd versus 8th isn't a huge gulf, but in footballing terms it is. I think tonight a lot of folk have been posting on a wave of adrenalin [and other stuff], and are rightly enjoying our victory along with the players. However, we're poor - very poor - in footballing terms. We've got players who will out-perform many in terms of effort and commitment and discipline. But we still can't pass the ball, or show any movement off the ball as this jeopardizes the rigid 'system' we play to. It's time for a change.

Once dubbed as the nation’s favourite second team, Swansea fans are really starting to get a reputation online as a bitter old bunch.
It’s great to see the wheels coming off.

..the frame of the goal...just means his header was off target..like all but one of their efforts

Sort yourself out

[Dave Blue]

Our promotion rivals’ message boards don’t seem to like the Swans. On one, I think it was Brentford, it announced Cheats 0 Football 1. Couldn’t help but smile.

[stan butler]

That’s a good post.

But, you’ve posted long enough on here to know your well thought out honest opinion is unacceptable, if it doesn’t fit the narrative of some of the clueless, deluded regulars.

Keep posting your opinions, they’re well worth reading, regardless if I disagree with you or not.

That’s what a football messageboard is for.

Don’t let these extras from the Jeremy Kyle audience, get to you!

My opinion is your a cock and i'll keep posting that opinion
Loser

Hitting the post gets you the same as if you hit it wide. I don't get the we lost " But we hit the post " moans. What do they want a goal or bonus point

Swansea 0 Cardiff 1

[stan butler]

At least that explains some of the nonsense you post on here.

Dirty swansea b#stard.
Your capitol won get over it.

[Optimistic Nick]

Sorry, Steph. Nick should have called it the caravan park. I know you're upset you lost 1-0 but I'm f ucking buzzing.

Pity you quoted him - I've got him on ignore so I don't normally have to see what he says.

[WJ99mobile]

Has any of the pundits actually watched Swansea this season?

I keep hearing them get called a neat passing side - they’ve been quite lucky all season and every time I’ve watched they were a hard working side and got lucky. Effectively they’re a crap championship club doing well.

Steph, a corner is when the ball is placed in the little quadrant in the corner of the pitch and kicked to a team mate.

A throw in, is when the ball goes out of play, either side of the pitch, then a player picks the ball up with two hands, positions it behind his head and endeavours to throw it, in one motion, to a team mate.

Now I've explained this, can you see that you were not watching the same game as the rest of us, as we scored from a long throw in and not from a corner.

PS:---- It wasn't that good a free kick from Hourihane either, plus if we had a cheating, diving centre forward (like your players), your keeper would have had an early bath.

They were just too silky smooth for me. Was like football porn, just didn't let me finish.

That site is comical, run by the far right too so absolutely clueless

[bobh]

No question about the Swansea effort but plenty of questions about what type of football McCarthy will deliver over the rest of the season and indeed next. Personally I would rather be on the losing side than the winning side if it means watching anti football at such a high level. That’s what we saw today, an awful Cardiff side against a silky smooth swans game plan that they only have themes,view to blame for not imposing. Everything was right, but the ball just wouldn’t go in. Days like these do happen. And in derby games they happen a lot.

You’re always one of the most reasoned and best posters on here.

Don’t let the bullying attitude of some of the six fingered half wits get to you!

A bit of an insult to your fellow jacks

We had two midfielders in defence and they still couldn't score
