    Yes he predicted we’d batter them at their place too

    They could do as they've only managed to beat us in their last six games and have lost to teams around them. It's a shame they managed to draw with Sheff Wednesday.

    They are certainly in "squeaky bottom" territory and we seem to be heading for a dramatic final day in the Championship.
    I'm sure all the sides are scouring their fixture lists looking for where they can expect to scrape a couple of wins, to this end fixture "gold dust" is probably matches against Rotherham and Cardiff.
    Swampsea and Birmingham have Rotherham to play. Birmingham, Millwall get us. So looks like Birmingham will be happiest while for the rest the "dog eat dog" six pointers are going to be crucial.

    You want Swansea to go on a 3 game winning streak? I posted what I did because the OP has form..

    They really did put their all into their cup final against us didn’t they ( still p*sses me off our team just rolled over for them). Can’t see them going down as they have a healthy gap but it might cause them a few flutters before season ends

    It would be good for them to have a derby against Wrexham though.

    It was a shocking performance down there

    Impossible. They've been the most dominant team in Wales for the last 40 years. They will certainly finish above us.

    Since we were both in the 2nd division in the 1980/81 season (and they won promotion), they've finished above us 25 times, we've finished above them 18 times.

    Swansea finished above us in the league in 2000/01 when we were last in the bottom division. We then enjoyed 9 seasons finishing above them in the league. That changed in 2010/11 when they won promotion and have finished above us in 11 of the last 13 seasons.

    Overall we've finished higher than Swansea 59 times. They've finished above us 37 times.

    In the memory of most of us Swansea spent two years in the old first division under toshack and 7 years in the Premier league when apart from the relegation season they did pretty well even from our malevolent eyes

    And they won the carling Cup

    We went up twice in that time and went straight back down

    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.

    According to statto man

    11 of last 13 seasons has has seen Swansea finish higher than us

    Since 1980 they have had 25 seasons where they have finished higher than us and we have finished higher than them 18 times

    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
