Didn't do this when Cardiff survived relegation to League One a few weeks ago. https://t.co/jb5whRYJ3T

Struggling to wish Newport well because they hate us and not struggling to wish Swansea well because we hate them.

There is a thought process at Old Trafford, Anfield etc that they are their club rather then their country. We are in an almost unique position that our country is nearly the size of a big club and therefore concerns are far more linked.....Although we can still have a rivalry I want it to be us getting into Europe and them having a dull midtable season on the premier league, us winning both fixtures.
Davies, Allen, Jazz Richards, Ashley Williams, Taylor? Just a few off the top of my head, true they are no longer there, but they made their Wales breakthroughs at Swansea.
Bottom of the Premiership table for youth development too.
"Great for Welsh football"??

I took on a £50 bet with a Jack Bastard last week. If they stay up my wallet will be £50 lighter
The title was "Good".
There needs to be a lot more done to develop and play young Welsh talent at the Jacks and here - apart from the emergence of Mark Harris it's probably Jazz Richards who has done best out of us and Swansea in recent times - but that doesn't mean as many Welsh teams as possible in the highest league isn't a good thing.
Ben Davies and Joe Allen were the only Wales regulars at the Euros produced by Swansea, Gunter, Ledley and Ramsey were the only ones produced by us
Wayne Hennessey - Wolves
Chris Gunter - Cardiff
Ashley Williams - West Brom
James Chester - Manchester United
Ben Davies - Swansea (and strangely 3 years at Viborg in Denmark)
Neil Taylor - Wrexham
Joe Ledley - Cardiff
Joe Allen - Swansea
Aaron Ramsey - Cardiff
Gareth Bale - Southampton
Hal Robson-Kanu - Reading
At this point I think its unrealistic to expect that the majority of Welsh internationals will be produced by one of Cardiff or Swansea, especially with dual nationality
Will Newport, and now probably Swansea, staying up be good for Welsh football? Probably not. And while I can understand why many don't give a shit about County or the jacks, I'm pleased for Newport. Had they gone out of the league, chances ar, if the WRU had their way, then they'd probably have gone out of existence as well.
Personally, i don't give a flying **** about West 'am, Tottenham (especially having lived in the shit-hole of an area for three years), or any other fackin' London team, Football league or Non League are doing!
I do however car passionate about ANY Welsh team in the English football league system.
I just can't get wound up about the jacks. I remember the the home and away games v Bristol City in the late 60s/early70s. Proper rivalry! So what if some of the more chavvy element of Cewnty fans hate us? I don't hate them. They have always been my 2nd team since the early 70s, when I'd go with my dad to watch them occasionally who City were playing away. Who I like and who I do not like is not and never will be dictated to me by some feckin' pathetic morons.
