FT: CARDIFF CITY 3 - 0 SWANSEA CITY. Match thread

[Father Dougal]

Looks like Sloper Road open after the game and no restrictions. Surprised at that?

• After winning their most recent home league game against Swansea City in September 2023, Cardiff City will be looking to win successive such matches for the first time since December 1985.
• Swansea City have won five of their last seven league games against Cardiff City (D1 L1), scoring 15 goals in total during that time whilst also keeping four clean sheets in the process.
• None of Cardiff’s last 19 home league games played on a weekend (Fri/Sat/Sun) have ended in a draw (W7 L12), since a 1-1 draw with Watford in October 2023.
• Swansea City are winless in the Championship so far in 2025 (D1 L1) and could go winless across their opening three league games of a calendar year outside of the Premier League for the first time since 2004 under Brian Flynn in the fourth tier (first 6).
• With his 90th minute equaliser against West Brom last time out Joe Allen (34y 296d) became Swansea City’s oldest goalscorer in the league since Wayne Routledge in July 2020 (35y 197d v Reading).

Bubble trip so all Swansea fans getting on coaches. No away fans exiting on to Sloper Rd, so no reason to close it.

I'm pretty much the same, and I no longer tweet/retweet/comment/like. I certainly don't pay for a shitty blue tick either!

It's not a blue tick, it's a white tick. Amazes me how many people can't see that.

Actually you're right. Still shitty though!

[Former Labour leader]

City's recent performances have given me hope.
You cannot let me down Bluebirds.

In these cynical, crazy times, your innocence is a light in the darkness.

Oh, they can!

Just gone 1.30am.
I’m loaded on Talisker and didn’t realize the game is at 7.30 my time.

Currently listening to Rat Race by The Specials…with a good finger and a half left.

Got my alarm on but I think it’s futile so in advance come on City beat the Gypo C*nts!!!!

Enjoy the Talisker. It's a great drink. My favourite is Laphroaig though.

[Hilts]

Please a positive attacking Team and I hope we've been working this time on pressing as a team high up the pitch.

I'd go Alnwick Ng Dalaand Goutas O Dowda Chambers Robertson Colwill Ashford Robinson Tanner.

That was my first thought, but I keep coming back to the idea of playing the players in form, and Rinomhota has been very good lately, all credit to him.
Do we need him in the midfield to break up play or do you start him at RB?

Some tough calls today

I think Siopis will probably play alongside Chambers.

The intensity of our press will decide the game. If we start like we did in midweek, then its going to be an oh so familiar story against these.

Need to go at them, be interesting to see if cabango and darling are out as their fans have alluded too, I very much doubt they will be knowing what jacks are like….

Slightly envious of you tbh.
Record it and if we win watch it all with a few cold ones.
Lose, delete it!

[Undercoverinwurzelland]

Hope if Riza's there today the jack fans don't decide to target him.

It would set a new low.

[WJ99mobile]

No place for NG

wonder if it’s due to his temperament

[Undercoverinwurzelland]

They are both fit and in training and will 100% start on Saturday

Yep, spot on.

Darling already dived

[WJ99mobile]

Not sure if it’s me but we look nervy

[Joe Gillis]

O'Dowda do we ever have any luck!
