Bragging rights for Swansea

Leon Britton, Joe Allen, Lee Trundle, Catherine Zeta Jones, Keith Allen, Enzo Maccarinelli, John Hartson, Harry Secombe, your team gave us a right good kicking

Only one team wanted the win today and they were not wearing blue. The Swansea players were up for it from the start and they piled on the pressure. After going two up so early it just look to be all over. Credit to the City pulling the two goals back but even then Swansea still looked to want the game more.
Even with Michael Chopra and Peter Whittingham if they were available would have made much of a difference; the game was lost in the first 20 minutes. The first goal by Nathan Dyer was helped by a mistake from City keeper Marshall and the poor marking helping out Darren Pratley with the second. Cardiff somehow managed to fight back and level the game which was a bit of a miracle. Under three minutes it took them to square the game up, Jay Bothroyd split the Swansea defence to fire home, and before the Cardiff fans had a chance to settle it was 2-2 when Mark Hudson managed to head in from a tight angle at the back post.
It looked like Cardiff was going to take the upper hand but the home team stood firm soaked up the pressure and started to turn the pressure around and went in at half time the stronger.
I do not know what the managers said at half time but the home team came out fighting giving Cardiff players little chance to play the ball, maybe Dave Jones told them to settle for the draw or something. Ross McCormack banged a beautiful taken free kick that hit the upright with the Swansea keeper well beaten I just wish it had gone in; it could have changed the game around. It was not long after that at Swansea took the lead when Darren Pratley got his second of the game. After that Swansea never looked out of control of the game has the final whistle got closer you just knew there were no more goals in Cardiff. That the end of the game the Swansea players and fans looked like they had won the war, they had. Let’s just hope Dave Jones was watching and could see what it means, that was what the game meant.
I said it before Swansea wanted the game more while City players never seem to understand what the game means to both set of fans. Cardiff boss Dave Jones needs to take some of the blame for this game, playing down the derby match fever. Yes at the end of the day the game is about three points but this game is about a lot more, you would have thought after last season he would have got that.
He was brought up on Everton/Liverpool derbies if you can call it a derby; it was called the friendly derby. Some players now could face a tough time for Cardiff fans as a backlash to the game. Somehow we are still third in the table but there are nine clubs below Cardiff who are just a win away.

Again, you write like a 3 year old.

Can't you get your father/boyfriend to check your postings before you post these things?

You're right about the result and the way the game went, but you can't write for toffee.

Swin away, boyo ;)
