That's like saying in boxing ''he had a cut eye hamper him from the second round on, no wonder he lost''. the fact he had a cut eye was due to his superior opponent.
Valencia were down to 10 men because our slick passing caught them out allowing Bony through on goal leaving their defender feel he had no other choice but to haul him down from behind, rugby style.
playing 10 men isn't easy as everyone condenses the game especially against illustrious opponents (12th in the all time European standings). We stretched them perfectly and in honesty it could have been 6-0 quite easily with a squad that cost a quarter of theirs, and the majority of that on one man - Bony.

Especially When you consider about 10 years ago Valencia were playing In a Final and Jacks were playing Carsile in LDV.
I do not accept any fan saying "yeah but they were down to 10 men" that's just nonsense. I can remeber a game against Reading at Ninian and they got a man sent off early on,we struggled to break em down and only managed a draw. They were probably the better side with only 10 men.
The control and tempo aided by the passing ability had Valencia in trouble and the fact that they got a player sent off only highlights the difference between the two sides.
When DeGuzman scored you could see several areas of the home support were standing up and clapping.
They were not Swansea fans they were just Football fans.
The result speaks volume for the rise in welsh football but to even put it in a category of greatest British victories in Europe shows how deluded the man is.
Any self respecting Swansea fan would denounce this clown.

spot on. Valencia finished 5th last year, pipped to 4th by 1 point. id imagine another top 6 finish this year will be on the cards too, bad start or not.
excellent result and performance.

It was a good win (didn't watch the match, but saw the free-kick) but you're talking bollocks with regards to the cost of the squads.
Valencia
13 Guaita (youth product)
04 Rami (6m)
19 Barragan (1.5m)
22 Mathieu (free)
08 Feghouli (free) (Pabon - 7.5m)
10 Banega (20m)
15 Javi Fuego (free)
18 Guardado (free)
23 Canales (7.5m) (Bernat - youth product)
28 Fede (youth product) (Costa - free)
09 Postiga (2.6m)
Total: 45.1m Euros = £38m
Swansea
01 Vorm (£1.5m)
02 Amat (2.5m)
04 Chico (£2m)
19 Tiendalli (free)
22 Rangel (£100k) (Davies - youth)
09 Michu (£2m) (Shelvey - £5m)
12 Dyer (£0.4M) (Lamah - loan)
20 De Guzman (loan)
21 Canas (free)
24 Pozuelo (undisc. around £0.5m)
10 Bony (£12m)
£26m
Now, considering you're one for stating facts, 25% is not entirely accurate is it? Particularly when Valencia's only big money signing was Banega at 20m Euros, who signed 5 years ago. In any case, decent result for you!
In other news, Leighton James is an fat, ugly, drunk, one-eyed jack b*stard

As mentioned above Valencia are in turmoil atm.
They have sold their best players and are basically disjointed. Fortunately for them the Spanish league is not as strong as some think. After the top 6 the rest are below average compared to those outside the top 6 of the premier. I very much doubt Valencia will get top 6 this season but they wont go down.
