Get up, dust off and get at them next season - there are 8 more games to play this year (several of which are against teams immediately around us in the table).

Spot on.
Ridiculous, it's one game, and promotion is built in a whole season.
Yes I want to beat them but would take the promotion and lose ten nil twice every time, it means we've had a top season and finished in the top two or won the playoffs, but lost a couple of games to some low-life lower league scruffs.
We've got other rivals they've only got us to look up to and pray then can beat us, don't drop to their level.
I don't know you mate but your comments come across as arrogant, which is my main point. This is the south Wales derby and if our fans don't take it seriously, how can we expect the club, manager and players to take it seriously and put the effort in that it needs? If not we may as well forfeit the games beforehand.
Should we take one game more seriously than another? Afterall every game is only worth 3 points! It's very disingenuous to say manager does not take any competitive game seriously? Same with fans .... judging by your remarks to his comments you are in camp of rather beat swans than get promotion...
I’ll remember the feeling of Chopras goal for the rest of my life. The elation of promotion was gone as soon as the season started and we got spanked almost every match
Exactly mate. Those feelings, the Chopra goal, Youngs goal against Leeds, Turners goal against Liverpool, all the trips to Wembley we'll remember forever, but our 2 seasons in the Prem were not very memorable. Except the 2 nil win at Old Trafford after we were already down.

I said to my son near the end of that game, "this is a very good performance but this Swansea team is probably the worst we've faced in many years" and lots of people around us agreed. So for me it was their performance more than ours that effected the outcome of that game.
This game was also before Ramsey got injured and his ability and experience was making a difference to our game.
The jacks were hurt that day and they simply wanted it much more than we did on Saturday and have done in most derbies for years.

I did wonder how long it would be until I got one of your nasty sarcastic replies with the rolling eyes emoji! And it was your first reply to one of my posts. Now I’ve had two, aren’t I the lucky one.
You need to chill out mate, life’s too short to be as wound up as you must be.
If you read my original reply again you will see that I gave Cardiff credit by saying we gave a very good performance in our home game against the jacks, but you obviously ignored that because it went against your agenda. I also said we were making progress with Ramsey in the team before he got injured, but again that went against your agenda so you chose to ignore that bit too.
Regards me “knocking our club” if posting my opinion on Bulut is doing that then I’m guilty as charged. Guilty of posting my opinion on a Cardiff football forum. Guilty of having a different opinion to you. Get over it mate.
I assume you’re now going to label me a negative poster! Does this mean I’m now on your hitlist for sending out nasty sarcastic posts to? It must be quite long now!
I look forward to your sarcastic reply

What's (quote) 'nasty' and 'sarcastic' about my post and where was the 'insult'...?![]()
Nothing and nowhere is the answer...!![]()
I responded to your original post to disagree with what you wrote (the purpose of a Forum) and asked you a genuine question, which IMHO you didn't really answer...
Now you come on making angry accusations, yet it is me who is (quote again) 'wound up'; and to make it worse, you now have IceBlue fighting your corner...![]()
I'm all for differing opinions but clearly with you it's one-way traffic. I certainly don't have a 'hit-list' (Roathy apart) as I treat every thread/post on its merits...
In my humble opinion, you had a one-eyed 'pop' at the club and its players for a result that whilst being disappointing, is not the only one in a season of 46 games...
Coming as part of that post, your last paragraph is somewhat ironic in itself...! (No emojis just for you)

It’s only worth 3 points like any other league , but it is worth so much more in pride it’s the south wales derby it’s talked about nationally.

Bring back someone who can get those juices flowing again.
I’m still hurting from it even now.

I agree with you both. There is a huge gap between us and the club but that's because we are only "customers" to them.
Unfortunately I can't see anything changing with Tan at the helm. It doesn't look like he's going anywhere soon, certainly not until this Nantes thing is sorted out.

They do not care one bit about us and don’t care about our club either.
They then put out bullshit via their fans spokesperson.
