UEFA risks the ire of Swansea fans after saying the Welsh side could enter Europe with an English flag next to their name, writes the Sunday People.

If City beat Bradford in next Sunday’s Capital One Cup final they will return to Europe for the first time since 1991.

But there could be fury in the Valleys, after UEFA said the Liberty Stadium club would be classed as English.

A UEFA spokesman said: “It would be up to the FA if Swansea take a Europa League position instead of an English club. If the FA give it to Swansea they will have an English flag by their name.”

An FA spokesman said: “Swansea would qualify as representatives of the English FA.”

If we had won the league cup last season, this would have happened to us! So don't jump on being pathetic because it's to do with the jacks. This concerns Welsh football as a whole.

Despite the fact I call myself British, I am proud to be Welsh and I believe being called English in Europe is disgusting. We are WELSH teams playing in an English league. Why should we have our nationality stripped because of the league we play in?
