    Our history means we have a fan base worth mentioning. Which will, one day in the future when bates has finally gone, be of great benefit to our future and prolonged success.

    What's so great about being in the Premier League?

    Your fanbase is big yes, but it doesn't help you get promoted does it ?

    If you really need to ask that you are not much of a football fan are you ? Try asking Leeds fans who remember being in the top flight

    not with a sadact chairman negating the benefits of such a large fanbase.

    Either way, what's so great about being in the Premier League? the Premier League is an embarrassing state of affairs.

    You're living in the present means what? Premiership mid table to lower table plodding, hoping to avoid a relegation battle, survival year after year setting yourself a target of 40 points hitting it and feeling what a great season to survive again until you finally go back down? You carry on living in the present and make sure you enjoy it while you can because you are at your peak, there is nowhere for Swansea to go, you're at the top of your game and you have won nothing and will never win anything.

    And the reason they'll never win anything is because of the sorry pathetic state the league is in, which means being in the Premier League isn't all that great unless you get your kicks out of seeing "good" football from other teams coming to visit your stadium. Which in itself is sad and pathetic.

    And you're still going to win the same number of trophies as us = 0. And this is the peak of your club's existence. <laugh>

    And Leeds will I gather ? <laugh> you are so far behind even the mid table premier league clubs that you will never achieve anything more than what the swans are doing now. You are basically a club that are living on past glories and think that you will actually win the premier league should you get promoted.

    The chances of that by the way is very remote as clubs like the swans will take your best players from you, and you have a chairman who will happily sell them on. You are right now at the peak of your limited club, and others can see it very well, shame that deluded Leeds fans cannot.

    Our limitation is temporary, increasingly more temporary as the limitation hurtles towards death at an alarming rate.

    Yours is permanent. We've significantly higher potential.

    Temporary ? You are living a pipe dream, and if you do get promoted you will achieve nothing more than the swans are now. And you can have as much potential as you like, if you don't get to the premier league it means sod all

    Getting to the Premier League means sod all in it's current state so it doesn't really make much difference.

    I'm now at the point where I'm trying to figure out something insulting to say about Swansea, but nothing at all comes to mind since they're such a bland, meaningless, devoid-of-character club.

    Boring stadium, boring drum-banging fans, boring black shorts, boring football, boring manager, boring players, boring non-existent honours list, boring mentality, boring nicknames, boring accent. Boring everything.

    Bore the **** off.

    Yep sums up Leeds very nicely.

    Elland Road - one of the few stadiums left with a big club that has character and proper atmosphere for the big games.
    Fans - don't bang drums, that's just embarrassing.
    Black shorts - we don't have 'em, and our club colours are blue, yellow and white which are a pretty aesthetically pleasing combination unlike your drudgery.
    Football - never boring watching Leeds - just look back over some of our scorelines last season and some of the goals we scored!
    Manager - if you think Warnock's boring, you're a bit ******ed basically.
    Players - well, since we barely have any at the moment, that's hard to judge.
    Honours list - actually does exist unlike yours, and there's a variety of trophies there from England and Europe.
    Mentality - hardly, we're one of the few sets of fans that aren't droning dullards these days.
    Nicknames - hmm, maybe. 'Whites' and 'Peacocks' aren't that good, but still less boring than 'Swans' and 'Jacks'.
    Accent - yours is more sing-song, but ours doesn't sound like cavemen are speaking it. Hard to judge.

    I think overall, we whoop your arses on the 'not being boring' front.

    So you are saying that the swans play boring football <laugh> you will be hard pressed to find pundit who will agree with that. We know the kind of football you play, the kind that we beat hands down ;)

    except when we beat you convincingly at Elland Road. Because you're terrible away from home. There's a strong correlation between good away form and big, loud, passionate away followings.

    You beat us 2-1 hardly convincing is it, but we battered you 3-0 at the liberty, also our away form was better than yours in the championship, which is no surprise as we were the better team.

    We beat you on away form by a single point. You relied heavily on your home form and still do.

    Either way, it's all irrelevant. You're an irrelevant team doing nothing other than providing cannon fodder for the teams at the top.
