I can live with that.

However if you tell me Tank and Johnny the Brains are actors it will ruin my day.
 
I ****in loves me some statistics. As a member of this board for about a year, I have noticed one particular theme come up time and time again. That is the widely-held belief amongst Cardiff City fans that Swansea City fans are somehow obsessed with the Bluebirds. Some put this down to an inferiority complex. Some say they are just immature idiots. Such claims are difficult to quantify. But what is possible, and what I have done (thanks to having three classes cancelled today) is analyse both the Cardiff board and Swansea board to compare postings. The rationale behind this analysis was to discover how often members were posting on the opposition board.

I decided to look at the most recent 20 threads on both boards. Exclusions include threads that are 'sticky', and the word association thread (cos it's so bloody long).

I will just present the stats, and let you come to your own conclusions. :)

Total number of Bluebirds board posts analysed: 502 (20 threads)
Number of posts on the Bluebirds board by Swans: 74
Average number of posts per Bluebirds thread by Swans: 3.7
Percentage of Swans posts on Bluebirds threads: 14.7%

Total number of Swans board posts analysed: 772 (20 threads)
Number of posts on the Swans board by Bluebirds: 15
Average number of posts per Swans thread by Bluebirds: 0.75
Percentage of Bluebirds posts on Swans threads: 1.94%

To put it another way, Swans are 7.5 times more likely to post on a Bluebirds thread than the reverse.

Discuss! :laugh:

Get a life man <laugh>
 
Well, from my point of view, this board sees more posts about members than it does about football. It seems to be getting a forum for hissy fits and personal jibes rather than good creative banter about football clubs. Only my opinion, but isn't the PM facility the best place to be talking to each other about matters other than what this board was designed for? Let's have some good debate and witty, original banter.
 
Would love nothing better Cling,but you just know full well that Aussie and his sidekicks will always set out to destroy any decent banter between us and the intelligent jax.
 
How soon the Bluebirds 606er's forget who they were before the Pre -Premier league Swans

Is that actually a sentence? It's got me beat.

Cling, accurate and to the point as usual! It would be nice to discuss footy rather than posters. It's a reason we've lost so many 606 stalwarts over the last year. A good crowd enjoying the sunshine.

Just to have a footy break from all the personal jibes, keeping an eye on the 1st division playoffs. The line up for next season will be complete in an hour and a half. A few good youngsters on show.
 
Hi guys,
Quite ironic that I posted on their board yesterday. Popped over to see if they had signed Sigussen? for £7.5mill as I thought that would seem a bit strange given their previous spending, thought Pinnochio Huw had dug deep into his pocket? Well it was rife on their board and then i noticed a thread berating the mighty Bluebirds. No need to worry though because between the bloody lot of them there wasn,t one good point or even a co-ordinated discussion, slag slag slag thats all it was. They seemed to be back slapping each other for just slagging us of. Left a message suggesting that no wonder theres no inward investment into Swansea as a city, if these are the comments of its inhabitants, ( I apoligise to genuine Jack posters) They cant even string a tidy argument /debate together, embarressed to think their Welsh, glad to say their not Bluebirds.
 
come on Ash, you're better than that.

If you're going to respond at least keep it out of the playground... all that was missing is "naa naa na naa naa" <ok>
 
Oh dear, here we go again.

Here's a bl00dy stat for you.

The Leeds Utd Womens Football team want to be seen as equal to the men,
They already are..When both play, there's 11 C*nts on the pitch.

My thoughts exactly clingo - well said mate!
 
you guys have given us plenty of ammo to take the pee hence the large amount of jacks over here recently ,so the statistics about us being obsessed dont really hold up. theres always been a contigent of bluebirds who in their arrogance think they are superior to us,remember that thread ´Bristol City are our real rivals´- haha, be careful what you wish for!
so no surprise that many jacks are now rubbing it in - im not adverse to that myself but im wise enough to know that fortunes will always change and im also with clingo and cartoon in wanting more football related banter, i like to read this forum but the petty squabbles are boring and leave a bad taste.
 
Pity there arnt "large amount of jacks" at your football ground every home match then .

Cardiff will always be superior to you no matter where you are and where we are ,simples.......;o)


Anyways who is this JH imposter then ,not another jack back trick is it????

Don't think so John - he's all over the Swansea board as well - looks like you're getting yourself a few wannabe impersonators! ;)
 
Here here .

am i on the swansea board tho?

Personally I never had a problem with you John, but I know you were hated by some - same as some of ours are hated by some of yours; as for me, this is just a forum and if I don't agree with something I will either reply or ignore it - I certainly wouldn't take it personally.

If it was down to me I would let you back on the jack board - but it seems we already have a JH lite who has taken your place! ;)
 
No worries cartoon-ead not bothered bout your board as its like home from home on the Cardiff board for you guys really ,lol .

Yes seems someone been fiddling about ,last time they tried to erase my account .......nice try so yes in a wierd kinda way it brings a smile to me mush that i still get under certain jacks skins even on my own board ....;O)

People have been persecuted for saying the truth many a time ,my ban was just a sand grain in the dessert ....
