Cardiff fans' constant use of the word Capital merely confirms that they are now a Club of little substance.
To make matters worse,they have lost their identity,selling out to a money man from The East.
Their inferiority shines through like a beacon,and has become more evident in recent years.
As Swansea City's status has risen,theirs has fallen off the scale.
We are constantly reminded that they are still the team from the Capital City,and they cling on to this as a drowning sailor clings on to a piece of flotsam.
They use the title in an attempt to give them some sense of importance,to garner some kudos.
It's a kind of cry for help.
"Look at us,you cannot ignore us,we represent the Capital,we demand respect".
Respect is earned,however,and very little of that precious commodity ever seems to go in their direction.
There are many reasons for that,which are well documented.
So basically,when all else fails and they have nothing to shout about,the only thing they can do is to make capital out of being the Capital,and hope that someone is listening.
