Nice to see the Wales online post yet another negative story about the Swans, this time about how are fans are becoming unrealistic!! following on from last weeks revelations of apparent unrest(which by all accounts were actually made back in the summer,so a non-issue nowadays) i cant help but get the feeling that the Anti- Swans Welsh media are cranking up the pressure on the team,manager and fans! As the regular posters probably know, i love a conspiracy theory! but the basis for this latest article from Wales online is totally unfounded! 99.9% of swans fans are totally aware of the difficult job it is to be in the prem league and stay there, the article paints a picture of us fans being unrealistic and of us being ungreatful, something that i think is totally untrue of us. Personally i think whatever chance they get to kick us in the bollocks they will take it! i think last season the welsh media had a major problem slagging us off because Brenden and the National media had such a love-in that it would have been a clear case of sour grapes if the cardiff/welsh media said anything different, they probably spent the whole of last season biting their lip and praying for us to **** up so the negative stories could flow and de-rail our confidence. I cant help but think there is an aganda against the Swans with th Welsh media, if they are reporting things as they see them then surely they are seeing 99% of jacks being realistic and supporting the boys in their efforts on the field?? Bad stories sell papers(apparently) im guessing they will sell a few more in cardiff if there is negative **** to read about the swans, im not a stupid guy and feel there is an undercurrent of jealousy that is starting to bubble over in the capital, they hate the fact we are there and they will do everything to make sure our stay there is as uncomfortable as possible by the looks of it. What the article says to me is nothing but the ****ing obvious! we all know its going to be hard,we all know there are games you target,we all know there is anxiety amongst fams when we need 3pts its just plain daft to write about it and put it in a negative spin IMO. Here are a few snippets for you "It left you wondering what would have happened had victory been eschewed. Would there have been boos? Would there have been those moping around akin to Private Frazer claiming that the Jack Army were as doomed as Dadâs? The fact remains that Swansea will be in a relegation battle this year. And â if they succeed â the year after that, and the year after that. And so on, and so on" Think we know how hard it is going to be, but why cant we acheive what the Stokes,Fulhams and wigans of this world have acheive? ie, solid premiership performances for a number of seasons,while growing steadily off the field? If its one thing swans fans are they are realists, try telling the cardiff fans with their£70m pound debt and dodgy owner to be realistic, not us swans fans who know exactly what life is like is the prem league. While his article does make some fair points, i feel he has treated us with disrespect and that will always sell a few extra copies in the city of cardiff. See what your take is on the article. http://www.walesonline.co.uk/footba...ight-to-premier-league-status-91466-32076761/
Swanee has already posted a thread on this subject called "WALES ONLINE" i will re post the article on his thread
I read it yesterday too and my sentiments were exactly the same as yours. It's the cardiff media - complete trash. We should all avoid buying it. Unless there are chips inside!
What do you expect from a bitter cardiff fan who still has a grudge that we got to the premiership before his team....Its nothing but garbage press from a cardiff paper smarting at our success.....use it to wipe your arse because that's all its good for....
