Quite frankly Mr Jack I think I’ve been fairly generous to Swansea in the preview which I’ll repeat here :
So off we go to Swansea, in another vital match. Here’s the It’s A fix extract from KK 195 :
GAME 28) SUNDAY MARCH 11TH : SWANSEA (AWAY) KO 2PM
The Swans are back in the top flight for the first time since 1983, when they dropped out alongside our very own Manchester City.
No trophies for Swansea and not so recent connections are The Mighty Roy Paul, Vic Gomersall, Bobby Owen, Tommy Hutch and manager John Bond. Spencer Davis was born in Swansea but whether he supports them or manu is unclear, though as an Oxford Don you’d expect the former.
At The Etihad in August on the opening day of our season on a Monday night it was a 4-0 win for the Blues. New boys Swansea played well until Dzeko opened the scoring (57) then debut boy Sergio Aguero (68) made it 2, Silva added the third (71) and Aguero completed the rout (90) with a pearler to cap a fine debut. Best since Trevor F in 1981 at Stoke, probably. Crowd was 46,802 with 2785 Jacks.
This season so far : They’re currently in 14th place with 33 points after 27 games and 5 win 6 draws and 2 losses at home.
In the Carling Cup they lost in the 2nd rd 3-1 at Shrewsbury
In the FA Cup they won 4-2 at Barnsley in the 3rd rd but went out 2-1 at Bolton in the 4th.
Form at Swansea : 3 meetings pre-war with 1 City win and 2 losses. Post war it’s been 3 wins including the 2-0 on our last visit in 1983/84, 1 draw and 3 losses

Comment : Splendid recovery for The Swans from near oblivion a few years ago with the help of ex player Mel Nurse and part ownership of the club by a fans trust. They’re not making a bad job of it in the Prem particularly at home with only two losses so far, but form has waned a little. We know what we must do and a point or preferably three would be good, to improve on our recent poor away form. Danny Graham wants to sock it to us so he’s the man to watch tho’ Vinny’s out for a couple of weeks.
Groundwise : We had a good couple of weeks on the Gower for last year’s holiday. I sussed out the Liberty Stadium, a new ground for City, but it, and the club shop was shut owing to refurbishment! It’s on a big retail park so plenty to do when we visit, and if you get chance to spend time on the Mumbles and the Gower I’d recommend it. Take your brolly and your mack!
Tickets are £35
There’s no parking at the ground so it looks like a park and ride situation.
The Liberty Stadium : Capacity : 20,500 (2000 for City)

WWTWTWshite : Averaged 3,367 in 1991/92, and this season it’s 19,930.
Post Code : SA1 2FA

Regarding the game I stand by my comments. Yes we were poor, and Swansea played well but the point is that if a team wants to win the title then there are times when winning ugly is acceptable.
As for standing in the rain at Carlisle, well we’ve been there too, and all the other places so you should understand our sentiments entirely. Also, with respect, Cardiff as obnoxious neighbours don’t hold a candle to the rags.
Good luck for the rest of the season, we had a nice weekend in South Wales despite the result at the Liberty.
