[MrSwerve]

Blimey, proper rout as the stats show.

Shots 13-3
On target 6-1
Touches in opp. box 28-5
Possession 83%-17%
Passes 711-145

They’re lucky it wasn’t 4+ tbh.

Obafemi's movement throughout the game to avoid offside was brilliant - he is going to score a hat-full any time soon

Fulton is also a really good footballer and Darling looks very high class ....

Very happy indeed

Well done, fully deserved win, up the swans

You fucking crawler. Fuck off to your own

 

[JackSomething]

You f*****g crawler. f**k off to your own

It's one of ours on a wind-up, surely?

It's one of ours on a wind-up, surely?

Probably

Matt Grimes had almost as many passes as Cardiff...

Sky Sports pundits are really singing his praises.

I do think he goes safe a little too much, but he did have a good game today starting with that tackle in the 1st minute.

How am I delusional? I’ve just said how bad we are and what a s**t club we are??

Yes I always want to beat Cardiff, but they are a Welsh club, and I don't like to see Welsh clubs humiliated by anyone. So today, 2-0 will do nicely.

I would like to see Cardiff develop a style and start playing elegant incisive football; except against Swansea, obviously.

Mark Hudson a fountain of emotion…

I’d like them to get relegated.

 

[dickythorpe]

I hate the fact that many I speak to in all parts of Wales only support them because they are the CAPITAL CITY

We prove them wrong many, many times in sport.

 

[Jack2jack]

Nuff said.

 

[JustJack]

I mean what can you say?

Our players just turned up, which by most measures is usually not good enough in a game against your fierce rivals.

They could have played in slippers

I'm going to keep banging this drum because I think it's so important, consistency. Last season it was a good run and feeling like we'd turned a corner and were looking up the table, then we'd have a poor run to follow it. Happened a good few times.

This year we've started poorly, then gone on a good run. Getting spanked at Burnley could have precipitated a collapse, but we've bounced back with 2 wins in a row.

4 of the 5 remaining games before the World Cup are away from home. As someone said earlier, 9 points from 15 would leave us in a great position.
