When everybody knows your name

This article is six years old, so apologies if it's a ferdy, but it makes the point that if you are in the Premier League then your city will be known around the world. There's a link in the article to our match with Arsenal (spoiler, we lost but we showed a lot more spirit than in the last few matches this season). Like mostly everyone else on this board, I don't think we'll be promoted, or deserve to be promoted, but sod that, if we have a 1 in 10 chance of going up then I personally would have taken that at the start of the season. I still think it will be Muff or Brentford.

I’ll never forget getting into a taxi in Cape Town and the driver asking where we were from.

“Swansea”

“Miiicccchhhuuuuuuuu!” Was his response.

Haha! Excellent! Not sure when, maybe 2016 or 2017, I was walking through Madrid Airport wearing a Swans cap and exactly the same happened to me, some guy came towards me, pointed at my cap and shouted "Michuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

It was an astonishing start at QPR and put the dogshatcity back on the map
