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" 😂😂😂😂😂
 
Recall being by the pool in hotel in Gambia the year we went up under Brenda. Pool attendant saw my swans towel and in his thick African accent shouted " c mon the jacks". I shit you not, my mrs choked on her pina colada.
 
Also in Africa, drinking in a bar with two of Michu s school friends

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