THE RETURN OF THE SWANSEA SECOND CITY MENTALITY

I love Swansea, I like many Swansea people but you can often spot the chip on the shoulders down West before you’ve seen Port Talbot steelworks.

In the few years gap between playing rivalry with City in the Championship while Swansea played lower league football, the rivalry seemed to fade almost to obscurity … or at least it did in Cardiff save the odd chant of “You Jack B*stard” when an ex-Swan played against us or Trundle had something to say.

But with both clubs now in the Championship, expect it to occur again and we’re off and running already with a Swansea councilor condemning the Wales office for publishing some pics of Cardiff and praising our F.A. Cup Final showing while forgetting to mention Swansea’s promotion or showing any photos of their city in some internal guide.
