CleeToonFan 1 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Right, now Swansea are in the playoff final, is it just me who cares massively about Reading winning tomorrow? I really don't want to see an all-Welsh playoff final, or either of them in the Premier League for that matter. Shame Forest haven't gone up either, massive soft spot for them. Anyone else not want a Welsh team in the premier league or is that just me being a wee bit nostalgic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irrelevant Nick KP 0 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I don't mind Swansea. But I don't want Peter Ridsdale in the Prem. So go Reading!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narh, I quite like Swansea to tell the truth, it wouldn't be a complete nightmare with them in, but I can't stand Cardiff in the slightest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Don't have a problem with them being the Prem, much like I've never had a problem with them being in the lower leagues. Â Swansea are a wonderful footballing side to be perfectly honest, based on what I've seen and heard this season. Couldn't care less where they're from.

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Think Cardiff will go up, having the likes of Bellamy in your team for games like this makes all the difference imo. Done his hamstring hasn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I want Reading to do well but I wouldn't say no to a Cardiff-Swansea final, just for the sheer spectacle of it. One of the most intense rivalries in football. Would make for a memorable game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoggeordie 0 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Can't stand reading, such a boring club. Hope it's an all welsh final with Swansea battering Cardiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welsh Magpie 0 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 i live right by swansea so will be great to have a welsh final and nice to get a welsh team in the prem and the added bonus i can go to an away match and only travel down the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 14185 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Swansea finished third so I always have the opinion that the third placed team should go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophyshy 7088 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 If Reading get up it will be yet another excuse for Douggy B to pipe up. Â So anyone but Reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This.  *Although I will make an exception for Torquay if TR is reading.  Thank you Dr K xxx A very good first leg and we're going for it on Friday night  Stevenage beat Accrington Stanley 2-0 in their first game, so the two clubs that finished higher are both losing.  I get what you're saying though. But very often its the last team in that goes up. They seem to have that momentum. (I'm hoping that's right in league Two anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marko 0 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Both Welsh teams have been in the top teir of English football before in their history, because it's called the premiership shouldn't make a bit of difference. Â The only thing that I'm against about Swansea and Cardiff competing in the English football system is that they should be answering to our FA and not the FA of Wales!

Guest alex Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Swansea had a canny side in the early 80s when John Toshack was their manager and Leighton James played for them. That was a long time ago like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob W 0 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 already had the Reading office on the email this morning  they reckon they'll beat Swansea but have a horrible time next season - Madejski won't put in more than a few million (sound familiar??) and that squad has no depth at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loonyTOON 10 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Quite like Shane Long. He's quite a handy little player. Could be worth a punt (not expensive, low wages, 110% work ethic). Â Not sure about the cowboy chewing though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Not sure about the cowboy chewing though I was actually quite impressed with him up here last season although Brock who watches Reading reckons he's gash iirc.
