FA Cup ... I can't do it, not Swansea

My Road to Wembley continued at the weekend the team, I should have been supporting (Swansea City) won the game and are in the hat for the next round, but I was shouting for their opponents Brentford. I have explained in my previous post there was no way under the sun I would hitch up to their wagon train, Swansea that is as they are our f***ing rivals my team being Cardiff City.

Yes, this is a virtual road to the FA Cup final but I have some principles and only two teams I will not follow in the competition, any. The team mentioned and Manchester United for historic reason Swansea just out of football hate and United from when I was a kid. I have transferred my support a few times from United but never for Swansea and yes, am I that petty.

I watched the game live on BBC Wales and it was depressing and was asked what it Swansea and United were drawn together in tonight’s Quarter Final draw? Well I would wait for the winners to be decided, and follow whomever they play next what if both were to reach the final! Well game over and the only time my route would end prematurely in over 40 years of playing this game.

There were some good games this weekend I am mainly thinking about the Newport v Man City game. It is what the FA Cup is about in my book with passionate fans supporting their club and making their bank manager happy.
