Name one.(and Mumbles is not wonderful).

Do you have a limit outside the City boundary that you would like to enforce for your judgement.

Wind St is alright, and does the Gower count?! hehe

fking brilliant game today, pulsating doesn't even get near to covering it! Jesus, when Reading hit the post! yikes

Can't believe the Swans have come so far so quickly. They deserve all the credit, football played the right way, no debt, supporters trust. Hats off all round, fully deserved. Brilliant story.

Well played Swansea! clap

Amazing turnaround under Rogers, signed some cracking players and played some of the best football in the championship! Even as a Cardiff lad, well done and good luck in the Prem! thumbup

Brilliant, can't speak today. Was far to easy at 3 nil and hats off to Reading for coming back to make it a cracking game. To top off a superb atmosphere, Big John Hartson was sat in the seat in front of me (great to see him there after all he's been through) and John Toshack was seven seats to the right.
Great scenes at the Severn Bridge toll booths, flags waving out of car windows and horns blasting, almost every car in the mile long queues had a Jack in it. Good times!!

Phew, just about recovered from an absolutely mind-blowing day at Wembley.

What a stadium, what an atmosphere, what a game! As Brendan said pre-match, the performance matters not, it's the result that counts.

Thankfully that was the case as the Swans were not at their best. Sinclair was largely anonymous and lost the ball on numerous occasions, but came away with a hat-trick!

Dyer was dangerous but his end-product was poor.

Rangel was awful, giving the ball away constantly and was done like a kipper by McAnuff.

Dobbie looked a yard off the pace, then suddenly BANG - a great assist and a cracking finish!

Still has not quite sunk in to be honest, the idea that I will be able to pick Dorus as my Times Fantasy Football goalkeeper hehe.

P.S. the rumour is that Borini has signed for Parma....why the hell would he want to do that?! Italy have just lost another ECL place and they finished 12th this season. We are in the Premier League for Pete's sake!

Am hoping the press are just using his disappearance to the Italy U21 squad as a foil for this untruth!!

I think Borini wants back to the land of the pasta. We have one of those at Liverpool as well (Aquilani).

I think the Swansea chairman needs to get his act together, and quick. How many players out of contract?!

There's only three 'big' players out of contract, Dorus, Angel and Pratley. They are all going to be offered new contracts. Pratley refused to sign a contract at the start of the year IIRC. Van der Gunn will move on, not to sure about Orlandi. If Ferrie has achieved a complete recovery, he's one premiership quality player signed up already.
