Bottlification
A term used to describe a team (football – Cardiff City) who consistently fail to gain promotion from the Championship to the Premier League
Term was first used by a member of the Planet Swans forum, a message board run by and for fans of Swansea City Football Club. Swansea were the first Welsh team to gain promotion and play in the Premier League, and at the first attempt. Cardiff City have tried and failed to gain promotion on numerous times.
Utterly stupid short-sighted Swansea Labour politicians allow yet another MacDonalds and effectively scupper plans to expand Liberty Stadium and bring hundreds of new jobs to the city!
Full story of stupidity on a grand scale here
You can’t say Swansea people don’t have a wicked sense of humour. Noah’s Yard is a bar/cafe in the Uplands area of Swansea and this morning they were out there changing the name of the bar to reflect the football game result from yesterday!

Danny Graham struck the winner as Swansea claimed the first major scalp of their maiden Premier League campaign with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Arsenal at the Liberty Stadium.
The Gunners had taken an early lead through captain Robin van Persie but Scott Sinclair levelled from the penalty spot for the hosts.
Nathan Dyer then fired Swansea ahead before Theo Walcott equalised, but Arsenal paid the price for a loss of concentration as Graham ran in to slot his ninth goal of the season less than a minute later.

Tomorrow, Sunday 14 January 2011, is the big day at the Liberty Stadium when Swansea City take on Arsenal. In my mind these are the two best pure footballing teams in Premier League. I’ve followed Arsenal since I was 9, but supported Swansea since I was 13. Tomorrow is the one time I hope the team I support beat the team I follow.
