Why Swansea deserve their shot at the big time

[MYU]

Well, you can't say it wasn't fun. Indeed, unless you're a Reading fan - and I'd accept that your view might be slightly coloured in that case - you can't say it wasn't brilliant entertainment.As the Swansea hordes made their way back down the M4, many of them will still have been rubbing their eyes and shaking their heads, in joyful disbelief that the dream has indeed come true.It has, of course, and the celebrations at tomorrow night's Rod Stewart concert at the Liberty Stadium will confi...

[march56]

pretty sure they cant do that in the premier league. different rules.
besides, i would rather swansea in the prem than cardiff.

[march56]

i would rather anyone in the premier league than the welsh!

3 teams go up they were the 3rd best team. Simples

Well done to them. I agree they play good football and deserved to go up.

I recall reading recently that as they have different rules i.e. no 3rd party ownership rule, that the EPL said that if either they or Cardiff went up they would have to agree to be bound by the English FA, so that would stop them having their appeals heard by a biased Welsh FA.

P.s. one drawback for me though, is that I was quite hoping that QPR would sign Borini from Chelsea, but he may choose to go stay at Swansea now.

On the bright side at least QPR will be playing in Europe now Swansea are in the Premiership!
