Cardiff City's South Wales derby hammering is still raw for most. It is all the more disappointing because the Bluebirds went into Saturday's tie in fine fettle, having won seven of their previous 12 games and shot up the table.
Indeed, the first time this writer stuck his head above the parapet and dared to voice his confidence about Cardiff's chances in the derby, Swansea bulldozed through the Bluebirds' defences and stuck four past them. In doing so, The Swans inflicted their biggest victory over Cardiff since Christmas Eve 1949, when they triumphed 5-1.
Understandably, the mood of the Bluebirds fan base is flat on the floor. Nothing sucks the life out of a club's momentum like a humiliating derby drubbing. There was a tentative positivity about the direction in which Cardiff seemed to be going ahead of the weekend, but they were sent crashing back down to earth with another all-too-predictable derby day capitulation. You can read more about that with this week's fan column.
