Can safely say, I'll be attending the game. It's a pretty straight drive for me, about an hour or so, and I'm taking my Swansea fan mate too. If they beat us, he can jump in his Jack-talking brethren's 10 berth caravan by Parc Tawe for the night, because I sure as fuck aren't driving him home. 
(Disclaimer: it's not actually discrimination to call a Swansea fan a 'traveller', it's a Cardiff City taunt more than anything, and Jacks take it well...PC brigade, take note, put your sirens away. )

Why is that?

A noted pub in Swansea is named Swansea Jack, in honour of the dog. A popular nickname for natives of Swansea is "Swansea Jack", and many people believe that this name also stems from the famous dog. Others claim that the derivation is from the nickname given to Swansea's sailors, who had a reputation as skilled and dependable mariners. Another theory is that the coal miners of nearby coalfields called the miners from Swansea "Jacks" because their lunch-boxes were uniquely made of Swansea tin and called Jacks.

Just texted my mate, he said ''how the fuckin ell I suppose to know tha shag?!?!''...yeah, they call each other 'shag' as opposed to 'mate' as well.
Since he was no help, I Googled it, it's to do with the reputation of the Swansea seamen in the 19th century, who were called ''Jack Tars''. Still makes no sense.

Yep. Different physicality entirely.
That's why U21'S is full of players under 21. If they were all good enough they'd all be in the first team.

Seeing as how they can't get from Kenilworth to Nuneaton "on a test run"
Without setting the Fucking thing on fire, I don't have high hopes.

Just a word of warning, to any fellow City fans travelling to the Liberty Stadium, don't start any shit with Swansea fans, please. They'll bury you, seriously.
Nice guys though, and you'll find they love a banter, just take it all in good humour, enjoy the night.

Swansea beating Liverpool today has to be good for our Checkatrade hopes hasn't it.
Less likely to risk players in a lesser game after the first team putting in good performance and less likelihood of a U23 player having the chance of forcing his way into the first team after a good effort from their first team players.
I know a few fans of theirs have been calling for some of their youngsters to be given a chance.
