Swansea prove they are very much at the races

The Swansea Way investigated for string of atrociou-horse headlines...


Skipping past my absolutely godawful headline-inventery, a photo has just come to light on Twitter showing Swansea's Spanish contingent rocking up at the Cheltenham races - looking fly.


Yes! I do like a "rascal bit of clobber" as someone from Laaaandan would say, and Jose Canas in particular is sporting an outstanding ensemble. A true Mediterranean gent, he went with a brave set of contrasting colours to offset his rustic charms while Jordi Amat just couldn't be bothered really. He looks like someone who'd been made to dress smart, and I do get the impression he's the kind of chap who'd be happy rocking up at a five-star restaurant in swimshorts.

Michu looks like someone plucked him out of an American high school dance, with his cream blazer paired with (by the looks of it) jeans, while Alejandro Pozuelo looks like the heir to a drugs cartel. Good look, that. The undisputed king of natty attire though is Alvaro Vazquez - who told him that his dickie-bow was a necessary addition to his outfit? Don't get me wrong - it definitely adds something - it's just a shame Alvaro hasn't displayed the same confidence on the pitch that he showed when selecting his attire for the races.

Did the music from Reservoir Dogs pop into anyone else's head when they saw that photo...?
