Image purporting to show Swansea from above actually showed... Newport!
As anyone familiar with Skysports will attest to, they love a bit of glamour and glitz. The Murdoch empire has been built on sensationalising anything it's possible to sensationalise, and we've become used to aerial shots of stadiums and prolonged Rocky-esque montages in the build up to showpiece fixtures.
It's a bit of a surprise then, to see that this picture (below) was used in the build up to Sunday's game between Cardiff and Swansea:
Sky Sports' build-up to Cardiff City vs Swansea City was shocking. They seem to think Swansea City play in NEWPORT! pic.twitter.com/gHVeabgaoG

Quite how that one managed to get past the powers that be at Sky I don't know. I mean, most UK residents who actually bother learning about their own country will be able to tell you Swansea has a massive sandy beach - something which is obvious in it's absence in the above photo. As mentioned, the picture in fact shows Newport, which really is quite hard to mistake for Swansea. It's not even the right bloody side of Cardiff!
Skysports? Must do better.
