Parallel universe - Swansea football team

I am no football fan, but I am a Swansea girl and all my life the Swans have been bumping along in some lowly division. And now they are holding the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal to draws. I seem to remember stepping into a parallel universe just over 5 years ago when a the USA elected a black president. So I guess that being a parallel universe, I should expect a few things like this to be happening around now.
