2-0 down at Palace, and going down.
That means three new north east away trips next season.
Sunderland, Middlesbrough and Hull.
What are the chances they will all be Tuesday night aways?

After putting up a fight for so long, now going down with a fecking whimper
Hull deserve to go down. Fair play to the Jacks they have done their bit when needed. Now we have 3 shit trips..
It's grim up north
Hull's ground in the middle of nowhere with wasteland all around the outside
Absolute dump
Yes, the Jacks came good when they needed to, fair play. OK they had the luck of the draw with their last few fixtures (and Hull's of course) but they made the most of it. I seem to remember one rather important game where we needed to simply to avoid a 6-0 thrashing and ......!
Sunderland becoming a team for one game only this season and beating Hull before falling apart again for Swansea is such a key event.
Can we stick in a bid for Bowen? 20 years old and apart from missing that chance he seemed to fit in with that level of football.
Hull had two teams to face in the bottom 5 in their last three games and from those games they lost both and shipped 6 goals.Quote:

No extra payment on the Marshall transfer for Hull staying up, no additional payment based on appearances (yet). Makes the deal to sell him look worse each day.
It's not just three trips up north for the relegated clubs next season, there's another two with Sheffield United and Bolton coming up and I bet Bradford beat Millwall in the Play Off Final as well.
I concur. Well done to our West Walian cousins.Quote:

That Hull-Sunderland game changed the relegation battle completely. Had Hull won it and gone 5 points clear, Swansea would have been under severe pressure. As it was, they faced Everton in a far more comfortable frame of mind.Quote:

And with that weakening, the prospect of a quick return diminishes.Quote:

Great news didn't want the emotion of two games with the Jacks getting in our way of winning this league next yearQuote:

So much for George Osborne's Northern Powerhouse!

Hull had 70% possession and got thrashed 4 - 0.
Modern football, eh!
Well done for staying up:thumbup:Quote:

Hopefully the teams going up this year will contribute a bit more than the shite that is hull and boro.
Sigurdsson's already left us once and ended up getting splinters in his arse weekly. He's the first name on the teamsheet at Swansea. He deserves a top 6 club but he wants to play, not spend his time on the bench again. Llorente has become an out-and-out Jack - he's enjoying himself. Now that we have PL football again next season, he might well stay.Quote:

Clement was responsible for bringing in Carroll, Olsson, Ayew (J) and Narsingh. Huge improvement on some of the dross brought in by Jenkins. There'll be a riot if Clement is not given major responsibility for new players. This season has been a real frightener. I doubt it'll be repeated in the short term. Thanks for some of the generous comments above.

Of the 20 goals you've scored in the league since Clement came in, 17 of them were either scored by Llorente or Sigurdsson, or came courtesy of a Sigurdsson assist. For all the players you mentioned, they really came to the fore when Llorente was out. Had Llorente been out for the season, Swansea would have gone down.Quote:

What a charming love-in thread with our Jack friends out west :wales:
Hope Sunderland go down again absolutely useless its like did everything they could to make the jacks safe turn up against Hull and roll over against the jacks at home the week after. :facepalm:
I bet you are right.Quote:

Yes, that's a fair assessment. Gonzo was on Radio Wales last night and as usual the pricks didn't probe him. In essence we'll be running the same model under the Americans with perhaps the lease of the stadium acquired.Quote:

The sooner that parasite is out of the club, the better. Hopefully we'll hear more from the Trust's QC on the matter
I took a breif look at planet swans when you were in deep shit and all the talk was about revolt and protests. I had a look when you were doing well and everything was hunky dory.Quote:

Again, hard not to agree with that. I refuse to put another penny directly into the club whilst the previous regime are rewarded for the way they sold the club. Although there is talk that the previous owners are tapping people up to post on their behalf and spin things. I await with interest to see what the Trust's next move is, if there's a case to force a share sale they have to go for it.Quote:

Once we went down and it was clear there were problems, those new fans disappeared. Combine that with the fans who had left a few seasons before and attendances plummeted quite dramatically to the point where Tan could no longer ignore it, unlike when we were in the Premier League and those leaving over his rebrand didn't affect him whatsoever.Quote:
