But fook me, the Swans are putting up some fight to stay in the top flight.
6 weeks ago I was convinced they were doomed, and hoping it was the start of a free fall. With any luck, they’ll get dragged back in, but let’s be fair, 10/10 for battling qualities.
Anyone know if their "fans" still want their club back? Or are they happy again?
Yeah I was convinced they were going down.
It will be interesting what happens in the summer there whatever league they are in.
They needed players like Bony out. Hes now long term injured on high wages along with Fer.
Long term theyve got a lot of problems and the fall is coming unless their owners get bought out.
Yes, their 10-0-0 formation to stop teams playing, then get a bit of luck at the other end is working a treat. Leicester should have beaten them, Burnley probably as well. Arsenal gifted them the game while Liverpool thought they just had to turn up. Let's not forget they sent their first team to a fortunate draw at Notts County.Quote:

Beating Arsneal , Liverpool is no mean achievement, they are constantly being hammered on here , but hey they went up and stayed up ,a few lessons to be learned ,and well done for this recovery its been impressive .
Credit where credit is due.Quote:

However, they are hardly out of the mire and it would only take a couple of results for them to be in a difficult position again.
The relegation dog fight , this year, looks to include about half of the Premiership. However, based on current circumstances Huddersfield and WBA look like they have a lot to do. Brighton are looking vulnerable as are Stoke but all to play for. Certainly far more interesting to the neutral than Man City and their amble to the title.
I hope they go down, but Ive bet a fair whack on them to stay up. I’ve done this for a few years and it has so far paid for my season ticket.⚽️
I don’t mind them staying up if we can get up too. I’ve really missed the buzz of the derby game.
Try to sound less bitter Eric. Two huge wins against Liverpool and Arsenal and 6 points on the board. Whether those wins were ugly or lucky is a moot point, Swansea are 15th and still in the cup.Quote:

I was one who said their choice of manager seemed ok when everyone laughed..
He is a good manager. Was having a below average season with Sheffield but his record has been decent over the last 2/3 seasons.Quote:

Of more interest could be if he's allowed to sign his own players cause that was a reason given in his getting the sack at Wednesday. The new manager bounce won't work for ever. They are going to have to trust a managers transfer policy eventually. Last thing I will say he was pretty unlucky with injuries at Wednesday this season.Quote:

Injuries I think this season. A lack of cutting edge the last 2. Could play teams off the park sometimes but not finish them off.Quote:

I find it more jarring when a city fan refers to Man City as "City".........which the presenter of "Blakey's Bootroom" did when we played them in the cup.Quote:

BTW, I quite regularly hear and read Swnasea fans refering to us as the "Redbirds" ...... does that count ? :ayatollah:
When you can count up to 6 with one hand yes it does.Quote:
