Oh yes. He’ll be a premiership player no doubt.Quote:

You can see his attitude when Benerama missed that sitter and he was dragging him up off the floor
Got smashed into by Cabango and didn't complain, just got back up and worked hard. Good playerQuote:

On another note regarding another thread, can you imagine a plastic getting so much
Relief from a result not involving their "team".
he's got a 16m release.clause in his contact apparently. question will be whether he'll be in the premier League with Brentford even if they do go upQuote:

I've said before that I'm not as bothered about Swansea as most other City fans, but that didn't extend to me being okay about it in the event of them winning last night - I'm very glad the tie ended up like it did because the seven years they spent in the Premier League damaged City and' let's be honest, they were very lucky to get into the Play Offs.
To be fair to the jacks, they gave the side which deserves to win the Play Offs on performances over forty six matches and how they are run a right good game in both legs and went out with credit. Let's hope that City can at least do something similar tonight. Monday was so disappointing - I didn't have any great hopes of us winning, but was expecting a lot better than what we got.
I am by no means a Swansea fan and am completely indifferent as to whether they were promoted or not, but I would imagine that it must have been a pretty nervy time for the Bees toward the end of that game. Imagine if it had gone to extra time and then penalties. I am just grateful that it means it is now definitely impossible for us to meet the Jacks in a play-off final!
Swansea lost with credit last night unlike our loss against Fulham.
Or if Brentford had taken more of their chances, it could easily have been 5 and Swansea would have had no credit. It was only a defensive cock up that got them back into it.Quote:

Most of the others, too.Quote:

They played some good football. It got them nowhere last night. Should have been 5 or 6.
Not strong enoughQuote:

What I saw is Swansea get torn apart, with the Swans lumping long balls into the box all night.Quote:

Yeah. I agree. But I still might be tempted to try him there tonight or maybe NML. Nothing to lose.Quote:

You never know though
