He's a good player with a very good engine, can run from box to box all game (sometimes with a ball). Scores the odd goal as well. Not an auto first choice for us any more though, on the bench for most games. EDIT: He did play in 1 Premier league game for Fulham

Kuqi's a nice guy and its a shame it didn't come off for him at Swansea, but come on be serious. I don't think he was good enough for Newcastle at his peak, let alone now.

I was bemused by the signing of Leon Best (no impact in the lower leagues), flabbergasted by the signing of James Perch (couldn't get a regular place in the Forest team) and now I just don't know what to think on Pardew!! If Pardew pulls it off it will be the biggest surprise ever, you can only wish him luck and hope he proves 99% of Toon fans wrong.

The People - Darran Pratley He's currently running down his contract so don't believe the price tag. I presume its a journo filling space though.

I sincerely hope the players don't want to party (just yet) and go all out for the highest point total they can.. there's still the title to win and we could do with a big effort from Newcastle against Blackpool. (pretty please )

well unless peterborough make a fantastical comeback... well done and bloody stay up there this time!!

They look after their own up there, so agree 2 teams to come down, 3 up, then 4 up from League 1 to CCC and 5 from League 2 to 1, with 3 coming in from Conference to League 2.

shows how much you lot know about the lower echelons.... 4 ALREADY get promoted from League 2

Sheff Utd and Middlesbro - both at home

Recent form is worrying CLICK HERE - LAST 8 GAMES Need to pick up..

With respect, no you didn't. Over the past 3 seasons that has to be the most used sentence we've heard from fans of other teams after we outplay them. We attempt to play that way all the time, from the moment Martinez took over the reigns and Sousa plays with a similar philosophy. When we get it right the opposition does not get a look in. Lack of goals is our achilles heel at the moment, if we had some out and out goalscorers we would definately be top 2. Unfortunately we don't have the budget to go out and buy a proven goalscorer and as a team we work within a tight budget, our highest earner will be not more than 10-12K. As a Swansea supporter I'm worried about the vulture's circulating for our best players, Williams, Dyer, Allen, Pratley must already be turning heads. As a Newcastle fan too, I'm worried about the lack of team building for next season, if promoted. Last time round in this posistion, Keegan was building for the Premiership, players such as Cole were leading the way and a team was being built. What happens next year if Newcastle do go up?? Williamson and Routledge I rate that have been recent purchases, Coloccini is a must to keep. I remember Best from our League 1 days when Forest were after him, he chose Coventry instead and hardly pulled trees to to me the jury's still out. Of the rest Jonas and Taylor and maybe Enrique should have the quality. Newcastle MUST either spend a fortune to stay up OR get a first class manager with the tactical nouse (keep away from ours ).

I'll be interested to see how this shit defender does against Rooney when he's playing for his Country in the next European Championship qualifiers.

I FEEL RAPED Ah well typical Swansea, any other week I;d be elated at stealing a point, but as its Swansea..... I FEEL RAPED

erm... no your not, we play this way most weeks, our problem is scoring. It is funny how so many teams reckon they make us look good,

In answer to someone earlier who questioned the difference in wages of the players. Leon Britton is stalling on a new contract, its reportedly the biggest ever offered to a Swansea player at rumoured to be 12K a week. Just shows how inflated Premiership contracts are.

With all our possession we haven't scored and that is normally our problem. We had Scotland and Gomez banging them in this time last season, they were never effectively replaced when martinez took them to Wigan. (Gomez was a loanee in any case). Sousa has tightened us up defensively but we play similar to how we have played for the last 3 years now, possession football. We just miss that quality up front to change the game (not often enough in any case). Whilst its 0-0 you guys are still in with a shout, could be a totally different game second half.

Oh I don't know, as a Swans fan its not too bad

Joe Allen's going to be a massive player for us (for as long as we can keep hold of him). Only 19.

Yopu do realise that in Canada it is being shown about 18-19 hours AFTER the game

Setanta have it in Canada with a delay, not sure how long the delays is though. Edit: It has it on at 1am ET on Sunday morning in Canada. I'm sure that's a great help! Not to him, but for those in Canada it will be. Like me I'm sure we'll all search for a source, the Planet Swans site is not as 'legally aware' as Dave is here. There may even be more legal free or pay sites that appear for on-line streaming nearer the time.

Someone put this link on our board... Pathe News Swansea City v Newcastle united Vintage Footage - 1952 F.A Cup. Anyone here go? CLICK

Here's a link to 1 thread on the most used site CLICK - For Newcastle predictions on Planet Swans, its not as well a marshelled site as this though, so other threads tend to pop up. Its mixed feelings really, there seems to be around 30'ish % for all possibilities. A few seem to think the players were too starstruck for the first half hour at St.James's so we hope for a better showing from the off this time. Colo was exceptional last game so disappointed he's available for this game, more of a chance to get our 1 goal with him not there. Jonas is seen as a danger man, gave Angel Rangel the run around last time, so most expect Tate to continue at right back in Rangel's place. Kuqi's now up front so a little different too, but as the manager likes to change things every game, he may play Pintado. Your lucky that Ferrie Bodde's not back yet, high expectations for him when he returns, which at the moment is looking a month away.
