  1. At least 400 tickets had been sold before the announcement. Imagine you bought a ticket early then found you couldn't make it and then can't sell because of free tickets.
  2. Swansea players pooling together and buying all the tickets for the fans for the final away game at Sunderland.
  3. If that happens Hull are down aren't they? Absolutely, we'd go into the last game stress free, would hate to be playing in a three way split game last game.
  4. Some good thoughts for you, if Swansea and Hull both win next week, we'll be going into the last game with Swansea and Palace on 38 points and Hull on 37. Of course I'm personally hoping Palace and us win next week
  5. Truely amazing story for Newport if scores remain when you look at how far behind they were at the turn of the year.
  6. Swansea 1 Everton 0. It's in our hands now, so hopefully we'll have two games against you guys next year.
  7. Everton pressure now, my heart can't take it
  8. I'm certain Alfie Mawson will have 3 lions on his shirt one day
  9. We could have had 4 goals this half, so unlucky, just hope we don't rue those chances, keep Everton out and we have a great chance of staying up.
  10. I'd have grabbed that with both hands before the game, but feel robbed now due to that penalty.
  11. Congratulations, against Preston too, I remember being at Preston watching Swansea win to gain our first ever promotion to the First Division in 1981, the glorious Toshack years.
  12. Oh and as a general comment from fans of 'bigger' teams, "shit team, shit players", nice. We have some very decent players and when they play as a team can give a game to almost anyone. Yes we're not Chelsea, then again we don't have the money to hoover up all the best players.
  13. Crucified by the media for being American and only given 11 matches to change a squad full of s*** into not-s*** No matter how many times someone tries to argue Bradley was rightly sacked, it will always be bullshit. Should he have been hired in the first place? Now that's a different argument, and that one could be had properly. Sorry, but your showing yourself up as someone without a clue. There was never a backlash against him being American, he could have been a Martian as long as we played decent football. Although his appointment was because the new American owner's wanted an American manager. You said earlier he had a good record in Europe, can you point me out to that, because I read his record, although fairly decent he didn't stand out. Most of his management was in America or for National teams, his league teams were small Scandinavian or French second division (equivalent of 4th division here). If you say he had a great record, then I can imagine you'd welcome Russel Slade, Gary Johnston or Steve Evans appointed as Newcastle's manager. He wasn't a young up and coming manager, could accept a young manager who's been showing great promise but not a ling at the tooth manager who'd never managed at the top level in the league. A lot of the angst was due to the sacking of Guidolin, a manager who did have a top experience and was sacked after a string of bad results against mainly to top teams. In all those games we played well, were never looking out of depth and never thrashed. Then came Bradley and suddenly we were looking shocking, not just losing but letting in 3, 4 or 5 goals every week. Wow, you think he was treated badly!!!!!! I don't blame Bradley, he took his opportunity as any manager would. He started off by telling the World how he had finally arrived in a top league and how he was as good as Klop, Mourhino, etc. Nothing like confidence, then turned us into a team who couldn't defend. Sorry, he was bad, very very bad. Extremely bad. If you can stomach your team being destroyed by someone who didn't know what he was doing, then good for you.
  14. Most Swansea fans are expecting the worse now. Clement got off to a great start but has been baffling for a few weeks now, very very negative when we know we do better when we play positive, we never have been able to defend. Llorente has been injured so he's played Ayew as a lone striker, I can't believe anyone thinks him a striker, let alone a lone one, he can be decent out wide but that's not what we need. Hitting crosses in as if Llorente was there to Ayew is insane. We have a 15 million striker who's only played 3 games, all managers have shunned him so must be something wrong behind the scenes. We had a group of games that we should have gathered the points to see us through and we got 1 point (home to Middlesbro). Pitiful.
  15. If our board sold Siggy for 15m it would be unbelievable, he's worth much much more.
  16. and now a lucky deflected goal for Bournemouth
  17. Not a chance that was a penalty if it's the one I've just seen Absolutely nailed on penalty, he jumped with his hands in the air, if he was a keeper they would be saying he spread himself out well. He made it difficult to get the ball past be making himsef big (by using his arms)
  18. What is it with us and penalties? Handball in the box in front of the ref and no penalty, I give up really do
  19. Courtesy of the thuggish Hull tactics last week, we are fielding a very attacking team. Looks very shit or bust, maybe a good game for the neutral supporter.
  20. As long as Swansea ain't one I didn't mind which 3 went down, but after the dirty job they did on us yesterday I hope Hull fills one of those places.
  21. Tom Huddlestone is a bit of a dirty player, seemed to spend a lot of time accidentally clattering our players, it was his accidental lifting of his knee when jumping that saw him accidentally give Llorente a dead leg and ended his game in the first half.
  22. We were doing quite well at Hull, then lost Rangel and Llorente through injury, with a Centre Half taking Rangel's spot they've targeted his position quite well since. Hope we sort out tactics at half time, struggled towards the end.
  23. 3-2 win phew...... We have to stay up, fight for 90 minutes
