  1. 70% possession, 3 times hit the woodwork, twice off the line and the ref gives them a goal, the time when 2-2 appears like a defeat. So to get a lsast minute winner. YES.....
  2. Unbelievable us and Penalties, last time out no penalty when the opposition handled in the box, this week they get a penalty after they handle the ball in our box. Unbelievable, how much damage crap referees do, an no, it never evens itself out.
  3. Believe me, no-one in the stands at Swansea wanted Giggs. I should add when Guidolin was unjustifiably sacked, the majority of fans wanted Clement or Rowett.
  4. His preferred playing style fits right in with us, a number of fans have been fighting his corner for a number of years.
  5. But Americans call "football" "soccer". He's clearly s***. The hatred for Bradley is based on nothing but Trump-esque logic For Swansea fans the hatred was purely on the fact that he didn't know what he was doing. In reality we didn't hate him, just believed he was offered a job that he should not have been, the previous manager having been shafted by the new American board and their desire for an American manager. Yes he had a decent record in the past but he had never managed at a top level and had never experienced anything at a top level. Swansea's success has always been continuity with manager's, Bob was not from the same die, he had no idea how to use the players there and had no idea how to organise a defence.
  6. Allardyce should be sacked imo. But Bradley was awful. And has zero track record. Sam is a busted flush though. Pure complete and utter bullshit. He literally took a team with zero budget to compete for the title against teams with insane budgets (comperatively). Leaving with a win percentage of 52.78% and the team one match from being relegated the season after he left - just to knock home just what a miracle he did there. 45.45% win percentage at Le Havre, on course for promotion when Swansea snapped him up. Made the US a competitive outfit on the world stage - then compare that achievement to what his replacement managed to do (tank the US completely) with a much better pool of players. 54.91% career win percentage - all with teams not expected to do well compared to their opposition. Trump level bullshit from TCD. Bradley is one of the better low budget managers in the world. Yet to see him with a big budget so can't judge him on that. Sounds like someone's arguing the corner for Rafa's replacement if he's goes to Arsenal Anyone who thinks Bradley is as good as Bradley thinks he is is completely
  7. Is that meant to be a compliment? Of course! Considering John Stones isn't that good, I wouldn't say it is. The problem is Stones will get England calls, not because he's the best option, but because of the team he plays for. Which is why England struggles I believe
  8. Future England International I think. Amazing rise through the leagues, played in every division in the last 3 years
  9. Absolutely did not Unless you think defending for your life by blocking shots is deserving of a point. I take it you don't watch the game then, second half we played very well
  10. A lot of our guys think he ought to be crucified instead of Jesus. Apart from losing, the confidence in the second half of the season is going up after the disaster of Bo Didley Bradley, hope that mistake don't send us down.

    It sounds like Rafa sees the player as a squad player who can fill in if we have an injury crisis and promotion is threatened. Barrow doesn't seem to be better than the players we've already got, so a permanent move doesn't make any sense. Swansea, on the other hand, need to replace the player and need a transfer fee. Impasse. We've already signed Luciano Narsingh which I suppose is why we can lose a winger

    Can't you take Dyer too, two for the price of one, bargain.
  13. Bobo Bradley's available. must have been what tipped it there.
  14. Can't see him keeping them up. No, we're lost mate. Hopefully we do stick with Clement for a decent period, 2-3 years at least and we start re-building. Our defence is a shambles, that's where to start. If he does wonders though, he'll be poached. I can see Monk and Leeds passing us, but I know no-one outside of Swansea will believe it, losing Monk was the right decision.
  15. So was the thread title of Notts Forest done on purpose to upset Nottm Forest fans? Just wondering.
  16. just over 42% win ratio. Not too shabby. Play-off position was not good enough for Derby's owner. I couldn't quite recall how good/bad he done but thought it was worse than that to be fair. I think they spent over 25 million on players and the owner expected to be clear at the top.

  18. Giggs ruled out, Coleman not interested as he doesn't want to alianate family in the area (apparantly) and Paul Clement high on the supporters wish list, Rowett looked upon favourably too.
  19. He didn't inherit a good situation at all but he also didn't have them showing any kind of improvement. It's a shame because he is a highly-respectable manager and he'll never be given another chance in the country, while complete and utter s*** like Pardew continue getting looks. Media also treated him like absolute s*** when he started and they seemed to be rooting for his failure. American, no PL experience, says the word "soccer", makes fun of his attire. All pretty pathetic tbh. Regarding his performance, he stepped into a terrible situation, surely worked his bollocks off and didn't get it done, so the sacking while harsh, totally get it. Sorry, but a load of nonsense. We were playing as a team for Guidolin and the results would have come. He was replaced purely because the new American owners wanted an American manager. Bradley was plying his trade in the lower French league's, had never had a job in the top European leagues. When he started he rolled off a list of the top managers in Europe and boldly stated he was as good as them. Then showed he had no idea of who the players were for Swansea as he constantly swapped and changed, put out disjointed teams as we fans watched goal after goal scored against us. It's not his fault, but he should never have been appointed, Guidolin should have been manager when the opponents became easier and we could have gained points and position, instead, Bradley was brought in and wasted any opportunity we had to pull ourselves clear.
  20. When have Swansea ever appointed anyone on the bookies list?
  21. Who do you want? Someone who brings back the style we've lost. I felt sorry for Guidolin, he was shafted, no attempt at strengthening the squad in the summer. Players were available and wanted to come but we made no bids, the owners were too busy sorting out their personal nest eggs. In the end we lost some good players and tried to replace them with last minute bargains with no attempt to improve on last years squad. We started the season weaker and lost every game in a very hard patch of games, where other seasons a bit of luck would see a draw or an unexpected win. We were getting better, never looked out of depth and with just a bit of luck could have snatched a few points. Then Bradley was brought in. When we brought managers in before, the board made sure they had a plan and the guy appointed already knew about every player in the team. Bradley seemed to know nothing, continuously chopping and changing, not knowing the best formation, mixing a blend of players on the pitch with disaster all over it. The West Ham game a perfect example, at home against a relegation rival and picks a team with 9 defensive players in it! Almost every game the players picked were inappropriate for the opposition. He should never have been appointed. For the first time ever a fans poll has the majority at 82% predicting relegation. I have zero coinfidence that the guys in charge will make the right decision.
  22. Madness is they gave him a 3 year contract, a year more than they gave Guidolin who was 10 times the manager and saved us the previous year.
  23. Believe me we'd take that lol.... Think worse, much much worse, then it will be closer to what we will end up with. At least Pardew has a record of some initial success. Stop right now, that's the talk of a battered wife taking the husband back for one more chance. Don't even think about it, you're selling your soul to the devil if you do. Believe me, I would not want him, but he would no doubt be better than what our board will get in.
  24. He seems to think its because of his accent, we seem to think its because of his 3 or 4 goals against every game.
