f*** off is there, or has there ever been, a "Swansea way" ffs. f***ing sick of that term applying to any number of clubs. The "Swansea Way" came in when we were in League One, Kenny Jackett was the manager who got us promoted from League Two and Martinez was his team Captain. Martinez and Jackett had a falling out over the style of play, Martinez wanted the team to play possession football and Jackett preferred a more direct approach. Rumour had it that Martinez used to conduct extra training on maintaining possession, a number of players, including Britton bought into it. This led to a falling out between Martinez and Jackett and brought about Martinez leaving and ending up at Chester. Later that season Jackett quit and Martinez was brought in, he lifted the club from mid table to just missing the play-off's, we needed to win the last game and we lost something like 6-4 against Blackpool, who went up through the play-off's that year. The following year we played possession attacking football, something Martinez was good at but defending was not our highlight. It was something unusual in League One which is why it became known as the Swansea way and we won the League. We maintained that way, each following manager added something, Sousa added a defence, Rogers combined it all and Laudrup gave us that bit a flair. It stopped when Monk took over, the first year with Monk he continued what Laudrup started and we finished our best position in the Premier League. The next season he changed the way we played and basically the rot started there. Guidolin should never have been sacked, Bo Bradley was a joke and Clement had his feet kicked from beneath him by the summer destruction of our attacking line-up. We are where we are now and most expect relegation and the blame is being pointed generally in the direction of Huw Jenkins the Chairman. The fact the "Swansea way" began while a player you had on the books still plays today, proves it's not really a way, is it?

Imagine how absolutely w*** we've been recently. Then consider that with that one win today we're 15th in the form table over the last six games. Even in the last ten matches where we've lost eight of them, West Brom have only gained as many points as us, and Swansea only one point more. Watford and Southampton have only gained three points more than us. The results have been absolutely awful for seemingly yonks and we're four points away from the top half. Dave, don't bring logic and numbers into the overreactionometer.

He got caught in the eye off their forward, that's why he dropped it. Wrong That's what it looked to me. He split it well before he made contact with anybody.

1-0 win. Dummett to save a pen and Darlow with a last minute bicycle kick. Stranger things have happened. -
It's fine, Johns got his back.

If we'd not lost to Bournemouth, we'd be unbeaten against the bottom 7. Rafa out.
-
Considering how dire the last 10 games have been, we are 4 points behind Watford now

RAFA BENITEZ, RAFAAAA BENITEZ -
Ignore Rafa for a second. We are a newly promoted team with about 3 PL quality players. When Stoke first came to the PL, or West Brom, Blackpool, or Hull, did they sack Pulis, Bruce etc when they lost 5, 6, 7+ games? Burnley got kicked out the PL with Sean Dyche, he brung them back up and look at them now they've manged to buy some PL quality. Stop being so naive and blaming Rafa for the fact the team has very little quality and cutting edge. You look stupid.
