Spot on Uxbridge.
I am convinced those who don't want European football do not travel. | | | |

Wigan won the FA cup and went down, so maybe we shouldn't try it hard in that either, obviously harms your end of season in the league. | |

This is exactly my point. Do people want European football because they want to travel or because they think it will benefit the club in the long term. | | | |

Booby Madeley robbed us against Stoke RFC, awarding a penalty that only Begovic appealed for. Begovic stated in his interview, he appeals for everything when he comes forward! One draw that really should have been a win.
Didn't expect (nor can we ever expect ) to beat Utd/ Tottingham/ Liverpool/ Citey. Those games account for 4 losses in that period of 5 losses and 3 of them were away. Plus we gave it a bloody good go to try and beat them, as you know.
Southampton away, was never going to be an expected win either.
In fact, IMHO, there is no such thing as an expected win for the Swans. We have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory many times before (and vice versa thankfully!!)
Think you trying to justify using those 5 losses as a reason against Euro games is on this occasion, a bit misguided. | |

Didn't Portsmouth go down after winning it as well? | |

Both
I enjoy travelling away with Swans
European football raises the clubs profile ...... I travel a lot with work & believe me not every country classes the Europa league as a distraction. | | | |

Brum won the League Cup and got relegated.
Maybe we shouldn't try in that cup either just in case we get relegated also.
Oh...
Hang on a mo | |

They were runner-up when they went down.
Bobby had the honour of being the first manager in history to win the cup and get relegated. | |

Concentrate on the PL and get knocked out of the cups early by Blackburn and Shrewsbury. Job done | |

Or because all they want is to watch their teams on the telly every week. | |

In those same fixtures (with one N/A, and one to come) this season, our results have been W3 D2 L4. Not exactly a world of difference. [Post edited 14 May 2015 11:29]

It seems to me that teams get relegated depending on how crap they are not what competitions they are playing in. | | | |

Absolutely. If we had won the league cup and were on course to finish 17th it would be a valid argument. Teams don't finish 7th and then get relegated the next season. | | | |

Absolutely I would like us to qualify. Mainly because I couldn't afford to travel out to Malmo or Valencia last time and would love to have that experience.
If it meant a few league positions dropped in 2015/16 so be it. | |

Teams that are relegated seem to fall into the following categories
Board mismanagement/ financial mismanagement ie Blackburn, Fulham ,Bolton, Birmingham, Pompey, 'Ull
Thinking they're too big and good to go down, Newcastle
Teams being promoted and falling to strengthen the squad properly/ buying the wrong type of players, Burnley, Blackpool.
And teams that are just absolutely sh1te at playing football and should consider other sports to play- Crapduff and QPhaha

There was a 9 day gap between the Malmo game and opener against United. The relationship between the two results is weak to say the least.
It's far more reliable to take the context of the competition, from the group stage forwards, as a whole, into account.
Overall - W1, D4, L2
Ahh.. but it's the travel on those terrible 2 hour private chartered flights to Switzerland that kill you, if we take results after away games into consideration..
Away - W1, D3, L0
That's 0 losses after an away game in the Europa League. [Post edited 14 May 2015 12:23]
