Swansea City's Jonathan de Guzman
at 09:44 9 Jun 2014

Noticed that BBC, Wales Online, Evening Post, etc. have all been calling him 'Swansea City's Jonathan de Guzman' when they write about his fitness battle for the game against Spain.

Is that because his loan officially ends on July 1st or something?

A FAN'S VIEW: Safety assured
at 14:30 22 Apr 2014

"AFTER 35 league games we can finally start looking forward to next season, knowing that we will once again be playing in the Premier League."

Read more: http://www.carmarthenjournal.co.uk/FAN-S-VIEW-Safety-assured-Monk-prove-worth/st

Call me a "chronic worrier", but you won't find me saying safety is assured until it actually is. Not inconceivable that we could lose our next 3 games.

I don't think we will, but I think it's really important that the atmosphere generated during the Villa game reflects how vital it is that we continue to get positive results that help us to get over that mathematical finishing line.

How many times have we thought we've done enough to be safe already this season? It ain't over til it's over.

Liberty No.1 for atmosphere
at 10:13 16 Apr 2014

Sorry if a repost, saw it this morning on Twitter — Liberty currently rated #1 for atmosphere in Premier League. Doesn't seem like a conclusive study though.

Also rate #1 on pints and programmes in the PL.

Bwin reveal location of the first Swansea v Cardiff clash of 2013/14...

Funny joke, shame they got the season wrong. The location of the first Swansea v Cardiff clash of 2013/14 was the Cardiff City Stadium on 3rd November 2013. Keep up.

"Swansea shows no respect to Michael Laudrup"
at 11:37 11 Feb 2014

http://www.nj.com/soccer-news/index.ssf/2014/02/swansea_shows_no_respect_to_mi.h

"Unlike Wenger, Laudrup did not receive loyalty from ownership. Apparently, a couple of years in the limelight made Swansea’s management team forget the struggle to get there."

Shouldn't wind me up but it does. Absolutely clueless.

Managerial debut in the South Wales Derby
at 16:37 6 Feb 2014

Other than when Walter Whittaker sent his Town side out to face the Citizens at the Vetch in 1912, have there been any other dugout debuts for the Swans whilst facing those up the road?

A West Ham fan's open letter to the FA
at 10:29 3 Feb 2014

https://www.westhamtillidie.com/posts/2014/02/03/an-open-letter-to-the-fa-on-car

Almost as embarrassing as Chico's play acting. His point seems to be that the FA should be lenient on Carroll because England need him at the World Cup and the Olympic Stadium shouldn't be home to a Championship club.

Lita returns to the Liberty
at 09:24 8 Jan 2014

http://www.bha.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=539799

Doesn't seem to have set the world alight in the Championship and I think I'm right in thinking has never played under Laudrup (although maybe made the bench last season)?

Time to sell/release him and get him off the wage bill? Or is there a good reason to keep hold of players like this and send them out on loan?

Could be a case for playing him against Birmingham/Bristol/Crawley but would rather see Vasquez or Donnelly given a chance for a confidence-boosting goal there personally.

That'll learn him I'm sure.

If we lose Sunday...
at 09:44 9 Nov 2013

...or even draw, will you boo?

EDIT:
Just to clear up the confusion, I'm not condoning booing. Just wanted to get people's opinions on those who do, and maybe an opinion from someone who might be inclined to boo. I just don't understand it myself, but some might say it's their right as they've bought a ticket. Can genuinely see some fans booing on Sunday if we lose, based on what I've read on social media this past week.

Magpies in Europe Book
at 16:00 7 Nov 2013

Noticed this book advertised on some website earlier.

http://www.lulu.com/shop/kev-fletcher/magpies-in-europe/paperback/product-212565

Any ideas if a Swans in Europe book is in the pipeline? A book of just match reports might need a bit of fleshing out (Newcastle have played over 130 games in Europe compared to our current 25), but something like Keith Haynes' season diaries from a couple of years ago could work.

Steven Caulker — Cardiff Captain?
at 14:31 30 Oct 2013

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/8999086/cardiff-city-skipper-steve

How long has Caulker been their captain? Saw him wearing the armband on MOTD but thought that was just because Hudson or Bellamy weren't playing.

Can imagine him being a club captain for someone in the future but but young at 21 isn't he?

Inevitably this chant will be sung by us on Sunday, and I think it's almost inevitable that the reply will come:

He's not even Welsh,
He's not even Welsh,
Ashley Williams,
He's not even Welsh

What's our response?

A Vetch to be Proud of

Just found this image from 1980(?) online, can anyone shed any light as to what happened with this scheme, and why the expansion didn't go ahead? (I wasn't born until 1987).
