The Swansea City all-time tier list
at 08:22 21 Dec 2020

I've recently become obsessed with tier lists. I love a tier list. You should too. (Who doesn't love tiers right now?) So I thought about compiling an all-time Swans player tier list to determine who is at the top and who is a flop.

For those of you who don't know how a tier list works - firstly, where have you been? - it's simple. Each player is put into a tier that best reflects their contribution to the Swans in their time at the Vetch/Liberty. From the middle of the road in 'BANG AVERAGE' ; 'HEAD SLAPPER' for the worst players to pull on a white shirt and 'YOU JACK BASTARD' being reserved for the best of the best.

Each round I will put forward 4 players; 1 goalkeeper; 1 defender; 1 midfielder; and 1 forward, all from different eras of the Swans history (might be tricky for younger viewers) for you to rank, discuss, debate and (presumably) argue over. General consensus will determine where each player will be placed in the tier list with any contentious decisions to be decided by me (because it's my ball and if I don't play, nobody gets to play.)

I have compiled a list of Swans players from available online sources to include as many as possible and will select players at (sort of) random, so be patient if you're waiting for your favorite (or pet hate) to pop up. Feel free to suggest player(s) to feature in the next round (if we get that far) and I will try to get them in or add them to the list if I've missed them off.

Yes, I attempted this on the other site but I got 1 good response, 1 response from someone who clearly didn't understand the concept and 1 asking questions about semantics, so hopefully more luck of a fun discussion on here...

The tiers are as follows:
1. YOU JACK BASTARD - For the best of the best, club legends
2. First Team Player - played well but that's about it
3. Bang Average - they were just sort of there, nothing special, nothing disasterous
4. Who Are Ya? - if you have to squint at the name and try to remember
5. Head Slapper - for the absolute worst players to pull on a Swans shirt

The first candidates;
GK - Ryan Harrison
DEF - Reuben Agboola
MID - Pablo Hernandez
FWD - Lee Trundle

Go...

The 7 totems of Swansea
at 13:58 15 Jan 2020

Has anybody watched the Netflix series 'You'? It's an excellent series, very suspenseful with intriguing characters and is very well written.

Anyway, in one episode of the 2nd season, the main character learns of the '7 totems of LA', which are semi-unique sights/incidents of LA that, once you see all 7 you become a true Los Angelean and can 'never leave'.

The 7 totems are;
A roller blader in booty shorts
A "ghetto bird" (police helicopter)
Two girl’s in same dress at the same event
A pack of coyotes
A dog in a stroller
An off brand super hero
A palm tree on fire

This got me thinking to what the 7 totems of Swansea could possibly be? Things that any true Swansea resident would have encountered at some point but not necessarily a fixture (like a landmark) and are semi-unique to the place.

I'm struggling to think of any off the top of my head but I'm sure you clever/funny people might be able to come up with some good ideas...
