What a weekend that was
Travelled up in a self drive mini bus and stayed for two nights at Bredbury Hall in Stockport
Had a few pints before the game. When we scored I decided to run onto the pitch to celebrate. Within three yards of getting onto the pitch I was grabbed from behind in a bear hug with a steward shouting at me “ you’re going out “!
Luckily for me ten yards to my left ( we were on halfway ) another Swans fan had been wrestled to the ground by a steward. My steward 😃 decided to let me go to help his colleague allowing me to run back into the terrace.
Back onto the pitch at the end with thousands of others to see the Police arrest Gueret for refusing to get off the roof of the dug out.
Back to hotel. Later spoke to Graham Barrow there who I think was Bury manager that day. He seemed to know Martinez although don’t know what the connection was. A fab few days. ⚽️🍺🦢
Adrian Forbes also got the last league goal at the Vetch the week before against Shrewsbury of course who had a very young Joe Hart in goal. They were great days weren’t they. |

I’m not forcing anything on you and I’ve already said that there will be differing opinions and views
De Guzman though was an outstanding player. The fact that you couldn’t see that says a lot. Coming to us on loan from Villarreal he then went to Italian heavyweights Napoli and Eintract Frankfurt.
It might be an exaggeration to say that he was a Rolls Royce while the likes of Allen and Britton were Skoda Octavia’s but you get my point I’m sure.
Anyway you can try to make your point without personal insults. As I have. |

Yes opinions are and will be different of course
I suppose they will show a lack of understanding and appreciation sometimes as is the case here with you. |

Dear god. I might be arrogant and a know it all but unlike you I know a good player when I see one.
De Guzman was an outstanding Premier league midfielder who also managed 14 full caps for Holland. His technique was superb as was his range of passing and he was one of our stand out link men arguably in the history of Swansea City. As good as Allen and Britton were in their prime and that’s not in doubt it’s fair to say that De Guzman was the superior all round player. That period around 10 years ago he was as good as anyone around.
But the way I don’t recall meeting you. Hopefully another time when you can buy me a beer. |

Unsavoury chanting as you call it can get you arrested. This is not 1964. I’m not saying that shouting “ hope he’s dead “ will get you arrested but there are lines that you can’t cross any longer.
It’s unacceptable. In my view. Not illegal but certainly it’s crass. But are you saying that they are just thick youngsters messing around which makes it ok? It’s about standards I suppose. Meanwhile you carry on shouting “hope he’s dead” if you feel it’s appropriate. |

It’s obvious that you have very little understanding of football but you don’t need to price it every time you post.
The goal we conceded against Sheff Weds was nothing to do with overplaying in defensive areas. We have conceded some goals previously when doing just that but the pass from Darling quite simply was poorly executed. He was too casual and sloppy in possession but it was the right pass. You’ve even tried to bring Martin in to it. Have a day off. It’s boring monotonous nonsense with an agenda. |

I’m not asking about the value of Sainsbury’s shares or the cost of a pound of cheese. Chants at a club say a lot about its fan base. And that makes it relevant on a Swansea City forum. I’m hoping that I misheard it. Because childish stuff has been chanted for generations it doesn’t make it right or acceptable. Not in this crazy current world where you can’t say boo to a goose without it seeking legal advice. And the goose lets legal aid too. 😂 |

A manager ( whether it’s Ferguson, Wenger, Guardiola, Clough ) can’t legislate for the type of error that Darling made. Watch it back. That would not be a good look for a local under 7s team. The game was heading for a 0-0. A poor performance and as for entertainment value it was a 3/10 but players must take full responsibility at relevant times. An awful error and the result of a casual attitude. Darling is a talented player who might go to another level but presently he’s not in a good frame of mind … |

I’m hoping that my ears were deceiving me last night
Did I really hear that being chanted when a Sheff Weds player was injured?
If so was it just good natured humour? Possibly banter? Or people with a sheep mentality? It really needs to stop. As do any references to England.

Luke hasn’t been getting support. Our player recruitment hasn’t been good enough and hopefully things will start to improve.
We still need another three wins and a couple of draws to stay in the league. That’s the priority and then they can re-evaluate at the end of the season. From the top we are in a mess. I’d be looking at my options if I was Luke.
Back to the original point about the Trust, they’re history. On the periphery of things to keep the natives on side. |

I think you’ll find that the Trust have virtually no say in what’s going on at the club in terms of key decisions of this nature. Which is probably a good thing.
If you want a ten pin bowling night arranged though …..
On the gsme tonight we weren’t very good of course but arguably just deserved a 0-0. Darlings mistake was dreadful. Casual, sloppy and he looks to me as though he doesn’t want to be here. Same in his last game where his red card also cost us. |

I was walking alongside him and I assume his wife at Rome airport on Sunday lunch time . He looked a broken man. He was clearly embarrassed and his body language said a lot. The players too seemed despondent and that change was needed. There’s a lot wrong with Welsh Rugby but he had to go. It’s gone stale and he knew that although he’s given it his best shot he was no longer the right man for the job.
The support for welsh rugby is still there. An estimated 20000 in Rome. But I’d ditch the four regions so that the clubs can get full support again. |

Lampard played alongside and against the best midfielders in the world. He knows what makes a team tick and unlike you he understands the need for the right balance in a team. Players like Grimes who can keep possession and calmly take the pressure off in more of an holding role are integral to good sides. Lampard may or may not turn into a very good manager. He’s had his moments but time will tell. But in terms of his judgement of a player qualities and what he ( Grimes ) can and will bring to a midfield area there is no better judge than Lampard in this instance.
In the same way I would prefer to listen to the views of Alan Shearer than you in terms of what makes a good striker.  |

So a former world class midfield player in Frank Lampard rates Matty Grimes highly enough to believe that he will improve their team and yet some people on PLANETSWANS most of whom haven’t ever kicked a football don’t rate him 😂
I think that says it all. But just to add: the majority of people with a football brain will understand what he brings to a team. He makes what he does look easy as Britton did. Not as good as Britton but with a better range of passing it must be said.
Good luck to him. He’s served our club well. Hardly missed a game for 8/9 seasons. Earned good money but hes deserved it. It’s the right time for him to move on … |

A good ownership model at a football Club is key and absolutely crucial
We have been seriously short in this department and therefore struggling for many years now
Through the measured committed hard work of our managers and staff we have been able to be more than competitive at Championship level. With Potter, Martin, Cooper and now Williams we have more than held our own. You do sense now that we are entering some turbulence that might be too tricky to safely navigate and it all stems from the top. It’s so easy to blame a manager when often their hands are tied either partly or completely.
These are tough times. It’s not the Swansea City we knew sadly.
I’m hoping to see a few new players in over the next week which will give everyone a boost to see out the season. We aren’t safe yet. That’s for sure. And then hopefully we can see some support for our manager whether that’s Luke or as seems more likely someone else. |

Well done Merthyr. It’s the best outcome for them. League Two is a long way off but it’s a dream and it’s achievable. They’re getting good crowds. |

No not a Trust member.
And not a coward either actually.
The Trust made mistakes, we know that. But with their 21% shareholding in Swansea City they did not deserve to be treated in the way they were ( kept right out of sales talks until late in the day ). I’m not going all over it again as you’ll bore everyone senseless but you can I’m sure see that they should have been involved from day one. They had done enough to earn that. The fact that they weren’t says a lot about the people who excluded them.
Over and out on this subject from me . |

Dull as a brush. Got lucky at Swansea and consequently did well for a time but a legend in his own lunchtime he has pissed on his chips with the way they handled the sale. He’s history now but L the streets will not forget … |

I think you’ll find that they wouldn’t
I watched it. A committed effort with tackles flying in, huffing and puffing but in reality with little quality apart from some good left wing play from 35 year old McClean.
Characterised by a lump number 9 for Wrexham who was a mobile roundabout. Absolutely terrible I think I could have marked him out of the game at 62. 😂 |
