We vex had our bitching but you ve ended the season in style and no matter who was right the result is all that matters whether anyone goes to games or not
I did a roll call at Sunderland and found nobody who d admit to posting.
Spoke to a lovely couple on the metro and as I mentioned it ,they both went rather pale.
What pub were you in Perch? We were in the Lambton Worm great welcome, can't speak highly enough of the Mackems, just like the Geordies, always a great welcome
You give it out, you take it back it`s all part of the game
After the west ham and Bournemouth games at Xmas, it was as clear as anything could be that if Bob stayed we were down, and I genuinely feared we were heading for league one.
Always felt the squad was ok, without being brilliant, and a decent manager would give us a,chance, more on the basis that there were plenty of really crap teams in PL this season for us to overtake, we may yet catch Watford and Burnley.
The blip over Easter did have me really worried.
In the list of all time important swans goals, this one is now right up there.
Just to let you know ...I bought a round of drinks yesterday before leaving and didn't obtain a receipt to claim out of pocket expenses
E Pail...special mention...as nuts as me but worry guy . You can have opposing political views without abuse ,honest. His lad is a great guy too and a credit to him
Also, wonderful to see flag Edinburgh Jacks..
Hope they don't have to report to this site as to when they go to games

with bob in charge I thought we would miss the championship and go straight to div 1
Me to! He still thought he was the dogs b@llocks and God's gift despite the horrendous defeats, the appalling amount of goals being scored against, the instantaneous collapse of team morale once a goal was conceded, his inability to sensibly pick a settled team etc etc etc.
The way the guy would (Me! Me! Me!) hold court in the most self indulgent and egotistical fashion, the way he could go on and on and on when the least said the better would have been the more sensible reaction. He must have some form of narcissistic personality disorder like Tony Blair who has never been wrong!
Argus!

I don't think I actually felt 'safe' until the the second Palace goal went in against Hull yesterday. It made the drive home from Sunderland far more painless.
I'd kind of convinced myself and accepted that we were going down. We were a broken team at Christmas time, and before the recent Stoke game it looked as if we'd let our heads drop again. I just thought that whatever we kept doing, Hull would be able to match us.
I was convinced we were down at xmas,had a reprieve for a spell,then right up until the Everton game i was absolutely convinced we would be a championship club.
The Bradley appointment was truly shocking,right up there with the Cullis appointment,a vanity appointment by our new owners,i do sincerely hope that major lessons have been learnt.

At the start of the season I thought we were in for a struggle bit might just manage to stay up. Then what an appointment !!!!! New Years eve there was no way back and we were down. A change and PC gave a glimmer of hope, dashed again by 1 point from 18. We got some form at the right time, when others fell to the pressure.
Not an enjoyable season, but even saying that we've had a few good games

A couple of weeks ago I was talking to a work colleague about how no matter whether we stayed up or went down, it's been the most intense season with both the highs and lows being felt to extremes in both directions, never known anything like it.
On the one hand the defeats to Middlesbrough, Spurs (x2), West Ham, Bournemouth etc were beyond dreadful, but on the other, the absolute elation felt at Rangel's goal at Palace, Llorente's two goals in injury time at home to Palace, the win away at Liverpool, turning around the non-penalties against Burnley and Man U, Stoke's penalty miss immediately followed by Carroll belting one in with a little help from Agent Allen...
It's been way too much tbh and I've had to take some weeks off watching games just to cope! I sincerely hope next season is a lot less exciting, god knows how Sunderland fans have coped doing this every bloody season.

Yep it looked terminal for a long time, far too close for comfort but we live to fight another day.
""Although I cannot promise or predict the future, I can guarantee one thing - the current board of directors will always fight, as we have done over the last 12 years, to work together as one with the Supporters Trust to make 100% sure that Swansea City football club remains the number one priority in all our thoughts and in every decision we make."

You say that, but that Everton goal and final whistle will stay with me forever. Nothing like that has stuck with me at all from Monk's highest point season or last season. Cardiff the season before is the only thing that gets anywhere near.
Add in Burnley and both Palace games and, with hindsight now it's all ok, it's been quite a blast.
What other team could survive after appointing a total numpty jerk as a manager and having clueless jokers as owners? Something to tell the grandkids.
Definitely thought we were down. I had a horrible feeling they would just keep Bob on out of some American pride trip. Credit though, they woke up, smelled the coffee and made up for their mistake.

I didn't I always knew Mr Clement was waiting to save us.
When Clement took over I bravely went to the bookies and lashed out £5. Predicted Swans to stay up and named the 3 to go down. At the time we were long odds to stay up and Boro long odds to go down. However, had no idea until my visit to the bookies today that the bet was 50/1. This time next year I'll be a millionaire!!
