Jim White In June last year I put a bet on us to avoid relegation from the Premier League. It was only a £5 and was more of an act of faith rather than confidence; a proverbial two fingers to all the people predicting we would crash and burn. When I collect my winnings they will go …
The old RTB Landore Steelworks Sports Ground, adjacent to the new Indoor Bowling Centre had a reputation in the 1970’s and 1980’s as having the finest playing surface in the city boundaries, for football, or for cricket. 2 football pitches(the nearest to the social club sometimes used as a rugby pitch), a cricket square( used …
A late James Spray header denied Swansea City Reserves victory in their Barclays Premier Reserve league clash against Wolverhampton at Telford. The Swans were made to rue Stephen Dobbie’s second half penalty having led up until the final few minutes thanks Casey Thomas’ first half strike. The hosts missed a glut of first half chances …
I think most of us have got over the disappointment of conceding that last gasp equalizer against Chelsea on Tuesday and can reflect that it was another good performance and a point gained in our attempt to avoid relegation. However since Tuesday the club has suffered a few setbacks which while nothing to fundamentally affect …
“Number 3 – Barnsley, will play Number 38 – Swansea City” “Yes!” I screamed. Now this may seem unusual to most, a trip to deepest South Yorkshire in January doesn’t immediately strike you as the most appealing trip, but from my flat in Sheffield, I am only 20 minutes away, making it a very short …

Passing Purists produce Popular Platter of Festive Fare…, or, less in Tabloidese… Quality Match gets the Right Result. In an entertaining, free-flowing game on the Liberty’s quality surface, both sides produced a display that featured the full range of skills from some of the Premier League’s best technical exponents, albeit one that left each with …
Talking Tactics, amongst other things. I still get a terrific buzz from simply tapping out our fixtures onto a blank piece of paper because it is pleasurable to be in exalted, quality company. On Saturday, Harry Redknapp brings another of the genuinely iconic Clubs in English football to our Home patch, and that feels good …
Two points lost or 1 gained ? Perspective is all. When I first started blogging a couple of years ago, I wrote a couple of pieces on a Home game we had coming up against QPR in what turned out to be Ian Dowie’s last game as their Manager.That was the game where Alan Tait …
I would just like to wish every single Swans fan a very Merry Christmas. I really hope that each and every one of you manages to spend some quality time with family and friends. 2011 has been an incredible year for the Swans. Although many might worry that we don’t have the personnel to stay …
