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 …
“Football is an excuse to make us happy.” Jorge Valdano. The wonderful Argentinian, ex Real Madrid coach, World Cup Winner was sometimes known as The Philosopher of Football and the above is an apt description of how we Swans have always viewed our football, and it contrasts markedly with one of his more colourful descriptions …
As hinted in my previous NUFC preview piece, the quick turnaround of fixtures lets me concentrate less on Everton’s predicament, admirably analysed in depth here , by the teriffic Swiss Ramble, and focus directly directly on the squad.

With two difficult Away fixtures within the next week, Swansea City and the travelling JackArmy will have clocked up considerable mileage before we and they get to unwrap some Christmas presents. Of course then, we, the fans, will happily and post-prandially take in the …
The contrast from last week’s disappointing loss at Blackburn to this week’s Home fixture v Fulham will be particularly stark, however much we are naturally tempted to look at the teams in and around us in the Table as being the really key fixtures. Ostensibly, in comparing the two opponents, one is initially tempted to …
“Jogo Bonito”- The Beautiful Game. Or how “We wasn’t robbed”, but maybe we were pilfered. Pickpocketed, even. So it turned out to be a bitterly disappointing day for all we Swans.Having travelled North in great numbers, and despite long periods where our class shone through, we ultimately failed the test of one of the oldest …
