So Peter Jackson believes that Lee Trundle behaved unacceptably toward his fellow professional players in the recent match against his Huddersfield team at the Vetch. He may not have spelt it out, but rather like the judge who believed that women who dressed in a certain way were asking to be raped, Jackson implied that …
A new season kicks off with fans optimistic on the basis of improved performances on the pitch in the latter half of last season. The common wisdom is that the attack will cause nightmares to any team in the division whilst our own defence whets the appetites of opposing strikers. Question marks surround a goalkeeper …
As the summer rolls by it seems that Brian Flynn has succeeded in persuading most of the players who finished last season on a high to re-sign. A feeling of quiet optimism seems to be surrounding the club, and the next few weeks should prove interesting as the final members of the squad are put …
So it all came good in the end, in the best Hollywood traditions. Not even Stephen Spielberg could have manipulated our emotions more effectively in a tale that kept twisting to the very last. Now the final credits are rolling, and if the story had been turned into a multiplex blockbuster, an emotive theme song …

A debate has sprouted on the Swanmail mailing list this evening (Sunday 6th April) regarding the potential longevity of Brian Flynn’s stay at the Vetch irrespective of the outcome to our season.

At one point of the “Golden Years” video, former coach Phil Boersma is interviewed telling viewers that there is no room at Swansea City for players who cannot play under pressure.
