Swansea City News, Match Reports & Academy
Swansea and Brendan Rodgers have been commended highly this season for their attention to detail, their use of match analyst and the fitness and training sessions which appear to be making a considerable difference to the level of injuries we’re suffering. And rightly so. Being an exile makes you look at such trivial things too. …
Last week, the guestbook was attacked by some people out there in Cyber space who think its funny to try and bring down sites like ours. They tried to flood the guestbook with millions of messages and requests and our hosts did not like this and so took the site down. As many of you …
Richard of Warwick was flabbergasted when he read reports that one our opponents next season, Newcastle, were paying over £70m in wages. Others on the message board, like Jamie, have been complaining that we have not spent enough to compete, and if we did, we would have won promotion. I guess the fact that Newcastle …
I read with interest last week to see our neighbours Cardiff City signing Craig Bellamy from Manchester City. It made me think about business, football and the gamble that every organisation takes to grow and move forward. Should you gamble to achieve (and if so how much) or live within your means? Cardiff have been …
Swansea City 0-0 QPR Match Report by QPR Fans Network – Clive Whittingham It was a real case of déjà vous for QPR on Tuesday night as they survived a penalty being awarded against them to draw 0-0 with a promotion rival. I couldn’t help but smile after the final whistle at the Liberty Stadium …
Championship – Nottingham Forest 3-1 Swansea City Match Report by Peter Charles It would be too easy to suggest that this game turned on the award of a slightly dodgy penalty early in the game.

After a third away …
Championship – Leeds United 2 Swansea City 1 on Saturday, 11th September 2010 Match Report by Bethan and Peter Charles A disappointing outcome to an entertaining game, though the Swans will be ruing the squandered opportunities which ultimately cost them all three points today. For much of the game our midfield performed like the best …
Well, yet another new season and yet another manager. This is becoming an annual event though I think almost everyone will agree that we’re far happier with Paulo Sousa leaving the club than we were about the defection of the Roberto Martinez twelve months earlier. Yes, we finished in an admirable 7th position in the …
Championship – Swansea City 1 Burnley 0 on Saturday, 28th August 2010 Swans picked up another three points in a hard won game that turned out to be the proverbial game of two halves. Swans dominated the first half with the only downside being the missed chances. Poor referreeing and Darren Pratley’s stupitidy saw Swans …
