Last Updated on September 25, 2018. Published on December 28, 2011 by Jim White.

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 […]

Aston Villa v Swansea City – Match Report

Last Updated on July 5, 2016. Published on January 3, 2012 by Jim White.

Confidence breeds Class, leading to success. It’s quite difficult for us non participants to value the influence of a good result on the team – but in this instance maybe it’s a little clearer. After the feel good factor of a positively decent Home draw against the class-act that is Tottenham Hotspur only two days […]

“Win your home games!” The cliché is almost as old as football itself. However, in this league the big question is Will it be enough? Swansea go into Saturday’s game looking to secure their first points on their travels in Saturday’s lunchtime kick off against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molinuex.

Swansea City v Man Utd – Match Thoughts

Last Updated on February 29, 2016. Published on November 21, 2011 by Jim White.

This was the one we’d all been waiting for. In a seemingly endless week, perked and peaked by the increasing Media hype, what we got was “one hell of a Football match.” “Sir Alex Ferguson, Matt Busby, Paul Scholes, Roy Keane, Wilf McGuiness, Eamonn Holmes, Terry Christian, Angus Deayton, Lady Diana ………..your bhoys took one […]

With no disrespect to our previous guests at the Liberty this season, but the first of the “big” teams arrive in South Wales and they don’t come much bigger than 19 times English Champions Manchester United. Come 5.35 on Saturday afternoon, the White and red shirts will be lining up against one another, not in […]

Swans v Blackburn Match Preview

Last Updated on February 29, 2016. Published on December 1, 2011 by Jim White.

Given the impossibly predictive nature of last weekend, when human tragedy impinged on the hard carapace of the Premier league, and made us all think again, the Swans get to travel north to face a team and game that could well have consequences for Steve Kean, Blackburn’s first year, surprisingly chosen, under-siege Manager. I, along […]

Swans v Villa – An Early preview on Sunday’s game

Last Updated on February 29, 2016. Published on November 23, 2011 by Jim White.

Aston Villa, by the standards they’ve set in recent years, are currently experiencing a worryingly turbulent patch which for many of their supporters is at least connected to their employment of current Manager Alex McLeish as the successor to the health-afflicted Gerard Houllier. He in his turn had previously taken over from Martin O’Neill, the […]

Blackburn Rovers v Swansea City – Match Report

Last Updated on February 29, 2016. Published on December 5, 2011 by Jim White.

“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 […]
