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

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 […]

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.

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.

“Jogo Bonito”- The Beautiful Game. Or how “We wasn’t robbed”, but maybe we were pilfered. Pickpocketed, even.
