Swans Player of the Year Awards 2012

May 11, 2012 by Jim White

The annual Swans Awards dinner was held at the Liberty Stadium and with a crowd of over 600 people attending, the evening was a great success. All of the Swans management and playing staff attended with Chairman Huw Jenkins and his fellow board directors also present. The evening started off with the Holt Brothers (who […]

Barnsley Preview

January 6, 2012 by Jim White

“Number 3 – Barnsley, will play Number 38 – Swansea City” “Yes!” I screamed. Now this may seem unusual to most, a trip to deepest South Yorkshire in January doesn’t immediately strike you as the most appealing trip, but from my flat in Sheffield, I am only 20 minutes away, making it a very short […]

Aston Villa v Swansea City – Match Report

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 […]

Match Report – Swansea City v Tottenham Hotspur

January 2, 2012 by Jim White

Passing Purists produce Popular Platter of Festive Fare…, or, less in Tabloidese… Quality Match gets the Right Result. In an entertaining, free-flowing game on the Liberty’s quality surface, both sides produced a display that featured the full range of skills from some of the Premier League’s best technical exponents, albeit one that left each with […]

Swansea City v Tottenham Hotspur – Match Preview

December 29, 2011 by Jim White

Talking Tactics, amongst other things. I still get a terrific buzz from simply tapping out our fixtures onto a blank piece of paper because it is pleasurable to be in exalted, quality company. On Saturday, Harry Redknapp brings another of the genuinely iconic Clubs in English football to our Home patch, and that feels good […]

Swansea City v QPR Match Report

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 […]

Merry Christmas Everyone

December 24, 2011 by Jim White

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 […]

Everton v Swansea City – Match Report

December 22, 2011 by Jim White

“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 […]

Pre-Christmas Away days No 2 – Everton v Swansea City

December 19, 2011 by Jim White

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. When you first cast your eyes on their first choice (Sq No 24) keeper, Tim Howard, don’t […]
