The Premier Information Site for Swansea City Football Club
After our narrow defeat to last year’s Champions, Manchester City at the Etihad last Saturday, and our fizzing meeting against the iconic Liverpool FC at Anfield on Wednesday night, at which we came out victorious, and with a degree of style at 3-1, in a tie made bitter/sweet against our previous Manager BR, this Saturday …
On the back of two disappointing performances from the national side against Belgium and Serbia, we can now turn our attention back to Swansea City, and the Premier League. This Saturday sees Michael Laudrup’s men travel to Aston Villa. Last season Swansea arrived at Villa Park still looking for their first away win of the …
“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 …
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 …
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 …
SCFC2 has been exchanging some questions ahead of Wednesday nights big game with the guys from BlueKipper.com – the leading Everton fan website. Here are ‘Joggers’ answers ahead of our game. Here are my thoughts on our start to the season on the Bluekipper site as well in their ‘Swans Preview’. Are you happy with …
At this time of year the games come thick and fast. With two difficult Away fixtures within the next week, Swansea City and the travelling JackArmy will have clocked up considerable mileage before we and they get to unwrap some Christmas presents. Of course then, we, the fans, will happily and post-prandially take in the …
The contrast from last week’s disappointing loss at Blackburn to this week’s Home fixture v Fulham will be particularly stark, however much we are naturally tempted to look at the teams in and around us in the Table as being the really key fixtures. Ostensibly, in comparing the two opponents, one is initially tempted to …
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 …
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 …
