SCFC2
Yo, guys, welcome back to the Lib, for the show that must be seen to be believed. Previous performances against SCFC (North) have seen us struggle up at the Brittania, but have better outcomes and better enjoyment back here in South Wales. In a match shunted to 4.10pm on an armistice weekend, and coming off […]
The Psychology of being a fan
We ( Swansea City FC) been resplendent in our PL occupation of the past couple of years, and at the end of each subsequent period of time we’ve seen our progress year on year demonstrably evidenced by our final position and the results that mirrored it. Still, whilst I’d accept that we’ve made (and continue […]
Swansea City – a Tactical Appreciation
Given that we’ve just come off a painful 1-0 reverse to our arch enemies, Cardiff City, in the first ever all-Welsh Premier League derby, this might be a strange time to be considering the highlight question that’s the title of this piece – namely : Swansea City, a Tactical appreciation. After all, over the past […]
Fantasy Football – A preview of the 2013-2014 season
Well, now, here we go again. I’ve been blogging about the Swans for some years now. I started doing occasional pieces back in 2007 when we were in League 1 and so I’ve seen the recent upturn in our fortunes. However, prior to the shrieks of Jonny-come-lately that you may want to throw in here, […]
Arsenal Match Preview
You’re allowed to read this twice if you want – this Saturday, we stage our latest Premier League fixture against Arsenal FC. Yes, that’s right – the Gooners ; serial winners (though not of late) but a Club that has legitimate claims to not only occupy that fiction of the EPL (the “big” 4 ), […]
WBA v Swans Match Preview
Like many Swansea City fanatics, given our recent, rewarding and justified good press and “big up” in the National Media I’ve been much given on reflecting from whence we came – but – truly, as Harold McMillan once said – “We’ve never had it so good “. Just as curiously, when asked why things could […]
Moving on, Rock on, Bring it on
Last Saturday’s dismantling of QPR at home in our 4-1 win went a long way to convincing most skeptics that City had indeed, not taken their “eye off the ball” by neglecting PL form in advance of the Capital One Cup Final upcoming on the 24th. It reinforced what ML had been saying pre-match, in […]
It may be wet, it may be cold, but at least it’s not Tuesday
Of late, in the last couple of years particularly, when football pundits consider whether a Continental Import to a Club is likely to do well or not in the Premier League, the yardstick question seems to have become…..”Ah, but well, how would he/they get on on a wet Tuesday night at Stoke?”. This Saturday, when […]
Brendan’s return – Back to the future again
I find this preview comes to you in a slightly different mood to the usual, and that’s principally because this is the first time our previous manager, Brendan Rodgers, has returned to the Liberty in charge of his new team, Liverpool FC. I guess there’s still a twinge of frustration within me, but I think […]
City to Liverpool to Chelsea – are we in Dreamland or is just the company we keep nowadays
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 […]
