Swansea City v QPR Match Report

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 […]

Nobody said it was easy

Very recently, Guillem Balague, one of my and many people’s favourite Sky Sports pundit, spent some time with our estimable Manager Michael Laudrup, in South Wales. The interview confirmed, for us Jacks, that ML is both aware of our Club’s history, and it’s need to develop without selling out its past. Don’cha just love it […]

City to Liverpool to Chelsea – are we in Dreamland or is just the company we keep nowadays

Last Updated on July 5, 2016. Published on November 1, 2012 by Jim White.

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 […]

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 […]

WBA v Swans Match Preview

Last Updated on July 5, 2016. Published on March 7, 2013 by Jim White.

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 […]

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 […]

Swansea City v Fulham – Preview

Last Updated on February 29, 2016. Published on December 8, 2011 by Jim White.

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 […]

Swansea City’s game at Newcastle Preview

Last Updated on February 29, 2016. Published on December 15, 2011 by Jim White.

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 […]

Newcastle Utd v Swansea City – Match Report

Last Updated on February 29, 2016. Published on December 18, 2011 by Jim White.

It’s a phrase you will have heard often enough if you’re a football fan of whichever club – but on occasion it rings true. As it did on Saturday at St James’ Park, when Swansea City clung on to the opening status quo, and suggested, no more, but just now and again, it could have […]
