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 …
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 …
“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 …
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.

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 …
“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 …
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 …
