The 2013-14 Season in Review – A Summary of the season just gone

Updated on July 11, 2016 by Jim White. First Published on May 18, 2014

If somebody had made us an offer at the start of the season to finish 12th in the Premier League, reach the last 32 of the Europa, bag 74 million quid in TV revenue, beat Cardiff 3-0 and also celebrate their relegation, we would have said “Yes please”. In a nutshell, that is what the […]

Swans v Palace

Updated on February 29, 2016 by Jim White. First Published on September 22, 2013

What a week to be a Jack! First, we enjoyed and endured (in equal measures) what can only be described as the Jonjo Shelvey show on Monday night against Liverpool in the Premier League. Then, on Thursday, we destroyed the mighty Valencia away from home 3-0 in the Europa League, backed by over 2,000 ecstatic […]

Arsenal come to the Liberty

Updated on February 29, 2016 by Jim White. First Published on September 26, 2013

If you love passing football, then this one has quality and entertainment written all over it! Arsenal have started the season in superb form and sit proudly at the top of the Premier League with 12 points out of a possible 15. However, the mighty Jacks are also “purring”, following fine away victories against Valencia […]

Swans head to St Mary’s – Match Preview

Updated on February 29, 2016 by Jim White. First Published on October 5, 2013

After a crazy night of Europa League action last Thursday at the Liberty, we head to the South coast this Sunday for a 1.30pm kick off against Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium. For those travelling Jacks, it’s free food and drink (well, a pie and a pint) in the ground, though 3 points would be […]

The Swans lose out to Citeh in 5 goal thriller

Updated on February 29, 2016 by Jim White. First Published on January 1, 2014

The first game of 2014 saw a 3-2 defeat to Manchester Megabucks City at a wind and rain swept Liberty Stadium. Despite the defeat, the game was actually a gripping encounter and one the neutrals watching on Sky television would have enjoyed, as it was rich with entertainment, cracking goals and the odd bit of […]

A Tired Swans denied 3 points by Mike Dean

Updated on February 29, 2016 by Jim White. First Published on March 2, 2014

Crystal Palace striker Glenn Murray scored a dubious late penalty as the visitors came from behind to grab a 1-1 draw at the Liberty Stadium in a game that was very much a story of 2 halves. The Swans completely dominated the first 45 minutes, only to run out of steam in the second half, […]

Awful 2nd half performance gives Swans Relegation Headache

Updated on February 29, 2016 by Jim White. First Published on March 16, 2014

In a game that should have been wrapped up by half time, the Swans crashed and burned against fellow strugglers West Bromwich Albion at the Liberty Stadium, leaving us perilously close to the relegation drop zone in the Barclays Premier League. The Swans came into the game missing talisman defender Chico Flores following his sending […]

The Swans pick up a Vital point at the Emirates

Updated on February 29, 2016 by Jim White. First Published on March 26, 2014

A 90th minute Mathieu Flamini own goal saw the Swans grab a vital point away from home at the Emirates Stadium and in doing so gave Arsenal Manager Arsene (grumpy bugger) Wenger even more to think about following his side’s drubbing against Chelsea on the weekend. Sorry Arsene, no sympathy from us as we need […]

The Swans pick up a vital win against Norwich

Updated on February 29, 2016 by Jim White. First Published on March 31, 2014

Two goals from Dutch midfielder Jonathan De Guzman saw the resurgent Swans batter Delia Smith’s Norwich City 3-0 at the Liberty Stadium (sorry about the cheap food joke). The win saw the Swans rise to 13th place in the Premier League, with a seven point cushion ahead of Cardiff City who continue to sit in […]

Inconsistency again – Swans lose on the road at Hull

Updated on February 29, 2016 by Jim White. First Published on April 6, 2014

The Swans slumped to a 1-0 defeat at the KC Stadium courtesy of a solitary George Boyd goal on his return to the Hull City side following a three match suspension for spitting at Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart. Despite having the lions’ share of possession, Garry Monks’ side didn’t have the cutting edge to […]
