Not sure I agree we have as good as squad as Bournemouth. Can't see beyond Siggy and Fabianski getting in their team. Bournemouth have a far more cohesive squad who will stay up. |  | | |

Bournemouth shouldn't even be in the Prem, bunch of cheats... | |

Man for man we possibly do. What Bournemouth have is a set of players suited to playing a particular way and with each other. We had the same thing until fairly recently. | | | |

Craig Burley's going mental in that vid I love it. | | | |

Burley's an idiot for the most part when doing analysis. Think he's gone native or something. Still, he gets paid so he clearly knows what his bosses want from him. | |

He's right there, though. At the end of the day it's results that matter, and the "fans were against Bob from the start" narrative is irrelevant in the face of regular 3 and 4 goal pastings. | | | |

Fabianski wouldn't get in their team | | | |

I'll say this, the current squad is NOT good enough to stay up even with the right manager. Investment in January is essential not optional.
The only way we could stay up is by default I.e. three squads worse than ours which I don't think exist in the PL currently.
The next 5 weeks are critical. |  |

Good piece that.
And at last someone eho appreciates the value of judgement based on what we see each match, rather than stats people get of a web site:
"Then there's the simple eye test, which may be deceptive but is very real when making decisions. If you watched Guidolin's Swansea -- both last season, when they rose from 17th to 12th under his stewardship, and this -- you saw a team that ran themselves into the ground, putting in tons of effort and coming close. If you watched Bradley's Swansea, you often either got listless tactical weirdness (the Manchester United game, with Borja Baston and Fernando Llorente as twin target men and Gylfi Sigurdsson of all people as the speedy winger, springs to mind) or a clustered mess of errors (the 5-4 against Crystal Palace is Exhibit A, B, C and D)."
Absoflippinlutely. |  | | |

Well done for all that work you put in on that ridiculous American site (bigsoccer?).
The way you were sticking up for the Swans i'd swear that you're more white than blue/red these days.
Your politics are still shit though. | | | |

Banned from there, fella... they reckon I posted "personal attacks". Bunch of clueless muppets.
Some are reasonable though.
EDIT: Apparently, calling someone "Thick as pigshit" is a personal attack.
Bearing in mind I posted that at one particular cretin who seemed to believe Kaplan and Levein buying shares from private individuals meant they'd thus invested money into the club...
Snowflakes, the lot of them. They'd last less than a minute at real games before complaining about bad language... [Post edited 28 Dec 2016 20:47]

How is "thick as pigshit" not a personal attack? | | | |

Well... in all fairness, he was thick as pigshit. Having explained how Kaplan and Levein bought the shares, he still insisted the club had thus had investment.
Personal attack or trying to bring on an epipheny of self-realisation into his own intellectual facilities to try to encourage him to develop... it's all subjective... | |

Technically buying shares in something is "investing". No further injection of funds is required to meet the definition. |  |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

Hmm, pedantically it's investing money and / or other resources such as time.
They still, as I pointed out, had put zero money directly into the club.
The guy insisted that by buying the shares, they'd put money into the club. | |
