"Special Days That You Don't Forget"

When the Swans beat Manchester United for the third time running at the Liberty last month you could almost be forgiven for thinking that it was nothing special given the fact that last time around we did the league double over them.

But suggest that to Swans captain Ashley Williams and you will not get him nodding with agreement as he believes that each victory like that is as special as each other on what has become a remarkable journey for the Swans.

This is the first season I think that we are given the credit for being the quality team that we are as we were not written off at the start of the season as we have been in previous years.

Last time around we were widely tipped for relegation but finally it does appear that this season people have sat up and taken notice of just how good we really are.

That was proven with an excellent draw at Chelsea on the opening day of the season and of course that come from behind victory against Manchester United at the end of August.

"We’ve won the last few games against them, all by the same 2-1 scoreline which is a bit weird, but when you beat one of the top clubs — especially one like Manchester United — it’s a special day and one that you don’t really forget" said Williams.

"I think this is probably the most quality I’ve seen in a Swansea team personally,” Williams says, with his team sitting pretty in seventh after a bright opening six games. "We’ve got at least two teams that we can field, so there’s strength in depth. We’re in a strong position at the start but there’s a lot of football still to be played.”
