Leeds United? Premiership B? Hmm......

Okay so they were poor efforts but someone somewhere will have believed them....

I don't suspect that it got too many but we had a bit of a chuckle (albeit a small one) putting them together and it must have taken all of two minutes to fiddle with the Premiership logo to add a B onto the end of it. Having said that, knowing the way football operates against unofficial websites I suspect that by the end of the day there will be a writ in the inbox for infringement of their intellectual rights. Can the people who run football really claim that?

So sadly there will be no Premiership football for us next season. The Championship will remain exactly what it is although it should (hopefully) be boosted by the presence of Swansea City in it and Pete Winkleman to our knowledge has not tabled such a proposal. Mind you the concept of trying to move a football team to a new location was one that we thought was a wind up when it first happened so anything is possible. And maybe the thought of 200,000 Swedes watching the game in Stockholm's version of Walkabout is a pipe dream. Well, for now anyway.

And as for Richard Cramer and his belief. To our knowledge he has not said anything since the initial comments about their 25-30% chance of getting back points. Well, that again is not strictly true he has probably said much but there is nothing we can find about this particular case. That one was just designed to get the people at the world's favourite club (ahem!) thinking and no doubt a few of them gave the whippet an extra bonio as a direct result. Having said that mind if we did give them eight points back they would be within sixteen points of us. Blimey, there's a thought.

Anyway that was April 1st and, in much the same way there was always something on this site's previous life there will be on here - bet you can't wait the 364 days until we do it all again. No, really.

Onwards and upwards

Bar the Macaulay Langstaff news there has been little of any concrete info in the offing this week. Mind you that alone caused a stir. Between now and the transfer window opening on June 14th, which is the date for the European Championships to start there will be little to speculate on.

With the Swans retained list about to be named, generally around the 18th of the month, we take a look at those who stay, and their value to the club. The players who have the determination to turn next season in to more than a passing parade and a dismal home loss record.

Swansea City : The confusing decision making for a whole season
It was a pretty poor end to what can only be described as a disappointing football season for Swansea City. The defeat to Millwall yesterday was a display that has frustrated Swansea City supporters all season. A lack of effort, intensity and desire rewarding the home support with yet another home loss.

Swansea City : Grimes misses a penalty in a return to bad old ways
An error strewn and tepid Swansea display ensured thousands left the stadium before the staff and players did their usual walk around at this end of season game. It wasn’t a good look as two players received red cards and any effort by the home side was lost in a static and frustrating display.
