Fer - Let's Finish With A Win

The Swans welcome West Brom to the Liberty on Sunday to bring down the curtain on a season that started with a win, was horrendous for four months after that and only last weekend secured the safety we desired.

I think it is fair to say that there won't be too many Swansea fans who will remember the 16-17 campaign with any fondness as we went through three managers, two sets of owners, boardroom unrest and - January aside - almost paid the price for some pretty shit transfer windows in recent times.

But Leroy Fer has one thing right ahead of the game and that is it would be brilliant to sign off with a win and end the season on a positive note that would take our unbeaten run at the end to five games with thirteen points picked up from those matches.

West Brom have been on the proverbial beach for weeks and are definitely there for the taking despite their current Top 10 placing and the irony would be for all our trials and tribulations this season should we win we will end just four points behind them in the final table!

Speaking to the official site looking ahead to the game Fer said "Securing our Premier League status at the weekend was fantastic for everyone at the club,” said the Dutch midfielder.

"It was a huge relief for us all, and now we can look forward to the final game of the season with no pressure.

"Now it’s time to celebrate and make it a game for the fans to enjoy.

"The support at Sunderland was unbelievable. It felt like a home game - they were singing from minute one until the end.

"They have been there for us throughout the season, despite experiencing tough times, and we want to put on a good show again this Sunday in order to thank the Jack Army for their phenomenal support this year.”

Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road
It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
