Never the subject. Always the object. 22:57 - Dec 21 with 2052 viewsjackrabbit

If Swans did go down, I'm convinced we'd be forgotten in a trice. After 4 and a half seasons at the top level we still don't command enough recognition to be treated as the 'subject' rather than the object. What am I wittering on about? Well here's an example. MoTD2 has just kicked off and was introduced so:

"...Arsenal v Manchester City, Watford v Liverpool and West Ham at Swansea". Notice, not "Swansea vWest Ham". It happens all the time unless we're playing, say, Bournemouth when we might have a chance of being the subject - Swansea v Bournemouth, not Bournemouth at Swansea. But generally speaking whenever Swans are mentioned in conjunction with another club, we are nearly always the supporting act. I'm not neurotic - it's just what I've noticed.

That'll be it.
This is exactly why England drew Bale(s) in the Euros.
That said, media are going to have a tough time explaining how England got beaten by one player and 10 donkeys.

If we did go down we would soon be forgotten by the plastics but not by the people that really matter.

West Ham are a bigger club
West Ham have more history in top flights
West Ham are above us
Our games are always cat C games to the likes of bigger teams

Be comfortable in your own skin

We are one of the smallest clubs in the league. Everyone expects us to be relegated at some point. Just like all the others who had their moment in the sun. It's just how it is.

Bigger clubs than us have gone down years ago and never returned. Look at Leeds and Forest.

Until we expand the stadium, I think this will always be the case. We missed a trick and should have expanded 2 seasons ago, IMO. We haven't been able to put more bums on seats and expand the fan base. You need more fans to be a big club.

EDIT - Didn't mean to quote the last poster.

Genetically, paedophiles have more genes in common with crabs than they do with you and me. Now that is scientific fact. There's no real evidence for it, but it is scientific fact.

I think that during half time Morris dancers should perform in front of the away fans.
