Swansea City v Sheffield Wednesday Liberty Stadium Wednesday November 25th 2020 Kick off 7.45pm
LIVE a on SKY SPORTS Swans TV Radio Wales Talk Sport 2
A Wednesday kick off at the Liberty, not something we are generally used to but as the next game is away to Nottingham Forest on a Sunday maybe there is some intelligent thought behind it. As it’s becoming evident we have to repeat things on here because some visitors dont grasp things very quickly there is possibly another reason. And that is because Sheffield Wednesday are playing the fixture - then it will go ahead on a Wednesday, just in case someone asks repeatedly the same question like - ‘What day is the game on ?’ Answer ‘Wednesday’ ‘Who are the swans playing ?’ Answer ‘Wednesday’
There is a link you just have to think about it and not go on other Swansea City sites looking for a different answer to the quite obvious one you have been told. Right that aside, we will have a look a few things from Monday, hope you are all spiffing 😘 Stay safe and speak soon.
Cooper Pre match
The good people of Sheffield generally live in the Bramall Lane area of the city, which is in Sheffield. Sometimes people who live outside this area go to support Leeds or even Barnsley. The other club in Sheffield is called Wednesday, the reason for this name is because on Wednesdays all their fans, I think it’s about nine of them do dreadful things with their parents. Sheffield Wednesday were the most bentest club in the sixties and invented criminality, they did this by letting their players pocket around 4 shillings to throw games, everyone went to jail including people who didn’t even live in Sheffield or know where it is. They also pretend to have won the FA cup but I’ve got my doubts.
An owl yesterday
Wednesday on a Thursday used to play their home games at Bramall Lane on a Saturday and sometimes on a Monday. They have also played on Sunday’s and Fridays. It’s an amazing statistic. Five other people know this. They now play at another ground. If you visit Owlerton where Wednesday play ( they are called the owls ) but you won’t see any owls. In 1986 a local group of chaps called the BBC captured all the owls in Owlerton and sold them to a restaurant in Wolverton which is on the London line twixt Northampton and Euston. How this link occurred we don’t know, but many books on the BBC ( Big Bad Clowns ) have been written. The Owls did have an equivalent to the BBC but they were always running about shouting and going home quickly. They are, let’s say, a dying breed of owl. The barn owl is a favourite, but don’t think the owls are wise people they are not, they are a bit slow on the uptake and walk about Owlerton with their mouths open staring at things they see every day in disbelief. The goldfish bowl of Owlerton is an interesting place to go. But don’t go there, it’s rubbish and has no owls.
The history of the Pulis The Pulis is an astonishingly repetitive character often seen hanging around pretty bad football clubs with his cap in his hand. He has two commands ‘get rid of it’ and ‘Lump it’ these are very intricate footballing coaching methods much sought after in the world of international football. A Pulis is now living in Wednesday, which is near Thursday but not Abergavenny or Aberystwyth. The common Pulis has a remarkably local accent to Newport, but as we know the people who live in Newport can’t speak so it’s probably a mistake. If a Pulis turns up at your football club you can be assured he will bring his coaching terminology with him. This will work for nine games, maybe eight then start to stumble and you will get relegated or killed or similar. A Pulis once won six games in a row then didn’t, and was sacked. When a Pulis won four games in row he was sacked then lost five and wasn’t. Wednesday are a religious club and once employed Monks to run their football team but the Monks had a Mrs, and well, we all know what happens there.
This is the religious Monk, another Pulis type but wears a school blazer and likes to look hard. He was in the inbetweeners
Garry or Gary as we like to call him once managed a Wednesday. But then got sacked, Monks always get sacked, it’s because they are shit at running football clubs. You can clearly see he has very odd ears which someone has stuck some counters on.
Match officials ANDY WOOLMER Michael George and Daniel Leach
Fourth Official : John Busby
Michael George Referee
The match spotlight will always fall on famous officials. In this case assistant referee (as he likes to be called) Michael George, pictured above in his referees suit, he is fairly well known. Many have carelessly whispered that last Christmas he stopped refereeing but that isn’t true. Not many people had faith in him, but they agreed to give him one more try. It’s not a fantasy that but This is how … he would never let the sun go down on his career, well after all, he knew we were waiting for him. Michael hates players celebrating, kissing a fool he calls it, Michael just wants players to have more freedom though when celebrating, not like they want sex of course, but he is praying for a time he is listened to. Michael once gave a presentation to the FA on corners, a different corner didn’t catch on, they called it too funky, especially for an outside game. One person did think it was amazing but called him a monkey for thinking it. Michael replied This is how I’m waiting for that day, but I do like spinning the wheel to give you everything she wants. He was punched in the face.

Swansea City News, views and football reaction, without the prejudice.
Totally agree. Ayew was a distinct and definite injection of class. I shudder to think where we’d be without him. I don’t know which was the more appalling - Cullen’s non-contribution to the first half, or the pitch. What the hell has happened to the pitch? I remember our ground staff winning awards for the best pitch in the Championship...many moons ago. Now, I wouldn’t walk my dog across it. Anyway, we were unlucky at the final whistle. Say what you like about VAR but if we’d employed it at the end there we’d have been awarded the goal.

Awful first half from us. Cullen was terrible, Lowe not much better but the changes at half time from Cooper made a big difference. Good second half against Weds who by then were only interested in defending deeply in numbers ...

Could do with Vik back as now would be the time to give Lowe a breather I think.
Cullen didn't look ready to start games but off the bench is a different story.

Tbh this sort of game didnt help cullen, he isnt a hold up type of striker, our midfield was too deep to give cullen and lowe the balls they needed.
As soon as ayew and palmer came on we pushed up which in turn pushed weds back.
Imo cullen should play in front of lowe alongside ayew, but i suspect that cullen will be out in the cold with gyokeres back in contention for sunday.

Ref blew up early thinking there would be a foul with so many bodies in the penalty area. Then bottled it when he realised the incident the high boot (as the overhead happened after the whistle, though he might have ruled it out for a high boot kicking their player had it not).
Not surprising to see so many focus on the performance of the (4th choice injury cover) academy player on a poor first half team display all around. Can well remember the pelters Roberts, DJ, McBurnie etc. caught on here in the early days of their careers. Players with a transfer fee or posh club badge on their training kit seem to get far more benefit of the doubt, knives sheathed for a few weeks at least. Neco Williams getting similar treatment from Liverpool plastics tonight. And we wonder why they don't show loyalty a year or two down the line (not that Liam's in that calibre, unfortunately)

Agreed. I was waiting for him to get going, fired up or enthusiastic. He seemed to be resting on his laurels. which was telling. It's what not very bright people do when they think they've made it.
The cons column far outstrips the pros. The only big pro I thought he had was being a fox-in-the-box. He flunked that on the weekend. Tonight there was nothing. He needs to come off the bench and nick a few to justify inclusion.

Click on the story, Cooper goes berserk with Woolmer and Phil Blanche tweets Cooper complained to the FA about his appointment before the game.
Good on Coops for calling out the pathetically predictable ref. Our manager is getting more streetwise in all aspects.
The first half performance showed he got the selection wrong. We needed freshening up after the weekend, no zip, little movement off the ball. Cullen was a mistake which won't be repeated.
We were a different proposition 2nd half. Let's hope we can continue to kick on from another leap up the learning curve.

Didn't take long for Grimes to start sucking the life and momentum out of our play again. Even Trundle was having a go at him for it during the game. I get rotation, but the last four or five games should have made it crystal clear even to Cooper that MG is not part of our best XI. The occasional flash of inspiration doesn't make up for the slow and cautious nature of his passing the other 99% of the time.
Fulton plays unless he's knackered or injured. Dhanda further forward. Smith and Palmer can fight for the other slot until MGW is fit.
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.

Shocking first half,much better second and we get shafted at the end.
SO,why not simply start off with pace and tempo and put a dire team to the sword.
Rotherham and Weds were there to be crucified.
As for Cullen,Im sure he's a lovey boy ,love animals and gives to charity but please hardly a star in the making. Fox in the box? Wow. Woodman,still a weak indecisive keeper and Bennett the glue for that defence. A good signing.
Ayew,is a class apart,great pro and a player who is leading us single handedly. Hope our recruitment people are working out how to replace him.

Yep. Grimes getting slammed for lack of options ahead of him and players being on their heels whenever he tried to play a ball in front of them. Players who don't get a touch escape blame over.
Fans love to shout "get it forward" without noticing there were 10 Wednesday players surrounding 3 of ours ahead of him centrally during the first half yesterday, some of whom weren't even looking for the ball (Smith).
He's one-footed and so quite easy to shut down without options. What do people expect him to do, dribble through players every time and pick out needles in Pulis haystack?

Maybe pass a football 25 yards to a team mate in acres of space approaching the penalty areas right before full time.Grimes is one of those guys some love to defend no matter what.
I remember McBurnie and James getting similar pelters on here from probably the same individuals. More recently Guehi, last season was allegedly the worst footballer some had ever seen Cullen had a poor half, thats not even debatable however let's not resign him to the dustbin just yet is it.

Dustbin, definitely not, but he was a passenger yesterday and the ball just wouldn't stick. Not ready for starts yet in my opinion but still a good option off the bench when chasing a goal.
