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.

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.
Its what fans do, that's football, its down to the players to prove them wrong or right.
Slamming players happens at all clubs, and has been since day 1,

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.
Criticism of a player is not personal but a fan's subjective viewpoint.Players know this.
Cullen is nowhere near and one day he might be effective at this level but right now he is NOT. It is a vital season for us and again the priority has been missed,ie,striker to replace Brewster. Every other position should have been put on hold while we secured this player.
It make me cross to see young lads like Liam being thrust in and be expected to in any way compensate for a great striker ,which is what we had in Brewster.

If Brewster had his way he was coming here on loan again, it was out of his hands, and the clubs, as soon as Liverpool wanted a permanent deal for him we was out of the running with the money involved.

Yep,althoigh Ive seen it that he didnt have to sign for Blades.
Bottom line is he was fantastic for us and we have replaced him with a player on loan whom Steve does not see as a first team starter. A new striker should have been a new talisman.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think he was dragged to Sheff Utd kicking and screaming due to the money he was earning, but ultimately he still fancied his chances of breaking into Liverpool team in future and a loan to us made sense for him, similar with what Tammy did going back to Championship. That was my take on it anyway from what I heard from different people and saw in the media.
For me, Gibbs White is the big one, he will be like a new signing and make a huge difference in this team in my opinion, though Lowe was also disappointing yesterday and it could be time for him to have a spell on sidelines to recharge batteries aswell on that showing. Fingers crossed Big Vik won't be long.

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.
Ayew is a class apart indeed. I suppose it is almost inevitable that he will go, but if I was calling the shots I'd be seeing if a deal is possible: club captain, a lower basic wage, but good conditional bonuses built in, and lots of praise. He is certainly worth the wages of any two of the rest of the squad. He seems to like our city.

Brewster escaped a lot of criticism on here for games where he was absolutely useless at holding the ball up or making anything like an effective run. We were a dire team in poor form until we put Ayew up top with him to do all the heavy lifting.
Lot of closet Liverpool fans around (our manager included). Klopp wasn't fooled though.

I've seen enough of Cullen to know he will make a career out of football and will score goals, just a case of finding his level.
Given he spent most of his time out wide last night ....if you watch the highlights back he put in a cracking cross from the left....he is not going to find himself in goal scoring positions often!
Give the lad a chance I think the expectation levels of sections of our fan base are way too high...Dont forget Pullis is a willy old fox has been around a long time and knows how to nullify players and catch us out as he did with the corner. Mind you many here thought Tammy a waste of space too

Didn't escape it from me, it was plain to see his general play was poor. But his movement/finishing in the box was ridiculous.
The Ayew point is a good one though, will be interesting to see how Cullen goes alongside him up there to see if we get an improvement. I personally think Vik should have a run though with Lowe having a breather.

But Brewster was able to do what strikers do and that is bang them in, and often out of the blue too.

In fact Klopp rated Brewster highly. Enough to include him on the bench for a Champions League Final for Liverpool.
Brewster enjoyed his time at Swansea and he wanted more first team football something Liverpool couldn’t guarantee him despite his promising form again in pre season there

I noticed that when he went from the U18 where he was scoring a lot of goals with Dan James to the u21 he took quite a while to readjust. He had a long barren spell then last season he clicked and starting scoring again.
Perhaps he needs adjustment time. I would send him to TNS for 6 months like Cabango. Wexham or Yeobivl perhaps. The main thing he does not sit on the bench.
Wise sage since Toshack era

I think he had a bit of an injury problem that first u23s season, and wasn't getting time up front as Toshack and Richards preferred big lumps up top. Wales u21s still play him on the wing where I've never seen him be effective. When played at centre forward his scoring record was as good as anyone in PL2, but not the instant success many thought he would be as the academy wonderboy. Some we've since released made the step up look smoother but then weren't given time.
He's had offers higher than non-league but the club won't let him go out on loan.

I think cooper will hang on to him unless someone more experienced comes in around January. I expect something to happen. Like we all do. I think 😉
Then yes, give him some experience as you said. He’s 21 now so it’s a crucial 18 months for him.
A great believer in taking anything you like to wherever you want to.

Can we have anymore loans? Unless Palmer goes back.
No, I think we're all loaned out.
Palmer may well return once MGW is fit which gives us one slot. Shame we didn't have more faith in Benda as that'd give us the chance to bring two in if needed.
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.

Yes doc. That’s right. Can’t see Palmer going back he’s a decent lad. Unless they want him. At which point we could buy him, and a striker ? Big ask.

I'd drive him back for free
It’s amazing how opinions differ, beauty of our support I suppose. BTW Cherry red have bought the rights to 40 fall albums. And will release a series of box sets apparently. I’m having the vinyl.
Of course he is. He's been deemed surplus to requirements at a mid table second tier side. I'm sure he'll gladly accept the opportunity to fall upwards.
