By the time this game gets underway it could be all over, the swans now have the play offs ahead of them IF they can get something from this game or go through the mill against Derby County. Either way Cooper has lost the fans at Swansea, what can he do now ?
Apart from watch Bournemouth go third.

Is it on the tv ?
Of course it bloody is, insomniacs need some form of treatment
Numerous swans fans have decided to make the most of the weekend by not watching the utter nonsense that has been served up by this overpaid bunch of dickheads. There we go, a member of the team here who wants them all bloody out ! I’ve had enough, even when I’m at home it costs me to watch this rubbish, I’m tired, but I get up everyday, put in maximum effort, then I’m tired again, we push on. Elite athletes, oh please shut up.
Sorry Steve, but I can’t watch it any more, my eyes are bleeding
Reading - The real truth
Reading FC have a car park which takes three years to get out of. However not on this occasion. They were the first town to have a Little Thief in 1958. They are also the largest town in the U.K. to not have city status. More old ladies fall over and end up in hospital in Reading than any where else in the country. This is believed to be caused by a lack of spinach in their diet. As previously reported Ayrton Senna lived in Reading, he may have been born there if it wasn’t for the fact he was born somewhere else. He was a regular at “The iffy Gentleman pub” in Tilehurst for well over a month. His favourite food at the time was an emergency biscuit.
A Little Thief restaurant yesterday
In the spirit of solidarity with the ladies Edith Morley was appointed as Professor of English Language at the University College of Reading in 1908. This was a fantastic moment for Edith who it is believed never, ever fell over as she loved Popeye.

 Swansea City turn on the second half style and qualify for the play offs again 25th Apr 2021 14:50From the start it seemed the same old swans, that is bar a few glimpses of hope had turned up at Reading today. The positivity swans fans had before the game almost disappeared when Reading went one up. However, in true swans fashion it was to be a roller coaster from beginning to end. The swans are in the play offs again by damn !  1
More to follow.

Don’t know about anyone else but I have really enjoyed this game.
We are now only 1 point behind reaching the same tally we did in 2011 for our 3rd place finish. |  |

We'd be absolutely nowhere near the playoffs without Ayew. Our key player by some distance, yet oddly forever criticised. |
There is no substitute for class. Ayew is top class. Was that Hourihane’s pull back? |  | | |

I actually think we have played quite well.

That’s what I mean by Whittaker’s decision making btw.

I think we’ll still nick a goal or even two, but we are terrible.

We could offer to play both legs of the semi final away from home.
We look a miles better team on the road. |  |

No cover out wide and we paid the price. A win would have been very handy in helping to avoid Bournemouth. | | | |

2-2 FT.
That will do. They had everything to play for, a must win game for them.
We played well, cemented our place in the play-offs.
I’m happy with that. | |

More than welcome to have that opinion.
But please remember this conversation when people say they give plaudits with good performances.
Because they don’t. | |

Would've taken 2-2 all day before the match, but I can't help feeling frustrated that we've conceded yet another late goal.
Going to be even more frustrating when it inevitably happens in the playoffs... | | | |

That was a superb shot but a tad fortuitous considering how many bodies the ball travelled through. But Woodman’s fault?! C’mon, give a dog a bone! Bit bloody hard on the lad.
Incidentally, I’m Lowe’s biggest critic but he was excellent today.
Could’ve been better, but we’ve made it to the playoffs. That’ll do. | | | |

Praise for Ayew bit over the top. One lucky flick when he'd run himself into trouble and a tap in and you'd think he put the whole team on his shoulders to listen to Keith Andrews. Second half was good before and after the substitutions, seemed only a matter of time before we'd score.
Thought him bollocking Cabango right after he came on for misplacing a pass was out of order. | | | |
