Thread | Williams says major rebuild is needed in the summer.
by Swans9 at 05:09 19 Apr 2024
Gutted we not going to have rush worth next season he has been player of the season by a mile. We losing money every season even with massive wage and squad cuts. How many we continue to hold our own in the championship. If we did go down the money we would lose through TV deal would make it very hard to get back up. I hope he turns out to be Dr Watson with the signings this summer or Sherlock holmes will have to investigate. |

Thread | Did Cameron visit change Trump stance on Ukraine?
by ReslovenSwan1 at 13:25 18 Apr 2024
It may be pure fantasy but Trump seems to have unblocked Ukraine aid in recent days. It coincides with Cameron s visit to him. Perhaps he gave him some "old country wisdom" or used some leverage I am not aware of. UK paid off it's WW2 debts only in 2006 from the UK "lend lease". It saw the end of the British Empire.
Jets flying on the weekend over Israel came from UK s base in southern Cyprus I would imagine. Smoother operator Cameron. Brexit was his error of course. |

Thread | PDL cup final v Millwall U18
by KeithHaynes at 22:40 17 Apr 2024
OS
Swansea City Under 18s suffered heartbreak as two extra-time goals saw them fall to defeat against Millwall in the final of the Professional Development League Cup.
The Swans had taken the lead through a Thomas Woodward goal in the first half, but the Lions – playing the showpiece on home turf at The Den – would level through a long-range strike from Frankie Maciocia.
Neither side could find a winner in normal time, but late goals from Kavalli Heywood during extra-time would settle the contest in the Lions favour.
But the young Swans could be proud of their efforts against a Millwall side who have reached the semi-finals of the FA Youth Cup this season and, despite the disappointment, the young squad will take a lot from experiencing such an occasion.
Swansea had welcomed back the likes of Woodward, first-team squad member Aimar Govea, Yori Griffith and Cameron Llewellyn to their starting line-up.
And the opening chance of the game went their way when Caio Ifans picked up the ball outside the box to send a shot drifting wide of the post.
Harlan Perry fired over the bar in a strong start, but Millwall had the first big opportunity of the night when Abdulahi Abdulazeez got away a shot that Kit Margetson did tremendously well to tip around the post.
Lions keeper Albert Penney matched his opposite number when he got down to deny Griffith’s effort after fine work by Sammy Henia-Kamau.
Henia-Kamau was involved again when he sent in a dangerous cross that Govea was just unable to get a contact on.
But the pair would play a key role in the Swans opening the scoring. Govea picked out Henia-Kamau and, when the forward’s short was cleared off the line by Adedapo Olugbodi, Woodward pounced to tap in from close range.
Swansea so nearly doubled their lead as they carved out a string of chances before the break.
Henia-Kamau was unable to get on to Llewellyn’s cross, while captain Jack Fanning snatched at a shot following a corner.
At the other end, Iestyn Jones made a fantastic block to prevent Jack Howland levelling, and it would be the home side who made the brighter start to the second half.
They levelled the scores within minutes of the restart as Maciocia’s superb strike left Margetson with no chance.
The Swans responded well with Woodward having a close-range effort, with a flurry of navy shirts getting in the way to block the shot.
Thomas woodward
Soon after, a brilliant long ball from Govea reached Jones, but the defender sent his header straight at Penney.
Fanning looked to have restored Swansea’s lead through a back-post header following a Govea corner, but the officials adjudged there had been a foul on keeper Penney.
Perry had a great chance a few minutes later, but he dragged his close-range effort wide, while Llewellyn placed a shot straight into the gloves of the Millwall keeper.
The 90 minutes ended level and extra-time was required. Howland sent an effort over the bar for the Lions before the home side were awarded a penalty after a slip by Callum Deacon in his own area.
Heywood stepped up, but Margetson made a wonderful save to keep the scores level.
It was end-to-end stuff as tired legs saw space open up. Ramon Rees-Siso fired over from a Govea cross, but it was Millwall who took the lead when Heywood latched on to a misplace pass and beat a defender before drilling the ball into the bottom corner.
And the forward added another goal in the final moments as he again converted from a loose pall as a great effort from the young Swans unfortunately came up short of silverware.
Millwall Under-18s: Albert Penney, Elias Mansor, Adedapo Olugbodi, Alfie Massey, Harvey Whiteman, Joshua Stephenson, Christopher Ojemen (Sheldon Kendall 71), Frankie Maciocia, Abdulahi Abdulazeez (Elidon O’Boyle 64), Kavalli Heywood, Jack Howland.

Swans to head to Austria for pre-season
Swansea City will head out to Austria this summer for a pre-season training camp this summer.
The Swans are set to spend a week out on the continent, before jetting back just before the start of the season.
With the Swans all but securing Championship safety, further details of the trip are likely to be ironed out soon, but it seems likely they will also play a couple of games during their stay.
"We've got games lined up and we've a week away together to try and train really intense," Williams said
"There will be a couple of games and then we'll come back and have one probably more game then into the season.
"I don't like too hot because you can't train properly. Somewhere in Europe that's not blistering hot for me is good.
"Then you have organised teams. Some of the things you hear, teams going somewhere wonderful but the pitch was terrible and the other team didn't realise that that was the level. Not on time, things like this.
"Austria you know things are going to be civilised, organised, and well catered for. It's a good one for me."
