Silly season and cheapskate small teams

Leeds to make audacious offer to Swansea for Ayew.


Much like the last saga with them,
£1.50 now
£1.50 in May 9if they reach the play off final)
£2 for automatic promotion

and £5 sometime in the year 2030

Moving back down
at 13:02 27 Sep 2018

To the Sketty area, by Olchfa school

Couple of questions for anyone;

1/ Is there a really good dog and cat kennels in the Swansea area, preferably combined. Didn't have the problem of pets that needed kennelling from time to time last time I lived there.
Really fussy about where my pets are housed when we need to be away

2/ What's the best Chinese/ Indian takeaway in the Sketty/ Killay area?
Always find word of mouth is the best way.

Hopefully this move will also allow me to make Trust meetings now, as well as make midweek games!

Many thanks in advance ladies and gents

Spat at, stoned in the street, and having to avoid bombings on the way to training. All because you want to play football."

Never train together as an 11 with their manager in attendance.

Swansea road system...
at 11:08 1 Mar 2018

listed for UNESCO World heritage site status

"After losing out to Coventry in the contest to become UK City of Culture 2021, Swansea City Council were understandably devastated but a light has appeared at the end of the tunnel from an unexpected source. The city’s ever-changing road layout has made it onto the UNESCO World Heritage List as a cultural site. The surprise ruling comes in the wake of the recent announcement of a scheme to ensure the road works in the city centre never achieve completion."

Lukasz has made 100 saves this season.
In fact he's been busy since being here, even under Monk's highest PL finish

Now Leighton James speaks out...
at 09:29 26 Oct 2017

I know what some people think about him and yes I know he's stating what we all know, but maybe, just maybe he has a point here

"It may be that Clement needs help. Do the Board ask him to name his best XI and tell him to stick with it for three or four games? No chopping and changing.

At least there would be a consistency and pattern of play. Even if the Swans lose, or it doesn't quite work out, I'd still love to see Clement stick with what he thinks is the best team he has at his disposal for more than one game.

At the moment he's making changes every single week, and he's even changing things from half to half at times. That clearly is not working."

Personally speaking, whenever I've spoken to him he's always seemed ok.
Definitely biased towards us and does want to see us and our club operate at our best as we all do, not matter what league we're in.

But then again, would Clement pick 4 or 5 defenders, a couple of goalies to back them up and have every one sitting in our penalty area?

Leicester fans are a bunch of whimps
at 18:43 20 Feb 2017

Sorry if this is a ferdy. Leicester fans have made complaints to the club and the FA about a bit of abuse from the lovely fans of Millwall. Who'd have thought that Millwall would be a cause of trouble? Those lovely pie and mash people? Really? Truthfully, who in loving fug would go to the Den and not expect to get abuse? http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/lcfc-complain-to-fa-following-clash-with-millw w Was weak with laughter when I heard it on the news earlier

Which I know has absolutely no place on here but we are still only 3 wins off moving above Leicester.
2 wins and we're out of the relegation zone providing others lose. Which shows exactly how poor the PL is the season. We should have been really cut adrift by now.
If our players decide to start fighting sometime soon, we get a halfway decent coach in and Captain Beaky is allowed no-where near the transfer market (otherwise we'll get Adomah!) we may just be rebuilding in the Prem next season. Not in the Championship
Now provided we can then keep a halfway decent coach, Beaky is replaced by someone who has even the slightest idea of what constitutes a PL player, we may just be able to get back to the mid-table mediocrity we were at under Loudstrop.
Under Brad we were screwed and down. I had fully accepted we were Championship next season a few weeks ago. Only brightside was, more games for my ST money. Oh and going out of the FL cup a round earlier
If we go down, with the contract extensions handed out and the lack of quality brought in by Jenkins over the last few windows, we may possibly go straight through. Let's hope the new owners can see it this way as well

Quo gig
at 18:18 17 Dec 2016

Just back from the Quo gig in Birmingham last night. Superb. Really good gig. The responsible one absolutely loved it as well. REO speedwagon were really excellent as well. Hadn't seen them since the mid 80's Totally different atmosphere in Birmingham City centre after the gig to what I remember of Wind St from just 3 years ago on Black Friday- no sign of trouble without a heavy visible Police presence. Work mates/ friends (must have been thousands) etc well oiled and everyone having fun. How I used to remember Swansea from a decade or so ago. All I remember from Wind St a few years ago was fight after fight breaking out. Well done and thanks for a good night Brum!

Football being killed off by technology and social media
at 20:18 25 Oct 2016

Just came across this article in the Telegraph about people losing interest in the game.
Also goes on about the stupid transfer fees meaning more and more people are just turning their backs on the lot.
Our sell out b'stards certainly haven't helped our cause with poor transfer window after poorer window

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/10/25/modern-technology-is-in-danger-of

Could the reason actually be "overkill" with the amount of games.
I know I start losing interest and really don't feel like watching West Brom V Watford or any other mediocre teams, such as Boro, Sunderland etc.
probably even include us to non Swans fans

We used to get a month or two off of transfer talk when the window shut.
These f**king news outlets can't wait to spend everyone's money.

"Still, reports from Italian website Calciomercato mooting a shock transfer target has sparked debate amongst our Merseyside locals.

They suggest the Kop titans are ALREADY casting an eye over Swansea City midfielder Leroy Fer, after the Dutchman made a good start to life in Wales."

Someone's not going short of Tapas anytime soon...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3780337/Roberto-Martinez-wins-

"Roberto Martinez wins astonishing£10m pay-off from Everton for sacking... and it could have been more
Everton sacked Roberto Martinez in May with three years left on his deal
The Spaniard, 43, received an eye-watering one-off severance payment
Martinez wanted the £12m he was due to receive, but settled at £10m
He agreed to a reduction if his payment was made in one instalment
Martinez had signed a five-year deal in July 2014 after a great first term
Chairman Bill Kenwright had agreed to a deal that warned off other clubs"


Know he had 3 years left on his contract but yet another sign of the inherent madness in the PL.
Not sure how long/ much longer all these costs will remain sustainable by any club.
Soon as people become switched off from the PL, then no TV company is going to be chucking £Billions at the game

Can't watch any of the posted videos

Guessing this problem has been answered numerous times, but the search function on here isn't coming up with anything.

I can't watch any of the videos posted.
Settings are to "images and videos shown" but just getting a black patch with nothing on it.
Can't see any other settings to adjust
Was watching them up to the last weekend
No problem watching on any other sites eg you tube and the like.
AV programmes haven't blocked it as far as I can tell. That and they'd block all sites wouldn't they?.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.
Will check everything tonight and try and sort it out
