Never knew Huw was into Reggae Punk Heavy metal. I do like their kits I must say.

Is Clive Myrie too " careless" to be a big earner?
at 20:05 4 Dec 2024

I have just done my tax and to help keep stress low I have been vigorous to the nearest penny with my return.

Clive it appears missed a reported £145k of his earnings in this report £65k elsewhere. He has acted quickly to apologize and declare he will no longer do this outside work.

Was Ken Gude in Swansea working on the buyout?
at 11:16 24 Nov 2024

Ken Gude came here with a seemingly open brief of changing " club culture". Some of the less cerebral posters suggested he was here to lower his golf handicap.

No mention of Mr Gude recently. Was he working on the sale ? Could it be his job is now done?

Changing club culture. Well that seems to have occured to be fair.

It is obvious. Snooker is not honest

This seems to be the third or fourth time I have read about this sort of thing. Match fixing = life ban simple.

Snooker is tailor made for corruption. Like toast and jam.

Wales u19 look a strong group.
at 14:24 17 Nov 2024

They will come second in their group haven beaten Scotland. The group is France Scotland Wales Lichtenstein.

Wales lost 2-1 to France and gave them a tough game. There have been some tonkngs in the past varying from 8-0 to 4-0 etc so this was a good effort.

Swansea players in this group would have been Margetson who was injured. Iwan Morgan did not make the squad so must no be impressing at Brentford.

The French manager said this

Jean-Luc Vannuchi: "We started on the flat and we're attacking the mountain, we got over one today that wasn't easy, a very good Wales team that gave us a hard time. They were better in the first half, we were much better in the second and that's the main thing, because we had to win. That's not enough to qualify, we'll need a result against Scotland. A draw is enough but we're not going to play for it, we'll have to play a big game. We were tossed around in the first half, they logically opened the scoring but we were lucky to come back quickly. Above all, we were much more impenetrable in the second half, we decided to let them have the ball and be solid and united. We managed to get ahead of them and we even had chances to widen the gap but we didn't do it and in the end, there was a dangerous set piece in stoppage time. It was a close call, I said it wouldn't be an easy first round. Now we need one last positive result to finish the job"

Swansea players in the group are Margetson Jacob Cook and Thomas Woodward who missed out.iestym Jones possibly..

Can Yates still be a star at Swansea.
at 13:15 12 Nov 2024

Jerry Yates has scored 50 goals over three seasons and three this season more than any Swansea striker including Saturday's arcrobatic finish.

He is not a target man and like Bafatimi Gomis may not have been played optimally by Williams and Duff.

He is Swansea s most elite striker. This is what the Derby boss stated. ( Taken from FLW)

""Yates has shown over the last couple of weeks that he really is a talented player, and he's capable of scoring goals at this level. He just needs adequate support.

"I think when he played alongside Dajaune Brown at Coventry, it gave him the space to be able to express himself, and although Brown didn't really have a great game himself, what he did do was occupy the centre-half, so Yates could benefit from that. It definitely helped Yates in that respect."

Play him properly alongside Vipotnik and he will score plenty.

Even Newport County has outgoings of £4m. £2m from gate receipts. Easy to see why a TV cover FA Cup tie is a game changer.

Bravo to Huw Jenkins. He has my respect.

Trump and Brexit

https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/nov/06/donald-trump-tariffs-would-cut-u

Brexit which was promoted by Farage and Trump was meant to increase trade between US and UK. Now Trump is promoting a trade war and increased taxes on imports.

Brexit was for UK to be in the drive for free global trade.

There is also a concern of getting US permission to use UK missiles in Ukraine as it involves somewhere in the engineering US

Match stats aligned. Is this significant?
at 15:29 2 Nov 2024

Under early Martin games the possession stats were out of harmony with the shot shots on goal, touches in the box, corners goals etc.

Swansea had 60% possession but only 30-40 % of other parameters. Swansea were mid table only though the extraordinary exploits of Piroe with his XG.

I compared the two Millwall losses over 5 months and stated no progress. What was apparent wad that the stats for the recent game were more aligned. 60% possession 60% shots
corners etc. Only goals were out of synchronicity. In the May 2024 game Millwall had more shots and corners with 35% possession.

Today all the parameter aligned 60% possession 60% shots on and off target and 60% goals (66%). This alignment has taken over three years. This is what happens with Man city Liverpool and Chelsea who dominate all parameters.

Under Martin the parameter were often inverted. Cabango and Darling is the first really solid CB pairing perhaps?

I s do not claim to be a technical expert and never played much but the three years of possession football must start having an effect eventually. If a team has 60%of all these parameters with competent CB and forwards 2-1 wins are more likely than not in my simple logic.

Groundhog day: It is not about recruitment.
at 11:51 27 Oct 2024

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/live/c4n106r775zt

Six months ago I attended this game and was very disappointed at the lack of movement. Cullen was blotted out and Ronald the only threat. I had high hopes for Williams to build on Martin Ball and add more penetration. It is not going to happen.

Same teams
Same managers
Four new players
Same result
Same late goal
Same mistake
Same goslscorer

Six months player changes no progress.

Harris out thought Williams twice. Rinse and repeat. Easy.

This game was last June. I attended and as very disappointed.

Same teams
same result
6 same players
Even same goslscorer
Similar late goal.

So what does it tell us. It tells me with 4 new young energetic players

Harris has done Williams twice.
