Coventry is in the West Midlands, despite being further east than Derby. So you could also add Birmingham and West Brom to that list of obnoxious supporters.

Never had a reason to dislike Villa, Walsall or Wolves. I wonder if that is because their supporters are less entitled or because we have spent less time in the same divisions as them?

Molineux is one of the three nastiest places I’ve been with the Swans. West Ham, and Liverpool were the others (both Everton and Liverpool). Walsall…hmm…might I venture Paul Merson. Villa Park is one of my favourite grounds.

Tbh and being serious I dont see them going up.

Interesting. I have a soft spot for both Upton Park (but not the new stadium) and Anfield, as two of the grounds where I have seen the Swans applauded off the pitch by the home fans. (I’ve also seen some appalling behaviour by fans of both clubs so I do know what you mean.) And I very much agree about Everton.

My worst grounds would be Millwall, Luton and Arsenal, the latter two when we were in the old First Division.

They may well be, but I don't think many of us were that impressed with them against us, I certainly wasn't. They will struggle big time to make the step up without some serious investment in strengthening a team only slightly better than the chasing pack. After all, teams have run away with this league and struggled.

 

[JackSomething]

Leeds and Burnley both amassed 100 points last season in the Championship. Sunderland managed 76, losing their last 5 games and then squeezed through the playoffs.

How those 3 teams are faring now shows that what happens in the summer regarding transfers is more important than how the teams did in the Championship and that it's pointless making predictions on how promoted teams will do.

Brummies, Villa, Wolves and Walsall Ive always got on with.
Lived up that way for a few years.
Used to play Walsall quite regularly if my memory serves. Especially when we were sh1te
Yes
West Brom are some obnoxious b'stards as well.
Maybe not as bad as Fester.
Or Derby

Just read on the BBC site that former Swansea player Grimes has joined Boston on loan for the rest of the season.

Looking from the outside Coventry problems are in their defence .
Going forward they score goals , at the moment they concede too many .

You say that, but the goals have started to dry up too.
First quarter they were scoring three, fours and even a seven per game.
As for Grimes, he’s not worth the airtime, and in years gone by, he’ll be forgotten, unlike the likes of Leon, Joey and even Bodde.

 

[malc]

Yes the goals have tried up for now ,
They have lots of goals in the team .
Lots of good attacking players .

 

[Dillwyn the Dog]

Wouldn't he have been our best player at the time? Can't think who was better. Franco?

Mental. Franco was far superior and to be honest Tymon, Vigoreaux, Vipotnik even Fulton better than him. Dar more impact from those for the team much like Downes had for us. Grimes is a grifter , the one who likes to look good without really contributing anything.

Being generous to Vipotnik there, as recently as last summer most people wanted him sold. He scored 7 goals in 44 games last season

 

[malc]

To be fair to Grimes his resilience was second to none ,
Hardly missed a game ,
Every manager trusted him made him captain
His passing range very good .
Yes he could have been more attacking .
I always thought he should have played 20 yards further forward .
Was he playing to the instructions of the managers ?

Hopefully we are not going to have 10 pages on Grimes .

Grimes is definitely the modern equivalent of Marmite.

It's undeniable he is a decent player, the amount of managers who have constantly picked him and kept him as captain is hard to argue against.

For me it's not the person it's the type of payer he is that frustrates me. I cannot bare this sideways and backwards pedestrian style of possession based football, it just bores the life out of me.

I much prefer a style of play where we are on the front foot and look to get the ball forward at the quickest way possible.

Give me AC/DC over Mozart any day of the week.

At least Mozart didn’t wear his school uniform at 70 years old. (Or even 35 when he died).
Someone should have told Angus 50 years ago that he can play but he looks like a twat.

Odd post.
