Not that I saw. Pleasant ground, pleasant bunch of fans, but I had forgotten that the bars are so small and basic. That combined with the number of away fans who seemed to be buying 12 pints every time slightly took the edge off the experience. But getting back to the game, the away support...

Yes you can buy beer or yes you know the answer? Just for clarification…

Anyone know if away fans can purchase beer at The Valley? Or is it a dry stadium like Watford? We’ve left it a bit late to go to the away-friendly pubs… On the plus side we do see Liam Cullen at a coffee shop at Canary Wharf, so that was a bonus.

Could be a double bluff? Maybe Sheehan has been watching Celebrity Traitors?

Sorry, no idea (I live in London so have no need of a pub in the Paddington area). The Anchor and Hope near the ground is a good option though.

Or go Bakerloo/Jubilee to North Greenwich and get the 180 bus to The Valley. That’s another option.

Looking forward to this game. Decent ground, decent set of supporters who I’ve always found are happy to talk football with away fans. Much like Orient (and very unlike Millwall or Palace). They are only three points above us in the table as well - decent chance we can get something out of this...

They were pretty ungracious in victory last season at Carrow Road so I have zero sympathy. Not that we didn’t have a hammering from them, but for a while we tried hard and even looked like getting something when Cullen scored, but they were still pretty petty. Can’t say for sure that yesterday’s...

Well done on still living in Swansea and being able to attend home games. I was there at Southampton, I'll be there at Charlton, and I expect to be there at as many away games as possible this season and at least a few home games too. Does that make me an armchair or part-time supporter?

But talking about relegation is just ridiculous.

Agree with most of the above. Stamenic, Franco and Galbraith are all good players but too similar IMO. I do think Galbraith is too good to just replace Key at RB (no disrespect to RBs…) which is why I suggested trying 3 CBs, Galbraith and Tymon as WBs with licence to roam and both Vipotnik and...

Everything else was dreadful. Really? You have nothing good to say about our goalkeeper, our CBs, our willingness to fight for the ball (not every player, every time, but generally)? You make some good points, and then completely undermine them with your over the top comments.

I agree that we could have lost 5-0 if their finishing had been better. They are a former Premier League team with a squad to match. Describing our performance as “garbage” is a bit strong though.

The acid did help too.

I’ve seen the Swans slaughtered by superior teams on more occasions than I can count, seen Julian Alsop head a ball and then look around to see where it might have gone, been kettled by the police at Millwall, attacked by skinheads at Arsenal and bricked at Luton. Today I attended a good natured...
