95%+ of people on here don’t know the transfer fees let alone the structure of a deal, and many reports in the media or online are being pushed by one party or the other. However, it’s also naive to suggest that clubs, agents and players don’t know details of other transfers. Like most...

Haven’t seen any of the game and just caught up with the scorecard and result. Another SA bottle job in a one day tournament?

I think people are getting too hung up over the upcoming fixture list. The last 6 games of the season often bear no resemblance to the previous 40 with so many teams with nothing to play for. Sometimes teams are on the beach and sometimes they’re more relaxed and play without fear so trying to...

Less power than even 5-10 years ago though in fairness. I have no doubt that O’Dea played a big part in the signing having worked with him before, but I’d be surprised (and a little concerned) if he was signed without the recruitment team/CEO/board doing their own due diligence before forking...

If replying to me I was talking about last month when he was a sub in a league game. In general I agree with Darran though that Vipotnik should start whenever possible.

Tbf he did it last month. It’s unfortunate Idah being out for so long which has meant Vipotnik has played 90 mins in 6 of the last 7 games. I get the ‘professional footballer should be able to play 90 mins every 3/4 days argument’ but whether people like it or not that’s not how professional...

I think criticising team selection (over Matos’ spell as a whole) is a bit harsh. I don’t think anyone wants to go back over the right back discussion, but what pretty much everyone would agree on is that Key was going through a very poor run of form, his confidence was at rock bottom and he...

In general I’d agree but the difference this season IMO is that there are 15-18 first XIs and squads of comparable quality, which hasn’t been the case for a long time in the Championship - hence Millwall & Hull looking like they’ll overachieve and 6 points between 8th & 17th. At the start of...

Sadly, history suggests that things often get worse for the civilian population before they get better. Let’s hope that’s not the case this time.

I wouldn’t be making drastic changes for these last 6 games, but it’s definitely worth trying something and from a confidence point of view we could certainly do with winning a couple of the remaining away games this season.

Yep, opportunity missed in some respects for sure but we’ve been far too inconsistent, and to be truthful very poor in lots of matches, so deserve to be where we are. I’d like to have seen what Matos could have done with a full pre season and this squad (hopefully next year we’ll see) however...

Not seen enough of him to know what he’d be like in a high pressing team but he’s got quality on the ball that we’re lacking in the final 3rd. 100% worth a go in pre-season.

This season you’re spot on and I’m enjoying non-Swans matches far more as a result. I was just cautioning getting too far down the line of ‘100 point seasons being over’ and the ‘gap closing’. Let’s see how Wolves, Burnley & West Ham/Forest/… get on next season. Personally, I think this...

Not sure the Senedd elections are relevant with it being PR. They’ll get between 25% and 35% of the votes and as a result roughly that number of MSs. General election in 3 years time is a totally different scenario. If things continue as they are I think they’ll win a significant number of...

Having a great season tbf. I’d imagine their budget and wage bill is comfortably in the bottom half of the league.

It happened last season and the year before though. You’re spot on in that’s it’s not happening this season (although I wouldn’t bet against 2 of the 3 relegated teams still being promoted). I’m not sure that 1 season shows a pattern - will be interesting to see what happens next year with...

I’m jumping back in on the 100 points comment sorry. Burnley have got 100+ in 2 of the last 3 seasons (and they didn’t even win the league last year) The last 2/3 seasons have shown the exact opposite about the gap between the two leagues. Happily, this season seems to be reverting back to the...

Only fair way is using Uncle Jeff’s coefficient! 😅 (It’s actually quite interesting if you like that sort of thing tbf!) https://unclejeffscoefficient.com/championship
