The original, and obvious, reason for the offside rule was to prevent a totally unfair advantage to an attacking player eg if he stood way past the last defender. Fair enough. But where is the obvious advantage if the last defender and the attacker are in line with each other. I'm with...

Whatever the statistics are, my eyes just tell me that it's more direct and entertaining than the Martin and Williams bore-fests. Thank god !!

God how we could do with him up front. Absolute pleasure to have witnessed him

... who can either still go up or down 😂 Crazy league. The other two are Wednesday and Norwich https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/ckg1y7ddrpxo

Then just blame Laudrup for your bad memory, rather than calling the whole thing a disaster and berating marketing people. Joyous occasion for me, glad I wasn't standing next to you 😂. Though what's all this got to do with Modric, I just don't get it 🤔.

A strange post this, esp. the last paragraph above. I for one loved seeing our only major trophy on display through the City. As did thousands of others. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-south-west-wales-21579285

This compilation just popped up on my YouTube. For me - a mixture of pleasure/pride 😊 but also sorrow with what we've lost 😓. But at least we experienced a great ride, lots never have. Weirdly, I also enjoyed the win of another football team today - Newcastle. The Final at Wembley genuinely...

Yes, you're right of course. The Forest Forum must have been referring to his time at Huddersfield , who they beat in the play-off final. Well anyway, they rated him as an opposition player. Fingers crossed for us.

For what it's worth, I looked on the Forest Forum and many there were complimentary about O'Brien ...at least as regards his Championship quality. Some even said he was one of their best performers in the promotion season, a good box to box player. But not subsequently as a Premier League...

While I'm not necessarily going to disagree, for me it's primarily about really enjoying the football on the pitch tbh. Which we had then, but most certainly not now. I'm bored stiff with it ! And the low attendances and drop off of season tickets tells the same story . And I'd never...

I agree. My analysis was just concentrating on the football on the pitch. But, yes, the good scouting etc off it, was pivotal.

Looking purely at the football played on the pitch, the "Swansea Way" is not something that has been our style over the whole period of our existence. It's merely a tag for our most successful, and arguably the most entertaining, period in our history, from 2007 to 2014. Then to a lesser...

A manager who encourages pace, by god we are missing that. Who encourages players to express themselves and says don't be afraid to make a mistake if an intended incisive forward pass goes astray. Who encourages players to actually try and beat a man one -on -one. Cut out the pass, pass, pass...

Eom. Not convinced yet. And certainly does not warrant a "legend" chant following the style of "Leon, Leon". That should be reserved - and retired - just for the Master ! Crazy he gets a chant just because of a similar sounding name. Not worthy and just lazy tbh. I refuse to join in.

While the players might deserve a bollocking, this regular public airing by Williams is not helping. Especially as he doesn't seem to take any blame either. This will only end in tears. I reckon he's already lost the dressing room. They want him out. While as just mediocre footballers anyway...

It's a good question. On balance I reckon it's better to remain in the Championship. The risks and uncertainties of relegation outweigh the current status quo. Even though that is clearly unsatisfactory. If they sell, it's better to sell a club that's in the Championship. And who knows...

The above is obviously a wind up 😂 For any "negative" read "realist". For Russell's "legacy" read "bore fest". For Duff's "legacy" read " nil" To suggest " forget owners and money " - that's delusional. Williams cannot be absolved of blame of course...but get real, the owners are the...

Nope, not new news I agree, but well summarised by Phil as to our current position. And lessons not being learned. It also reminds us that there's little point in slagging the Manager off with the poor resources he has. My original post also asked the question as to what on earth is the...

This thread isn't about who deserved what in a rubbish game. And then posters abusing each other. The issues are far wider than that. These paragraphs from Phil's excellent article are what matter...and where we go from here. A swop with Wrexham is quite possible ! "Swansea City are...

A spot on Article ! These paragraphs are worth highlighting. Swansea City are currently paying the price for yet another transfer window where lessons were supposed to have been learned and would not be repeated. Missed chances was the statement from Luke Williams but the simple reality is...
